VIDEO: CASSIE ft. LIL WAYNE - “OFFICIAL GIRL”
Friday, August 22, 2008
Cassie finally debuts the video for her first single, “Official Girl,” featuring Lil’ Wayne. It was a long time coming and this is what we waited for? Very disappointed. It’s boring, pretty uninspired and the concept is very shotty. I don’t know how I feel about this one, Cass…
But I guess Bad Boy has some time to regroup, considering they pushed the still untitled project back to early ‘09.

OK these Aaliyah comparisons are KILLING me! Everytime someone dresses comfortably for a dance shot EVERYONE compares them to Aaliyah! Like every chick in my dance class dresses like Aaliyah then! I mean damn, first Ciara now Cassie! JUST BECUZ U HAVE A PRETTY FACE AND WEAR BAGGY PANTS AND A BRA DOES NOT MAKE U A SWAGGA JACKA OF AALIYAH! DAMN!
*anyways the vid is hot and the beat is hot. I mean its Cassie, were u really expecting a VOCAL breakthrough?

Its sad that the only thing I noticed was how she was in a state of constant undress. Never paid her any mind and going back to that.

1. There was NO CONCEPT! What the hell was the video about? They could’ve kept that rewind scene in the beginning out.
2. Why is she half naked? Guess thats the only way she’s going to sell
3. She wore that pink dress at the BET awards. Not a good look

She seems very Aaliyah-esque to me in the video. I bet if Aaliyah was alive she would have done this dry ass song some justice… Cassie is pretty, she just can’t sing.

OK here’s the deal…I love what Danja and the Clutch did with the record…However, Karina Pasian’s version is wwwwaaaayyyyy better and I feel the song went to waste when Cassie got a hold of it. Lil Wayne’s autotuned vocals at the end of the song were way hotter than Cassie’s vocals.
She doesn’t feel the lyrics of the song…she lacks emotion. She sucks! Atleast her little dancing parts were better than the “Me & U” video…

LOL at Diddy and Assie’s PR team strategically placing comments on this blog. I mean really, why would you ever stop what your doing to watch this video. I agree with the person that talked about us being the consumers-why would I pay to hear Assie? I mean if you don’t have the remarkable singing talent, make up for it somewhere else. At least Rihanna has some remotely interesting videos, this ish right here will make you comatose.
And if you wanna call me a hater, go ahead, I can care less about what you think. You should learn another word, but that would require some creativity.

I think that she is playing off her body and pretty face. She does not have a good voice at all.

Swagger jacker!
As soon as Ciara brought back the 4-finger rings in the “Stepped On My J’z” video, Keri Hilson, Pussycat Dolls, and now Cassie are all following along. SMH.
And was this video shot the same day as the BET Awards??? Cuz that pink dress kinda brought about deja vu…LOL
Bottom line: Wayne can’t even save this chick. She looked good as all hell tho!

The wackness of Bad Boy continues.. I can tell they were trying to somehow “align Cassie with Aaliyah in this video- but to even TRY to do so is such an insult to how much talent Aaliyah brought to the game. Sorry Cassie- I think you’ve proven yourself to be a model-Nothin more, nothin less- And ain’t nothin wrong with that but just DO YOU!!! Cause music damn sho ain’t cha cup of tea!! As far as Lil Wayne goes- I don’t give a damn what nobody say “Sometimes you have to turn down work just to make people respect the integrity of your craft”. This whole project was straight bullshit…..

I love Aaliyah just as much as the next… BUT she is not the only female that can wear a bikini top and pants or have long black hair.
That comparison was not needed.

TRUTH HURT, MUCH
Saturday, August 23, 2008 /
? I really could just leave it there… First of all, you know something sucks when Lil Wayne’s computer generated moans are the best things going in an actual SONG…but why is she dressed like that throughout the whole thing? Not being funny, but has she been in a coma since 2002 or something? Doesn’t she realize that very thin girls aren’t exactly fodder for people who watch videos??? And the sublimenal Puff at the end of the video was just tacky and made her look disgusting…really… The sad thing is she actually has okay style and she totally sold out by choosing to SHOW HER BODY at the expense of really great fashion…something she could have gotten a few points for, at least. I think Diddy is wayyyy overestimating Cassie’s appeal, honestly…

Why is she wearing a bathing suit with a jacket?.. Who walks around like that>? For real this song is boring, and just because Wayne is on the track doesn’t mean the track is going to be good. But she looks great. Kinda like Aaliyah though. She’s doesn’t have longevity in this business as a singer. Thats my take on her.

The only thing that was nice was them white boots….they are bad.
This chick can not sing….
This chick is shaped like a piece of stick {Diddy feed her please}
Lil Wayne was the only reason that song sound aight..
This broad is officially the wackest out there. She needs to get her weight up. Chick just reminds me of J-Lo.

@ 74. Totally agree.
And I don’t like. She’s just a bad product. A pretty face with without voice. Maybe I-m wrong but I like music because I like what I-m listening not because of how pretty or handsome is the singer.i-ll never buy a CD.And i must admit I like some of her songs but not for pay for them.
and it-s not about Cassie, a lot of singers try to be or try to make something they can-t do.

Ok I’ve never really been a Cassie fan, I don’t think the girl can BLOW but I think she’s cool for bobbing your head to the beat of her songs while driving or in traffic. The songs cool and catchy and sayin what most of us women are dealing with now a days. But the video? Hell naw! I think while she looked good fashion wise, she JACKED Aaliyah in EVERY way she could. From her hair down to her damn dance moves. I was and still am a HUGE Aaliyah fan and I feel like get your own style or sit your ass down. While Cassie is pretty that’s all she’ll ever be is a skinny ass girl with a pretty face. I agree with whoever said she needs to just model, she’d be a FAR better model than singer or Aaliyah jacker if you ask me.

Jeez, you guys are so negative! nobody is forcing you to buy her cd,nobody is forcing you to listen to her……
I personally think she sucks hard BUT if thats her thing let her do it,it’s not like i’m gonna spend my money on her anyway….
she sure as hell cant sing but she got a deal and making money while you’re sitting home bitching about it… what she’s doing is kind of clever IMO!
I can’t sing for shit too but If i could make a few bucks,wear designer clothes and enjoy the good life, I would jump at the opportunity!

Cassie is beautiful..However, the song is blah. Karina definitely sings it better!

I was so disappointed when i seen cassie in concert. diddy should of NEVER signed her to his record label. all sge did was lip sync and barely dance. all she has is a face and body… thats about it. sorry cassie i aint hating on you girl im just going by what i have seen/heard. your backup dancers put more heart into the performance than you did boo. plain and simple

Cassie isnt that bad….I didnt really care for the song but the video helped alot. The entire video is killin em. That Bugatti she driving is enough by itself…. The boots, the brown tight ass members only jacket she is dancing in….the white jackets…..If this was Rhianna’s video some of you would be on here acting like it was the video of the year….The girl wears her hair straight puts on some shades and wears a bikini and all of a sudden she is trying to be the second coming of Aaliyah maybe some of you werent paying attention but at the end of Aliyah’s career that wasnt even her style anymore…. CL has cosigned for worse….

The video is okay I’m just not feelin’ Cassie. Maybe if she could sing but she can’t. Karina’s version was alot better.. Cassie looks great in the video tho. Maybe she should go back to modelling cuz singing isn’t her thing..

Wow, guess im late!!
this track is POOR
but i have a feeling that if i hear it about 5 times i’ll like it
i like cassie songs, she can’t sing but her and ryan leslie make this summery happy sound/ vibe
some much wrong with this video like…
why y is weezy looking UP to cassie?
why she keep jiggling her breastes?
what is the bloody concept of this video?
why did weezy think it was an obligation to do t-pain-ish singing at the end?
CONCLUSION: THIS SH**T IS ALL FORMS OF WRONG

I agree. It was pretty boring. And the chemistry between Cassie and Lil Wayne.. Wait what chemistry? It seemed ackward when they were on the screen together. And it’s funny, I couldn’t help but think that the dude was portraying diddy or something.

Saturday, August 23, 2008 /
Well… all i can say is Cassie is stealing Aaliyah’s style and there is only one who can pull that off …Aaliyah i mean the songs not bad … but looking at the video all i can think of is Aaliyah (R.i.P) … but Cassie needs to be drop she dont have skills … she’s good at the act but she don’t got the talent …

Well, ya’ll know Diddy will do anything for this little girl.
It should be titled ‘Lil Wayne f/ Cassie.’ But why in the world did Weezy decide to be a part of this shiznit?
268.
Vicky
Saturday, August 23, 2008 /
If Cassie was not a part of Bad Boy, no one would sign her. Singing is NOT for her. Please let Simon Cowell from American Idol critique her. That will be HILAAAARIOUS!!…and hurt her little poor feelings.

All through this song all i could think is what the hell is she doin? I heard about the song ages ago but only just listened to it. Is this how she naturally sings??? Cuz thats just the way i sound when i sing in a falsetto and i will admit upfront that my musical talents do not lay in my voice. And why is she half naked in every shot??? I want to cry for music on the whole but mostly for her after this video. She is pushin pussy tryna sell music! Im sorry i had to say it. Like “if i wear a bikini they wont notice how wack my voice and dancing is”. She is beautiful and talented, why does she feel she needs to be a singer to succeed?
Has n e 1 read Girls by Nic Kelman. Why does she remind me of this book??? Lik Puffy, sorry Diddy is soooo gettin at her and wants to give her everythang and live vicariously thru her? Girl stop. Just run away from the world for a wile, find yourself, and then come bak. Im sure we’ll all love her more.

The song was alright.
The video was aesthetically pleasing (especially for guys), she looks pretty!
Lil Wayne was NOT needed…but then again, by the time it got to his part I was half asleep soOo I was not paying attention to one word he said!!
This is NOT the first time Aaliyah’s swag has been jacked since she has passed, so whyyyyy are you guys mentioning the obvious?? R.I.P. BABYGIRL 1/16/79-8/25/01
Why do you guys think she is messing with Diddy?? Just b/c she is prettier than all of you, and he would NEVER touch yall?? smh
And, i dont wanna give up totally on Cassie yet, b/c she’s on my hubby’s (R-Les) label: Next Selection

Oh n ps the song is listenable but did lil wayne just give the hell up after the Carter 3. That verse was wack along with the one on out here grinding! We need to have a best rapper for the year award cuz once some folks get it they just try to feed ya bullshit and act like you just ain “sophisticated” enuff to get it! (that was a Jay attack for all who didnt realize it! lol)

They could never turn her into Aaliyah cause girl can’t sing, she has no rhythm, and Aaliyah has never wore revealing clothes like that. What was the ass shot of her walking across the room for? All this Cassie is trying to see is sex appeal and that can only go but so far cause I’m just not feeling this at all. I want to know who is the real Cassie cause girl ain’t being herself just something Diddy and some other people put together.

I got the feeling that they were trying to fashion Cassie as a 2008 version of Aaliyah as well. Ever since she’s been gone we’ve had-Ciara, Ashanti, Rihanna etc…I really miss u Baby Girl…Rip; No one will ever be able to take your place. You were trully “One in a million”!

Cassie is a very pretty girl & the boots were hot but this video could’ve been wayyyy better-too many random scenes and only a small display of concept at the very end…I like Wayne but he didn’t really add much to the song; that coupled with Cassie’s ‘vocals’ made Karina’s version much better.
It is interesting to see so many Aaliyah comparisons though, I just watched some old music vids last night (Aaliyah, 112, Brandy etc) and started to really miss her, and the old R&B….
279.
UM...I GUESS
Saturday, August 23, 2008 /
ok so first…cassie is a stunniiinnnng girl! but that’s nothing new.
second…i totally agree that the video was uninspired and a re-do of millions of videos past. if they really want everyone to stop focusing on the fact that she can’t sing (like, AT ALL), they need to at least bring us a mind-blowing video to distract attention away from that.
smh… a still shot of this video is exactly what you would find in the dictionary next to the phrase “sex sells”…

rihanna wore those strappy boots @ the BET awards in black and the same exact ones cassie had on b4 the awards in a behind the scene shot….. and cassies must b broke cuz that pink drss is eh SAME one that she wore to the BET awards….lol…. that should be a “when did she wear it best” section….lol

ANNOYING!!! plus, u guys act like aaliyah was the only who could wear a bone straight wrap! well guess what, she isnt, so get over it! aaliyah was very pretty, but cassie looks better than her! GET OVER IT!

HOW EMBARRESSING FOR LIL WAYNE.
Can’t believe he actually agreed to contribute to this piece of shit.
Cassie is a waste of Bad Boy’s time & money.
We all know she would’ve been dropped from the label if it wasn’t for f***ing P.Diddy.

Im a Cassie fan and i cant lie, her last two videos were very upsetting, but this video gave me what i wanted, some Cassie with plot. For those who dont understand the concept or stay hating, Cassie is fed up with Mr.Man and so her whole deal is that she is trying to get him back and make everything Official, so Cassie takes those pics and storms into the office saying basically, “im tired of not being THE ONE” so she tosses him the pics as a bittersweet thing, saying this is what you could have had
if you listen to the song and then think back of the video, its giving your the video to the song, its no “I want you”(Common) but like it served its purpose and was decent.
also guys give it up, Cassie came hard this go round, she is reminiscent of Aaliyah sure, but who isnt these days?

Damn…no doubting she is pretty. But she is as slutty as she is pretty and her singing chops? Nonexistent.
I can’t believe she stooped this low to be seen…she was way too slutty in this video with her flappy mini booty cheeks hanging all over the place? I mean come on!
Ok…I see her trying a Aaliyah/Mya/Ciara thing with the dancing…good look I guess.
The song is just OK and the lyrics seem to reference the so-called rumour with her and Diddy…what timing?
Cassie you’re pretty and all…but you should NOT be singing. And her singing says a lot about the industry. People call out Rihanna about this…but Rihanna is a much more complete artist and actually has a voice…Cassie? She probably lost hers…in Diddy’s pants.
That’s it!

I think wat the supporters are saying is “what more can ask for, her clothes are banging, the styling of the vid is banging, she looks beautiful”…and I agree BUT that still does not carry her. I’m sorry but beyond all the clothes (Aaliyah swagger jacking) and her ass hanging out….AT THE END OF THE DAY, I have to buy the album at Best Buy or I-Tunes and this does not prompt me to do so! Probably never will…

This video is ridiculous… first, she thinks she is Aaliyah, but she’ll never EVER be. Second, she thinks she’s dope, but she just aint! Cassie is just useless and pointless in music, why is she here? I think she is, has always been, and will always be crap. I BIN IT.

Cassie is defintaely a cute skinny chick. That’s the only way I can describe her. No singing talent but defnitely could model full time. When will real women realize that taking off your clothes for the world to c is not cute?

umm…well what has been said has been said. i cant really say that this vid is all that original, but the quality of it was very nice. there was a lack of concept and not to mention lil wayne’s part didnt fit anywhere at all. this vid basically showed of cassie’s ASSets and not her talent IF she even has any of that. sorry, but the promo vid for this made it look so much better, unfortunately she didnt do he part to live up to it.
