Chicago native Ashaki is now taking her place center stage after years of working with artists such as R. Kelly, Sparkle, Ten City and Tony Thompson and Oprah(yes that Oprah). You can also add to her list of accomplishments being selected by Kanye West to handle the choreography duties for his “Jesus Walks” video.

From comparisons to Miss Jackson and Niecy, Ashaki is poised to forge her own Something Special.

Honestly, I haven’t watched Idol since about the first season, but this looks like it was worth a peep. Janet performed “Nothing” from the Why Did I Get Married Too Motion Picture Soundtrack . She looked incredible and really got things going when she took us back to ’93, with the “Ms. Jackson, if you’r'e Nasty” Janet. Whew!

As a Christina fan, so far, her new material & direction has been disappointing at best, but here she once again shows her true talent and a voice that is undeniable. Check the clip after the jump.

In celebration of this “unofficial” holiday, I decided to share some Grown Folks love songs. Now, please understand these songs are not in any particular order nor do they encompass all I would like to share – we’d be here forever if it did. However, they’re just a few songs to make you think about the one you love or wish to be with. :) (more…)

Check out the latest from Janet and her AMA performance where she shows she’s a true professional even after all these years.
