      *Within hours of Cassie’s performance of “Me & U” on BET’s “106 & Park” Tuesday, the footage was up on You Tube and being passed around the Internet with folks adding comments about her vocal challenges – to put it nicely. (View clip below.)

      The 19-year-old former model, who celebrated this week’s release of her self-titled Bad Boy album with a bash at Marquee in New York City Wednesday night, is in the midst of a promo tour that also took her to New York radio station Hot 97 earlier in the day.

      According to Vibe.com, the singer was put in the hot seat about gentlemen callers who have come a’knockin’ since her arrival on the music scene. Host Angie Martinez asked if anyone in the industry had tried to get at her yet. To Martinez, and later to host Funk Master Flex, she revealed that Omarion and rapper Bow Wow have both used second parties to get her attention.

       Omarion "didn't do it himself. His little brother came over and gave me his number," she told Flex during his show. "Bow Wow sent his info through somebody too."

      A New London, Connecticut native of Filipino, Mexican, West Indian and black heritage, Cassie also dismissed comparisons to Ciara, stating, “I’m nothing like her,” but later clarifying to a caller that she is “a fan of hers.”

       The Web site also reports that Cassie revealed a little crush on Pharrell when asked who, of anyone in the industry, could “get it.” Flex also asked her to rate several industry dudes on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best.       

       Here were her responses: Ne-Y 7; Omarion: 7; Flava Flav: 2; Bow Wow: 8; Derek Jeter: 5; Jay-Z: 7; Justin Timberlake: 7; Juelz Santana: 6; Dwayne Wade: "I don't know who that is." Yung Joc: 7. "That's because I know him." Young Jeezy: 5; T.I.: 10! "He definitely gets a 10. But, for the record, I exchanged info with his girl. I'm not that type of chick."

       In closing, Cassie told Flex that she was extremely embarrassed by the first video shot for “Me & U,” which features a more sexually explicit depiction of the song and has also popped up on the Internet.
