Hot. This song has grown on me in a huge way, it's so sweet.

how is that Tiffany Evans album?

The best teen-pop/R&B album I've heard in a long time (not that I hear all that many on a yearly basis).

the pc version of 'no homo'

CORRECT, especially if you add "here, at my job" to that parenthetical.

Tiff Evans' album is pretty good yeah, especially "girl gone wild"

How much longer?????????

I just heard Cassie's version of Official Girl and it basically sucks. The first verse is overly clumsy and her voice sounds weaker than ever. Maybe it would have sounded better to my ears if i hadn't heard Karina's version... Her voice is a lot sweeter to swallow than Cassie's. Tyhe sond itself is bril though.

Cassie's voice is extra weak and her upcoming 'Official Girl' is going to bomb, she has better tracks on the new album like 'Thirsty' and 'Turn The Lights Off' but this is SOOO a thinly veiled attempt to express her like, feelings on her suspect relations/ship with P Diddy/Puffy. She's really hot tho, I'm sure that will work out for her. She's not the new Ciara because she can't dance and doesn't have a constantly successful production team.

*Consistently

RONG
"Her voice is a lot sweeeter to swallow than Cassie's"?
"doesn't have a constantly successful production team"?

"Addiction" >>>> all the Cassie solo records floating around

i dig "addiction," but that's also rong

Cassie's album bombed on a real note, I just think when working with her the production team is inconsistent they don't look at the bigger picture, they focus on one song and hope it'll carry everything else.
Ciara's voice is just as weak.
They're both wrongses.

Was listenin to Thirsty, and maybe it's cos i'm runnin a bit of fever, but for a few precious moments i thought i was listenin to aaliyah.

this thread needs more pictures

official girl pub. photos = hottttttt

sexxy huh guys

her album is titled CONNECTICUT FEVER? 50 gonna be mad he didn't think of that.

^^That picture doesn't properly display the fitness (this is true, great looking woman etc), in that pic she looks like an off duty/desperate crack fiend.
Here's better...

Chick truly has looks on her side, Ciara may look better these days but she's no Cassie. Also am tired of the Aaliyah comparisons, Aaliyah WAS and still is far and beyond different and better to some of the girls coming in the game right now. Some may border on her style but not quite.

she needs to eat something

also ciara >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cassie

ciara looks mad anorexic lately tho, dunno why she lost weight she was looking amazing in the "Promise' video

who's really compared cassie to alliyah?

^Ciara's been signed up for some modelling contract on the side. Apparently thats code for drop a hundred pounds so you look like the protein drip should be your friend.
At first the Aaliyah comparisons where just based around Ciara because 'they dance and sing' but then Cassie came in and people said she was trying to move in on Aaliyah's sound. Just random blogs and stuff there's a lot of hate from Aaliyah fans who think Cassie is dedicated to trying to rip off Aaliyah in terms of style and looks some are super paranoid and think she even moved to NYC to be like Aaliyah (a stretch to say the least)....

WHY ISN'T ANYTHING LEAKING?

i love them both, but cassie > ciara

I'm too distracted by those pics to make a sensible comment.

Lil Wayne version is out.

(honestly, not necessary ;_;)

Bring on the damn leaks ALREADY!

no more leaks - we have enough to comprise the whole thing already, and if they all make it it's album of the year easy - bring on the damn album already! i hunger for PRODUCT

It's better this morning.

hang on did we ever talk about '2 the morning'? that song is so amazing, those cut-up backing vox and lurching beats and disquieting 808 pulses. waitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminuteyeah - everything i do i be makin' them stare...

'official girl' and 'thirsty' both have such awesome middle 8 pay-offs:

and i ain't makin' ultimatums
i'mma tell you like it is verbatim

vs

ooh i got you dreamin', wishin' you was in the deep end
here we could be fully submerged
hmm - i think about it, i doubt it, should make you live without it
and keep you dying of thirst -
i'm just playin' with you!

oh god that ultimatum/verbatim bit is my favorite...also it took me forever to notice: back to back dudes away from my door

parallellllll

Album has been pushed back to early '09 I hear. Makes sense, Cassie can't really compete with all the big names releasing 4Q '08 like Beyonce, Cici, Keri, etc.

What the fuck?! :( She could release all the leaks and still have the best album of the year!

the leaks are good, but 08 has been an excellent year and it's getting even better in the 4Q so....

speaking of leaks a new song "my house" is doing the blog rounds

it's really great. also this 'over it' demo sounds so promising. this really makes me sad.

What the fuck?! :( She could release all the leaks and still have the best album of the year!

YES:

official girl
2 the morning
in love with the dj
sometimes
thirsty
my house
over it
is it you?
turn the lights off

a lot of that stuff is actually pretty good

at least a new pussycat dolls album is coming out

a lot of these are a little same-y to me though

the girl on 'over it' doesn't sound like cassie at all, at least the version i heard.

It's better this morning.

no, you were the right the first time. however, i do approve of young dro on the new '2 the morning' mix.

there are also some good songs that didn't make it to the first album, 'in love with u' especially

however, i do approve of young dro on the new '2 the morning' mix.

holy shit what

a lot of these are a little same-y to me though

she has an aesthetic*, she sticks to it. i admire this! and there are endless subtle variations within it. 'in love with the dj' = every word is truth

*actually she has 2

OMG "Nobody But You" (Prod. by The-Dream)

Love the drums! Not sure about the mixing, but this isn't high-quality.

no, it certainly isnt.

this is pretty good but it's giving me "love in this club" flashbacks
