which pop singer do you like best

Rihana, I like her new "punk" aesthetic, but is Ashanti a pop star ?

hell no..Rhianna takes a bit more risks with her tunes and videos. ashanti plays it safe and lets everybody run the way she looks and sings....both of their voices arent strong and they dont have any real church vox but Rhianna at least can easily cross over and back without a problem.

probably ashanti, but that ain't sayin' shit against ree-ree

I don't like both that much but i choose Rihanna. She was the only brave Black female singer to break the Beyonce Mold and I give her a Highfive.

Actually i will probably have more value for Rihanna when i see how she adapts to NOT being the "in thing", i have tons more respect for Ashanti as an actual artist now, because she does in fact call some shots unlike when she was a puppet like Rihanna is now

Ashanti actually writes her own music, so I'm going to have to go with her because neither one of them is vocally amazing. Plus, Ashanti got Nelly to finally fix his teeth, so plus points just for that.

This is my favorite song from her:

True, but he's still a hottie (that body ), except now his grill is fixed. RiRi is cute, but she's more a Britney clone...more image, less actual substance and hardcore talent, but I've heard that was who she was actually meant to compete with.

Ashanti who?

and hers too, for that matter

Neither.

..ok now that i think about it...Baby..Baby..Baby..is the ONLY song i like from Ashanti..(and that her name starts with the letter A)....Rhianna..i'm sorry i don't like her style of singing....i can't sing myself..but i have a music-ear..and well Ashanti's voice is Sexier 2 me..especially Baby..Baby..Baby!!..
...where is my copped and screwed version??....can't find it!!...anyways in that version....Ashanti's voice is distored so badd..she sounds like a man..kinda like what prince sounded like in the Rainbow Children album....

Ohhhhh Baybay.....Rihanna by a mile.

I like a few Ashanti songs (Rain On Me, Happy, Baby, Only You), but prefer Rihanna overall. Her style and music is better and more interesting overall.

Rihanna. No competition, IMAO...
