  4. BeyondGossip.Com July 26, 2011

    DAMN!!! She looks super HAWT in this pic…I am a fan of Ashanti in many ways….but over the years she gets it wrong sometimes. I don’t think she has the strongest vocals but hey, lets see what she has for us tor this album…im patiently waiting…hurry up Ashanti! 😉

    Looking forward to this. Yeah Ghetto Fab, it’s steadily climbing now. It jumped up from 100 and something today. Just saw on Rap up that Bey is performing twice on talk shows this week. Can’t say it’s a surprise. Ahh well.

  10. jarrett goer July 26, 2011

    yes, she about to slay!!

  11. Ashanti 187 On Haters July 26, 2011

    Why is there Beyonce Stan on Here Hello???? its Says Ashanti #Stupid #Beyonce #Stans

  12. Beystanbish July 26, 2011

    What is Bey performin on talk shows have to do with Kelly climbing ITunes? O_o

  13. Malibu Barbie July 26, 2011

    im geting Beyonce shooting her house of dereon ads + Jennifer Lopez’s “Im Into You” video.

  14. Beystanbish July 26, 2011

    @Ashanti 187. Shut Your mouth. Im giving Hairyshanti the comments that she needs cause lawd knows don’t no body cares..

  15. TWITTER.COM/ESSENCE_OF_SEAN July 26, 2011

    BEYONCE ALREADY DID THIS

  16. KD July 26, 2011

    @ ALEXISR-BAHAMAS

    I knew that Bey’s scheduled appearance on The View was going to send Kelly Rowland stans into a tailspin…Should it matter that Bey is performing on The View this Thursday?..if you stans were doing your job and actually supporting your girl this would not be a problem. I absolutely hate the fact that you dumb twats expect Bey’s life to stop just because Kelly has an album coming out this week. GET A F****** LIFE AND CLUE…Bey is not a God…she does not have the power to make people do things that they do not want to do…if someone decides to pass up Kelly’s album for Beyonce’s you really cannot place the blame on anyone.

    Now that I figured out why my comment was held.

    @KD

    My girl? I wish. You see how s*** she is? All humour aside, I was just stating what I saw on Rap up. It is just interesting that Kelly said the shows are “black” (off air) but Bey has two performances lined up this week. This isn’t a big deal ya know. I don’t even know what gave you the impression that I was upset lol. I bought the album among some others so I dunno what you are getting all riled up about. Dumb aye? LOL

    Niglet don’t even act as if the “can’t say it’s a surprise” statement was not some sarcastic b******* that was aimed @ making it seem as if the only reason Bey is performing is because Kelly Rowland is supposedly steadily climbing up the charts.

  20. ヅ•·.·´¯`·.·•-ΛALEXISR-BAHAMAS♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ★ ☆ ✰ T.I.P.•·.·´¯`·.·•ヅ July 26, 2011

    LOL. Okay. Beyoncé performing obviously has nothing to do with Kelly climbing on the iTunes charts. I could see you being upset at me if I was saying that Bey is only performing in the US this week because Kelly’s album dropped today (which my observation had to do with). But you’re trying to put as if I believe Beyoncé is watching the iTunes chart for Kelly’s numbers and booking performances accordingly. LMAO

  21. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) July 26, 2011

    did BEYONCE hired her to work for “HOUSE OF DEREON” as a model now ?!

    anyway she looks good ! wish it was about looks though ! but she’s supposed to be a singer !

  22. KD July 26, 2011

    @ヅ•·.·´¯`·.·•-ΛALEXISR-BAHAMAS♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ★ ☆ ✰ T.I.P.•·.·´¯`·.·•ヅ…

    Well Kelly stans (85% of them being certified Bey haters) are known for blaming all of Kelly’s past failures on Beyonce and her family (and most are bound to suggest that the only reason Bey is performing is because Kelly is dropping an album this week) …I am assuming you are not the same, so let’s put this back and forth to rest m’kay.

  23. theman July 26, 2011

    Beyonce has had all of this time to promote her album and she wants to start promoting when Kelly’s album comes out. Back handed tactics.

  24. bbq July 26, 2011

    loving it!

    A true talent. I just really hopes the music is good!

    She needs a hit!

    Fierce b****!!!

  25. Jude July 26, 2011

    I wait to see the album drop.

  26. KD July 26, 2011

    @theman; your comment should have read as follows:

    Kelly had all the time in the world to release her album and she wants to release it within weeks of Bey’s album. Dumb ass broad.

  27. nice_gurl July 26, 2011

    This pic is great. And I want to hear some music from her ’cause her songs are so good.

  28. Truth Seeker July 26, 2011

    Gorgeous Pic! I will as I have always done, support Ashanti. She makes really great modern R&B music. Her songwriting and truth be told vocal ability are very underrated. Its a shame that due to Stan wars and some media (blogs, radio etc) Ashanti never got the props that she deserved.

    I wish her much success.

  29. Kellymotivation July 26, 2011

    AMAZING photo shoot

  30. Kellymotivation July 26, 2011

    I really don’t know how an Ashanti post could turn into a Beyonce Vs Kelly debate……..I don’t know why and how it happened….only on TGJ……..this is getting ridiculous…..

  31. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) July 26, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION :

    i tried my best to distract them using rihanna’s news LMFAO 😉 ! lolz ! anyway this is kelly’s day and no one will steal her moment or her shine !

    p.s : it’s getting painfully boring and disgusting ! and lolz it’s ashanti’s post ! LMFAO !

  32. YEABEY LIKES TO PARTY! July 26, 2011

    Yes it lookss Beyonce-esque But I CANNOT BELIEVE IT BUT THIS PROMO SHOT GOT ME REALLY EXCITED! Whatever she is doing looks like its working!!!

  33. True Blue July 26, 2011

    @ The Man:

    Kelly’s been delaying her album for practically a year now. A WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING YEAR. Meanwhile, everyone and their grandma knew since LAST YEAR that Beyoncé would be dropping her album THIS year. So Beyoncé isn’t at all at fault here that she’s overshadowing Kelly. This is poor timing on Kelly’s part, not Bey’s. So you can take your lame-ass attempts to find fault in everything that Bey does and shove it where the sun don’t shine, mmkay?

  34. I COULD CARE LESS, GOOD DAY & GOOD LUCK! July 26, 2011

    I swear it’s the SAME people going back and forth about Bey, Rihanna, Kelly and Gaga. SMH Anyways, I’m not really a big Ashanti fan but she’s slaying in this promo pic. Interested in hearing her new material.

  35. ihatemyles July 26, 2011

    yea shes not the best singer but half the bithces out now cant even sing as good as her an they got #1 songs…..i kno ashanti can deliver a great song an im excited!!!!!!!!!! #teamashanti

    @RIHANNANAVY :

    BEYONCE AND RIHANNA SNATCHED HER WIG REALLY “GOOD GOOD”! loolz !

  45. RihannaNAVY July 26, 2011

    I can’t believe I actually agree with BeyStanBish on somethin.
    But really, Ashanti needs to hang it up already and just go marry Nelly cus Housewife is the only thing she might have a decent future in.
    She needs to stop being his side piece.

    LOL

  46. RihannaNAVY July 26, 2011

    Beyonce >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ashanti
    Beyonce got more talent in her fingernails than Ashanti ever had.

  47. RihannaNAVY July 26, 2011

    @ Pop Royalty,

    I think Beyonce snatched Ashanti’s wigs by herself cus let’s face it, Ashanti was done prior to 05 when Riri even came to the scene.

    I think Beyonce did the world a public service by ending that fraud that was Ashanti’s career.

  48. The Truth July 26, 2011

    Ashanti looking good and Bey stans need to jump off a bridge already, so Bey is the only one who has done photo shoots like this, pick up a copy of Vogue or something

  49. YEABEY LIKES TO PARTY! July 26, 2011

    @RIHANNANAVY
    Who knows maybe this could be her comeback….not to snatch any wigs, but to let the public know she is still around

  50. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) July 26, 2011

    @rihannanavy :
    In 2003, Beyonce released a solo album and has been making basic b******’ lives unbearable ever since. LMFAO !

  55. MissG July 26, 2011

    Well..I see who the first R and B singer who is going to try to copy Beyonce’s 4 African concept…has come out of hiding.

    Then she tweets about haitians dancing in the studio with her. Let me find out she has a hand me down Tofu Tofu in the studio. Girl stop.

    She is a great writer, but other than that, I don’t know if I see it in the new music. Best wishes to her though.

  56. pretty RickE July 26, 2011

    PLEASE STOP ASHANTI, DAMN! YOUR ONLY HURTING YOURSELF NOW,

    @PopRoyalty
    Yeah, I saw saw the cover of her in the jeep. I like it a lot.
    I like when she has that girl next door look.
    I hope the video is gonna be hot.

  58. RihannaNAVY July 26, 2011

    Def Jam was stupid not to release it at the beginning of the summer.
    Oh well, school is about to start so I can see a lot of college frat parties playing that song .

    lol

  59. stewie July 26, 2011

    So because kelly has a album coming out beyonce has to put her album on the side & stop promoting, so what ? Kelly can sell … I dont get it yall need to have a seat

  60. YOOSONDALOOSE July 26, 2011

    She looks fantastic, so excited for her comeback.
    Ashanti has been off for ages, and her last album didn’t deliver, she has taken her time and really worked on this album, c’mon Ashanti!

  61. James July 26, 2011

    YESSSSSSS! Ashanti! Looking beautiful like the Queen that she is! Her music has always been superior. You guys were just a little distracted from real music for a while, but I believe R&B will make a comeback and Ashanti and just the one to do it!! I’m waiting for you beautiful! Come back and bless us all with that talent!

  62. stewie July 26, 2011

    I use to love aashanti *i wanna rock with you all night longggg ohhhhhh” lol but she needs to have a seat this is not 2004, we got bey, rihanna,gaga katy, etc aint nobody checking for her sorry babe.

  63. Kisses July 26, 2011

    Ugh, give it a rest please! This post isn’t about Kelly, and Ashanti isn’t trying to cop Bey. The end.

    Anyways, she looks beautiful here. Can’t wait to here new music from her. Truth be told, all of her albums are underrated…

  64. Kisses July 26, 2011

    How did my comment get all the way up there? o_0

  65. t-blaze July 26, 2011

    Ashanti you look amazing…..I can’t wait until you drop your first single and cd…..I love your music and your talent impeccable…..

  66. MRB July 26, 2011

    Ashanti is actually a great artist! Plus she is a great writter! No i see a lot of Beyonce stans goin on her but Im gonna need Beyonce to learn to read before writting her next song!

  67. YEABEY LIKES TO PARTY! July 26, 2011

    I would laugh if this woman hops on the Pop bandwagon and release a flop pop single…I hope she comes with an Urban/R&B sound with little or no pop undertones..

  68. RealMusic July 26, 2011

    Idc what no one has to say. I think Ashanti is talented in her own right and has continued to grow with each album

  69. JAMIR21:BRIT,RIH,GAGA,MIMI,NICKI,MIKE,BEY! July 26, 2011

    hey gang there’s room enought for all of them old, young new.
    let them bring it on and it’s not a race it’s good music and sista’s doing
    there thing. remember no we was all blessed with differet levels of talent
    and some are born with it, some are trained, and some just goes on and
    show the world what they are working with and sometime does really well i
    love all of the talented sistas.

    i was amazed the other day when they was doing a sit down with a socialite
    and it was a great meeting and i was amazed that they stated that the socialite
    had reached the billion dollar mark on her perfume sales. it is great seeing all of them
    working hard on their careers and its really great seeing the sistas doing great!!!!!

  73. lax July 26, 2011

    ashanti looks great and i will be delighted to hear her new music,
    best of luck to ashanti. she have got a banging body, and you know there’s many artist like celine, mariah, tina and others cher still doing their thing. and all of the
    greats all was at different levels in their careers and all are doing their own thing
    and they are all very different and still doing their thing.

  74. Jasmyne July 26, 2011

    Lmfao at the Rihanna and beyonce stans trying to throw shade in a ASHANTI post…WTF please get a life you pathetic losers…and according to that poll most people ARE checking for Ashanti so HAVE A SEAT haters. Ashanti is coming so you will just have to deal. I know y’all probably getting a little nervous but it’s ok….anywho she looks FIERCE!!! Making all the haters sick as usual… Get it shani!! Oh and copying off of Bey, the queen Bey off copying??? Lmfao get real!!

    BTW I enjoy music from bey, rih, kelly, Ashanti and many others so idk why it always has to come to this Stan war s*** between all of their fans..it really is sad. I wish people would just grow up and know that there’s more than enough room for all artists…THE END!

  77. theman July 27, 2011

    Beyonce career ender? Really? To bad that career ender can’t seem to get a hit right now for nothing.

    As far as what i wrote it was written the way it was supposed to be. No edit necessary. Yes Kelly had tons of pushbacks, and so. She released her cd when it was right. Beyonce couldn’t wait a week or perform a week a before Kelly’s c came out? Some people are just self righteous fucktards. It’ll be the same thing weve already saw from her anyway.

  78. Take me as i am July 27, 2011

    Ashanti looks f***** great. she is about to slay i can see it all in t his pic alone. alot of people sleep on her for no reason. beyonce isn’t the only one with talent.
