Ashanti looks amazing and is well deserving of the award. Why is it so hard for people to just aknowledge when someone is doing something posistive, and has been recognized for it. People can be so negative, it's sickening. I'm sure if she was in the headlines for being a druggie, she'd have the number one album and featured all over, right? And this isn't about comparing her to any other artist, this is about her and her achievements. BUT if you ARE going to compare her to anyone, it damn sure shouldn't be Rihanna's yodeling ass. Ashanti shits on Rihanna with her warm-ups alone. Rihanna may have the popularity, but that's due to selling out and a huge publicity boost due to Chris Brown. Ashanti has the talent. She can sing. She writes her own music, which makes her work personal, and art. She's a beautiful girl, who's always smiling with a bubbly personality. And she's contributing positively. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. Congratulations Ashanti! You deserve it and much more.
