Coaching Cassie

I got in from Goteborg, dropped the suitcases off and immediately went to Montana Studios to check on Cassie’s rehearsal for her upcoming trip to Japan. You’ll hear me encouraging her to say “Tokyo” and “Konnichiwa”. This will be her first appearance in Asia - I’ve been there before in my college days:

In spite of Cassie’s rigorous schedule (she had been interviewing for 4 hours that day) in preparation for her world press and media tour, she exuded laser focus on excelling and meeting the challenge of earning the respect of the international team at Warner music.

  6. Santo Valentino:

    Doesn’t look like ya’ll have a long way to go anymore ;)

  7. SHERWIN X.L.:

    Once Cassie gets to be one with her music and feels
    the raw power of emotion in it she’ll explode on stage
    I have faith in Ryan”R-LES”Leslie that he’ll get her in
    shape.

  8. David:

    It seems to me that Ryan Leslie is doing everything in his power to promote a talentless artist. I’m sorry but Cassie is an abomination to every true singer out there in this industry. She is nothing more than a pretty face and Ryan is doing everything in his power to try to convince the public otherwise. Get real, if she didn’t look the way that she did trust me she would not be out here. I wondered how talented Ryan would think she was if she looked like India Arie?

  39. MICHEAL:

    GIVING PPL THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT………………..DUE TO HIGH SPECULATION THAT CASSIE CANT SING,HER NEW SINGLE LONG WAY 2 GO,DIDNT BLOW UP OVERNIGHT,LIKE HER 1ST “ME&U”,UMM WONDER WHY?NOW EVEN THOUGHT THIS CLIP JUST SHOWS PRACTICING,I DIDNT SEE ANY KNID OF SPARK IN CASSIE WHILE PRACTICING,NOT EVEN A LITTLE,NOT TO COMPARE BUT NOW WHEN ASHANTI 1ST CAME OUT,PPL GAVE HER HELL,BUT IVE SEEN MANY CLIPS OF TRAINNIG AND BABYGYRL HAS IT,NOW CASSIE, IM HOPING THAT THERE IS AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF VOCAL TALENT SHE HAS,SHE JUST NEED AAAAAAA LOT OF WORK,BUT WITH HER NOT WANTED TO SING ON RADIO LIVE (HOT 97),THAT DOES BRING IN THE VERY QUESTION OF “IS IT HER GOOD LOOKS OR IS CASSIE JUST ANOTHER MILLI VANILLI,ASHLEE SIMPSON WHEN IT COMES TO VOCALS?”BRING IT CASSIE,U CAN DO IT!

  40. shanice shelby:

    cassie when i get 17 and be a singer i am going to look up to you alot because you have a lot of talent and everyone thats talking about you bad is just jealous oh yeah but i got a long way to go beause i’m just 13 years old but i am still not going to give up on my dream.

  41. j.nells:

    all the beats to the songs i’ve heard of hers are real nice. and wells, cassie can’t sing like freakin mariah carey or w/e, but she can sing. better than rihanna in my opinion. JUST SAYING

  42. Korin Azulay:

    The most beatiful talent woman ever :)
    Love u cassie..

  43. ivana golshtein:

    I THINK THAT CASSIE SINGG VERYY NICE AND I LIKE HOW SHE SING I THINK SHE IS THE BESTTTT BRING IT CASSIE,U CAN DO IT!

    LOVE U CASSIE

  44. Erika:

    Did yall forget that Monica came out when she was only 14 years old??? She didn’t sound like that. I’ve seen the TRL and BET performance, and she wasn’t actually performing this time so what’s the excuse now? Ryan, I LOVE your production, you are truly amazing and I know your ear for music and talent is WAY beyond Cassie. Yes she is pretty, but singing is not her thing. And the excuses of not being ready or young isn’t cutting it. Since when does Diddy release albums and put people out there with him feeling like they aren’t ready? Danity Kane went through extensive prepping…where was Cassie’s prepping? If she’s so nervous then she should have worked with someone before her album came out. That’s an excuse. Please wake up and smell the coffee before you are associated with something like this. You are way too talented to be lowering yourself like this. Honestly. Deep down, I know you and Diddy both know the deal.

  45. Andrew James:

    Cassie is an entertainer… a dancer, actress and a model… Monica just had a voice.. and at times did not even have a personality.. I don’t think that we are in any position to criticize. She will grow as an artist.. and needs to have a starting point.. We are watching the development, and the rise of a star… let her rise, don’t criticize.
