The New York Times’ Charles Isherwood calling the show, “busily energetic yet full of dead ends." He described Ashanti as “a pretty place-holder, an empty vessel in a sparkly dress”.
Linda Winer of Newsday thought both Ashanti's singing and acting stunk. “Ashanti proves not be a natural theater actor, and, even more surprising, her silvery voice sounds thin and bland against the pros.”
The Associate Press’ Peter Santilli was a lone voice of praise for the singer. He called the musical a “lavish, well-balanced production...[Ashanti has]...wide-eyed charm and a can’t-miss voice, Ashanti makes the role her own while distinguishing herself among a skilled troupe of singers and dancers.”
Ashanti never was a strong singer. Without all that post production work her songs wouldn't be listenable.
ReplyDeleteAshanti always was a pretty face. She is supposedly really sweet in person. Not everyone can do musical theater.
ReplyDeleteI have said this before I would never use ashanti's cd for anything more than a drink coaster. She should model she is a pretty girl.
ReplyDeleteAshanti is fine as hell. I think that's how she keeps getting those recording contracts. She mesmerizes the record execs with that ass and those thick thighs and they tune out her weak ass vocals.
