Printablelastdecember said: thesexofit said: I think its quite pleasant and cute. Its pretty teenibopper stuff though, so why slag her off when the song seems more for kids then adults LOL. Got that Michael Jacksonesque beatboxing LOL
Still sounds high school musical though, but I have no idea who her target audience is, and as I said, its cute enough, with the thick synths in the background, always a nice touch after that horrible Pharrel era of skeletol production techniques that sounded too much like ringtones or demo's. Its nice enough. Not bad. [Edited 4/13/08 12:59pm] The funny thing is i remember way back in the mid 80's when Debbie Gibson was breaking in, people thought she was this "mozart" because she wrote and played a keyboard and did all of this from her garage. I think had the Youtube generation existed back then alot of artists would have been ripped apart. Probably LOL. I have no idea about Cassie, but so what if she only sings and cant sing live? Who gives a shit, its pop music and as long as she remains thankful and not become big headed, then Iam fine with her only being a pretty face. I love a couple of Alyssa Milano's albums, and Milli Vanilli. Is it because of their voices or talent or songwriting? No, I just happen to like their productions and songs. | |

Cassie has what? A model's face. That's it. Every song I've heard her sing has SUCKED. What's worse, she can't even perform her sucky ass songs live! I mean, gawd-damn! How hard is it to have a wack record that ANYBODY could have done and then fuck that up? You have to really suck to suck on your own song that sucks. 
I don't know how long Fluffy's dumb ass is going to keep accepting blow jobs as collateral for her weak ass releases but I bet pretty soon the only thing that will be official about this girl is the death of her singing career. She's not qualified to be a damn roadie for a singer, much less be allowed the amount of stage time she gets. Wack ass chick.  
That's the thing about Cassie...she can't even "fake" it.There are many female artists who don't have the greatest voices (Ciara comes to mind) but they can still get on a stage and do their thing.They can make you believe they're more talented than they really are.Cassie can't even do that.Her "performances" are flat and un-convincing.She has zero stage presence and zero personality.Vanity wasn't a "real singer" by any means,but she had ALOT of personality and style.Her "nasty girl persona" of 1892/83 inspired countless other female performers.Cassie is just a pretty face with nothing else to go with it. | |

Cassie is definetly the most useless person in the music industry. She's not even comparable to Rihanna, and I'm no Rihanna fan but she at least has a unique voice and looks and catchy songs. Cassie reminds me a bit of Paris Hilton. She has no personality, nothing remotely interesting about her, just a vacant board. But even Paris has some kind of appeal with her social life. I cannot fathom how she has sold any amount of records or even has any fans. | |

lastdecember said: All im saying is i find no difference in her "suck ass" vocals live or recorded, different from Rihanna, Christina Milian etc.. and then spread that over to the wack ass rb males who are nothing more than guys that sing badly with their shirts open.
The difference is,those other female artists can actually sing.Are they great singers? Hell no,but at least they can carry a note.They are vocally convincing.Cassie is talentless. As for those R&B males...I'm assuming you're referring to guys like Omarion,Chris Brown,Usher,etc.I'm no fan of these dudes either but again,at least they can actually sing.There's some talent there,even if it's wasted on whack material. Take away Cassie's good looks and what's left?  | |

Exactly.I'm not even a big fan of Rihanna,but at least she has some talent.She can carry a tune and she has a cool image.She can get up on a stage and give a convincing performance.It's silly to compare to her an empty shell like Cassie. Cassie reminds me a bit of Paris Hilton. She has no personality, nothing remotely interesting about her, just a vacant broad. But even Paris has some kind of appeal with her social life.

Cassie is R&B's answer to Paris Hilton | |

BlaqueKnight said: lastdecember said: Wouldnt Vanity be one of them? It is planned as the first single, but its all up in the air right now, she has about 10 songs that have already been leaked out there, so with the album release planned for the summer, a first single is still not officially decided. [Edited 4/12/08 12:04pm] Are you serious? You can't even begin to compare Cassie's lame ass to Vanity. Holla at me when that lil' no-singing chick learns how to work a stage. ALL she has is looks. No singing ability, no stage presence. NONE. She shouldn't be on the stage for any other reason that to escort a real singer onto the stage at a damn awards show.. She is a marketing ploy that is coasting off her looks and that "single" is GARBAGE. She has no identity. Who the hell is Cassie? So are you assuming that Vanity got stage presence, can sing and is not a marketing ploy ??? LMAO | |

I mean she has one hit record with vanity 6, a couple of mediocre albums with motown, and a couple of low budget movies to her credit and she's got stage presence. I love nasty girl however but imo that was basically her claim to fame. Don't laugh at my funk

Vanity DID have stage presence We don't have the same definition of "stage presence"... If you think that stage presence means wearing slutty clothes, singing completely off key, and being good looking So I agree with you, she had a LOT of stage presence... BlaqueKnight said: had her own sound (learn to comprehend what you read instead of immediately paraphrasing),
Their own sound ? You mean the Prince sound...

End of the story... [Edited 4/14/08 11:44am] No one with Prince has an indentity sorry to say for the most part, especially in thoose early days and later one's too. Vanity was Prince in lingerie, with ZERO stage presence, and YES i did see them open for him on occasions. The PRINCE pass is about as tired as the excuse of artists that dance should lypsync. As for the Cassie debate, look no one is saying its good or whatever, but if we are going to seperate the likes of Cthe Ciara's and all the others, than its nothing more than which one would you rather look at, since they are ALL making the same music on the same level. In perspective this is why we have shows like American Idol etc...because you can find what we deem as "talented" now ANYWHERE, the bar has been dropped because its not about music its ablout selling a package.

At least know what you're talking about before you post. Know SOMETHING about the person. krayzie said: He created and controlled the whole Vanity Shit concept, everything from A to Z. Period...
Obviously the "all roads lead to Prince" brainwashing has affected you. You actually believe that Prince was the only one involved with his protogee projects. Even after she released two albums with the same VOCAL style and lyrical style, you still believe that.
So young and gullible. Thank God Prince wrote all of Jesse Johnson's songs and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis's productions and... You're embarrassing yourself, really.
krayzie said: I don't know where you get the idea that Vanity developed her own image and lyrics...

I said: "Still, there is a big difference between someone who develops their own image beyond where it started and writes their own lyrics..." If you actually knew what you were talking about, you would know that Vanity's style of dress changed after the V6 album. She designed her own outfits - which were very 80s weird but they were HERS nonetheless. krayzie said: End of the story...
Are you sure? Did you actually read to the period or are you just assuming again? And Lastdecember, when you finish Vanity still trumps Cassie's lame ass ten times over and there's nothing you can say to debate that. One gets royality checks; the other one is Cassie. | |

Its cool. Nobody's mad about it. I don't even wish her any ill will. I just don't think she has any talent at all beyond looking good. Hey, if I were her I'd milk it for all its worth, too. | |

Her songs are monotonous, and she has absoutely no presence or persona. Yes she could make it as a model, but not even a top one as even they need some kind of flavour. | |

The matter of fact, when Vanity left prince, he had no problem to find another girl with the same look, same lack of talent and stage presence and he changed the name to Apollonia...

BlaqueKnight is one of the last people on the org that would look at things through Prince colored glasses. He has shit on Prince big time in the past. However, when it comes to comparing someone like Vanity, who we all agree has no musical talent, to someone like Cassie....who I have never heard of, but did search the internet for, and am assuming from what I've read, is one of these current shit hop type artists that never get past midtempo since MTV and BET's "106 & Park" likes her and she is signed to Bad Boy records.....a howling cat on a fence is better than anyone with even the tiniest affilliation to shit hop. You can pretty much put that who is cassie rant on everyone from Rihanna and then go down the freaking line, lets get real already. Im not saying give her props for anything but her looks, but dont start this dreamworld where she is the only one, drop the double standards
No, she's definately not the only one. Basically, practically anyone that came onto the scene in the 1990s and today ain't shit. Andy is a four letter word. | |

He may not have had the greatest voice but if somebody imitated him, you would immediately have known who they were trying to copy. Same with Vanity. The group Madame X, which came later and actually were talented, were definately influenced by Vanity 6's slutty look and the Prince style behind their music. Bernadette Cooper from Klymaxx was the mastermind behind Madame X's jams and the three girls of the group could actually sing. So yeah, Vanity 6, talented or not, was definately an influence on not just a group to come a few years later, but a good group, and not some weak ass slow group. She's not Whitney Houston but she at least had a sound of her own; an identity.
You got that right. She's the exact opposite of that little goodie two shoes, Mary Poppins wannabe. And at least Vanity had the good sense to get men behind her that could give her some jams instead of some weak ass adult contemporary, crossover bullshit. She started out as Rick James' girlfriend and Prince stole her. Hell, those are the two best of all time right there. She definately had good sense if nothing else. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Correction, Prince controlled the whole Vanity 6 project. Vanity had albums of her own and several movies after she left Prince and he had no control of those whatsoever. Vanity's career started when she met prince, and her career stopped when she left Prince...
If it wasn't for prince, she would have never had a career in the first place... Despite her stage presence Rick James was possibly going to give her a career. It's rumored that she might have been one of the Mary Jane Girls. Hell, if Rick heard her voice, he might have given her a little job like shaking tamborines or something.
Anyway, Prince stole her from Rick and Prince used the inside info about Rick starting a girls group to beat him to the punch. Rick was furious about it but he said himself that "Prince could have the bitch because she couldn't sing anyway. She gives him pussy and he gives her a hit record". Regardless, she had the connections and somebody was going to give her a career.Andy is a four letter word. | |
