: MediaTakeOut.com caught wind last week of a rumor among industry insiders that FERGIE from the Black Eyed Peas would be LEAVING the group . .. and being replaced by ANOTHER female singer.
Well now MediaTakeOut.com just spoke with a TOP music industry exec who told us that the group is IN THE WORKS of replacing Fergie, with R&B singer ASHANTI!!!
The insider, who asked to remain anonymous told MediaTakeOut.com, "The group had been looking for a replacement for some time." Ashanti was reportedly brought onto the group's WORLD TOUR - as sort of an AUDITION, to see if she could work with the band - and it worked out PERFECTLY!!
Ashanti and The Black Eyed Peas have been ON TOUR together for nearly a month.
So when can we expect an OFFICIAL announcement? Well, a little birdie tells us that they haven't yet DOTTED the I's and CROSSED the T's yet, legally. But we can expect one in the next few days.
Oh . . . and to those that think that this CAN'T HAPPEN. Black Eyed Peas member Taboo announced earlier this week that as of Nov 23rd (the group's last OFFICIAL tour date) Fergie is taking an INDEFINITE LEAVE. Taboo told the newspaper The New Times. "We have to respect Ferg. Ferg is our sister. She definitely wants to have a family, and we're happy for her."
CONGRATS ASHANTI!!!

I DON'T KNOW I THINK ASHANTI SHOULD REMAIN A SOLO ARTIST , IT WILL WORK BEST THAT WAY AND TO HER BENEFIT , TELL THEM TO RECRUIT CASSIE OR AMERIE , THESE TWO CHOICES NEEDS ASSISTANCE OR SOME SOURCE OF BACKUP , BUT ASHANTI DOESN'T OR , IS BEST SOLO, JUST MY THOUGHTS LOL.

You have got to be effing kidding me right now. Hahahahaha what a joke! Ashanti come on let's be real. Ashanti replacing fergie? No offense to her but come on. That's like Beyonce being replaced with the likes of Ameriie or Mariah Carey being replaced with......anybody that is not on her same vocal level. All these ladies Ientioned are great but there are stronger vocals than other and fergie was a huge presence both in group and off and they think they want Ashanti who hasn't did anything musically in years and whose image is slightly hood and vocally can't compete? It's almost an insult to her. Yikes

I can't see Ashanti doing those W.P./POP songs, they should get someone like KATY PERRY,JESSIE J. LILLY ALLEN, or even NATASHA BEDINGFIELD, I would say the former PCD member, but that won't work either, if ashanti can come out w/ a house type hit, then maybe, but she mainly R&B......she should stick to it!!!!

Ashanti is as cute as the day is long but she doesn't seem to be the best candidate for such a move....despite Fergie's past issues, one thing for sure, is the girl can blow. I'll believe this when I see it.

Ashanti has a nice voice. She isn't Patti LaBelle, but she is more than Kim K, or Kim Zolczak. Murder Inc didn't showcase the best of Ashanti. Look up clips of her before she was famous. Especially Ain't a Melody. I think this "rumor" is bull, but then again, all the Ashanti hate. She doesn't REQUIRE autotune. Next to Mariah, Celine, Anita Baker, Shanice and the like I can understand some of the comments. But when you look at the "talent" of the majority of today's industry.......SPARE ME!

When has ashanti been a "Top R&B Singer" I remember back in 03 maybe it was 02' can't recollect which exact year right now, but she had her debut album out which was just about a bunch of M.J. & DEbarge samples, so are you guys @ MTO talking about that time o_O?!

I would've thought Nicole Scherzinger. But Ashanti? Helllll Noooooo! She's not a dancy-energetic- type artist. Hell, she's not even a real performer. She stands still & is STILL pitchy! Or she does her infamous one-two moves she been doing since she came out...womp womp!!!

Go BEP's!!! This is exactly what we need, millionaires extending a hand to the unemployed...lol. Ashanti should have made it official with Nelly's unfaithful ass years ago, at least she's got a chance at a career now. She's not the greatest singer, but with Will.I.Am's tracks, a vocorder, and synthesizer she'll do just as well as Fergie if not moreso with her "street cred", she'll probably do very well actually.

The First person that came to my mind was Pink!! I dont think Ashanti is right for the group she has a voice for R&B.Fergie is a versatile artist and thats the kind of artist black eye peas need.Somebody like Pink,Nelly Furtado or Gwen Stanfoni.I don't think Ashanti is right for the group.
