With Nelly’s new album ‘Brass Knuckles’ in-stores this week, the St. Louis native stopped by The Tonight With Jay Leno show last night to perform current single ‘Body On Me’, with song collaborators Akon and Ashanti.
Though I’ve heard each sound better, they all put on a pretty decent performance.
What do you think of the performance?

The performance was alright. Ashanti…could have been better. All three of them looked pretty good, and they looked like they genuinely have a good time performing together. But I do seriously love this track.

Ashanti did not sound bad. If anything the only part I think she could have done better on was the “awwww-huh-awww…” she sang during the chorus with Akon. Everthing else didn’t sound bad to me at all.
Ashanti period is fire. Body, style, music, etc.
And let’s please not compare Ashanti and Rihanna… Because seriously if Ashanti and Rihanna BOTH sang live you KNOW that Ashanti’s vocals would be way more on point than Rih’s. And that right there is.

THE TRUTH!
