ashanti-rain on me live

performin rain on me at the american awards

[@MariahWyattBraxton]

I'm surprised Ashanti could breathe at all with all of that water. The creative director did too much. The song is called Rain on Me, not Tornado On Me.

[@jamar19852003]

Mariah Braxton lmao @ tornado on me

[@jakemiles1427]

Mariah Braxton but it didn't start coming down until the end, it was a gradual build up

[@stephanie9027]

Yeah she was definitely struggling with all that water being dumped on her lol

[@EmissaryOfSmeagol]

MAELSTROM ON MEEEE

[@rolethaalston355]

they almost drowned her

[@michellebroderick3055]

Love the message of the song “stop domestic violence “ this song really helped me leave a relationship filled with the pain she highlights in her video. Thank you Ashanti

[@domitrae1]

#TeamAshanti Since 2002-2014 Still A big Fan!!! 2002-2005 she was young she still needed much work but she still delivered and sold out shows and broke billboards Records say what y'all want but she gots it..... 2014 Brave heart album if ya haven't got it get it, the album is hot... Ashanti is independent now doing it everything herself

[@kiaralovecarter]

I didn’t even feel like this was a song that required a dance routine/choreography. We all know Ashanti can sing her ass off but I don’t think they should’ve had her moving all around especially to a song that really requires vocal technique like this one and that’s why she sounded so off key. They coulda still had the stage like a storm but just had her in a beautiful dress singing at a mic stand.

[@itsmartharaye]

i love ashanti. I mean shes the only modern artist i know that can pull out that old school jazz feel to her music. No artist can pull that off for me.

The water messing the video up lol

I wish Ashanti would get her career back on track.... Her live singing has dramatically improved since then. She is so much better now. I would love for her to come back with the right support to be on top again.

[@justinac9300]

She looks like Beyonce from 2003 bet awards when she did crazy in love

[@MariahWyattBraxton]

They looked so similar during that era.

[@DetroitRed03]

The outfit too

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

"With 9 top ten hits in the last two years, She's the newest Queen of R&B" she shouldn't have let that introduction introduction fade away! she was on fire! She waiting 4 long years after 2004 to release "The Declaration"

No, she came out with "Concrete Rose" in 2004.

Her feminine voice is clear & original

[@laamstar]

Nice performance and nice voice , she has improved a lot , coz she used to do poor live. You go gal!!!

[@Trishaa09]

... I thought she sounded decent enough. A little bad notes here and there but it wasn't that bad.

[@Spyder246]

its a dramatic song about domestic violence. What u wanted them to be out their seats in the aisle bent over shaking their asses? you people r a trip. Ashanti did a good job. An improvement from 02 to 03 vocally and performance wise and she has gotten MUCH better since this.

[@Naam19]

She is soooo sweet.

[@jordanwalker6633]

i love ashanti but this performance was awful,but again we all have our days

[@jaydamayy7565]

Oh plz

[@TXejas19]

Way to much going on. Rain, thunder, lightening, fiery explosions, dancing, singing

[@domitrae1]

Beautiful performance vocals on point as of 2013 she would relly kill it more

[@temperbrat]

yea i remember in an interview she said dat they nearly drowned her with all that water cuz it was suppose to be a little lighter than how it came out onstage

[@bcblls]

she sings beautiful LIVE! i miss her! can wait for her new album!

[@agneselliott8092]

Beautiful music 😍

[@mmhnma]

I remember watching this thinking why they got my girl drowning like that. She could have just sang this, no dancing and had rain falling the background not on her.

[@imtheterminata]

The tree was the best part lmfao ijs

[@Bonnietypebeat]

i miss ashanti

[@AmourJordan]

she didn’t do SUPER bad. it was an ok performance

[@LarryDWilmore79]

I really thought Ashanti was gonna be da new Toni Braxton an' I believe she would've been a more success if people weren't so scared da girl was tryna be an Aliyah (I just didn't see it) when I truly believed Ciara was tryin' to.

[@khristinalevins3462]

She did that

[@guilsonmasse8344]

She don't have star quality, performing is not her thing but she got good songs

[@xHuntedGunzPCGx]

They were going for more of an exotic look...

She wasn't that bad, and she's really improved. She's better than half of the talent thats out right now like Cassie, Ciara, and Rihanna.

[@farrahbluestone2455]

I love her and her music, just don't love how she can't stay on key to save her life. Only true musicians with trained ears know what I am talking about, that was painful to listen to.

[@BRITTWOODNESHIE]

I think she did a good job.

[@MrDaffyman]

kinda messed up that murda inc. had destroyed her career. she is nowhere near the streets and def jam should of bail her out so she would be able to say her career.

[@misstiquewoman777]

@PrettynBrwn89 totally agree !!! TOTALLY !! RnB seems 2 hve died and she always sticks to the style she does best no matter what everyone else is doing ..... Ratings Ashanti x

[@davonmcdonald1984]

This looks like these tik tok dances

[@star2me]

I love this song! I hope she starts coming out with more songs.. Although I agree, she shouldn't wear something so skimpy when singing this song, it'd make more of an effect if she wore a longer dress.

[@lovemoonlightx]

i love this,please don't take this off

[@craziestbxboy]

nice performance never saw this to bad the video quality is a little messed up.

[@vicketea]

shes not even bad and plus peoples vocal cords get exhausted sometimes and cause them to not perform to their fullest potential. it doesn't mean she's a bad singer at all. she's had a lot of great performances in the past and after this one. just because she didn't do her best doesn't mean that she sucks. mad judgemental and people don't even know their facts. the best performers even have mediocre performances sometimes. it just happens. i'd like to see someone else try n sing this song good.

she shoulda showed more emotion it was too much going on

[@mylifemzgoddezz6792]

The song creeps me out now that I know she was talking about Irv the whole time. The creepy laugh in the beginning was him 😳. Pretty sure he facilitated that ridiculous amount of “rain” that fell in her face. The end says stop domestic violence. Irv was probably abusive towards her seeing as though his very disturbing behavior towards her now. I like Ashanti though awesome production and writing.

@Popoff22: THERE'S NOTHING TO HATE. It's just that if ASHANTI is gonna be compared to someone, it should be a Talented Choice... not someone of lesser or equal status. (Wearing Fake hair, Bleaching her already light skin and Gyrating across a stage doesn't make someone(Beyonce) a HUGE TALENT. Just a Great Act.
