    Ashanti is soooo AVERAGE!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 8, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Ashanti review helpful

    Although Ashanti is a beautiful girl, her voice leaves a lot to be desired. There is absolutely nothing special about how she sings. There is not ONE song, on the entire album, that illustrates anything unique, daring, risky, or outstanding about A...shanti. She just rides the beats ... period. To amateur/trendy audiences, she'll probably have a tremendous, short-lived impact. But, to those who know REAL music and REAL talent, she'll be passed to the back right away. Tweet is soooo much more talented. Read more Less

    Pros: Excellent Lyrics

    Cons: No emotional value

    Mizz Ashanti, or should I say Mizz Douglas, what the hell was she thinking when she made this album. Oops, my bad, she was not thinking when she made this album. I don't know what Irv saw in her, but I'm trying to figure out what he saw. H...e must have been blind as a bat to think that this girl actually can sing! The girl has the potential of a circus mop, the vocal ability of a sperm whale and the chops of liver! I just have one word to describe this so called collaboration: TERRIBLE!!!! Actually let me repeat that again....TERRRRRIIIIBBBBL
    LLLEEE!!!! I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I bought this album. I thought that this album had some potential but boy was I in for a rude awakening. Horrible, just horrible. I will give her props, the girl knows how to write songs. In fact, I believe that was the only good thing that she contributed on this album. The music and vocals were sooo tired, I thought that I was at a funeral. Barry White's funeral was more engaging than this atrocious attempt at singing. My advice to Mizz Douglas is that she needs some serious vocal lessons because if she keeps doing what she is doing she might end up singing in senior citizens homes. At least, they won't know the difference between good talent and horrible talent. If you want serious sleeping medication cop this piece of crap! Trust me, you will be sleeping with the daisies! Oh, by the way Irv, she is not the Princess of Hip Hop/R & B, she is more like the TROLL of Slop Schop/Voodoo DooRating: F

    U Call That Singing?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 12, 2004

    Pros: Interesting Poetry

    Cons: Substantial Lack Of Musicality and Production

    Mizz Douglas needs to go to vocal school. Girlfriend has the voice of butterfly but can not sting like a bee. Girl looks good, but lacks the vocal prowess. Too Many Goddam Samples. What the hell is going on here? Nothing shows originality. Girl ...got the vocal personality of a tuna fish. Nothing but bubbles. Irv Gotti is trying to push her to be the next Mary J. Mizz Blige got more chops than this freshman. The tracks are cute if not above all-monotone in approach and tuneless in delivery. Her rich alto needs a lot of work. She is lucky to have done some session work-which I feel that Irv gave to her out of pity.Her writing is on point, but her vocal prowess leaves to be much desired. The tracks needs a lot of polishing. If she got some vocal training and some decent production, she can be something. If you want to waste your money on a junk album, then this is the one to feast it on. Nothing compelling. To those who think this album is all that needs to get their heads examined.Miss Girl needs to put her tired voice out to pasture into a grave.Grade: F Read more Less

    Pros: She has a great voice

    Cons: The songs are almost all the same

    I dont have this cd but my best friend does and we listen to it all the time. Ashanti has a powerful voice but her songs are of the same topic as all of the other r&b artists. Dont get me wrong shes great but i think she needs some original songs.

    Too Many Samples

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 20, 2003

    There were only a few good tracks on that album I liked. The rest of them were nothing but a bunch of samples from classic rap songs like Biggie's "One More Chance (Foolish)." That song is hot but Ashanti wants to mess it all up! Ano...ther sample? Listen to "Baby." This sample came off of Scarface's song from his "The Untouchable" album entitled "Mary Jane." Happy was another sample, but I don't remember what that came off of (it's a sample though). She's just like Mariah Carey, using too many samples! I heard "Foolish" for the first time on 106 and Park and I was disgusted at the fact she used Biggie's song like that....that song's a classic! Irv Gotti can't produce for s&%*. You want real R&B, check out artists like R. Kelly, Jill Scott, Tyrese, and Dave Hollister. Read more Less
