Ciara has finally delivered the first televised performance of the ‘Basic Instinct’ era! The entertainer hit the stage on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ to perform the Soundz-produced ‘Gimme Dat’. Look below for all the action:
O Glory! Finally…finally! Ciara killed that performance like only she can. With tight choreography, sex appeal and striking confidence she gave the kind of showing that she needed at this point in her promotion.
Hopefully, this won’t be too little too late for Ciara, though, because she has a lot of competition on the charts this week. I feel a praise break coming on…

YeaMy baby killed it
Yes she killed it’s about time she performed good job ci
LOL AT THE GIF
Ciara killedthat performance. That’s her best live dance vocal performance ever. Someone get her a good team, she could be so huge. I’m so proud of her for going hard
I loooooved this performance. Vocals were a little out of there but it gave me everything else!!! Slayed!
UGGGHHHHHH! soo good. that’s what she needs to bring every single time she performs. im hoping she delivers the rest of her performances consistently on the level she did on the ellen show. hopefully we see her heavily promoting through to the end of the year & into 2011. go cici!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
that was hot!
flopppppppppppppppppppppp rihanna is the best performer…hater stop hating
Ciara!!!!!! she killed it!!! althugh the mic sounded low quality she still delivered!!
I gotta say this and i wont hold back……
OHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH !!!
That was AMAZING!!! GET EM CICI!!!!!
“CHHH” U MAAAAAD AS HELL LMAOO
YASSSSSS Ciara murked this performance
ciara is harlem
beyonce is hollywood
and clearly ciara is not welcome in
HOLLYWOOD LOL
i ain’t mad she did her thing!
WTFFFFFF! That was crazzzzzzzy! Hate all ya’ll want, but this girl can do 4,000 or 400,000 – she’s still better than Keri, Rihanna, Katy, and all these average h***! Hands down! Ya’ll are lying if you think that any of these lames have even half of this fire on stage!
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
If she would have started this a few months back there would have been a bigger buzz for her album. She definitely is a great performer and I am so happy to hear her voice has gotten a lot better! She better learn from this experience and come harder next time! Go CiCi!
SHE DID THAT! BUT STILL DONT LIKE THE SONG! SMDH!
ANYWHO….OFF TOPIC BUT…… TRENT AND SAM:
ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A POSTIING OF HOW RIHANNA’S TOUR IS SELLING OUT FAST , 10 MONTHS B4 THE KICK OFF ? LOL!
BELGIUM , NORWAY, UK, FRANCE = SOLD OUT
now THAT is dancing
She will NEVER… Be on Beyonce’s level of delivering a TOP NOTCH QUALITY performance… Let’s see her go on a world tour by herself… performing for 2 hours and still sounds amazing. I bet she gonna open up for Rihanna’s “Loud Goat” tour…
she killed it……………………. so goo!!
gi: “i whip my hair back and forth” LOoL
YASSS! praise the gods!
Finally
LMFAO at the gif
Her vocals has def gotten better over the years. Now I wanna see cici and usher perform.
OMG.
I smell one of the BIGGEST FLOPS of the year!!!
I do hope so that Trent will write about Ciara’s flop that awkwardly, like he did about Christina Aguilera… and he will stop the double standard, that killed this blog this year.
Hahahah praise break 🙂
I know that’s right!!!! that’s my girl….shes so talented a true mini Janet!!…..she never disappoints with a performance that’s 4 sure
YES SLAY CIARA SLAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciara’s stage presence is WAYYY better than Rihanna’s! I [LOVED] all the male dancers (maybe its cuz i’m gay as hell). And Trent, ten’s across the board for this praise break .GI! Had me ROLLIN’ over here!!
She killed it. But Janet is still my girl. But go CiCI!!!!
She did a amazing job! It is long over due….I see this helping her sells in the future but idk about 1st week we will see. In the long run I think this album would do better than Fantasy Ride and if promoted good can end up somewhere around evolution stats. She really needs to go in on every performance possible and prep another single & video soon.
Ummm am I the only one who thinks she lipsynced this?
Still a stellar performance though…
must be a cheap bufget after how many years is the game and still using backup track for every performance. get band
I’m glad she has been taking class at the Ms. Jackson School of Entertainment! She has improved 20x since goodies her dancing, singing, even breathe control….I know they are editing it so you can’t hear her breathe real heavy but even so goodies area she started every performance out of breathe lol….but now she is really on it!
this album will not do better than fantasy ride and fantasy ride sold 200.000
if that song she did with justin didn’t help fanstasy ride how can basic instinct which has no hits in the real world I said real world because RNB chart doesn’t count sell better than fantasy ride .
Janet Jackson Wannabe….Next!
to the asshole above both monica and fantasia pushed 100k with no hits
She killed it!! her singing and dancing outweighs any females thats hitting the stage right now!! She still wont slay Beyonce but Beyonce aint out yet so for right now we have Ciara <3
FIRST THOUGHT WAS SHE SHOULD HAVE PERFORMED AT THE BORING AMA’S AND VMA’S AWARDS WITH A BIG PRODUCTION. SHE WOULD HAVE SHUT THE PLACE DOWN!!!!
WAS NOT HER FALUT THOUGH AS THESE AWARDS SHOWS FAVOUR SOME STARS OVER OTHERS.
SHE KILLED IT!!! YOU HAVE TO RESPECT NO MATTER HOW HER SALES ARE GOING TO BE SHE IS ENTERTAINING. HAS STAGE PRESENCE AND SHE WAS SINGING LIVE.
THE BEST R’N’B DANCING FEMALE.
^Miss Impartial, I actually agree with all that you’ve said for once! Spot on!
CiCi has shown sooooooo much GROWTH with the performance.. 20x.. ive watched this maybe 4 times already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing.. Im hoping this album does well!
Dead @ the haters. After everything’s said & done: Her multi-talents > Her bank account > Her > Her Louboutin sneakers >> Her hair flips > U . She will ALWAYS be that CHICK, end of.. Like RoyalKev said, she can sell 4,000-400,000k, but she will still be better than these average ho’s out here. Ciara be GETTIN it INN! Point blank..
I have to agree with the majority on this….SHE KILLED IT!!!! But I would be lying if I didnt say that this performance may not help her first week sales but I think her album will do fairly well in the long run. I wish her the best of luck with this project!
Performance was great, vocals as usual were TERRIBLE
*frostwiring this h** then leaking it everywere ;] haha c-error
~RIHANNA LOUD ITUNES NOW~ <– REal music
~kELIS fLESH TONES ITUNES NOW~ <– REAL MUSIC
@xedos dude, put that negative energy into a career your own instead downing this woman. i haven’t even seen the performance yet, but evidently she killed it, cuz you pulling all type of BS out you ass to distract the fact that she did the damn thing.
BE A FAN, BUT PUT AN END TO “STANS” IN 2011!!! IT’S ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYBODY IN THE GAME.
she has come a long way from performing 1 2 step on ellen its ashame her team is so half assed but i love her
damn ci just damn ok i live ilive after this performance no matter what people say about this girl but i they will never b able to to take away her talent for entertain thats for sure and i can still see this album doing well in the long run
DEAD AT RIRIH JEALOUS STANS LIKE ALWAYS
SHE KILLS THAT S*** LIKE IT WAS XTIMAS NIGHT …DEAD AT RIRIH XFACTOR LAME B*******
@sg3
i agree i support b rih,and ci and anybody else who makes great music….
and even though lsm was a top 10 hit that is what destroyed her because it wasnt her sound and she was seen dancing in heels etc many people were turned off because they felt it wasnt ciara that they had grown to love and then the beyonce comparsion came along..im just saying ride was a bigger hit for her because it brought her core back etc..ride ai 48 -50 million lsm peaked at 39 ai.lsm just had digital sales over ride bcuz of jt which is why it was bigger so actually ride was the bigger hit it had impact and lasting power yall gotta step out of this blog life nd smell the fresh air
SHE KILLED IT!!!
~~
Support Ms Kelly!
Ciara is amazing. One of THE most underrated artists out there.
She killed that performance, vocals , stage presence and the dancing!!
EVERYTHING!!
@ROBERT
BEYONCE HAS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR 12 YEARS AND CIARA IS NOW 5.
BEYONCE IS MORE EXPERIENCED THAN HER.
ANYWAY YOU CAN NOT SEE BEYONCE DANCING AS MUCH AS CIARA.
BEYONCE FAVOURS SOME DANCING AND SINGING AND CIARA LIKES TO DANCE HARD CORE AND SINGING.
BEYONCE VOCALLY >>>>CIARA
CIARA DANCING>>>>>>BEE
CIARA’S PERFORMANCES ARE ON CHRIS AND USHER LEVEL.
wowwww luv it! Go cici
the dancing was ok, there was too much stomp though. wtf was that tap dance? and she sang maybe 1:00 minute of the whole song, which by the way is a bad song. yes she can dance and look hot, but she has no star quality. i just finished watching the video and already i forgot what she did.
she just doesnt have IT.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
SHE F****** SLAYYYED
Beyonce could never!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG MY B**** KILLED IT (period)
I must say cici killed it, however, I wish she had started live performances the week prior to the album released would put her ass at number one.
I predicted her album will be number 3 with 122,000 sold first week. diddy got number 1, michael number 2, r.kelly number 4
Sorry foR my french I FUCKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN LOVED DAT SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT GIMME MORE!!!! THATS WHAT WE WANT FROM HER
I ALSO AGREE
CIARA IS UNDERRATED IN THE INDUSTRY =/

CIARA IS LOVED AND THIS ALBUM WILL SHOCK PPL SALES WISE..AND SHE IS SELLING LIKE MAD OVERSEAS SO SHE AINT NO FLOP BOO
i bet yall dont see Frankie from Jungle Boogie, ABDC, as one of her dancers!!
&^^^^,omgggg i do!!
PRE-RECORDED VOCALS! We all know Ciara can’t dance and sing at the same time…Baby girls vocals werent even out of breath…Yeah, pre-recorded vocals
Great performance but what’s up with her management? Ciara should’ve been on every talk show PERFORMING like this leading up to the release of her CD.
That was flawless!!
wouaouh! she is on point!!! she killed it!!! great performance
Lmfao so of these comments are a messss.
Clearly the hate for Ciara comes from hate within.
Ciara shits on every body who does it today…. Beyonce could NEVER.
Yes Bey’s vocals s*** on the game but when will she do that?
Oh okay. Rihanna? Ch.
Lmfao smh.
YES, CIARA KILLED IT!!! WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY!! SHE LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! LOL
dead @ pre-recorded vocals. Go sit yo ass in timeout, whoever said that
completely agree, ciara is massively underrated
GO OUT AND BUY HER ALBUM BASIC INSTINCT – MONEY WORTH SPENT!!
LOVE HER
yea one time for my baby daddy Otheus…….great performance guys
YES! AMAZING!
Go Cici!
CLEARLY this was prerecorded vocals AND this song sucks. Awful.
@T-vince
December 15, 2010 at 6:46 pm
I must say cici killed it, however, I wish she had started live performances the week prior to the album released would put her ass at number one.
I predicted her album will be number 3 with 122,000 sold first week. diddy got number 1, michael number 2, r.kelly number 4
———————————————————————-
ciara wont debut at 3, when SuBo is still rocking, taylor swift, jackie, so i see cici maybe out of the top 10 or even top 20
Whoever mentioned pre-recorded vocals is an idiot!
That performance was amazing. We all know she is going to flop, but give credit where it is due. HER DANCING WAS UNBELIEVABLE! No one, and I mean no one can dance as good as her. She has come a long way from dancing and singing out of breath. She sounded fairly amazing too given she was dancing!
If she had started this promotion back in April, we ALL know she wouldn’t have flopped. I blame her management. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with her label these following weeks.
Its about damn time that she did a performance…………and I f****** love it!
@T-vince
Deluded f**, Ci-error isn’t going to sell no 122K nor will she see the top 5 and MAYBE not the top 10 either.
R. Kelly is shitting on the iTunes charts right now and I heard he’s selling out in stores right now.
1. R. Kelly
2. MJ
The rest are going to flop regardless.
Especially, Ci-error.
Too bad she didn’t release this album when “Ride” was on fire. Plus, she waited too late to promote. Instead of fooling around with so-called “socialite friends,” she should have been promoting the hell out of BI a month or so before the album dropped.
I like Ciara, but BI isn’t gonna sell like anything.
she slayed damn she looks fly gotta love cici amazing dancing
@I HATE CIARA (FLOP STINK) AND what exactly is wrong with Harlem????
any ways Ciara Killed it LOVED THIS; boo sorry i didnt buy the whole album only the 4 tracks i did like
I think Ciara is amazing…You don´t know what is good.
In Slovakia we havent got any good singers. Hiips..sorry..We have got good Hip Hop Artist.
“Rytmus” ….
Ciara is great..she can dance,she is so pretty, and she can sing.
Everybody in Slovakia listen Americian music!!..And we all love CIARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should be proud of your artists….
Very good really really good
AS USUAL THE DELUSIONAL CERROR STANS ARE OUT TO PLAY. ALL THIS STANNING ON TGJ AND THE BLOGS BUT YALL AINT BUYING YA GURL ALBUM, RIHANNA MONTH OLD ALBUM LOUD JUST PASSED BASIC INSTINCT ON ITUNES. SHAME, SHAME ,SHAME. AND OF COURSE THIS IS A TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE. WHY DO U THINK CERROR WILL NEVER HEADLINE HER OWN WORLD TOUR? SHE CAN T SING!
u could feel the energy even through the computer
Good Performance…didn’t care for the song.
@GIMMIE DAT FLOP
Isn’t funny how Rihanna stans always compare her sale to Ciara and Keri.
This is to make her seem so huuge.
You woud not compare her sales to Brit, Bee and Christin!!! As you are well aware of the stats!! Loll
Ciara killed the performance like always and her album is solid…best entertainer out period…and must I add I got a chance to see her in atl at mall for cd signing and pictures and I’m not saying this because I’m a die hard fan…I give credit where it is due no matter what…tv doesn’t do Ciara any justice..she is beautiful on tv but you have to see her in person…she’s even more gorgeous…she isn’t as thin as people think either..her weave was on point everything was on point…I ain’t gay by any means but this chick is s*** as hell..can’t hate..and for u haters who come on here posted those whack comments look so stupid because if you weren’t a fan or sumwhat not interested in her y the hell do u waste you time coming here…exactly u haters love her and r fans in disguise u idiots
@ Gimme that flop… It’s really not about the numbers. I know everyone always make it seem like that’s all that matters. Some people only stan for artist that are successful, instead of being a fan of talent. Sales do not earn my respect. I will be the 1st to point out what my favs accomplish, if someone’s knocking them – but if they aren’t selling and I like their God given gift then I stand behind them! People are so obsessed with someone staying underneath their favs that they don’t even look at any other artist with special abilities. I love my favorites and I always will, but it doesn’t mean that I have to have these insecurities and feel threatened about anyone taking their place or gaining on them! It’s no big deal, some of you may not like her music. One person said that they only brought 4songs, that’s okay! That person was very respectful. All the other people posting 8 times, changing their names to mock Ciara and just hating like their apart of a rivals street team and on a payroll just really puzzles me. I love honesty, but some people are drenched in hate and it just comes across as something too personal. It is what it is, but people bring it down! Relax! It’s not that serious! i talk slick sometimes, but to attack an artist relentlessly everyday is insane!
Yess : She killed it : btw her CD Basic Instinct is Hawt :
IF anyone think this performance was not good is a plain old HATER *straight up
IT WAS REALLY GOOD, but I just feel people are not interested in this album…I will buy the cd, I LOVE her, BUT I have had it for free already & still have not played it because it just seems sooo BLAH! UGH I LUV CIARA THO!
pls pls n pls….yal keep dissing cici atleast shes got d fame n talent, u guyz should keep commenting while she gets her moni
dont compare CICI wv anyone shes so incredibly different.
She killed this performance, as usual. Her vocals may have a been weak but she came through with the dancing and stage presence. She, unlike other female artists (who just walk across the damn stage along with lackluster vocals) knows how to BRING IT!
The songs I’ve heard so far suck so I wont be buying this album. Maybe next time CiCi 😉
YESSSSSSSSSSS CIARA. OMG I love her. THis performance let us know she hasnt forgotten whats shes known for and improved. I love her so much.
Was good song doesnt keep up with the visual
Great performance but the beat and the flow are wayyyyyyy too JANET-ish circa ‘NASTY’ era.
Nice try though.
Ummmm she is projected to sell 35-40K
http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPage.cgi?news08337m01
I have NOTHING against Ciara but…..LMAO!!!
I EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT I AM SO PROUD OF HER SHE IS A GREAT PERFORMER IM BUY BASIC INSTINCT THIS WEEK !!!!
Y’all talk so much s*** but cant buy Rihanna’s album opening week SMH Yall should be ashamed 🙁

THANK YOU! Pure comedy 😆

@ BEY BISHES
HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET THAT LOUD WILL OUT SELL BDAY AND I AM SASHA FIERCE? AT THE RATE RIHANNA IS GOING SHE WILL BE AT 3 MILLION SOLD BY FEBRUARY AT THE LATEST.

how much album rihanna sold in the us..her album been out for 6 weeks now and she still aint reach taylor swift 1st week sale yet so wats ur point @therealnicky
well ciara performance was outstanding from the start to the end i bet if she had open up the vma and ama she would’ve been the highlight of the night
yasssss Cici!!!! ahhh!!! that was great!!!! yet another performance that Ciara killed! GIMMIE DAT!
thats was a performance!
What is the song about? I wish they gave her better lyrics to sing because the song is garbage. The dance routing was good and I am glad she is promoting her new album. If they released her song with Usher that would be a hit.
I remember when singers were judged by their talent and not numbers. If we did not able to see the projected figures would you consider her a flop? I would have to say no. Even though i am not a fan of her vocals i love seeing her entertain. i believe those figures should be kept behind the scene and for her label’s eyes only. My point is how can one say she is a flop in one breath and then say she is the best entertainer present? I support her because if she is not around any more i won’t beable to see her dance
“Dead @ the haters. After everything’s said & done: Her multi-talents > Her bank account > Her > Her Louboutin sneakers >> Her hair flips > U . She will ALWAYS be that CHICK, end of.. Like RoyalKev said, she can sell 4,000-400,000k, but she will still be better than these average ho’s out here. Ciara be GETTIN it INN! Point blank..”
I agree! She can entertain! I haven’t really liked the material that she has been releasing lately, but she knows how to put on a show on stage. I wish that some of these other artists would put effort into having a great performance, but you know what? A person has to be born with that talent, it cannot be learned.
This was a Solid performance from Ciara it is ashamed that this is the beginning of her promotion for her album.
FYI: Keri Hilson this is how you work a stage!
“What is the song about? I wish they gave her better lyrics to sing because the song is garbage. The dance routing was good and I am glad she is promoting her new album. If they released her song with Usher that would be a hit.”
I agree.
I can’t wait for the next two weeks to see if Rihanna will really hit the 2 million mark. Her stans says she will hit the 2 million mark in 6 weeks, I will be checking her numbers on media traffic, because I don’t trust the numbers that her stans are putting out. Right now state-side Rihanna is at 495,000, billboard reported that she did 71,000 this week. Last week she was at 949,000 WW, media traffic will release WW sales tomorrow, she will have to do 300,000 WW to get to 1.2 million, it is possible, but we shall see. Another thing her last tour did not do well, billboard release top grossing tour which included US and WW dates, and her 65 date tour did not even make 28 million, so before the STANS start making all these predictions on how much she is going to sell remember her last album only sold 2.8 million WW, and her tour we all know how that went. Not hating, just stating facts. Ciara killed that performance…did not like to song, but overall very good performance.
The girl CANNOT sing. good dancing though
YEA CIARA!!!! Go GIT ‘EM!!!!!!!
Very nice choreography.
Ugh! Now see THIS is what she should have been doing for months! Damn her team sucks ass! After a performance like this I think even I would have went out an bought her wack as album (cause it is wack)! She definitely could have gotten some sales if she had performed like this at say the AMA’s or VMA’s or GMA or the Today Show, or something! Anything damn! Ellen is alright, but I think it is lil to late now. SMH.
I’ll admit, I don’t like this song at all, but this performance would defintely make me pay attention to her. SHe never disappoints when she hits the stage….as far as her dancing goes. She is truly an entertainer. She is like a modern day Janet, she could be huge right now if she had the right material and better management!
Since she is not the best singer, performing is where she shines. She can definitely hold your attention during a performance. I don’t believe Ciara writes her own material so she really relies on hot song writers to write hot ish for her. If they aren’t providing hot ish for her than she will fail. All the hot performances in the world won’t equal sales if the material isn’t hot!
Keri is still gonna sell more than her though.
@ PAM
IF YEW’RE WAITING FOR RIHMEDIAL TEW HIT 2 MILLION YEW WILL BE WAITING A WHILE…{DIRECTS YEW TEW @CHARTNEWS via TWITTER}
@CHARTNEWS @deniyiv Sorry. 949k is Loud ww sales.
about 8 hours ago via web in reply to deniyiv
THE RIH STANS WOULD HAVE US TEW BELIEVE THAT RIHANNA IS SELLING OUT TOURS AND HITTING PLATINUM WORLD WIDE IN 2 DAYS, BUT REMEMBER THESE ARE THE SAME STANS WHO ON THIS VERY SITE CLAIMED GGGB SCANNED 12 MILLION UNTIL RIH HERSELF SPILLED THE TEA ON THAT. ITS 9 MILLION.
ANYHOW…
BACK TEW THE TOPIC
I WAS GONNA ADDRESS THE HATERS BUT SURPRISINGLY THERE AREN’T MANY AND THE FEW THAT STAY DELUDED HAVE ALREADY BEEN TREATED CORTESY OF @MISS IMPARTIAL (HEY GIRL) AND ROYALKEV!
ANYWHO…IM NOT HERE FOR THESE 1ST WEEK SALES. CAUSE WE KNOW CIARA WILL OUTSELL KANDI, DIDDY, TANK AND POSSIBLE KELLS IN THE LONG RUN.
BIBLE INSTINCT HAS BEEN TOP 10 ON R&B ITUNES FOR THE PAST 72 HOURS NOW…CHARTING IN OVER 9 COUNTRIES…THE ALBUM HAS BEEN #8-#12 FOR THE LAST 48 AND IS CURRENTLY #8 ON ITUNES MAIN. TURN IT UP FEAT USHER IS #59 ON ITUNES MAIN SO ITS SAFE TEW SAY THATS THE NEXT SINGLE, WHICH MEANS CRAZY VIDEO, HIT SINGLE, AND MORE SALES….
ITS SAD BEING A STAN OF CISUS AND SEEING HER NOT ACCEPTED BY THE WORLD, BUT HONESTLY EITHER WAY IT GOES ITS A WIN WIN FOR TEAM CIARA. IF THE ALBUM DOES WELL THEN WE GET TEW SPIT AND P*** IN THE HATERS MOUTH…IF NOT, THEN SHE GETS NEW LABEL, NEW TEAM AND HAS THE SAME CHANCES THE UNDESERVING SLAVES HAVE.
EITHER WAY IM ALLLLLL SMILES. {BACKBENDS TEW YEAH I KNOW}
BIBLE INSTINCT IN STORES NOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!
See Ciara is talented.
Great performance.
Why is Ciara so harshly and overly judged?
If she did 3 backflips and landed on one hand people would say “that’s all she got ????”
Ciara’s singes have been good and her videos are nice. “Gimme That” video is great. She’s on the wall, she’s stepping, etc and people still said that video is wack.
Then they get on her for the matrix, and saying Beyonce can do it further. Ciara is taller and she holds it longer so I think she’s advanced it more.
Rihanna does blah performances and people get excited if she whines for four seconds. But Ciara gives routines and she gets shaded. It’s annoying.
She puts on a routine , she does different forms of hip hop dancing and jazz dance styles, she’s flexible, athletic. She can do sensual things as well as aggressive street moves. She’s a master at doing intricate choreography and has stage presence.
3 words : I LOVE CIARA
Love Ciara… but this performance did nothing for me lol. #kanyeshrug. Must be my age, as I am not entertained by most performers these days including your favorite artist lol. Good luck to her though, she is gorgeous.
@Lonny…
She’s a great dancer, but the problem is she’s been doing the same moves for some time & there isn’t any variance to her choreography. You could switch this choreography w/ that Work song she had and not know the difference. She needs to create an identity through choreography for each song so that each song has memorable choreography like Janet & MJ did or even Aaliyah. She also needs to establish a look for each song.. She did this perfectly with Promise… everything else has blended together. Rihanna is successful b/c she is a master @ doing this. Creating a persona for each song.
This could have had the potential to be a great record if she a.) had a better set; b.) had a better wardrobe, really her being in all black as well made it difficult for her to pop amongst her black clad dancers; c.) had better choreography; and d.) had defined a persona for this record. This is why she fails.
Ciara has won several ASCAP awards for her son writing skills…..WHICH MEANS SHE WRITES HER OWN ISH!
Ciara you have a great personality and humble. I am sorry about your sales prayfully they are better than predicted. I have never purchased your albums but I have jammed to a lot of your songs in the goodie days and your last album “fantasy ride” had some nice songs. I will purchase this album bc of your personality eventhough I don’t really feel none of the songs but ride was catchy on the radio. Also, MONICA is my number 1 female r&b artist and I support everything she does and you and her are really close and families are close so I will support this album….Good luck and it will get better because you are a very talented and a great performer, you gave me Janet Jackson vibe on this awesome performance. hang in there. Remember “footsteps of a good man has already been ordered” God bless. SIDENOTE….Please maybe tweet to your diehard fans that instead of talking about and degrading other artist to build you up, they could be encourging others why they should become a fan and purchase your album.They on all these blogs arguing with others opinions, name calling, etc…and it is not helping your album sales because others look at it as well she has fans like that she must be a negative, argumentative hoodrat which you are the totally opposite. Again God bless.
this was all over the place… its like oh its a dance break.. and then its not… and then it is again. like she couldnt make up her mind what she wanted to do with this performance.
Janet keeps it simple.. one simple dance break in the middle of a song an bam.. its hot. ciara did ten thousand different things you almost forgot what song she was performing..it was just way too much. and inconsistent!
