Ashanti turned up the volume during a recent performance of the classic ballad ‘Home’. The singer performed the song on Friday evening at Mayor Lorenzo Langford’s inaugural gala at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. Ashanti is currently hard at work on her next studio release which reportedly will hit stores later this year.
Ashanti’s vocals have improved by leaps and bounds since her debut. When she first emerged on the scene in 2002, many compared her voice to that of Jennifer Lopez. However, unlike Lopez, Ashanti has continued to push her voice further and improve her vocal craft over the years. Hopefully, she applies this passion to her next album and create something edgy and fresh like she did with ‘Only U’.

I agree Ashanti has improved! Makes me love her even more.

Watch Brandy put out another Bathroom Session singing “Home” this time. LOL
In all honestly, that was…um…just OK! Nowhere near impressive, but for Ashanti…eh, I guess. She’s not a “big” singer imo anyway.

wow…..loved it…i’ve always thought ashanti could sing tho
Ashanti did a great job. She has improved so much can’t wait to hear the new album.
never really thought she could sing until NOW….wow, I’m impressed, she’s been working hard on improving those vocal skills and it shows, thank goodness!!! All the other “singers” should take notice.
However, she still has ways to go, but this is good enough to be considered a professional singer IMO, so good for her!!
WOW!!!!! ASHANTI KILLED THAT. I DIDNT EVEN THINK IT WAS HER AT FIRTST. WHOEVER PUT THAT COMMENT SAYING THAT PERFORMANCE WAS A MESS YOU ARE A HATER YOU STUPID F***. OBVIOUSLY ASHANTI HAS BEEN PRACTICING AND IMPROVING. NOW PEOPLE CAN STOP HATING ON HER. SHES DOIN IT!
ASHANTI Im PROUD OF U
STOP HATING PEOPLE!!
WHEN YOU COMMENT SOMEHTING NEGATIVE ASK YOURSELF WHAT THE F*** AM I DOING SO GREAT??
WHEN IS MY ALBUM COMING OUT?
peace and love
Nothing to rave about. It was “safe” as always.
I see Ashanti attempted at channeling the legendary Stephanie Mills’ cover with all those runs & ad-libs but it failed, epically.
Gotta hand it to her though. She paved the way for the non-singing generation (Cassie, Rihanna, Ke$ha, etc) BIG TIME.
Kudos.
I always thought Ashanti could sing well. She has always had pleasant tone to her voice. She has a similar vocal style to Aaliyah.
I don’t think this belting thing she does here suits her. It sounds a bit shouty and doesn’t fit her voice, imho.
IT WAS CORNY. SHE SOUNDED LIKE POO. IT WAS VERY SCREECHY.
I think it’s messed up that she’s the skapegoat for R&B singers that can’t sing. It’s funny how when she showed very little vocal talent, and everyone was saying she can’t sing, she was the biggest artist at the time. And now that she sings and puts in vocal work, shes overlooked and paid less attention too. Show’s what kind of music America loves!
I like Ashanti, I think she’s made alot of good songs, ever since shes came out, ill admit that I did think she was overrated when she first came out, buts shes prooven herself alot over the past years. I think theres other artist such as Rihanna and Ciara, that should be pointed out for there lack of vocal talent, and not Ashanti. Not trying to hate, just voicin my opinion which is the truth.
Um..I thought this site was for the consumer’s opinion? lol..well anyways. This was alright. I can’t wait to see what she comes out with..she has so much potential. Just need the right team behind her.
U got my support Ashanti
Ashanti did great. And Trizzy shut up because Ashanti sings circles aound all those people you name stop being negative a get life.
she’s not the strongest singer out there, but she’s a perfect example of someone who constantly works on her craft. bravo.
@kiko fierce… boy/girl whatever you are … Ashanti over Brandy… You stupid as hell for making that statement lol… not even gonna go into that. Anyway, it was aight. Heard better
Not surprised at all…….Ashanti is a great singer! I can name a handfull of singers out right now who can pulled this off! It’s ashame that this girl get the downgraded like she does but hey if you know Ashanti like I know her…..It only drives her to do bigger and better thing! Great job Miss Good Good lol! Can’t wait for that next album
can’t wait to hear the new material!
@STEFFON Brandy is a geat vocalist put don’t big up her like she is the best. Don’t try and bring someone down just to make Brandy look good.
Don’t compare Brandy to Ashanti. They both come from two completely different musical periods (starting times).
People are such haters, always have to bring someone down just to make one of their favorites sound better. Damn, childish.
I’ve been a fan of Ashanti since the beginning. I truly believe musically shes only gotten better too. Like to me her music is more catchy and just overall better as each album passed on. I do like a great deal of her music she released and cannot wait until she releases her new album.
I hope she signs with Interscope Records. I think they have a great promo team behind their artists including Fergie, The Peas, PCD (when they first started), etc. Good luck Ashanti, I can’t wait for her ALBUM!
@number1k9
RIHANNAS VOICE IS STILL THICKER AND STRONGER
RIHANNA WOULD NEVER SOUND THIS THIN AND BABYISH
F*** the rest but mane Ashanti kill that live. She coming back give her time, And now B about to take 2010 off yea she coming………… And last her vocals very on point very high. The girl dont have s*** to prove. She the Top 3 Female arista in decade. 1 and 2 Alicia Keys and Beyonce….
AWWWWW I LIKE THAT, THAT WAS PRETTY, I CANT WAIT FOR HER TO COME OUT NOW AGAIN, SHE HAS ALWAYS HAD A LOVELY VOICE, SEE YOU SOON
STFU HIHIHIHI , go somewhere, Ashanti is here!
That was a good performance! Ashanti has grown by huge jumps vocally speaking. She really had some mashed up live performances thoughout her career; which left her with a stigma! (refering to a lot of people saying she can’t sing) I remember when critics deemed her as a studio singer. She proved with flying colors that she doesn’t need the master production of the studio to sing. She just might have that staying power in the vicious music industry! I definitly see she is strong minded, self-secure, gentle hearted, and also has skin made of steel…refering to all the bashing and down-grading she gets. I really don’t understand why people pick her out as such a bad singer, when there are artist out 3x times worst then her and selling plantinum albums. Those singers know who they are too! And Why does she attract so much negativity in her career. She always in the public eye! But then again there are Artist who suffer worst criticism then her! Overall, She not Mariah but there is no doubt in saying ASHANTI can sing!!! Lots of RESPECT to her vocal coach!!
