♫ THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW ♫
Thursday, August 7, 2008



♫ Cassie - My House (full) - REMOVED
I try so hard to not like Cassie, because I know that she just isn’t a talented girl. But she sucks me in every time with these sexy, synth ballads. Either her songs are extremely catchy, or just really sexy and “My House” is no different. Even though I dug “Official Girl,” they need to push out another single for Cassie - quick, fast and in a hurry. Her second album has been pushed back to the top of ‘09, so they’ve got some time to hit the drawing board and restrategize.
♫ Omarion - Vroom (full) - listen
Here’s a new track from Omarion. I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed. Omarion was dropped by his label, but newly signed a deal with the Mosley Music Group, which is Timbaland’s label. In all honesty, I jogged some interest for his third solo album, because I thought that Timbaland, Danja and The Neptunes (who Omarion has worked with previously as well) would churn out some heat for his new album. I just assumed that they would putting out some music with an edgier sound for him. This sounds like B2K.
♫ Mariah Carey feat. LL Cool J - I’ll Be Loving U Long Time (Remix) (full) - listen
Here’s another remix from Mariah for “I’ll Be Loving U Long Time,” featuring none other than LL Cool J, who is about to release his album, Exit 13. I actually dig this remix from Mariah. I like the change of the production. I wonder if they plan on servicing this to radio, considering I’ve already started to hear the remix to “Side Effects” with Busta Rhymes.
♫ Chris Brown - Captive (snippet) - REMOVED
Is Chris Brown working on a new album already? I guess the success that he garnered with the new single, “Forever,” produced by Polow Da Don, for his release of Exclusive made him realize that he needed to go back into the studio with Polow Da Don. I actually dig this snippet a lot, but I’m wondering if this type of music will still be relevant by the time he’s ready to drop his third album. Chris just barely made it through the sophomore slump, so I wish him the best.

Cassie is not a whore even though it’s a bad look to date your boss, but if you’re not close friend of hers then you don’t know shit about her.

ANSWER TO # 64: “I don’t understand why she still signed?”
well because Diddy is smashin that…and she will soon have his kids..Diddy’s not stupid…just ask Ryan Leslie
As for C brown…..i havent heard it….IF HE WAS SMART HE WOULD DO A SONG WITH RIHANNA…i mean you know it will go high on the billboard charts? cuz she still is the “it” girl and they eat up everything she put out….think cbrown.
Omarion career has been over since b2k broke up.Anyone c his new bf? Bow Wow.
As for mariah carey, she needs to go back to the MUSIC BOX…DAYDREAM days cuz no one takes her seriously (personally and with her music) i think that she has to maintain this ” Diva ” “Mimi” status or else she won’t sell….or people think that don’t hhave , but in reality she really lost it….AT least you can say Mary J kept it real from What’s the 411?, Share My world, to growing pains…she not tryin to be
hip with the kids” she put out her emotions and still singin with it…..In all Mariah songs, she sings with no emotions, she just whispers in her songs…the last song she actually felt her emotion was “fly like a bird” other than that nothing…she needs to stop be a DiVA and go back to the BACK 2 DA BASICS!

chris brown is wack, just cause those white people requesting your song on the radio don’t mean they going to buy your album. better stop playing dude. and stick to rnb. that’s what sell your albums. not that pop shit, stop trying to be something you are not. you are a sell out.

Cassie- The beat is cool, but I can’t get into this song because she’s still singing like a monotone robot. The song would be hot if some one else with a decent amount of range was singing it.
Omarion-Not bad, but not that good either. It’s filler material.
Mariah and LL-I liked it immediately. It’s much better than the original, which I didn’t like very much.
Chris Brown-Boring and heard it all before. This guy is addicted to the vocoder affect I see. This type of song has been done numerous times and it’s becoming stale.
Also, what’s with all the constant bashing about Brian’s reviews? He’s just blogging his thoughts about each song, which is exactly what we are doing in the comment section. It’s not like he’s a journalist for Entertainment Weekly.

The Cassie song is pushin fya, I think its cuz it has a lot of sex appeal.. She did a real good job for someone that isnt very talented. And I do agree that Ciara would have killed this.. but it isnt her song.. so just appriciate it for what it is.
I wasnt really feelin the Omarion song. It sounded like something straight off of the last B2K album
I’m not a fan of Mariah… so I proceeded to the next.
The Chris Brown song sounds like something that has already been done. I wasnt really diggin it. But I cant hate.. dude is on his shittington.

Mariah’s CD is crazy and this song sounds like OLD MARIAH, the one that sings in full voice and powerful and doesn’t care what people say. Bitch we get tired of you whispering all the damn time, while Whitney’s away, open those lungs, put down that drink and SINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. NEXT SINGLE: SHOULD BE: a) I Stay in Love (it’s we belong together type pain) b) Thanks for Nothing (just fire) or C) Side Effects (nicca did her wrong and now she’s healing type shiz-net)

i can’t believe sum of y’all actually think dis chick (non-talented cassie) has talent. if a ciara review was posted half of y’all would be bashing on her. but y’all would support non talented tricks like cassie who never had the POTENTIAL to sing or carry a note. sum of y’all don’t know anything about talent and think looks are the only way to make it in the music industry. and i’m sooooo sorry for y’all cassie STANS but it’s da truth whether y’all agree or not. hell i don’t think cassie would be condsidered even a legend in the next 10 years or so. can’t wait til THE PRINCESS drops FANTASY RIDE.

I’m kinda agreeing ^^
If it was a fat charcaol woman singing the song would you still think the song and beat was sexy then and tell people to stop hating?
Exactly!

Ummm, I must say the cassie tune is good, has me wishing her voice improved a little bit.
Omarion…didn’t bother to listen to that. It always confuses me when lead singers of medicore groups try to hit it big solo (Omarion, Nicole of Pussycat Dolls). Only really talented ppl. can publicly abandon their groups.
And Chris never said he doesn’t date dark skinned girls, even if it’s true. As of now he has known better then to sit in an interview and piss me off with that bullshit. Even what he said about his mother liking Rihanna (light skin and light eyes) was poor word choice (he’s not the greatest speaker yet) unlike Young Berg who was straight up, ignorant, and rude. There’s no way he didn’t realize what he said or how he said it, he just didn’t expect the backlash.
I don’t care if Young Berg’s mother is dark. Same way you can call your mother a bitch, but watch what you say about mine.

Cassie - Pass
Omarion - Definitely pass
Mariah - Hot beat, I like LL’s verse. Its a nice remix
Chris - I’m so tired of the techno/dance r&b, it was hot for a second but now its time for somethin a lil different
Cant wait till Ciara, Solange, and Keri come out with the new freshness, cuz im gettin tired of CB/RiRi & Neyo

Cassie might be a nice girl, down to earth….. blah blah blah…… but let’s be realistic, if every good looking - down to earth girl started putting out tracks, the industry would be SCREWED.
CASSIE CAN”T SING,
she can’t even lip-synch on que,
she has no stage presence,
she isn’t even a great dancer
she always looks nervous,
she’s admitted her looks got her in the industry
she had the biggest following on Myspace and her album still flopped
I mean why is she still singing………She’d make an awesome Victoria’s Secret model. Hell, even a show on the Disney Channel…….
I just don’t understand why she still sings………..

Cassie. . . I’m actually feelin this. Its sexy but she still isnt a good singer. Nor can she perform live but again there arent many good singers in the game anyway. Unfortunately, Good production is all people need nowadays. So thumbs up on the track.
Omarion. . . . The O album was his best. . . Downhill from there.
Mariah Carey.. . . . ummmm.. . .
Chris b. . . . love him but not this song.

Cassie: give it up baby. You can’t sing. After watching your performance on 106 & Park. I was done.
Omarion: cute beat i don’t know about having his whole album sounding all the same working with Timbaland…i prefer him working with other producer as well not just one or two.
Mariah: ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN REMIX. Your album already made it to the top. Calm your ass down
Chris Brown: Change up your style please. I feel like im hearing the same song over and over even though it is a different song

Cassie usually sucks me in too with her sound(though she can’t sing) but “my house” just plain sucks. And listening to it made me realized how much I miss Cici’s sound/music. Come back sooooooon ciara!!
I don’t care too much for for Omarion or Mariah
Does Chris and his girlfriend really think that bringing songs after songs after song on the scene gonna keep them relevant?? Not really, it’s gonna make people sick of them. They should just give it a rest for a while cuz its too much.

I know Cassie can’t sing, but Ciara can’t either so quit saying she would have killed Cassie song. The only thing Ciara has on Cassie is that she can dance her butt off. Both girls are pretty and should be lucky someone gave them a record deal. I REPEAT I AGREE CASSIE IS TALENTLESS (MUSIC WISE).
Omarion: He really hasn’t grown music wise, he should really work with other producers cause all his stuff sound the same.
Mariah: It’s ok I like the original better
CB: His first album was better, I have not liked anything from his last effort except “Take You Down”

That Cassie song is some BS! You can’t have a “sexy song” w/ a horrible voice. Sorry Brian… it just don’t work. It sounds like some crap that would play in the local gay (guy) club. Gay guys would go wild for this wackness….

To #15, CB NEVER stated he doesn’t date dark skin women. Where did you get that from? Plus there is a difference between having a preference (like saying “I prefer light skin”) VS. everything Young Berg said. He didn’t even used the term “dark skin” but rather went into a whole speech filled w/ ignorance and disrespect. Plus his mother is light skin and guys normally go for women who look like their mom….

@ 110
what da hell your dumb ass know about ciara? ciara can SANG wayyy better than cassie. ciara’ s vocal ability has improved over the past three years. dis non talented trick ain’t nowhere near to the PRINCESS’S LEVEL. so u might as well pipe ya ass down. ciara shits on cassie in both singing and dancing. also ciara is a singer/songwriter/producer/actress/entertainer. what is cassie? uhhhh…. let me remind yor ignorant ass cassie doesn’t write her own material and the only thing she is good for is looks. while ciara covers all in those catergories. CIARA will be known as a LEGEND oneday. and CASSIE will be known as a non talented artist who made it in the music industry for her looks and that’s ashamed they put artists on the SPOTLIGHT who doesn’t have the POTENTIAL to have TALENT. u can hate and bash on CIARA all you want to cuz the PRINCESS will still REGIN on her THRONE. FANTASY RIDE 08′!!!!

Chris Brown’s song is horrible, I am still trying to figure out why so many people seem to think that he can sing (Disturbia - there is not a whole lot poetic talent in his writing either). He can dance, but there are a lot of dancers out there who can do the same and more! I think that his little bit of talent will eventually fizzle out………But when you have PR people pushing your song to the point that people sing it because it is in there head whether they like it or not, that just goes to show the power of having the right people (and money) behind your project! Mariah is always on point despite all the haters who always want to write her off…….Cassie is a pretty face with no vocal talent whatsoever…….Omarion is on his way to fizzling out soon………

I have to admit it. I am jealous. Here I am busting my behind on stages in my town and killing myself to write material, praying and paying my dues…… getting nowhere, and this chick Cassie …. (whatever the rumors may be)…she’s got tracks. Well, at least i’ve got integrity. (Let me know when you can cash in on integrity). Until then, I’ll be on my grind. Good for her/keep it up/pretty works for her~ admittedly, I will not be buying it. Just not my cup of tea.

Chris Brown’s song captive is actually a song made for the PCD. If you listen carefully he says boy. Why would he say that for in his song? So I think it’s written for the PCD but he’s just singing the demo.
