so happy for ja rule and Ashanti finally getting the recognition they deserve. the fact that they don't need to lip synch their music and they use their real voices is incredible true talent at its best!!!

Ja Rule and Ashanti’s performance made me proud to be a New Yorker! And Their winter fashion was “on point.”

Yoo Ja Rule hasn't lost his voice one bit and sounds great live. Same goes for Ashanti of course

Their music still hits the same way it did back then. Love it! Ashanti’s hat & coat are absolutely beautiful.

Ashanti and Ja Rule we're last minute additions to NEW YEARS ROCKING EVE, and they still killed it!!! Those two are like hip hop/ r and b superheroes. JA RULE and ASHANTI saved the New York portion of the NYE celebration, because LL Cool J was supposed to headline, but he caught COVID and had to cancel, as well as two other acts, so shouts out to JA RULE and ASHANTI for saving the night in NYC.🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑 HAPPY NEW YEARS, Everyone!!!! 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🤩😍🎉

JA-RULE JUST DON'T MISS A BEAT... SAME ENERGY SAME AS HE WAS IN THE 90's

I started screaming when Ja Rule and Ashanti came on! It took me back to being a kid in the early 2000s, when times were simple.. 💛 Such TIMELESS hits, music is not like this anymore. *Happy New Year*

Took me back to 2003! Those were the best days to club and go dancing! It will never be like that again…

She sounds good and on point like she has been doing this a long time

Good to see Ja Rule back in the spotlight. This is a classic.

Nostalgia, they both sound great

This took me back to middle school. Best part of the show if you ask me! I still jam to these songs.

Ashanti looks so cute & Ja Rule looks and sounds the same 20 years later

Jarule and Ashanti should just release a new cd together in 2022. Would be a good look

She sings so good and is so confident...GO QUEEN 💗✨

Her live vocals are so good they sound like pre-recorded but I know they're not. I've seen so many stories about how perfect her vocals are and how other artists *cough JLo would use her vocals for their own hits and fake like they were the ones singing. Hope she's fabulously wealthy after all she's done.

I was 14 years old when this song came out, soo many memories I’m proud to say we had real talents to look up to and were a part of a positive era. I’m sad to say but I cannot say the same for the youth of today with all they talk about is twerk, they don’t have much artists like we had in our day. Love you Ashanti and Ja forever 🤍

That could come out right now and it would be top of the charts. Goosebumps listing to this again. That’s how good it was. Dam almost what 15 years later and it still sounds like a top song out today.

I got goosebumps when they started singing 👀👏👏👏 their voices brought back memories of such good times when I was younger #nostalgia ❤️

2 Amazing artists 2 New Yorkers 2 decades later performing their timeless hits. STILL I love it. Im glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve. Murder Inc really gave the world some Classic Hits!

Ja-rules voice is still the same,,,,,and Ashanti I love them

Big Up to Ashanti and Ja Rule for stepping in and stepping up to save the day (okay night). It could've gone the way of Mariah's NYE sound snafu but they brang it the fashion, the songs the chemistry. Great job guys.

Hearing Ja's voice together again & both their voices together ❤ all the feels. The nostalgia, we need an album! 👏

Can't say enough about these 2! They are my favorites 20+ years in the game and I swear it's like it's 2002 and not 2022 yall get all the flowers from me and more you both deserve all your flowers🌹🌹and can we just give it up for Shani and her stylist...What?! She be dressed to the gawds🙌🏾 my body and style inspiration for 2022❤

Ashanti and Ja Rule hasn’t losing their voices while performing live together!

DAYMMMMMM!! Ja never left the top spot & Ashanti....... Omg just mesmerising like back in day ❤️ PLEASE release an album of proper old school R&B with these 2 singing now - I need those vibes back

This takes me back to my childhood in the 2000s.

Ja and Bonnie looking like MONEY and Shan’s voice has just gotten so much better with time. Still sweet, but she has so much more confidence. We need a Murder Inc. Tour with them as the headliners in 2022. Both legends!!!

Still the greatest hits of all time

Ashanti and Ja Rule always meet and surpass the expectations.

Ashanti lookin like a Winter Wonderland Mami! 😍 Just GORGEOUS!! She is rocking her 40s..I love it, she's killing 'em! 💝💝💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘

I have a feeling there coming back and going to make new music 🔥

The fact that they performed this song almost 20 years ago for new years of 2002-03 😭🥰

They both look amazing and this bring me back to 20 years ago to the early 2000's. Happy New Year ya'll!!

The love is REAL between these 2. So glad they stayed friends regardless of all the BS they were throwing Ja's way few years back. And their music always hits then and now ❤💕❤

Love that it was live! Love how they performed the entire songsssss

The Audio Quality is amazing. Half the time the audio is trash at live events. So crisp, shout out to the AV team. Made the event that more special to hear the actual vocals.

No lip sync nothing !!!!! Pure talentttttt !

This was so good! I really enjoyed this performance. They both sounded so good and you can tell how much Ashanti enjoyed the moment. It was awesome! Such an old skool gem! Happy New Year!!

Ashanti and Ja Rule 🥰 rule the world in from 2001 to 2008

Shout out to the golden era of hip hop and rnb!! What a great time to be alive. Ashanti vocals has definitely matured over the years. And neither have aged at all.

It feels good seeing them perform. Especially everything that’s going on in NY and around the world with Covid.

This was definitely a treat I’m glad too see them still performing

Ashanti is everything. She's always been hit or miss with her fashions... this is definitely a hit! She looks beautiful as always... never ugly. Just some not hot like that half white half sequenced maroon number she wore at the BET Honors. Nope! Happy New Years lovelies! Don't forget to re-cop her album(s) when she re-records them this year.

The best performance compared to other artists. They truly love their audience and their own songs 🎵 the duo gave it their all in a brief performance, soo great to see !

Ashanti sounded good and smooth in this performance.

mesmerize is such a banger man. love the back and forth between ja rule and ashanti... amazing flow

So happy for my favorite artist of ALL TIME Ashanti still doing her thing years later. I was a huge fan at 12yrs old and here I am at 29 still fanning out 🥴😄🤷🏾‍♀️ looking forward for what the years to come has in store for the Princess of Hip-Hop and R&B

JaRule & Ashanti did they thang…. Love it 👏🏾🎉🥳❤️💐🙏🏾🎆

One of the best performance I enjoyed that night.

Ja is one of few rappers that sounds amazing live!! He absolutely needs no autotune. Ashanti, we miss your R&B, you absolutely ROCKED early 00’s. Her vocals are spotless as before. Wish you could come out equally big as back then!! I miss Murder inc, they were HUGE man! They absolutely rocked 00s and they always will be remembered cause that music is timeless! Love forever and ever!!!!! ❣️

I don’t care what no one says Ashanti loves her some Ja Rule. She is so happy when she is with him. They look good.

Ashanti is a perfectionist I love her. Ja Rule I appreciate your masculine energy.

I love her laugh. It’s just so angelic just like her voice.

I just love Ashanti laugh and when she be like aha 🥳🙏🏾💐🎆

Love these two some of the best cloberations made in history💙💙💙💙💙

This to me was the best part of the show. Love these two singing together. Ashanti looked better than she did when she was a younger self, and Ja Rule, boy didn't he look fabulous! Then I felt asleep, woke up at 12:12 am, smh.

Ok! Ashanti on the liiive vocals 😍, and Ja Rules stamina is refreshing! ✨

I miss those songs as a kid good times, great work Ja rule and Ashanti.

It’s good to see these two performing together again.

Their voices is like a fine wine... I missed this kind of song.. remember listening this song everytime I tune in radio. Ashanti and Ja Rule. Thank you! Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉

Mesmerize is an all time track

My favorite two people on a song 😭😭😭

Just think they are in their 40’s looking so good!! Sound good!!! Wonderful!!

Wow! Cheers to being 12 years old when this banger was released … fast forward to nearly 20 years later 😫😊

The music still relevant today. The sound is very much current.

They're so positive & iconic! 50 cent could NEVER!

Loves these two, they have great chemistry when they sing together

Just good feeling music bro. Rap doesn't have to be kill this body that.

I love these two collaborations. Them songs will never get old. "Mesmerized and Always on time!"

They were the best collab, when I was just a kid. Now I'm almost 40.

They must have performed this like a million times but it still hits every time man. I allways wondered if they ever hooked up as well like these two would make an awesome couple

she sounds amazing!

Both of your voices sound incredible. Loved the vibe and Ashanti is beautiful as always. Ja and Ashanti stay stylish. We will always love you two! I enjoyed it yes!!!

How’d I miss this performance? 😩😩 Such a nostalgic moment. They had hit song after hit song blowing up the radio. They had a 2-4 year run of hits.

Fresh start to the new year’s 😇 this generation will never understand 😎😎💪🏽

I miss the 90’s-2000’s… music and nostalgia just don’t hit the same anymore outside those eras

Ashanti and Jah killed the performance and the fashion this type of music all day everyday for me looooovvvvveeee iiiitttt!!!!!
