Now we all know that Cassie can’t sing to save her life.  After being ridiculed for her disastrous live performances.  She doesn’t care what you think, she says that she is no Aretha Franklin but yet she defends her vocal skills. Cassie tells All Hip Hop:

“I think more than anything, people were mean. I couldn’t ask for things to go any other type of way. I don’t regret how it went, and there was a reason why that happened. But at the same time I have to take the blow for it,” 

“That was my own fault for not being prepared and not saying anything to anyone when I knew that I wasn’t. I’ve gone in with my vocal coach.”

She added,

“I’ve made it clear to people that I’m not Aretha Franklin. They’re going to see me perform and entertain, but they’re not going to see my blow. I wouldn’t ever take credit for anything like that. It’s just not what I do. I’ve gone in and have tried to develop it. Either running on the treadmill and singing and doing whatever I have to do to prove to people because second chances are rare. I’ve definitely gotten one, so I’m going for it. I’m going for mine.”

Well we are assuming that her second chance comes with tagging along behind Diddy.  Cause she d@mn sure doesn’t compare to Aretha.

Aretha vs. Tina

Old Diva Beef:

We All know that “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin was very displeased after Beyonce called Tina Turner “The Queen” in a tribute on the Grammy Awards.  Well now, Aretha is fuming over remarks made by Tina her “arch nemesis”. 

Tina, who is currently on tour commented in a very recent interveiw:

 ”She’s the queen of soul, and I’m the queen of rock ‘n’ roll. There were so many kings and queens there that night. Her ego must be so big to think she was the only one.”

[laughing] “That’s how queens are!”

Well “Queen Franklin” did not find it funny. 

“clearly was talking about herself” [in terms of ego].

“I never figured her to resort to tacky press just to sell a few tickets,” says Franklin, who adds she has never met Turner. “I really had put her in a different class — higher than that. No one has been more gracious … to their peers than I have, and I am confident and secure enough to do so, unlike some others.”

Tina reportedly isn’t talking about it anymore…
