Just Like with brandy
Y’all you refuse to say congratulations Ashanti you won the battle
I prefer keyshia’s music and her vocals. Although this broke the record, Brandy and Monica’s was more enjoyable to watch and overall, it was organized better and flowed nicely. This was rushed because of the lateness.
Keisha didn’t win it was Ashanti
They CAN’T SING at all
Yo mama can’t sing f*****, she should have swallowed a hater like u.
Flavor girls 🤳🏽 Marilyn MONSTROSITY and Shayla Feen CANNOT relate and that’s the bottom line lol 💋 Congrats!
