The key was as redefined said Ashanti was very well marketed. She was number1 for a very long time on 106th and park and she totally help others before her own cd hit the stores (J. Lo, JaR, the fat cat who looks like Big Pun). I believe that some of the younger folks out in the hip-hop world (and this is just my thoughts.....but they might be accurate) are looking for an Aaliyah replacement. I mean they both have that little husky girliefied voice, almost the same hair image only Ashanti's is all real. But all in all I think Mary should have gotten this award now if she can be on VH1 diva's then she should surely be honored in her own backyard.
