Cassie – ‘Official Girl (ft. Lil Wayne)’ Video

Published: Saturday 23rd Aug 2008 by Sam

The video for Cassie’s new single ‘Official Girl (ft. Lil’ Wayne)’ premiered on FN’MTV yesterday. Directed by Chris Robinson, the clip is a pretty engaging watch; Bad Boy evidently pumped quite a lot money into this move-esque effort. That said, I’m still not sold on the Danja produced song…just doesn’t move me.

What do you think of the video?

    Personally… I think this is a big step up for her…
    Me and You… The song was hot but the video was wack… And she was so stiff…
    Long Way to Go was hot too… but she was still stiff…
    This song is insane and the fashion was on point and he dancing was way on point…
    Though I’m not the biggest fan of her… She did slightly convince me on this song and video…

  4. Julie-Rose August 23, 2008

    Sam i know why you arent sold on this version its coz cassie KILLED and rolled around in this poor effort, Karian Pasian Gave the song life check out her version… does Danja and The Clutch justice

    im likin the way she`s steppin up her game ..
    video is totally wt i expected . ive watched it quite a lot since it premiered !! cassie aint a brilliant top singer , but she got her own style which is what i like . and the fact tht she knows she messed up before and is steppin out to do better instead of hidin away is all good ..

    hope it all goes down well for her ..

    ps : sumthin very Aaliyah-esque bout her/this video .
    no disrespeezy

    Beckham, Paige and Beyonce for Olympics handover ceremony

    Aug 23rd, 2008 | By Sindh Today | Category: Olympics, Sports
    Beijing, Aug 23 (IANS) Football superstar David Beckham will kick the handover ball Sunday at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics when China passes on the reins to Britain for the 2012 London Olympics.

    London officials revealed plans and the details of the eight-minute slot, which includes cyclists Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and Shanaze Reade.

    Also performing at the ceremony will be musicians Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis, and singer Beyonce Knowles.

    Three dance groups – the Royal Opera House, street dance theatre group Zoo Nation and CandoCo, a contemporary dance company of disabled and non-disabled dancers – will also put up a show, reported the China Daily.

    London’s gig at the closing will start with a symbolic red London double-decker bus driving around the Bird’s Nest chased by Hoy, Pendleton and Reade on their bikes.

    When the bus slows down near a symbolic bus stop, the three groups of dancers will surround it. Then the bus will transform itself, with the top half folding down in segments to show a hedge cut into shapes of the London skyline with landmarks such as the Tower Bridge, Battersea Power Station and the parliament, according to reports in British media.

    English pop singer Leona Lewis will emerge from the roof to sing a song and then guitarist Page appears to perform with Lewis a new version of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’.

    As the song nears its end, Beckham will stand on another lift with a British girl and kick a football into the crowd, switching everyone’s attention to the handover party outside Buckingham Palace.

    ‘We will not compete with the (Chinese) ceremony, it will be simple, youthful, athletic, loud and proud like London, entertaining and fun,’ said Bill Morris, Culture, Events and Education chief of the 2012 London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG), at a media conference.

    Chairman of the LOCOG Sebastian Coe said the handover will mark the start of Britain’s four-year ‘cultural Olympiad’.

    I mean the video did NOT make me liek the song more. But I do like the song. Maybe a top 40/30 hit for Cassie

    Am i the only the that see Aaliyah all over this video. Especially the dance scenes??? Kinda haunting. With that said nice video, I preferr the Karian version. But the video was nice. Wish they would spend just as much on DK or Day 26

  11. Anonymous August 23, 2008

    it was alright but karinas version is way better. Bad Boy did put more money into the video but to bad they wont see any of it returned. How about putting that money into artist that are actually good and have or will have number 1 albums? just a thought.

  12. Anonymous August 23, 2008

    Listen, all this means is that cassie makes a good video girl so maybe thats what she should do! Im sorry but no amount of good looks deserve you a record deal, you gotta be able to sing, naomi campbell tried that crap years ago and it didn’t work its almost like saying good looks can buy you a pass to anything and were buying into that. Somebody please take me back to the early – mid 90’s when it was all about the music! talented artists can’t make a buck today because the focus is about dancing and good looks, all the things you can’t see when you put a cd in the stereo

    i like the video better than the song… ohh and them white strapped boots at the beggining of the video latin pop sensation THALIA wore them first in here video for her single “TEN PACIENSIA” then it was TYRA BANKS on a promo pic for “americas next top model” and now its cassie…. she still looks good tho…

    this video didn’t help me like this song at all. cassie looks cute tho. gorgeous girl. i think she just needs to call it a wrap as far as music goes. if she wasn’t so pretty she’d be a nobody. we all know it.

  25. Anonymous August 23, 2008

    Well, clearly she doesn’t have much vocal ability but this is definitely a step in the right direction for her. She looks fly (of course) and the video is on point. I still think that she should stick to modeling but I’ll give her a try.

    I am glad, however that she is not letting the negativity from the past get to her anymore. She’s doin’ her thang and I congratulate her!

  26. LadyVicious August 23, 2008

    She is very good visual artist (aka model) but that’s it. People may call me a hater or whatever but THE GIRL CAN NOT SING! She talks/ whispers and it’s sad but that’s the truth and puffy should be ashamed of himself for even allowing her on payroll. On the positive note I liked the video and I’m sorry Sam but I think that the beat is hot it was just wasted on a stupid song.

    Karina version is not better… r voice is freakin deep like a man i prefer cassie soft whisper

    especially how she try to move.
    i like Cassie but damn all i could keep thinking about was aaliyah in htis video.

    people you hatin’on her, but rihanna cant sing either and that b**** is broke!

    Cassie is smart and has diddy
    Rihanna has chris brown now, but we all know that diddy is the man and chris brown is just a b-class artist.

    And for the part of aaliyah stop it people. shes just trying something different and today everybody makes videos like that artist and like that artist. let aaliyah rest in peace you haters.

    Let cassie do her thing people.

    Ok, the girl flat out can’t sing to save her life. However, she is pretty. So, I guess what i’m saying is, i’m not feeling this song. The visuals of the video are hot, but a pretty girl shouldn’t equate to a record deal. She should model.

    f*** that lame ass h**!!! i dont care if yall think im hatin or not she is tooooo skinny first of all and second its funny how she is strippin the whole video lookin like a lil boy. her voice is terrible diddy awt to be ashamed of himself for thinkin she’s the one!!!!! and if she had real voice she would’nt have to show us her narrow ass!!!!

  39. Kenshiro August 23, 2008

    Mannnn… get over that Aaliyah crap already.. im one of Baby Girl’s biggest fans (still) and thats some b*******.. yeah she kinda resembles her.. but thats her look.. yea she kinda got her swag, but that natural its not like she is trying she been had it.. she just more developed now.

    Other then that, this is a hot song.. hot production, hot penning, good singing, NOT GREAT, but not average either Its good.. Karina’s was Great which might make this one sound average but thats only cause Karina is a f*****’ monster.

    The video, is hot.. no doubt about it.. there’s money in the vid. u can smell it but i gotta give Cassie props for making it worth the time, money and effort, cause she’s representing. I didnt like her from the get.. but she’s growing on me and i’m slightly starting to respect her as an artist. IF it isnt for her talent, its definetly for her effort and consistent growth over the past 1,5 year. She’s one to watch… and if im totally honest.. Cassie’s voice is much more pleasant to me then CIARA’S… now y’all can hate and curse me out for that comment !! Bring it.. !!

    Holla,

    i guess this was an ode to diddy? too bad she wont be official…

    anyway – i guess they hired fatima, cuz YES the choreo was VERY aaliyah (for those that dont believe, please youtube ‘we need a resolution’ and ‘are you that somebody’)

    karina has a much stronger voice – i almost dont believe cassie on this. and i took it as an excuse to show her off in her bathing suits…

    its ‘cute’.

  41. Anonymous August 23, 2008

    I’m not too crazy about the song.. Maybe if Cassie were a good singer then maybe.. The video was okay… Chris Robinson is a good video director.. but I still doubt I would buy Cassie’s album.. I’m just not feelin’ her..

    Slow news today, Sam?

    About the song, it’s about as useless as Cassie is.

    Have u heard KARINA PASSIANS version of this same song. it sounds way better. u should post it up. KARINA PASIAN (i think thats how to spell it)

  44. Anonymous August 24, 2008

    Lol the 1st thing i thought was Aaliyah as well… glad i’m not the only 1. No the song isn’t up to much but she looks AMAZING, not bad choreography either. Very good video tho – she definately has ‘IT’ call it the x factor wotever, pity about the voice. Eager to see wot the album has to offer as I really enjoyed her debut.

    Lil Wayne’s verse makes being an ‘official girl’ synonymous with w****.

    I like the song, but these vocals are terrible. Cassie looked on point in the video but why the hell is she stripping and taking pictures with her phone???

  51. Anonymous August 24, 2008

    im on two sides of the fence. the song is hot, great production, and the beats are sick. the video is also really good. you can tell they spent some money on it.

    however they are using s** to market this poor girl. this was damn near soft core p***. her ass cheeks were hanging out and she had on panties and a braw or a two piece in every scene expcept the one where she had on that repeat number from the bet awards which looked like they cut it to make it even shorter. and then when little wayne says he wants to “kiss you on your little..” she’s unbuttoning her jeans. this is just way too much s**, she looks like a video w****. of course the guys are going to like this. and some girls cuz the fashion was sick. but she sold her soul, and still wont blow up.

    100% BETTER!!!!!!!!! Go Cassie! Let all the haters know….. You’re way too pretty to be wack! Everybody deserves a second chance! Get’em girl! I met Ms. Cassie in Miami too, she’s a sweet heart too! So there! TAKE THAT TAKE THAT TAKE THAT! I’m tired of being “UNOFFICIAL” TOO!

    Aaliyah saw Cassie needed some swag so she sent her some of hers. Cause everytime I saw her dance, her style, or looked at her mannerism all I saw was Aaliyah.

    This looks like a ‘Diddy’ situation – man in the office, wants to be officially his. Anybody else agree?
