![]() ![]() ![]() Unlike Rihanna, she can actually sing (don’t get me wrong, I’m a Rihanna fan) and unlike Brandy and Monica, Ashanti has a mainstream appeal, so her comeback will definitely overshadow whatever it is they’re doing. She’s in charge of her own career now, and she has recieved nothing but positive feedback for her latest effort. So, I’m not quite sure why people feel like Ashanti has no fans, or her success is dated, because it’s not. Irv Gotti didn’t promote her, and basically used that last album as an opportunity to fufill their contract. She’s only had ONE album that didn’t sell over a million copies, and that was her last release. Beyonce’s album didn’t fair to well on the charts, does that mean no one is checking for her? Let me remind you, Ashanti’s stardom exceeded 2002-2003. Rihanna has no vocal talent, but she puts out hot music and that’s what people want to hear. And the majority of the people who dislike her isn’t because they believe she has no talent, it’s because they’re stans of another female artist and only have tunnel vision. Who are you to say how big she’ll be? Ashanti has a LARGE fanbase. All we can do is wait, but something tells me, it will all be worth the patience. She’s been through enough these past years to know what to do and what not to do. I have no doubt that Ashanti is making every right decision she has to make to ensure a successful turn out. I much rather she take her time, and build an amazing project, instead of rushing out something and having it be lukewarm, or half-assed (again, like the “Rihannas and the Beyonces” of the industry) – She is a hardworker, and she more than anyone knows what’s best for her career. She is not only her own artist, but she’s her own executive – and has to split her time. Additionally, the song went for radio ads yesterday and today also. She confirmed via Ustream her video will be premiere in 2weeks. So you have to understand, things may take a bit more time with her. She is the only one pushing her project, unlike the “Rihannas” and the “Beyonces” of the industry, Ashanti is not backed by a huge mass of support. Ashanti has decided to take an independent route. ![]()
