Diddy comments on Cassie's shaky week

[musiq]

Even while he's partying overseas, Diddy isn't too out of touch to know what's going on in the U.S.

Cassie, Bad Boy's latest princess, debuted at #4 this week on the SoundScan charts, selling just north of 100,000 copies of her self-titled

Last week, however, was a different story. An alternate "Me & U" video — which Cassie calls unofficial — leaked to the Net. In the clip, Cassie is getting very intimate with a man, singing in her bra and panties, pulling a man's pants down and getting videotaped Paris Hilton style. But that seemed to be the least of her problems.

While promoting her album last week, Cassie stopped at New York radio station Hot 97, where she had interviews with Funkmaster Flex and Angie Martinez. In one of the show's more controversial segments, Cassie rated several male recording artists — including Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and T.I. — on a scale of 1-10 for sexiness. To top it off, Cassie had some less-than-stellar performances on MTV's "TRL" and BET's "106 & Park."

While in the U.K., Diddy brushed off Cassie's rocky performances, chalking it up to her inexperience.

"She had her first television performance, and she had an all right performance," he said. "You could hear the nervousness in her voice. And to be honest, I kind of smiled at it, because it made me really appreciate what I really love about her: She's a regular person. And we, as artists, we sometimes get nervous. I told her it's like riding a bike: You're gonna fall down, you got to keep on getting on it. I'm with her through her development, and I have no questioning on her ability, on her singing ability. It just made me appreciate that she got nervous, and it was kind of cute to me, to be honest.

"It takes time when you're developing a new artist," he continued. "You can't be fickle. Some people are going to have good days and bad days. The thing about Bad Boy is, we're with our artists through all days. She's not an artist that has a problem with her vocals or singing. You've got to understand that success for her is coming out of nowhere. It's just so huge, and sometimes everybody handles it differently. So I'm quite sure she'll get over it. She's going to have to. That's part of being a recording artist, and sometimes it takes time. I don't care how many performances it is, I'm going to be with her until she gets it right."

Cassie addressed last week's events on her MySpace page.

"I am aware that my live performances have been pretty bad," she posted. "No excuses, I'm still getting over stage fright. I am very upset with the series of events this week, and I do not appreciate people making me look and sound crazy. I'm not a whore or a *****, which is what people have been making me out to be. I'm a 19-year-old girl, I'm single, and I'm working my ass off."

[Obvious Man]

[Juicer]

She needs to stop trying, if you're gonna be a singer at least be able to sing.

[SmarterLyrics]

she needs to quick release her second single so she doesn't get cham syndrome..

The thread is about her so I commented. Christina oversings, so does beyonce, all rnb singers now have hip hop beats and rappers in their songs... rnb fell off, there I commented on the rest of that sh!tty genre.

valid point. I can no longer tell the difference between Ciara, Janet, Beyonce or whomever. I miss the Phyllis Hymans, Anita Bakers, Regina Belle's of the world. They got pushed out and could and can out sing any of these heifers. There music was and is timeless, soulful and had beautiful arrangements. We are now left with broads singing about dikk sucking of all things it truly is sad. I am a female so I can comment.

Diddy is a b*tch he put those poor Making The Band girls through hell and its okay for Cassie too f*ck up? I seen Amerie on Tyra just now and her untalented ass sh*ts on Cassie, which isn't really making a point, but whatever.

Anyway Musiq what about Mario Vazquez and Cherri Dennis??? You keep making threads about these untalented people like we give a f*ck. When are there albums dropping? I look forward to their music.

Yeah, but I'm clearly not the only person that has a problem with her singing. If 2,000+ signed the petition they must feel the same way I feel. She's cant sing nor dance and is being put on a high pedestal, because of her exotic look and not her talent. Her fans are dummies if they bought that album. She's whack and needs to stick to modeling.

Yeah, actually. Jealous, angry, bitter or some combination thereof.

You sound surprised.

Studies show 1 out of 10 people you know is a hater. Help is out there.

Why are yall fans so made at the truth? Cassie is whack and cant sing. She should continue modeling, she has that eye candy look that will go far, but singing isn't the job for her. No hate, just real talk. She should just let Beyonce, Alicia, and Christina do their job.

Bad Boy's roster is laughable nowadays. Fat faced Yung Joc is trash and Cassie has nothing on Faith or 112.

Funny, the only ones that sound mad are you and the rest of the angry, bitter never-were's. I'm quite ok, thanx.

Now for a reality check. It doesn't reaally matter. People complained that Elvis couldn't sing back in the 50's. Not even a little bit. Michael Jackson can't sing. Neither can Madonna or Janet, but they made HIT records. Signing a petition cuz somebody with a hit record can't sing is the epitome of uslessness.

Next they need to circulate that petition that Rockwell can't sing and "Somebody's Watching Me" shouldn't have blow up. See how much good that does you LOL. The length of Cassie's career is going to depend on how hard she works and who she's got behind her, regardless of how well she can sing. Young people will always buy into a pretty face, a good image, and hype.

When the song comes on, turn the station. You'll save yourself alot of aggrevation.

Well I think MJ can sing, but my views on the rest is, Madonna and Janet can perform and dance, and they both sing pretty okay, but not as bad as Cassie. Cassie can't do neither. She can’t sing, she can't dance, and she cant even perform for her life. She basically talks in all her songs, and has little too no movement on stage. If that’s who ya'll want to support then go right ahead, but I will not be making that untalented marketing scammer pockets richer. She's whack and stop trying to prove me and the 2,000+ people who signed the petition wrong, and also I never cared for the song neither so she definitely go the station turned and channel flipped.

[you know]

1. You think MJ can sing? You need to get out more. Perhaps I should've said "sing well".

2. Prove you wrong? I didnt say you were wrong lol. I said it makes no F'N difference and you're wasting your time hating and/or signing petitions.

3. She's whack huh? Whatever you say kid. Doesn't matter. Whatever she can or can't do, she has a hit record. If she continues to have hit records, she's gonna stick around. If not, it's over. Simple as that.

Wow MJ can sing, but I will not even debate with you about this topic.
I don’t know how I'm hating, because I've been telling nothing but the truth, but if ya'll cant see it in that light, then fine, but I'm entitled to my opinion, just like you.
