openentrance – What's Really Going OnWhat's Really Going On

Ashanti has just landed a gig as a tourism chief in NY. As an ambassador of Nassau County, she was given an orange blazer with a tourism patch by County Executive Thomas Suozzi at a news conference at the Rockefeller Centre in Manhattan on Tuesday. The tourism campaign pitches Nassau as  ”The Island Next Door.” In an interview, Ashanti says, “It is amazing to be asked to give something back to the community.”

What she needs to do is give up that blazer and sport one them sexy dresses she is always caught in. I will buy a couple of whatever she selling, pitching, renting, borrowing, holdin’, etc-Nassau here I come!!!

 Ashanti is joined by her mother and sister on the latest cover of Sister 2 Sister magazine. I didn’t even dig to see what the article is about because I was more excited that she did not let her sister wear this outfit for the photo shoot or this one.

Ashanti Video: The Way I Love You.

Ashanti released her new video last for “The Way That I Love You.” Just the average kind of song, that will get overplayed on the radio. It is a song with the exact story line we have heard so many times. Her songs used to be more original.

What I really find interesting is how the videos are scaling back. It used to be the big video productions with tons of props and editing. Since albums are not selling like they used to, the cut backs are obvious. This video could have been made with a quality camera bought at a Christmas special. There was not much editing with the video because the pics of her filming the video just came out last Friday. It won’t be long before all videos look like the Tone Loc “Wild Thang” video again.
