This is depressing news. She's not going to be able to get major promotion -- and therefore competitively compete -- going the independent route. There isn't one song in the top 40 that isn't released by one of the majors. Ashanti is not THAT kind of a singer; she needs a major label backing her. Damn. And here I was hoping that she would have a major comeback next year.

Oh well, maybe Brandy will get lucky.
