Watch: Ashanti Performs ‘Never Should Have’ On ‘Marie’

Published: Friday 7th Jun 2013 by David

Ashanti took her ever welcome but at times overlooked music to the Marie Osmond show today, arriving to perform her new single ‘Never Should Have’.

Marking new territory for the R&B staple, her time on the show stood as her latest effort to push the single- lifted from her forthcoming album ‘Braveheart’.

How did she fare?

    Her vocals have improved tremendously, but the song is so freaking BORING!!!

    • toohotfortv June 7, 2013

      Yeah, congratulations on that one too. I mean, you can definitely hear that she worked hard on that. I think she just needs better A&R-ing… the voice is so much better, the look is almost there, it’s just the music and fine tuning that styling and image. I dunno

    She use to be the s*** in 2003-2005 but now she kinda like ehh… I wanna Stan for her, but I just don’t see her really making it when you got beyonce, Rihanna at the top of THIER game.

    I like Ashanti’s old music because I think it’s very deep but why is she even trying when Ciara is coming to slay all the RnB lessors. She should know that she has no chance in Ciara year.

    She is exotic looking. Come finish off the remainder of BEYdoneCE’s career.

  7. Music June 7, 2013

    Pfff… Ciara IS an r&b lessor if it took her 7 years
    to snatch a solo moderate billboard hit… BYE.
    I think Ashanti will flop tho. There is no hype for this song.
    Just saying. Forgot about her ass months ago before TGJ
    posted this.

    right there…

    • Bow down June 7, 2013

      • Bow down June 7, 2013

  10. Britney Stan June 7, 2013

    Decent.

  11. XtinaRebirth June 7, 2013

    She sounds great… I love the song… I guess being independent she’s on a budget… a few background singers would have helped!

  12. RiRi Bad June 7, 2013

    Wow she did great!

  13. Team beat a b**** down June 7, 2013

  14. CiCi Slaaaaays June 7, 2013

    • Super Cisus June 7, 2013

      Yesssssssss the two most overrated annoying b****** in the industry!!!!!

  15. yah June 7, 2013

    Idk Wut Yall talkn bout this song was actually done Great Ashanti just keep it up and keep negative forces out of ya life…

  16. jboss June 7, 2013

    it’s actually a shame that this is the best she has vocally ever sounded in her life. . .BUT she couldn’t get a hit if her life depended on it. Her iron was once hot,but miss thang dropped that s***.

  17. pat June 7, 2013

    Just because you can hit the notes doesn’t necessarily make you a good/great singer. Ashanti is a prime example.

  18. Tasteycakes47 June 7, 2013

    Some part of me thinks she needs to get Murder Inc back. If she keeps her vocals and allows for a real label to train her to being iconic and instead of underrated she would do wonders. This tracks lyrics have me on lock but the vocal performance literally had me disapproving it. I will purchase the album but in hopes that other tracks are worth spreading the word of this Written artist. But on a scale this is a C+

  19. millhouse June 7, 2013

    Ashanti Giiiiiirl — You sayed with dem vocals… This is the best she has ever ever ever sounded. I almost thought she was lip syncing. She sounded just like the record. Had she been singing like this from the beginning, she probably would have been on top for a little longer. And I actually like the song, now that I have heard her do it live. Maybe if she keeps giving good vocal performances, on her next album people will pay a little more attention. My suggestion to you Shani, is to go with a Major label. that is your best bet of getting back on top

    • bar June 8, 2013

      good comment only thing is no matter what she had done ashanti never fell off due to no other artist nor herself murder inc brung her down when irv faced big legal issues along with ja, ashanti career was forced down hill because of that she had no part in that and thats why she went independent to prevent that from happening again she calls the shots now =-) and going with a major label will get her to the top yes but she will be just a big ass gimmic/used artist like rihanna for example who cant sing but has fast food hits but she doesnt make any money jay z does lol ashanti is a smart woman she knows what shes doing

  20. NAVY NICK June 7, 2013

    I like this song, its nice & has a great story. SHE SOUNDS GREAT, sad tho, she will not sale @ all.., BUT I bought it, so I did my part!

  21. AAlan June 7, 2013

    ASHANTI SOUNDS AND LOOKS INCREDIBLE , AND WHAT THE THE F*** HAS THIS TO DO WITH BEYONCE AND CIARA , AND CIARA CAN BARELY F****** SING
    BEYONCE AND ASHANTI THEIR VOICE’S HAS BECOME SO POWERFUL , AND HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH AND BECOME BETTER,THAN EVER

    BRANDY ,RIHANNA ,MARIAH, CAREY ,CHRISTINA AGUILERA, TAKE SOME NOTES ,
    CIARA’S SINGING IS’NT THAT GREAT BUT SHE’S A GREAT PERFORMER , I LIKE CIARA , BUT I LOVED BEFORE

  22. TheUrban Gent June 7, 2013

    Solid Performance. It cant be denied that her vocals are finally on the level they should be. I’m glad to see she is still grinding and fighting. At the end of the day, the struggle makes you who you are and if she just ensures the material on her album will be adequate for listeners, she will do fine. All it takes is the right single.

  23. harris boy June 7, 2013

    she is the only female music artist to have 3 top 10 hits at the same time ON THE HOT 100.

    LIES!! ADELE did it too and she was the lead artist on all 3 of hers….#PR FAIL

    • kai2shawn June 7, 2013

      technical she had 3 songs foolish, whats love and always on time and if count the fact that she co-wrote and sang background on ain’t it funny by Jennifer Lopez so is 2nd after the Beetles but !st out of the female and Adele is 2nd

  24. sammi June 7, 2013

    No one who watches this “Marie” show isn’t even in Ashanti’s target audience. Performing on Ellen’s show would have made more sense than this. Poor Ashanti

  25. janet June 7, 2013

    Wow she looked fine a** can b, a real natural woman but what really amazed me was her vical performance shawty went off. All wee need now is more dramitic showing in the back ground and performances in Jimmy kimmell,jimmyfallon, Ellen, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Wendy Williams etc. Promo promo PromO!!!!!! Great song/lyrics/vocal performance Ashanti.

  26. jimmy June 7, 2013

    Wow just amazing !

  27. Matty June 8, 2013

    I love it! and Ashanti is holding her own without all of Riri’s money!! haters gon hate!!
