Music Fab: Ashanti, Usher, Micheal Jackson, & Michelle Williams

Jun 04 | by Natasha

Ashanti rang the NYSE Opening Bell today to celebrate Black Music Month and her album dropping today:

She looked cute in her one shoulder YSL dress. Smokey Robinson and Wendy Williams were there as well. And speaking of Ashanti, here's a snippet of her ITUNES bonus track called "Why":

More music news when you read the rest...

An Usher track has leaked that he left off Here I Stand. It features Michael Jackson, R. Lovette, and T-Pain. Here's ~~a snippet~~ the full version: [audio:urshstop.mp3] So was that MJ singing the first verse? Or was it T-Pain? Either way...some things have clearly changed. Check out Michelle's new promo pic:

Hot.

Ashanti is looking pretty fab! I love that dress and the hair! But I know I've seen Wendy wearing that dress before in some other picture. Yawn @ Usher. Keep it up Michelle, I'm almost, vaguely, barely interested.

Ashanti's baby face is so

Ashanti's baby face is so what I want! She has the image that no one can really hate her just by her face. her dark hair, low key make up and ysl dress are one of the most fab ensemble she threw on so far. I still gots lotta love for Usher starting from his debut. So glad that he isn't wit that so much older woman. Tamika looked like his aunt. He deserved so much better. Even Chilly wasn't that much for him. I'm sure both Usher and Ashanti will do just as fine as they did before! Yes to both!!!

Ashanti’s look is polished

Ashanti’s look is polished and sophisticated, which is usually missing in her style. She is flawless this time minus the over-the-top lashes.

Ashanti looks fly. Makeup and all.. I just started doing the fake eyelashes thing (I always thought it was just so fake) and i'm addicted I love them. They make your eyes just pop. Her lipcolor is not something i would normally wear but we're the same complexion and i think im going to try it now. gotta change it up a bit you know!

Michelle was under no shadow.

Michelle was under no shadow. She has her own fan base...although I do not belong to it. Her voice just doesn't do it for me, but maybe it's an acquired taste. Ashanti does look fab...especially without the streaks!

Luv Ashanti's dress, but the shoes, not so much. Maybe she should hire Christina Milian as a shoe consultant. Ha, Ha And Wendy Williams is having way too much fun. Usher is jumping for joy over those divorce papers, huh. Regarding why MJ is a Big Deal. Hmm...maybe it has something to do with having the all-time best selling album, Thriller (68 million units sold) Michelle Williams is stepping up her Hot Chic Game sho nuf! Luv it!!! Mmm...thats Hot!

Is no one else concerned that

Is no one else concerned that Michelle did gospel albums and professed her love for the Lord - now she's smutting it up all half-dressed? I guess the Lord doesn't pay as much as R&B.

No that wasn't MJ, I think he

No that wasn't MJ, I think he comes in in that big break in vocals. I don't think MJ flaked out I just think Usher was smart and kept the vocals, so if someone did leak it they wouldn't have the complete version. And this song has been mentioned before, I've known about it since before usher released his album

To those fools asking WHY MJ

To those fools asking WHY MJ is a big deal, i feel sorry for you all because you all are obviously deprived of a sense of musical/showman standard. I'm not even going to defend MJ cause you just need to look at his work. How old are you 10? And that WAS NOT MJ in no way!!! He doesn't sound like that on his worst day's lol And I guess Stevie Wonder is other too since you said he doesn't work with black ppl and boyz II men and Mariah and etc aren't black either.

I guess the Lord doesn't pay as much as R&B.[/quote] Some of the greats did gospel albums. And did we forget that bey was a church gurl and all....atleast in the beginning. And why should anybody else be concerened. Her relationship w/ the lord is personal. goes the same for anybody else. So no, no one else is concerned cuz its HER relationship, so its her personal business. concerned.....for what

When Micheal Jackson was

When Micheal Jackson was still a hot commodity, he couldn't' be brothered working with ( or being seen with any black folks). Now that he's ruined his career with all sorts of perversion, NOW he's willing to "lower" himself to work with "THOSE" people.
