Ne-Yo has PMS

Ne-Yo recently gave a concert in which he announced he was not feeling well. Several songs in he began crying then walked off the stage. He came back after the band played another song, explained that he couldn't sing that song, but that he would return. He never did.

Ashanti should ask the Wiz for some stage presence

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.”
