Cricket. Four hits huh? How many of them were actually credited to Ashanti? And NOT Fat Joe? And NOT Ja Rule? Ahhh...brings that number down, huh?
I actually bought her album because I heard that she wrote her own songs, and I respect that. I liked the first song okay, but wasn't fanatical over it. Straight jacked a beat, that is uncreative to me. I will admit that the writing on Foolish was good. However, the rest of the album, writing-wise, performance-wise, and otherwise was MEDIOCRE at best. And J-Lo's song was not really her best work. "Trying to blind me with your bling-bling/Thought I toldja love don't cost a thing..." Um...okay.
Please understand, that Ashanti is okay. I am not really upset at HER. I am upset at the HYPOCRISY pf Soul Train. When she gets booed, it is gonna be kinda sad really, because I think alot of people feel the same way. Sucks that she has to be in the middle of it.

Actually librasoul, I agree with you on those things. I myself am not an Ashanti fan--I HATED Ain't it funny (with it's shallow lyrics) and I don't like really like any of her music. She isn't even in the same category as ARTISTS like Lauryn Hill or Jill Scott. My only point is that somebody out there is buying/requesting and being entertained by this girl's "music", else she wouldn't have been nominated in the first place. If she gets booed, the public can only blame themselves, not Soul Train.
