I finally listened to Ja Rule's "Wonderful" tonight. Strong chance of making my 10 Worst Songs Of The Year, even though R. Kelly's Stevie Wonder impersonation is going great. But my question is why Ashanti warrants a credit for singing a total of 6 words (echoing them, in fact) on the hook. Has anyone ever gotten a duet credit with less input? I thought things had bottomed out with Shawnna's minimal contribution to Luda's "Stand Up," but clearly not.

Why is Ashanti getting credit on
anything? There's your question, big man.

Hey, so "Wonderful" sucks -- Ashanti gets the credit for working extra hard on looking fine in the video. Granted, Ja's cigar could get equal credit.
On the other hand, the new Ashanti song "Only U" is SO great! I'm not playin'! But don't take my word for it...

Seriously, consensus is totally that "Only U" is of the chain and have meaning. Can't wait to hear the instrumental!

Only heard it once but I'm not feeling that new Ashanti song. Maybe its because of her previous work, but I feel like aggressiveness isn't her forte.

Anthony's got it. She's so much better when she's doing her soft, lulling seductive thing. "Foolish" and "Rock Wit U (Awwww Baby)" are really where it's at.

I agree, and those songs are awful.

I'm not so much a fan of Ashanti the croonaire, so maybe I like the new one 'cause she's less noticable on it.
