This just in on the Russ and Olivia show, there is a petition against ASHANTI receiving the ARETHA FRANKLIN Entertainer of the YEar from Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.
Arguably her album is selling but it is not a stellar CD. Remember back in 2000, everyone and I do mean everyone was plugging Jill Scott's CD amd deservably so because girlfriend is NOT a studio artist; she puts on a heck of a concert; in other words she is an entertainer.
At any rate, there is a petition where you can sign your name to if you are so inclined to have them rethink the Ashanti nomination.
