The supposed "baddest chick in R&B" gets a 6.5 out of 10 from AHH. OOOOOOOOOOOO. It’s hard to tell exactly what BeyoncĂ© Knowles is trying to prove anymore.

Cassie, who may I remind you or info you for the first time, got her deal by just being able to remember Bigge's verse on Juicy (besides the exterior look she has of course), doesn't have definite final say on her own album. Her own album. But it's gets better. Especially when the movie question comes in? AHHA: What was it like acting on the big-screen [Step Up 2: The Streets]? Cassie: It w...
