♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Thursday, April 24, 2008


♫ Mariah ft. Jay-Z & J.D. - Bye Bye (remix) (full) - listen
Check out yet another Mariah Carey remix. This one is for the song “Bye Bye” and it featuring Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri. I’m actually feeling this one though. Mariah is currently topping the Billboard charts with her latest album E=MC2 selling 463,000 copies its first week. Can’t even hate on that.
♫ Fergie - Labels Or Love (full) - listen
As earlier reported, Fergie recorded the opening number to the much-hyped ‘Sex & The City’ movie (in theaters May 27th). The song is entitled, ‘Labels Or Love’, and it premiered on various blogs Wednesday. Sampling the SATC opening theme, the song really falls short. Fergie needs to switch it up already. Jennifer Hudson is also going to be featured on the soundtrack and I can’t wait to hear what she is going to do.
♫ Cassie - Tonight (snippet) - listen
A new Cassie snippet hit the net earlier this week and the girl is trying so hard. I’m sorry, but Cassie just can’t sing. Her beats are always tight though. No word if this song will be on her new album, but it most likely will be. Cassie recently starting filming the video for “Official Girl” a couple weeks ago and I’m sure she’ll be great eye candy or something.
♫ Lil Scrappy ft. Trey Songz - Thug It To The Bone (full) - listen
Lil Scrappy will be back with his 3rd studio album, Grustle, this summer. “Thug It To The Bone” features Trey Songz and was produced by Kane. This song has been out for a few weeks, but didn’t see Brian post it up yet. It’s aiight.

Tired of Mariah. It’s like she is releasing some of the songs she scrapped from her previous album. She just doesn’t seem to grow. I cannot deny that she is a legend but what the hell?
Some people are not just singers.. A.K.A Cassie. If she sounds this bad in the studio I wonder how she would perform live..
And as for the others…NEXT….

I was actually excited to hear the SATC theme song would be mixed but I am disappointed. I agree, it does fall short.

COME ON CASSIE….I MEAN REALLY….NOT TO BE MEAN BUT THAT SONG WAS SO BORING TO LISTEN TO…CHANGE YOUR VOICE IT DOESNT EVEN SOUND LIKE YOU ARE TRYING MAN……..JUST STOP EMBARASSING YOURSELF AT THIS POINT…NONE OF THE SONGS I HEARD SO FAR ARE MEMORABLE AND ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO…..WHAT THE HELLL IS THE PROBLEM?????

@ Ignorance is Bliss:
“Some people are not just singers.. A.K.A Cassie. If she sounds this bad in the studio I wonder how she would perform live..”
She sounds horrible live a la the BET fiasco. I don’t see how Diddy is hyping her and saying she’s improved vocally. All I hear is the same ol’ whisper “singing” she did last time. The track is hot but her vocals are not.

Everyone should really re-consider putting Jay on ish b/c the radio will play the shit out of it for one…but I don’t think the audience is really feeling it…And sometimes radio jocks can be a lil’ blind to that fact

Cassie is lame. She needs to retire from singing.

Cassie’s producers have so much faith in her…Well at least their putting SOMETHING in her..Sorry, but there is no way in hell she’s getting these great beats off her looks alone…Sounds like someone’s been grabbing the ankles for tracks…

Luv the Mariah song with J…what the hell @ Cassie’s song. She needs to hire somebody to sing and she lip synch cuz she only signed because of her looks….or maybe she really is messing with Puffy. everything else was cool.

Love the original Bye Bye its such a meaningful song but I dont see the need for Jay to be on there. Its still good but not as good as the original imo
Fergie is one of the worst singers ive ever heard next to Cassie! I dont get how or why either of them are famous! Cassie cant sing and that will never change no matter how great the production of her songs are.

ITS FUNNY THAT IF ANGEL OR BRIAN SAY THEY LIKE OR DONT LIKE A SONG, THERE IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL BIAS THAT WE AS HUMANS AUTOMATICALLY PUT UP. I WAS LISTENING TO FERGIES SONG AND THINKING, HMM I DONT LIKE IT EITHER AND THEN I THOUGHT TO MYS ELF, ACTUALLY THIS IS A GOOD SONG! I DONT HAVE TO DISLIKE IT BECAUSE ANGEL OR BRIAN DOES….
ITS A FUN CATCHY SUMMER SONG WHEN YOURE JUST CRUISING OR SHOPPING…..AND THE MOVIE DROPS JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER, MAY 30TH, SO CLEARLY ITLL BE THE SUMMER JAM!
I LIKE!!!

Diddy, instead of focusing on the band u need to focus on Cassie bcuz, she REALLY needs help with her vocals, maybe u should send Ankrh (however u spell his name) to her, but then again she might make him quit being a vocal coach. lmao, I believ she needs 2 end her music career and stay with the modeling, like Tyra.

Why isn’t Brian writing the music reviews anymore. it’s like everytime I see a music review now Angel is writing them. I love Angel but I like The way Brian Writes them. Anyhoo The Jay z Mariah remix is Fire!

Stop hating and give the girl a try, let’s think for a second beyonce does not have the best voice in the world to me she is nothing but eye candy, then you have rihanna who is a good performer but is so so on the vocals, i mean if britney spears can have number one albums and singles so can i and i know i can’t sing. so stop hating on cassie, her first album was not all that bad, this track from what i heard is alright.
36.
ALICIA IS ON SOMETHING...and needs 2 get off it QUICK!
Thursday, April 24, 2008 /
WHAT IS WRONG WITH U? RIHANNA CAN SING BETTER THAN BEYONCE????
ok sounding!!!
i HATE beyonce aS SHE I SNOT A GOOD MODEL 4 LIL GIRLZ, but she can DEF sing…
go sumwhere…and i mean FAR FAR away from this site…if the music industry was left up to you, i shudder 2 think what crappy artists you’d turn out…they’d make cassie & ciara look as good as whitney and mariah….
37.
WHY DON'T WE GIVE U A TRY?
Thursday, April 24, 2008 /
THE FACT THAT ALCICIA CONSIDERS PEEPUL LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS REAL MUSIC IS VERY sad….if u can’t sing, DON’T MAKE MUSIC!!!
do u want to becum a singer 2? i think so, or u would not be supporting talentless hacks who have no firggin talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND FERGIE can sing as well, next you’ll say whitney houston is okay sounding….

@35 PLEASE DONT PUT CASSIE AND BEYONCE IN THE SAM SENTENCE….BEYONCE BEEN BUSTIN HER ASS TO BE THE BEST SINCE SHE WAS LIKE 4 YEARS OLD AND GIVES 150%….CASSIE WOULDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HARD WORK CUZ THE BEOTCH DONT TRY CUZ SHE THINK SHE IS “IT” AND DEFINATELY IS NOT…RIHANNA CAN SING AND CARRY A NOTE WAY BETTER THEN CASSIE AND HAS A CUTE WEST INDIAN VOICE WHICH MAKES HER MARKETABLE….RIHANNA HAS GOTTTEN BETTER AND BETTER WITH EACH ALBUM AND CASSIE HAS NOT…..SO PLEASE….PEOPLE THINK THE WORLD IS SUPOSE TO SWEAT CASSIE CUZ SHE IS PRETTY BUT WHEN YOU GOT SOMEONE LIKE BEYONCE WHO KILLS IT ALL THE TIME AND NOBODY CAN COMPETE WITH HER AND DROP DEAD GOREGEOUS AT THAT…..CASSIE LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE……..IF YOU WANT US TO GO JUST BY LOOKS THEN I CAN HOSTELY SAY I KNOW A BUNCH OF FILIPINO GIRLS MIXED AND STRAIGHT THAT LOOK JUST LIKE CASSIE…BUT BEYONCE IS SPECIAL AND NOBODY IS LIKE HER….

@35 BRITNEY HAS NUMBER ONE SINGLES SOLEY ON THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NOONE FOR LITTLE WHITE GIRLS TO FOLLOW….SO THATS WHY BRITNEY WAS THE BIG THING SEVERAL YEARS AGO…NOT BECAUSE OF HER LACK OF TALENT BUT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER WHITE GIRL TEENAGE ARTIST OUT…PLUS BRITNEY BEEN PRACTING AND DANCING AND WORKING SINCE SHE WAS LIKE 7 YEARS OLD…SO SHE WAS DECENT WHEN SHE WAS OUT…..CASSSIE’S CASE IS NOT THE SAME BECAUSE WE HAVE CIARA, BEYONCE, ETC….AND PLUS SHE JUST DOESNT HAVE MUCH TO GO ON…..SHE CAN’T DO MUCH OF ANYTHING BUT STAND THERE AND LOOK CUTE….AND ANYBODY CAN DO THAT….

Oh my! This Cassie thing is getting beyond a joke.
I honestly want to know who would actually buy her CD. I wouldn’t even download it on Limewire and that sh** is free!
She needs to go join that wannabe Pussycat Dolls group or something!
I love the Bye Bye remix.

……LOL @ everything “Cassie”! Fa real!!!!! She’s just a cute puppet with great producers. THAT IS IT! That’s when you know Diddy has money to play with….. BTW, wasn’t Karina supposed to get that “Official Girl” song?????? Come on! She clearly ripped it to little malnurished Cassie pieces! Note to Diddy: Whispering isn’t singing……. Rhianna CAN sing!!!! (heard her live thank you) Fergs is aiight….. B works damn hard for her money and Brit payed attention in dance and lip synch 101.

The cassie joint grows on me her beats are always hot and I do think that she has some singing ability she just needs to learn to get over her stage fright and let go of her self inhibitions on stage and just be free.
We can’t give bitches like Britney Spears and Rihanna a pass and them bang the gavel and throw the book at Cassie. It’s all or nothing.
I like her.

I’m not for or against Cassie. I agree she can’t really sing, and prefer the other girls’s (Karina) version to Official Girl. But Cassie’s music fits a certain genre, I think. Not exactly R&B. Her music is kinda like a throw back to dance music that was really popular in the late 80’s by artists like the cover girls (show me), Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Sweet Sensation (hooked on you), Expose (Let me the one). I grew up on that music as a kid. I’m several years younger than puffy. So pufffy was probably a teenager when this music was popular, and remembers it very well. And is probably trying to bring it back with Cassie.
