♫ WHO SANG IT BETTER? KARINA VS. CASSIE ♫

Friday, April 11, 2008

♫ KARINA PASIAN - OFFICIAL GIRL

♫ CASSIE - OFFICIAL GIRL

Just yesterday, Cassie’s new single, “Official Girl” surfaced on the internet. The new single, produced by Danja and penned by The Clutch, is the first single from Cassie’s sophomore effort. The thing about it is, 16 year-old Karina Pasian recorded the song as well. Karina (who is signed to Def Jam) has been making waves with her song “16 At War” and can throw down on the piano.

I actually believe in this song and I think it’s a good a look. Vocally, I’m not really impressed with either version, but I know that I do like Karina’s voice. I think that it’s just the vocal arrangement and production is meant to be underwhelming, so that’s why I’m not really impressed with either. But what do you think? Who sang it better?

cassie’s is better to me. her voice fits the song more so than the other girl karina, who, at times, was doing too much. and that made her vocals sound a bit sloppy. not to say i dont like her version, b/c i do. but i think cassie’s stood out more.

Karina’s version is definately better. Cassie’s version sounds a mess. It’s like comparing a diamond to a CZ.

song is whack, but presented better by Karina…. (not too too muchy much extra extra)

Karina actually made me come back to this site and listen to the song again….I didn’t even listen to the song yesterday….all it takes for me is the mention of CASSIE and I’m not going to entertain it. Today I went ahead and listen to compare her and Karina and to me it was a hands down victory for Karina. I couldn’t even listen to Cassie the whole way through. I let Karina’s version play over and over…until I realized z-share kept starting it up again.

Little Miss Auto-tone needs to give it up already.

She let a 16 year old sing her song better than her.

That’s kind of sad.

Karina’s is way better than cassies

Even if cassis did sing the song with any kind of vocals people would automatially dislike the song because its her singing it. Janet nor britney can sing vocally and they lipsink, but they are excellent performers!

Karina sings it 10 times better than Cassie. Then, again I’m sure my dog can sing it better than Cassie, my goldfish can sing better than Cassie…Yall get the picture. LMAO.

I’m not impressed by either version. I will say Cassie’s version is more polished in my opinion. The song itself is medicre. I have heard of this Karina chick before and I’m still not impressed, I doubt if she will compare to Alicia Keys.

it’s quite obvious that karina wins. cassie’s a beautiful girl but singing isn’t her thing. karine can sing and she’s very pretty too so they could market her well. she actually made the song better b/c she put more life into it

KARINA YOUR VOICE IS SOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! STOP SELLING SONGS TO ARTIST THAT CAN’T SING ITS GETTING OUT OF HAND..

Karina’s voice is very deep. I like Cassie’s version. Love the song!!

93.

i'm just here for the free food

KARINAAAA.
please stop the maddness, did you hear that girls vocals. WOW.
I hated this song a few hours ago. Now I like it.

I wish they would have given it to her.

98.

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

@83 Please, stop….just STOP.

Cassie isn’t a performer either. She can’t sing, dance, or perform.
Unless that performance consist of her cat walking, its going to suck. And Cassie will never be Janet nor Brittany. So stop with the comparisons its insulting. Ciara’s voice isn’t all that strong but we give her a pass because she can perform. Cassie can do none of thee above.

So again I ask you just STOP.

Karina has a beautiful voice that can definitely rival alot of these older singers out here today. Her song 16 at War is definitely a great song and its nice to hear a young lady sing of the pressures that teens face today instead of the typical pop stuff.

Karina by far. I checked some of videos on youtube,and she’s really talented, the video of her singing in turkish blew me away. I’m an instant a fan now,she has a brilliant bright career ahead of her.

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

105.

Lovely young lady 22123

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

I agree with number 7 when I first heard 16 at war I thought it was Tiffany as well they sing alike but I liked Karina’s version better though it’s thorough and you understand it better also Cassie’s is good too though

106.

TRILLA

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

I KNEW CONCRETELOOP WOULD DO THIS SHIT.
HOW DARE YALL COMPARE KARINA TO SHITTY ASS TALENTLESS CASSIE?
KARINA STOLE ME WITH THE FIRST LISTEN & WHEN I FIRST HEARD CASSIE’S VERSION, I HATED IT. SO I PUT KARINA’S VERSION BACK ON AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AGAIN. THIS CHICK GOT IT!
EVEN THOUGH SHE SOUNDS ALOT LIKE TIFFANY EVANS, I GIVE CHICK HER PROPS.
SHE JUST SHITTED ALL OVER CASSIE! ROTFLMAO
THAT WOULD BE SOME SHIT IF KARINA’S VERSION BLOWS UP & CASSIE’S VERSION FLOPS.
HMMMMM….

BRIAN WHY ARE YOU EVEN ASKING????

YOU KNOW THE DAMN ANSWER ALREADY!!!

CASSIE CAN’T SING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

110.

Patience

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

I just listened to Cassie’s version. I like them both. Karina’s had a bit more flavor, while Kassie’s will prob have wider appeal. Sounds like the Tim man on both versions. I think a good video could push the song up the charts for either singer.

111.

karina vocally sounds better the cassie overall making her version of the song sound better

112.

whatitdo

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

Karina is the bizzness….the earthiness of her voice hold up better to beat of the song…..I also agree karina version is more Of an RnB feel vs cassies cut, besides if cassie didnt have the model look she wouldent have lasted for this full second she managed to get the eye of puffy …money talks….

I LIKED CASSIE’S BETTER BECAUSE HER VOICE IS LIGHT AND KARINA VOICE IS STRONG AND IT DOESN’T GO WITH THE SONG

117.

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

Karina voice sounds like everybody out here nothing distinctive to me but hey she won by default because it doesn’t take much to sound better than Cassie. However much to success to Karina a young prodigy in the game lol

@ # 98

I never said that Cassie was a performer, I was comparing her to Janet and Britney VOCALLY, none of them have great vocals but they are great performers and thats why they sell records. Nor did i say that she could ever be Janet or Britney. I was just tryin to state that even if she did come back with good vocals or whatever that people would just not like her because she is Cassie, and people love to hate her!

The song is cute, but I wasn’t wow’d. I’m impressed with Karina’s vocals I must say. Gives me Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, Solange vibes. LOL

126.

Jason??

Friday, April 11, 2008 /

Alright Alright let me put this to rest…. Karina is not using this song on her album… this is a song she passed on and Diddy picked up for cassie because he heard Karina’s Demo…(i guess somewhere in that big ol head of his he thought Cassie could sing it just like K, lmao) 16 @ war is the single and that shit is hott!!!! keep doing your thing Karina!! oh and the Tiffanny Evans comparisons need to STOP!!! shes a great singer but not a musician, open your eyes and see the truth karina lies amongst the greats like Alicia, Mariah, Whitney and Celine Dion… now Back to ur local programming

Saturday, April 12, 2008 /

I am going to add my two cents, Karina sounds better on this wack track so I have to give it to her but this song sucks, after hearing her I OFFICIALLY CAST CASSIE AS A BAD SINGER the chick Karina obviously has a better ear and anyone notice Karina sings while Cassie is talking through the song.

BLACK WOMEN STOP BEING SO DUMB. BOYCOTT ALL THIS CRAP UNTIL RECORD COMPANIES SIGN BLACK FEMALE SINGERS. THEY ARE ALREADY TRYING TO SABOTAGE ESTELLE AND HER ALBUM DIDN’T EVEN COME OUT YET.YEAH SHE NEED HER TEETH FIXED BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HER HAIR, WHATS NEXT THEY GONNA ASK HER TO BLEACH HER SKIN. BLACK WOMEN CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR OWN DEMISE. WE USED TO HAVE STEPHANIE MILLS, ANITA BAKER, SWV, PHYLLIS HYMAN AND COUNTLESS OTHER BLACK GREAT BLACK SINGERS. MARY, ERYKAH AND JILL ARE THE LAST BLACK WOMEN STANDING IN RnB. IF RACE DOESN’T MATTER WHY ARE BLACK WOMEN BEING ERASED FROM THE FORM OF MUSIC THEY CREATED.

I wish some people would get off cassie’s clit i’ve never seen so much hate goodness.

Every wants to say karina sounds better are you guys serious?

yes the child can blow but if you really listen to the song she is riding the beat to hard and sort of shouting at you. Why do you think they past on the song it doesnt work for her.

Cassie on the other hand killed this song her voice was perfect it’s strong when it needed to be yet soft when it was called for. Her runs were lovely and her adlibs were crazy.

People form your own opinions instead of flowing what everyone else above you is writing.

They r both good!!!… They both sang it differently and I love the beat!!!N y r yall hatin on Cassie???… I think she has a nice voice its not like she sounds like a train that went off the rail way line… I mean come on there are singers who sound a whole lot worse!!….. Cassie is here to stay there is nothin you can do about it.She has ppl who have her back and that’s why she is still around. She is a sweet girl with a great personality and that’s what’s also keeping her around too. Maybe it’s her beauty that gets ppl attracted to her and we can’t blame her for being pretty. She has it and she is allowed to flaunt it!!!… Cassie ’s voice is nice, I like the song and I wouldnt mind buying her ablum and as for Karina Pasian she has a great voice!!!

Saturday, April 12, 2008 /

Now yall ALL know that Karina killed the track. Cassie should honestly give it up. Without all the studio wizardy; she has nothing. Her vocal skills (or lack there of) are horrible! With digital voice enhancers; ANYONE can sing. I’m currently recording in the studio, and I’ve heard people speak-sing into the mic, and when it’s all said and done they sound sumthing like ASSIE(Cassie for yall slow ones). Smfh; yall know yall wrong for even thinking about asking who rocked the song better.

I like think Karina’s voice better, but this song seems to not do her voice any justice.
