It’s been six long years since Cassie almost ended her career with “that” performance on BET’s 106 & Park.
Imagine, then, our surprise when the legendary nocalist returned to that very stage today to perform new single ‘King of Hearts’.
Did she redeem herself? The answer awaits after the jump…
Ms. Ventura lip-synced for life, easily rendering the performance her best vocal showing to date.
Yet, unlike her voice, “stage presence” and “”authentic talent” can’t be pre-prepped. Hence, while not as tragic as her 2006 outing, the performance still lacked everything needed to justify why she still has a record contract. I mean, I’ve seen games of double-dutch more exciting. No bueno.
Your thoughts?

She’s not lip synching you idiot!! She’s singing along with the track. You can even hear her slight adlibs…when she bends the note. She did fine! When you DO hear her singing voice over the track, it actually sounds nice. Maybe you should listen better before being soooo quick to bring hoes down!!!

SHE WAS NOT LIP SYNCING. THAT GRAPE JUICE YALL ARE LYING! Just cause she’s not Beyonce doesn’t mean she’s bad, that’s why you guys are so fucking biased.
ON a different note… If Rihanna could dance like she could then she probably would have a better career and more fans.

Cassie totally redeemed herself from her first performance. You are a hater straight up. For one, she didn’t lip synch so I’ll take that as a compliment towards Cassie. And two, she’s grown so much as an artist and this performance proved that. Her dancing was slick and not over choreographed, and that break down towards the end was the hotness. Cassie is back and in a loud way. Get ready, sntiches! Get ‘em Cass!

So she really must be releasing an album? Who would have thunk it?!I don’t think she technically was lip synching, she was live singing over a loud backtrack and other artists do the same. I don’t love that but whatever. If she gets more performance time on stage she could get better. She should go as an opener for someone after her album comes out and just put in work.

Okay, i’m not sure if she’s “singing” live or lip-syncing over a live recorded track but either way she shouldn’t have bothered because this song actually requires no vocal talent what so ever. As for the dancing…. it was K. She seemed to get more confident as the crowd cheered her on, but to be honest it was all a bit lacklustre . I’m sure all those who like there music with extra e numbers, sugar and colouring will love this

Sooooo I just watched both performances: “King Of Hearts” and “Me & U.”
They bot hwere terrible. Seriously she doesn’t even exude the attitude liek she wants to be there, let a lone be performing!
I understand her not being that good (which is an understatement) during her “Me & U” performance, but WTFFFFFFFFFFF, she still is not that much better 6 years later. EMBARASSING!
Still think the song “King Of Hearts” is such a flop too. “Official Girl” was her best single she has released post debut, even the version w/out Lil Wayne… and that song failed to chart.
ItS SUCH A SHAME, that Diddy will keep her signed to Bad Boy (which in all reality is nothing to be that grateful about), BUUUUUTTTTT not sign ALL of the Danity Kane girls, especially someone like Aubrey O’Day who coudl easily make Diddy tons of money if he promoted her as much as he has Cassie.
Really tho, even quiet, married Shannon from Danity Kane, is a better dancer, singer, and overall packaged deal than Cassie. SUCH A SHAME, she needs to be dropped. Diddy her ass will remain a 1 HIT WONDER, deal with it, damn!

rihanna’s Brit’s performance alone shit on this one above left and right and in Between ,

, JAY-z is making her the next cash-cow and the gurl ain’t slowing , i’m seeing her in VEVO a lot as of late and she’s cool.
:
i like RITA and i know she gonna be Big and i’m supporting her cuz she’s Cool and talented , not as Big/cool/fresh as rihanna , but at least i know she gonna be in a better place than your cASSie ….
back to cASSie simply she should go to Tom ford and ask him to hire her as a model” maybe she should suck his cock first ” and she can call it a day.
but she need to grow her hair first. cuz she lookin like a shaved lab rat with it. so bad she can’t pull it off like Rihanna
