Ashanti Sings "I Have Nothing" & "I Will Always Love You" (Tribute to Whitney Houston) 

that moment when you feel like you never really knew someone could sing until they sing a Whitney Houston song

She was paying respect to her idol. Please leave her alone. She's actually done a terrific job honoring her idol.

Well damn...... I'm thoroughly impressed!!!! Back in the day everybody swore she couldn't sing if that's not proof I don't know what is!!!!

Such a shame that incredible singers like this don’t get to showcase their vocal range these days. Epic performance I wish she’d do more

Her tone and power are perfection!

She sang that beautifully

She did and excellent job on these songs! I had no idea Ashanti had that voice. Beautiful tribute.

Go head Shanti! I use to think she couldnt hit those high notes but they were just giving her those bubble gum pop songs to sing. I loved this, it really shows her vocal range.

Ashanti is an amazing singer when she wants to. If you look up other live performances it seems she rushes but here she took her time and sounded amazing. Maybe she should try that more often.

Go Ashanti!!!! She did an AMAZING job!!!!!!! A great tribute to Whitney Houston!!!!!

You haters are ridiculous, Ashanti's paying homage to Whitney Houston, she's not trying to compete with Whitney Houston, she's singing the song as a tribute and to pay homage. Ashanti's voice sounds good! She did a good job covering the song, obviously not better than Whitney, because NO ONE can touch the originals! A lot of you so called Whitney 'fans' are going into Monica, Alicia, Ashanti, J-Huds tribute videos and bashing them, stop it! RIP Whitney Houston!

Damn Ashanti! I was already a fan but u just blew my mind. One of the best renditions I've heard. Wow! Love u!

Absolutely right you are! Ashanti is and has always been a powerful singer...she's angelic with an edge! Good to see her showcasing her talents here again...reminds us of how awesome she is!

OMGGGG I never seen this til now!!! Whitney would be so so proud of you girl you slayed!!! That was incredible!

I love Ashanti so much I wish she was still making music today

I've aways loved Ashanti, but I didn't think she had much of a voice, more of a pleasant tone. This performance however showcased her true vocal gift! And remember she doesn't sing on top of her lunges every day! This is just off the chains amazing, nobody can hate on her now! All these years she's been around for a reason!

omfg I cant believe I jus heard this from ashanti I jus cryedddd she killed it I can say she one of the best singers in the game now her power is so much better then when she was wid MURDER INK

People kept throwing negative stuff at her by not having the voice to sing a whitney Houston song. I think she nailed that tribute.....excellent Ashanti

I did not know she could sing like that. And she keeps going back to those "Only U" songs. 😭😭

she killed it!!!

Wow, most songs Ashanti did when I was growing up did not show her immense talent!

4:16 wowwwwwwwww. Best live performance ever by Ashanti

the end gave me chills! SHE DID THAT!

I NEVER KNEW ASHANTI COULD SANG LIKE THIS! YES I SAID SANG! This just proves that they was giving her bullshit with material all this time.

Ashanti saaaannnngggg her ass off on this great Job!! This is why I love and respect her u never know what she going to pull next..

She killed it. How many other artist out there would even attempt these songs? Not many. But she did and she killed it!

Damn that was really good she made it her own and she stood damn well on key in pitch and never out of tune

Ashanti killed it. Yesss honey!

How can anyone really know that Ashanti can sing and has great vocal range with songs like "Baby" and "Rock Wit You" Those are bubble gum pop songs that dont show case her vocals.

she did amazing! there's times when she's not the best live but I've always liked her and supported her. She definitely made me proud. WOOT!!! Good job! =]

She's so beautiful 😍 the. Most beautiful woman in the industry

Not surprised at all! Great Job!

Man I love Ashanti she is amazing. And I'm telling yall, I like how she sounded just like Whitney when she hit that note on 3:52-3:54 GET IT GIRL! YOU BETTER SING THAT SONG!

I love Ashanti. Not only is she beautiful and a talent, but she has an amazing spirit. If I can find a woman like that in my life, I'd be extremely happy.

Damn who knee Ashanti could SANG like this

Her passion and vocals give me goosebumps, she did that for Whitney H.

She is amazinggggggggggg and she is awesome i hope she have a come back so everyone will trimble

Ashanti voice is amazing crystal clear. You have to have guts to even attempt that song. Rip. Whitney

She is the only singer who actually is able to cover this songs. didn't thought I'd ever find a good cover

wow I didnt know she had it in her! dang pretty good !all that time she was singing those lollipop songs when she can really belt it out omg.excellent job

I am blown away what a great performance...SHE DID THAT !!

The Queen of R&B! Please, come back and get your Throne again ❤

i hate that whenever anyone tributes Whitney Houston everyone always hate on the singer for not having the same voice, well ofcourse they dont very few people do! But u guys have to recognize all the variety of vocals she put into it and it was everything but monotonous so enjoy and appreciate Ashanti's amazing voice! lov u Ashanti!! :)

Just seen this... Ashanti unbelievable this is impressive ...

i love ashanti!! she shocked me at the end though!! glad she is strengthening her voice and it sounds great!! most professional singers have some sort of training:)

No where even close the amazing voice of Whitney Houston.

You did great..that is my favorite Whitney song..She would be proud.

If your not a performer you wouldn't understand how hard it is to sing/perform when your sad, crying, or anything else, S/O to Ashanti

Proud of her for this one. lots of ppl say she can't sing but whatever shes getting paid and some of them aren't. Good cover Shanti!

I love this performing she made me cry aww

Never underestimate how much emotion one can pour into a performance if they don't have shoe

so true. We need more artists that sings beautiful ballads like the old days. Poetic songs.

i been listenin 2 Ashanti for years n i NEVER knew she could sing lyk this

wait I have always live Ashanti but girl you can really sing

I ♥️ Ashanti

That high note loved it I knew she can do it

Pitch is in and out. But considering she’s singing a Whitney song is not easy task. She sounded amazing
