Star-Spangled Bananas
Posted by Bossip Staff
Ashanti sang the National Anthem yesterday at the Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Jets game. We were surprised that she actually sounded “decent”.

how bout them cowboys
Gobble Gobble Bossip!
I’m Just glad the Cowboys Won,,, Go Dallas!!
LOL @ Bossip.

Can you say… LIP SYNCH!!!! I’m sure they pre-recorded this in a sound booth somewhere to play while her lips moved for the crowd!!! LMAO!!! Cute outfit though.
P.S. GO SKINS!!! (HATE 2 THE COWBOYS!) (And I’m hatin cuz y’all are 10-1 — BASTARDS!!!) LMAO!
Ashanti……and to think that I once thought of her as a good singer. What the hell has happened to her career?
sounded good..im shocked…good job!
She probably stepped up her game and hired a voice coach. I don’t understand football so I won’t comment other than to say the men look hella good in those uniforms. still trying to get my big ole green mile negro to don a football costume in the bedroom and tackle my ass to the floor. I think I’m gonna have to slip something in his drink to get him to dress up for me, damn he won’t even do the cop and hooker costume I bought for us. damn he would so make a cute cop (:
Oops… I just actually watched the video. Forgive me for pre-judging her. She actually didn’t sound bad. I wouldn’t say great, but I’d at least say good! I think she started to think she was doing a music video toward the end, with the slight head slide shoulder move. LMAO!! GOOD JOB!
Ashanti do your thing, gurl.
i’ve seen alot of artist perform in baseball and da crowd will boo if they have to they dont hold there tongue 4 nobody so if da whole audience cheered for her don’t u think she did a good job and yall know for a fact they wont hire any1 to lip sync da natinal anthem so cut it out she did a great job give credit where its due.
Bossip is stupid she do be using that word alot though.LOL Cute outfit but there is no way in hell I would pay to hear her sing!
ashanti and “sing” should not be used in the same sentence. she needs to learn how to sing for that.
OK. So how come she wasn’t “sangin” like this from jump? Shorty got some pipes and a little sould. I always thought she was a little pop tart that couldn’t do notes like that.
wow i actually thought ashanti would be a better singer than that. i really shocked
She sounded really good. I was shocked. LOL, I think she got a raw deal with folks spreading the myth that she can’t sing. IMO, if anyone can sing that anthem, then they’re pretty darn good.
I think that just because it’s ‘Ashanti’ people are gonna hate - this chick could sound like Whitney Houston and folks would still find a reason to hate just ’cause it’s Ashanti! I mean dayum!! People keep saying that we need more variety other than certain overexposed artists, but yet we never give any credit to artists that are genuinely trying to better themselves as singers. Ashanti has come a looonnggg way since her debut and I don’t think it would hurt anybody to give her a little credit.
GO DALLLAAAAAAASSSS!!!!
But BOOOOO wealthy celeb dating sites, DAG NABBIT! lol

You dumb bitch, get a real fucking job.
yo just sit and be pretty. where’s your alta ego: Mary J Clone???
*rollling on the floor laughing my ass off*
She sounds like a scared lil girl, but that is ok. Do you, girl!
There is always room for improvement and that goes for all of us and she stood up and song that and the crowd thought she was good - well done to her.
she did actually sound decent, she must have been working with someone
Good stuff
She did not sound bad.
She can’t sing. For real sports fans, she also just performed the anthem last month at the World Series. Your career has fallen off quick when you tour the country singing the anthem.
I almost caught a foul ball at the World Series, but the man behind me knocked it out of my hand

I warned Bossip about that maybe if they stopped site scrapping and paid more attention to their own site they will stop letting these dumb bitches spam their site!
I have recently assisted in her vocal training and significant tone changes have been accomplished. With my continued support her career will be revamped in 2008!
Damn! She still sounds like the Cookie Monster. She cannot sing.
She did OK.
Why does she keep singing the Star Spangled Banner..
How about promoting a better song for her album???
She never sounded bad to me to begin with. She just can’t blow like say Whitney or MC but she can hold a tune. I never understood why she got so much hate while other r&b chicks got a clear pass when they sound worse than her.
Anonbun,don’t you mean my cyber nemesis?
*thinking, I hate dumb people*
SHE SOUNDED OK!
THE BEST: WHITNEY HOUSTON!
ANYWAY!

Just Sit and Be Pretty, What products do you use in your hair. It looks natural and I like the look. Don’t have cyber enemies, it is not healthy!
^^^^its so obvious that you are Just Sit. next!
I don’t even have to watch the video to know that this trash still can’t sing. She is and always wil be garbage. Why does she still exist? She need to go lay up under Nelly and ride out on his money ’cause aint nobody trying to hear her whining on a song.
…and i watched it and she still was garbage. her voice is horrible.
Her voice goes in and out but at the same time she sounded cute so I know she has had lessons lol….
Outfit: cute
Voice: on point
Knew all the words: Priceless
Moreaces
I’m Just glad the Cowboys Won,,, Go Dallas!!
^^^^^^^^^
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
GO DALLAS, GO DALLAS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Ok people I know you dont expect much from Ashanti but common that was not so good, and very shaky at the beginning.
Oh and cute outfit. But the performance wasn’t BANANAS LOL. She’s doing better though. I think real R&B with Ballads is comming back…….hopefully!!!!
GO DALLAS!!! Okay, that’s it lol
Damn forget the singing. Her outfit is tight and the accessories were on point.
Good job, Ashanti!!! I’m no fan, but I have to give you props on that one.
She sounded ok. A couple of not so good moments and a couple of good moments, so, its all good! She looks so young, sounding like one of those lil kids you see singing wiv the “big” voices lol! Cute outfit.
SHE LOOKED BEAUTIFUL, AND SHE SOUNDED JUST THE SAME!
She’s pretty the voice was ok.
ashanti sounds great! i am so proud to be an ashanti fan i think the haters just hate cuz they wish they were her. at the end of the day ever wonder why no won would ask ciara, rihanna, cassie to sing the national anthem cuz they can’t . ashanti has come a long way. give props when props are due. i am sure that none of the haters could sing the national anthem live in front of millions.
Ylper, again,you’re an idiot and your stupidity is glaring!!
Mary Fayke, okay, I stand corrected…we’re cyber “frenemies”:-)
I wash my hair with Creme of Nature shampoo, condition with Pantene’s Deep Fortifying conditioner and sit under my heating cap for about an hour or so. I then moisturize with shea butter and StaSofFro’s hair and scalp conditioner.
BTW,per your previous posts, of course I know how to spell “fake”…I’m a Howard grad…I just put my own twist on things.
You were surprised? Hm… I was not.
Meh. She faded out at the end of every line and tried make up for it with a little caterwauling. Average at best.
Oh my….Ashanti sounded great. Lawd, the girl even did some Mariah riffs. And the outfit is awesome. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ashanti actually can sing & has got pretty good range. I think Irv stifled her capabilities for so that she’d have pop appeal.
DAMN, some of ya’ll call that singing, LOL
ashitty will always just be that, she lucked up when she 1st hit the scene and wasnt nobody really making ne noise with music. as another poster said she better stick with nelly, well shit his new song is ass as ever also, LOL
oh well she better stick to acting then, LOL
she did alright…but as far an artist that can really sing ..i think not. For it to be the biggest game on Thanksgiving Day that everyone would see… i think they could have gotten someone better that can really sing….beyonce, christina, faith hill, alicia keys etc.
Go sexy Shanti!!!!
She didn’t sound like a professional “singer”. She is an entertainer, at best. I know regular girls who sing the anthem just as well. Anyway, go Ashanti you did YOUR thing.
At least she’s singing to sell out crowds. Poor Kelly can’t even get a National Anthem gig to showcase her talents, and the whole “complimentary” ticket crap……..how sad.
She sounded awful. The composer of our National Anthem, Francis Scott Key, is turning over in his grave.
damn girl, you actually sound pretty good.
She sounded awsomme! go ashanti!
Good job Ashanti! We miss you!
She did not sound good at all. She needs to stick to hook singing. And that is TRUTH!!!!! Not good.
She did pretty good. She was nervous.
wow, are we all watching the same video? she sounded like a little kid who wants to be singer when they grow up not someone who already is. guess sleeping w/ Irv Gotti and whoever else can only get her so far…and yes she was sleeping with Irv. if not then how come she never denied it after he insinuated it on the Wendy William’s show? Stans jump up to get beat down.
I’ve said it before, but it wouldn’t hurt to say it again:
GO DALLAS!!!! GO DALLAS!!!!
I love my city!!!!!!
As far as Ashanti, uuummmmmm………
She didn’t sound too bad, she’s not the best singer but not the worst. It almost sounds forced; her voice is best for hooks and soft sounds, not ballads. But that’s my girl. So cute.
um, no…i couldn’t even make it thru the whole thing. it sounded like she was struggling. she needs to go back to whisper singing.
What a lovely surprise. She actually dd sound ‘decent’. She wasn’t shouting, she wasn’t screaming. Hell, normally, when it gets to the part ‘Lad of the free, home of the brave’ us non-Americans will be rolling our eyes but girl had me singing too. Good job, Ashanti.
OH PLEASE THIS GIRL IS SOOO BORING AND SHE CAN’T EVEN SING…SHE NEEDS SO SIT DOWN AND LET BEYONCE BE THE BEST AS SHE IS NOW!!!!
I GUESS 50 KILLED EVERYBODY’S CAREER AT MURDER INC
i hate it when they mess the end of “brave” up.
I just want to say that I hope that Ashanti doesn’t say everything is “Bananas” still cause one of my ex’s used to say that shiit all the time — just like her and I would have to give him a sour look each time because he sounded so fuccn’ ridiculous just like her.
But I still like her… I hope her a JaRule make another cd together
That wasn’t bad, but it sure as hell wasn’t worth that wack ass intro (’multi platinum author’ — what the hell is that?) the announcer gave her. She can’t hold a note worth a damn.
And yes, I’m still bitter about how she ‘beat’ the much more talented Tweet, because her team sold her CD for 7bucks. She doesn’t sound bad here, but she’s definitely a product of the studio and wig crypt.
i think she was good….give her a break..for pete’s sake…
everybody knows the only female artist that bossip likes 4 now is alicia keys & rihanna and rihanna can’t even sing. she is a pretty girl but she is not a strong singer and even she doesn’t get this much hate on bossip.
and everyboy knows bossip hates beyonce—she could give up a kidney & they’d have problems with her.
lol she must have rehearse 100000 times to make sure she dont fuck up that one.
People love to hate on other people. Get a life people. The truth is that she is no Beyonce, but the girl can still sing well. I think that overall she did great.
Ashanti is a cute girl and a fantastic singer!
it’s murda 4 life niggaz
Thomas Jones looking all hype to LOSE!!! Love his sexy ass though…
Ashanti did great…I always knew the girl could sing but couldn’t respect her b/c she never sang live!!!!
Did u all know Julius Jones in expecting? This month!
she is cute and a great singer…but that outfit is B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
The video wouldn’t load, damn but I think the quality of her singing voice changed after she had that car accident before she got famous, If anyone has seen “Driven” on VH1 they had early clips of her singing and she sounded WAY better than she does now. She had a car crash in ATL I think it was and the steering wheel crushed her chest..something like that. I have to watch it again if I can catch it.
kitten
expecting what?? with who??
Please…do tell………………..
LOL WITH A GIRLFRIEND FROM COLLEGE….HIS FAM JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT 3 WEEKS AGO….IT’S A GIRL.
oh ok…I hadn’t heard & I live in Dallas!!
he is a chocolatey cutie tho……
thanx for the “exclusive” 411 kitten…(you must be close to the fam or somethin’)
Stop hating….THE PRINCESS IS BACK….WHY YA’LL ACTING SURPRISED SHE ISN’T THE PRINCESS OF hip-hop &r&b for nothing SO GET OVER IT SHE DID THE DAMN THANG ACCEPT IT AND GO LISTEN TO UR LITTLE BEYONCE CD.
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM IT IS GOING TO BE BANANAS!!!!!LOL
He is even sexier in person. Yeah I know them all very well! You’ll hear soon I promise.
hey kitten…
got any “scoop” on Marion Barber??
kitten
or Akin Ayodele or Terence Newman????
…look @ me coming to you for all the Cowboys scoop like you’re my “pusher man” woman
lol no, just the jones boys. Dont know any of the rest of them….sorry.
I think she did a good job. She sounded way better than that tired Kelly Clarkson. I don’t hear anyone rating that so-called performance. Once again, blacks hatin’ on blacks. We are our own worst enemy.
DAMN IT!! so much for wishful thinkin’…
well, thanks anyway kitten!!
…but I do have on more question, are Thomas & Meagan really together or is that just for publicity??
**i am impressed! for the longest time i thought the chick could not sing…she actually did a really good job; although, i have always given her more credit than Kelly Rowland…now she needs help!
For once stop hatting on someone where credit is due. At least she is doing something positive. We as people always got something negative to say about someone. When the tables are turned around you should look at yourself and say, Wow Karma is no joke. As for Ashanti, You sounded very well and for you not to have any music. I applaud you.
i could’ve did that myself
im surprised!wow!!
