New Video: Ciara – ‘Ride (ft. Ludacris)’

Published: Wednesday 21st Apr 2010 by Sam

Ciara‘s hotly anticipated video for new single ‘Ride’ premièred a few moments ago. Check out the Diane Martel directed clip after the jump….

Hmm. In keeping it 100%, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly disappointed with this one. After all, with the song being such a winner, as well as Ciara’s history with director Martel (‘Promise’, ‘Like A Boy’, ‘Love Sex, Magic’ videos), I felt a little short-changed with this one. Yes, Ms. Harris nailed the choreography, however besides that, the video was pretty standard (Ciara) fare. Unfortunate when considering the fact that she usually brings something new to the table both with the choreography and visually.

Still, not a ‘bad’ effort; and with the song being so strong, the 24 year old looks like she has a hit on her hands.

Your thoughts?

    Cute. But Not The Best

  23. Jay2010 April 21, 2010

    B**** IS NOT PLAYING ! This is the HOTNESS itself ! Cici gonna get ’em charts again !

  24. X ,Y and Crazeee! April 21, 2010

    !. Too vulgar what example is she setting? Def not a role model
    2. Too Ghetto… what example is she setting? that young girls should know how to ride it!
    3. I got the memo that she CAN dance in the first 10secs after that BORING!
    4. I think you guys ( Sam and trent) would prefer if Chris Brown danced like this to these lyrics
    5. She still looks like a man in a leotard!
    6. Hated it
    7. Two snaps and a “Hell to the nah” in my best whitney Houston voice!
    8. Did she do any siging here… maybe one note…I Cant remember and I not playing it again.

    Anyhow BLAH!

  25. Dreaming April 21, 2010

    Delusional Beyoncéfan – in that case, wasnt B copying CiCi way of crunk-dancing in the Sweet Dreams video?

    I dont think this video is sexistic at all. For me, it inspires me to dance really, and I think she is being sexual, but in a mature and respectful way!

  26. BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE) April 21, 2010

  29. antertain April 21, 2010

    She has got LEGS 4 daaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzzzz…

    Cici can whine 4a non-booty chick.
    She defo had a good wax as well jheeeezzz..

    She killed the dancing and look’d good.

    Track is hard though. I like when she goes back to roots.
    It’s cool mixing up the sounds but she must always stick to the roots as well.

    THIS VIDEO IS SSSSICKKKK IN A GOOD WAY…. HER DANCING IS CRAAAZZZZYYY LUVIT & her BODY IS CRAZZZY cici!! LUVIT

  32. Aundrea April 21, 2010

    I don’t understand what more she could have done with the video. Anything more would have taken away from the dancing. This makes it easier to learn the dance steps and it gives people a chance to match the visual now with their own versions.

  33. ahhahhh April 21, 2010

    wow… i usally don’t read the commnets that people leave on new videos or pictures but i wanted to see how other people reacted on this video… it’s true that video is not that special, but you can see that she tried hard and she also enterteained me with the dancing… but it is so sad to see how some of this people here are unthankful and mean… i think that it is okay to speak his minde as long as the words are well chosen… i would love to see some of you mean guys doing a dance routine like thís in a video that gets played on tv! you must be so tiered and bored of your own life that you need to pick on others all the time to get over the day…. good job ciara!!!

  34. WOW April 21, 2010

    I am stunned!!!!! Where does she find the energy for all of this!!!???

    Nothing special, but she didnt need anything more special than this! This is the perfect video, she doesnt need a high budget Rihanna – Hard, Lady GaGa – Telephone video!

    This is PERFECT. And the song is such a grower.
    I am so back behind her back, didnt like the last era, but I’m in love with her again.

  35. Tha Phoenix April 21, 2010

    @BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE)

    Oh, come on, really? Ciara was copying B’s fur jacket? Now you’re just fishing.

    Ppl have been wearing fur jackets before Queen B was even born.

    Guys, once again, do not take BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE) as a representative of all B stans. I’ve been stanning for B since ’99, but I still love Cici and have since ’05. B loves Ci and vice versa – why throw shade?

  36. bobs April 21, 2010

    Oh dear. Boring song, bad video. This is the end of her career.

    You made fun of the Khia video, at least that was funny. Same budget here (slightly lower?)

  37. Jay April 21, 2010

    Haters are hilarious. The video is HOT. Best one I’ve seen so far this year. Some of ya’ll need to get it together and give credit where it’s due. No female can dance like that and she looks fantastic. I obviously need to watch this video a few more times to take some of those moves and practice for my next man lol #sick with a greatness.

  38. sm,h April 21, 2010

    U GUYS OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE Diane Martel is .. do your research

  39. Nika April 21, 2010

    Yeah Sam u trippin on this one – that vid was HOT, damn CiCi.

    NOW THAT IS THE CIARA that I have grown to luv. FULL FORCE dancing with a BANGIN beat. Her and Chris Brown need a single together & a vid of nothing but dancing.

  40. Alex April 21, 2010

    Wow…very disappointing. Ciara shouldve come HARDER with this video…it looks like a promo video instead of the music video to the lead single of a “comeback” project. She killed that choreo and looked amazing (besides the fur jacket look) but that video did nothing for me. Still not feeling the song either

  41. sandza April 21, 2010

    oh this damn b****,how dare she!! its gona take years for me to do those moves,thanks alot ciara,lol

  42. PLAIN AND SIMPLE April 21, 2010

    wow! Ciara was the bomb. Loved the song, dancing out of this world. She’ so nice and small that when she dance like that it looks so damm good.

    @Nika I love that. Chris & Ciara should do a song together and show of all their talent dance steps. I’ll bet the will bomb together. WAY TO GO CIARA

  43. CIARAMADNESS April 21, 2010

    DAMN!!!! I LOVE BEING A CIARA STAN!!!! AND SHES IS GOING ON TOUR… (SHE SAID IT VIA USTREAM) I JUST CANT WAIT!!!!

  44. D April 21, 2010

    Sam I hear u but disagree. The theme is back to basic therefor keeping it simple fits in. Plus wat she did that she hasn’t done bf is balance the hood ci w the s*** ci in one vid in a more balanced way. And this dancing is yt she does in perf not vid and she kilt w no dancers for the first time too (another thing u haven’t seen bf)

    In all she murked tht sht

    Ciara >>>>>>>>>>all those other h***

  45. Tb April 21, 2010

    DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! CiCi is BACK!!!

    Pure FIRE… The simplicity of the video matches the song perfectly so i’m glad they did not over do it with the video concept… Great work!!!

  46. dakkylove April 21, 2010

    lovely dance steps in the video..only Ciara can step like this..i hope this helps her career cos she really works hard.

  47. Tami April 21, 2010

    I love when dumb people come online talking about she’s not a positive role model for kids. Look parents need to stop letting damn celebrities raise their kids and start being a role model for their own children. Ciara didn’t birth any of these peoples kids so she owes them no obligation she is an artist and a grown adult.

    This video was pure hotness I loved it the dancing, her body, her legs, the car, ludacris. Everything was on point.

  48. DANBOFFICIAL April 21, 2010

    i like it, but her vocals are sooooo weak………b**** needs to take a few notes from Rihanna and learn how to put a bit of elbow grease into the song……..another music artist using s** to sell rather than relying on her…..supposed……”vocals”
    nice video beyonce………sorry ciara !!!

    -DANBOFFICIAL-OUT-

  49. Tb April 21, 2010

    It will be funny to see if BET blocks this video for being too s***?

    Blocking Teairra Mari’s Sponsor was a JOKE…

  50. Blair April 21, 2010

    omg your right…i think i did see beyonce breath at the end of ‘single ladies’…and ciara was breathing while she was dancing…ciara MUST BE swagga jackin bey….!!! come on stans get a life…this video was so hot…lol

  51. Kingnoah3000 April 21, 2010

    BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE).. u mean the same Fur Lil Kim rocked a long time ago .. #pow…never the less..Video cool..remind me of the old CC but truth be told, we want the old CC swagger updated

  52. FAKERZ April 21, 2010

    WELL SHE CERTAINLY AINT NO MAN! LOOOOL!!! CIARA KILLED IT AND BE LOOKING GOOD, HELL I’M TIRED OF EVERYONE PUTTING BEYONCE AND GAGA ON A PEDASTOL THAT EVERYONE WHO REMOTELY DOES SOMETHING SIMILAR IS A SWAGGER JACKER YET THEY ARE SWAGGER JACKERS THEMSELVES AINT NO ONE “ORIGINAL”

  53. BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE) April 21, 2010

    UM THE REAL BEYDABESS AND I LOVE CIARA DESE FAKE ASS PPL KILL ME!!!!!

  54. Last Boy on Earth April 21, 2010

    she slayed in the coreography, I dont like the song, best luck to her

  55. movieman April 21, 2010

    flop i am sorry what kinda ghetto mess is this,

    she aint no diva

    she about to join ashanti

  56. CIARA FAN 21 April 21, 2010

    GO CICI!!!!!

  57. BeysBetter April 21, 2010

    she was giving me RuPauls drag race!

  58. Ghetto Fab April 21, 2010

    Ciara killed it! Choreography was on point! Some of yall sound so damn stupid. I’m not even going to comment on the Beystealing comments. You don’t need a huge budget to make a great video. The point of the video was to focus on Ciara and her dancing and she OWNED IT!

    Hands down NOBODY in the industry can dance as good as Ciara. She is an entertainer. Great comeback Cici.

  59. “Dj Y2k Malone” April 21, 2010

    the video sucked, same tired cliches of every hip hop/r&b video of the past few years…and these queens eatin it up like they do any video by any half naked female singer, smh…

    typical ghetto video standards
    half naked girl…check
    sexually suggestive dancing….check
    bikini shot….check
    gratuitous ass/body close-ups…check
    rapper cameo…check
    weak, lackadaisical verse from said rapper…check
    expensive car/rims…check

    i can name at least 10 videos off the top of my head that fit the same exact criteria for what you consider “hot”…those vids and this one are all weak
    the dancing was cute but that’s where it ends

  60. Tha Phoenix April 21, 2010

    @BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE)

    I apologize – I really thought that person above was you!! So sad how ppl impersonate others on blog sites…

    And I agree – I love Cici…

  61. dodo April 21, 2010

    Ciara you really killed it. Ciara slim tone body had a lot to do with those movements. If she was a bit heavier, then she would not look right doing those kind of moves. If u know what I mean. She is the right size and the movements was the bomb. Also the song was on point with her dance moves. Love the song. GIRL YOU SCORED!!!

  62. Tiff April 21, 2010

    omg…are we going to take it there with the “half naked girl” Riri fan? I like Rihanna but seriously, Rihanna is never half naked?

  63. PLAIN AND SIMPLE April 21, 2010

    @dodo Yes if her hips and thigh were 2 big she would have look like a hooker. She’s small and looks great. The dancing and her singing was over the top. GREAT JOB CIARA

  64. TokyoDiamondz April 21, 2010

    First of all I am Ciara’s biggest FAN! I loved the video and to anyone who has anything to say about her being half naked then f*** you! You don’t have to watch the video… CLICK THE “X” ON THE RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE SCREEN! THANK YOU! If you are so concerned about what your kids are watching and singing you should be more aware and protect them from seeing it.. DUH! Ciara slayed with this video and there is more where this came from!

    To all Beyonce/Rihanna stans INCLUDING myself.. We cannot say anything about a b**** being half naked! now can we?… I.E. Video Phone, Rude Boy so y’all can hop off that s*** right now!

    Ciara is back and b****** are PRESSED! I SEE YOU CiCi! #nuffsaid!!

  65. TokyoDiamondz April 21, 2010

    It trips me out how all the beyonce stans FLOCK to a Ciara video to talk s***! I don’t like to drag BeyJacker because I love her too but if it ever comes down to it then I will.. Because I STAN for Ciara the HARDEST! Y’all know y’all live for Ciara and just hate to admit it! And HOW DARE Y’ALL say Ciara is swaggerjacking Beyonce when EVERYTHING BEYONCE DOES IS AN INSPIRATION FOR SOMETHING IN THE PAST!! #HOESIT! @BEYDABEST

    Things Beyonce Jacked:
    Crazy in Love: SAMPLE
    Naughty Girl: SAMPLE
    UPGRADE YOU: SAMPLE
    Single Ladies: Stole it from another video
    Sweet Dreams: Stole concept from fashion show
    Diva Video: DOES CIARA’S MATRIX (POW!)

    THE LIST GOES ON! But i still Like Bey and I never throw shade towards her unless her DELUSIONAL stans throw shade at Ci!

  66. MONTE April 21, 2010

    THANK GOODNESS SHE IS OUT OF HER TRYIN TO BE CUTE PHASE NO SHE IS BACK TO THE BASIC FROM GOODIES WHICH MADE HER WHO SHE IS….I LOVE IT!!!!

  67. Peter W April 21, 2010

    Hot video.

  68. X,Y,”and Z” April 21, 2010

    @Sam — But you GOTTA admit; looking at THIS video and “Rude Boy,” Ciara is dancing, ALONE; in that ‘other’ video, “the model” isn’t: She makes serious-use of editing, heavy-use of her-Dancers/Props, Camera-Trickery and Photography-Gimmickry. This video, as compared to “Rude Boy,” just reaffirms what I had previously asked/stated: If you had your LAST dollar, and JUST-HAD to see a performer/artist LIVE, who’d YOU go see? …A “Model” who is pretending to be a Singer, by use of Gimmicks, Back-tracks, Back-up Dancers and the obligatory Smoke, Flashing Lights and Pyrotechnics? Or do I, keep THAT dollar in MY pocket, and wait for someone like Ciara, who can, by looking at this video, take-command-of-a-stage, BY HERSELF, if-SHE-so-chooses, and truly entertain me?

    I think the answer(s) is/are obvious: “Ciara IS Queen of the live performers,” and well-worthy of the price of THAT Concert Ticket! …Models need-not-apply; can open-up any Magazine if I want that…

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!

  69. CiaraMadness April 21, 2010

    “Dj Y2k Malone”
    ARE YU SERIOUS…
    RIHANNA HAD THE SAME “CHECKLIST” IN HER HARD VIDEO?!
    GIVE UP

  70. memo April 21, 2010

    she looks desperate

  71. Blasian April 21, 2010

    She cann dance! But this song will FLOP! And i HARD!

    CICI will never been on Beyonce’s lvl she leave Beyonce out of this Hell Cici isn’t on Rihanna’s lvl lmao! She’s A FLOP!

  72. X,Y,”and Z” April 21, 2010

    ATTENTION: Europe

    ….Want to see a REAL-Performer, who knows how to ‘take-command-of-a-stage’, who WILL give you an “Hours-Worth of Entertainment”, then save your Euros, and wait for Ciara!
    If you want to see “Models,” pretend to Sing; pretend to Dance and almost trip-up over THEIR OWN FEET; bore-you-to-Tears; and make you wish you’d kept that “last-Dollar of yours”, then be my guest: go and see that charade that’ll be surely “making an appearance, near you!”

    …Can’t never say you wasn’t warned, now can you?

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!

  73. Blasian April 21, 2010

    She cann dance! But this song will FLOP! And HARD!

    CICI will never been on Beyonce’s lvl so leave Beyonce out of this Hell Cici isn’t on Rihanna’s lvl and that says alot lmao! She’s A FLOP!

  74. lisa April 21, 2010

    I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MUSIC HISTORY DANCE LIKE CIARA, THIS GIRL IS SOMETHING!

  75. tia April 21, 2010

    GET IT CI-CI! i aint mad at her….yeah the vid could have been more but i think she was just tryna give us old dancing ci-ci some people will never be satisfied but she looked great and she was twerkin it!

  76. justme April 21, 2010

    I am with u Blasian… I think the video was alright.. She did this in Promise…. I will not be watchin this again.. Love s** magic was better… It was to ghetto.. I guess thats her niche

  77. Tonio April 21, 2010

    She killed it but she was still trying 2 hard…she need 2 jus relax, I want the old Ciara back lol!

  78. jamaican cutie April 21, 2010

    one word…..FIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  79. they April 21, 2010

    Her body is so unattractive!!! NO HIPS AT ALL……EWW she looks gross!!! song boring….video boring….LOVE THE DANCING THO

  80. NaiimahRNB April 21, 2010

    Love Ciara love the choregraphy but the song is a bit weak and the video is a snooooozer! quite disappointed! that promo where she was rapping was waayyy better, dont like this vid…i just liked the dancing..im still a fan but. this is prob her worst vid ever

  81. Smile! April 21, 2010

    I really like the song, i enjoyed the video, it wasn’t all glammed up and stuff, although i wish she had a row of bad b****** to grind/dance along side her, that would of been goood!
    i hope she enjoy success with her new album

  82. Dolce1210 April 21, 2010

    IM kinda glad it was standard and not too much because it let the world see that ciara still has her skills, and it let them focus on her and not the effects of the video.. so she did her thang with this video .. Very basic but definitely lovin it….. She brought that s*** wit the video… so all i have to say is ladies watch out.. CUZ CICI IS COMIN FOR THAT ASSS… SHES BACKKKKKKK

  83. misssixty April 21, 2010

    @tokyo

    U must be an idiot! a producer sampling a song is not “jacking”! If thats the case then rappers have been “jackin” since the 80’s! They pay for those samples moron!

    Lord you people are idiots

    I like this song, the vid was cool but I don’t get the excitement.We all know Ciara is the best dancer out there, wouldve been nice to see her with some more challenging choreography for a change.
    Wish her well though

  84. Aunt Jackie April 21, 2010

    Chick isn’t setting an example for anyone. She’s of-age and she can be s*** if she likes. As far as ‘ghetto’, Ciara is from a southern community and influenced by atlanta culture. Is is too ‘Carribean if Rihanna Whines her waist gal?’ Come on now, some of these comments are crazy.

    The video killed. Everyone knows she can dance like that, but she had to remind people. And remind people, she did.

    Chick slayed

    @Beydabess

    You are soooo funny/crazy. If I put a fur coat on an someone takes a picture of me….am I copying Bey too? Beyonce is great, but I swear you’d see Beyonce in anything or anywhere!

  85. Durrel Jennings April 21, 2010

    The dancing was great..the video was jus Blah…

  86. NICKY April 21, 2010

    *JAW DROPS TO THE FLOOR*

    WOW…….CIARA LOOKED GREAT, THE DANCING WAS COOL.

    HOWEVER, SOME PARTS WERE A BIT XRATED!!!!!!!! THE SONG DOESNT SCREAM #1 HIT BUT IM SURE IT WILL DO WELL ON URBAN CHARTS.

    HOPEFULLY SHE DOES WELL WITH THIS ALBUM.

  87. Renee April 21, 2010

    I’m very impressed. Great video.

  88. Dee April 21, 2010

    Yes Ciara This Is Wat Im Talkin About. She Killed That Shid. Now To Be Perfectly Honest When I First Heard THe Song I was not feelin it all that much. n imma CIARA STAN!!! But THis video made me love the song and love the video itself. That b**** can dance like nobodies bizness. Rihanna WHo. B**** Go Sit Down. LOL. Ik this will top the r&b/hip hop charts and most likely be a moderate hit on the hot 100 but this was for Ciara’s fans…and the fans love it. Even the haters are on here full force. It never ceases to amaze me that Beyonce and Rihanna fans go out of there way to watch a Ciara video…its prolly cause yaw already know she is something to watch for.

    i have to disagreeeeeeeee!

    Ciara just kept it real…..

    a video doesnt have to be over the top like what we see today everyone trying to outdo eachother.

    she made people remember who she is and what made her with that street gritty shiit.

    i saw bravo ci ci…!

    not a shoulder pad in sight lol

  91. Danni April 21, 2010

    i meant say

  92. MaZ April 21, 2010

    Ciara did a good job, except her stylist and director….

    without the choregraphy the video would be boring as hell.

    I except more from Cici and her team this time around.

    Song is still hot….Hope her new album promise like “ride”.

  93. STLOUISDON April 21, 2010

    1ST WATCH OK 2 WATCH COOL 3RD WATCH F****** HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  94. GIRL BYE April 21, 2010

    SHE NEEDS TO STOP WEARING LEOTARDS BECAUSE IT DOESN’T FIT HER MANLY BODY… THAT IS ALL!

  95. trina b April 21, 2010

    a lil rauncheeee but this b**** f***** killed the choreography. so it gets smiles from me!

  96. Bruce April 21, 2010

    CiCi is a bad chick! Not disappointed at all!

  97. tiggy April 21, 2010

    So Ciara is back on her Aaliyah swag. It works for her. It’s funny how the only way Ciara could sell records is by molding after the late Aaliyah. and before the Ci stans attack me, I dont mean that in a bad way. Aaliyah’s death left a void open. Ciara is filling that void. Cant be mad at that

  98. RihannaLover April 21, 2010

    I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Ci-Error is back to CIARA!!! Her winding skills are RIDICULOUS!!! The song is ok but I’m sure the video will give it a boost on the charts!!! Leave Beyonce and Rihanna out of this!!! Some of you stans just take s*** too far!!! This is about Ciara!!! And at that stupid stan beybadass!!! You are in no position to be talking about swagger-jacking cuz you know your queen is ahead of the pack when it comes to that!!! You should also brush up on your grammar! Write English we don’t have to struggle to understand! SMDH!!!

  99. dragongirl April 21, 2010

    This video was hot. I’m glad Ciara is back to her real self. The dancing was dope

    This >>>>>>>>>>Rude Boy

  100. ~Team Weezy~ April 21, 2010

    DEAD @ that psycho @BeyDaBess!!!!! LLLMMMMAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!!! That fool said Beyonce was the first to ride a bull, chew gum, and WEAR A FUR COAT????? Bwayyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I just can’t! Talk about beyond psycho!!!!!!

    Anyways, the video is really good!!!! She has mad SKILLS!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the way she dances!! She’s far above PHENOMENAL! I love the simplicity of the video and how they focused on her dancing! Her body is sick! And why are people saying this is ghetto??? Her dancing is true art of hip hop culture especially down south where I’m from! She captures the essence of that and makes it her own. It’s not like she had hella ass and thighs giggling all in the camera, now that would be ghetto and nasty! And her music is R&B and Hip hop so its only fitting to match the dancing with the type of music she releases. Go CiCi!

    @Dj Y2k Malone

    the funny thing is ppl can name a checklist with over 10 typical cliches in a Rihanna video as well, so get a life… It’s pathetic to point out something that one artist is doing when your artist is no better.

    Also, I can’t beleive ppl are tryna call her ghetto, when this is the Ciara you all wanted. SMH. And then you wanna talk abou XRated, this pails in comparison to some of the videos that use to be on BET U****.

    On the vid, it was basic. I LOVED her dancing & her body looks great too. I cant wait for her album. Keep it up CiCi!

  103. Great Job April 21, 2010

    I really think the video was done well. It most def kept me entertained and that’s the point of a music video. I appreciated the fact that she was dancing the whole video by herself without back-up dancers. The choreo was nice and I truly believe she excecuted it well. Ciara has always had a hard a Tom-Boy swag with some s** appeal thrown in there. When I think about her first hit Goodies, she stood out because she wasn’t just a girl trying to be cute, it was clear she had a ruff side but she could dance her a** off. I have always enjoyed the way she can take what some may view as a “stripper” move or just a club dance and make it ok to do. And she pulls that off so well because she does have a Tom-Boy swag that doesn’t over sexualize it. Not to mention that she is so relatable because she can hit those club moves, I bet she can Dougie, Two-Step, Stanky Leg etc. her a** off and I think that’s a good thing people dont think about.

    I must also give her credit with video styled choreo, because she wrecks it. Her dancers dont show her up, she def hangs with them

  104. “Dj Y2k Malone” April 21, 2010

    @ Pucci
    I call it the way I see it
    this video was shot like it was a male rap video
    she was too raunchy in it trying to hard people dont want the s** up ciara
    they like the tom boy ciara s** do sell but not for everyone
    the dancing was on point
    this is about Ciara Rihanna has nothing to do with this
    and if you are a Ciara my comment shouldn’t move you everyone doesn’t have to like this vid
    R&B radio will eat this up but it’s not going to go far on Pop radio at lease Ciara has some of her fans back

  105. Meechy05 April 21, 2010

    Wow!!!

  106. Meechy05 April 21, 2010

    wow!!

  107. Heaven April 21, 2010

    My issue with some of you folks are you are ready to shut every one down but the artist YOU like. She’s no nastier than you’re favorite stage walker with her costumes up her snAt^h or the more talented whoochie c****** twitcher.

    Nope, she’s doing nothing new, hey most of that dance she did over top of CB at the BET awards.

    So being provocative is still the way to make your money these days. You either like it or you don’t…support it or you won’t. The powers that be are feeding the monster, cause y’all dang sure buying it.

  108. James April 21, 2010

    Trended on twitter TWICE today EVERYONE is loving it WHO MAD?

  109. Jamie April 21, 2010

    You gotta give it to her, she’s an excellent dancer. I don’t particularly like the song because it’s brings nothing new to the table. It’s like she moved backwards. She still can’t sing, only dance, and that’s it! She shoulda been a video vixen.

  110. DDavid April 21, 2010

    Loved It…..She murdered it…leave this girl let her dance thats how they should market her!!

  111. jo April 21, 2010

    TO BE HONEST LOOKING AT IT NOW THE CHOREO WAS VERY SIMPLE , ANYONE COULD DO . WELL AT LEAST ICOULD . ANYWAYS IFEEL LIKE SHE SHOULD GET A NEW CHOREOGRAPHER .

  112. licaan April 21, 2010

    DAMNNNNN

    Cici is backkkkk 🙂

  113. DANNY BOY April 21, 2010

    As much as i like the dancing and the song, this video has Upgrade U, Crazy In Love and Suga Mama all over it….. SMH..

    I guess shes trying to sync the whole Beyonce Video Anthology in every video she puts out as of 2009.. see “Love S** Magic” (Ego, Diva, Single Ladies, Yes, Kitty Kat all rolled into one)

    C’mon now Ci Ci….

  114. connor April 21, 2010

    @ BEYDABESS (DA REAL ONE)

    IDK, this song is so FIRE, BUT I am not sure about the video . . .

  116. korren April 21, 2010

    yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ciara is back haters that video is the s*** im going to buy the album

  117. JOKES April 21, 2010

    LOL GOODIES DONE COME OUT THE JAR AND STARTED REPRODUCING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES!

  118. keith April 21, 2010

    Ciara is a phenomenal dancer.

    Song is cliche, urban radio drivel but her dancing keeps you glued.

    It IS time for her to tackle more challenging choreography. Don’t want to see Bey’s c****** and definitely don’t want to see hers.

    And for those who don’t know, Atlanta is SYNONYMOUS with ghetto culture and yes, as a result Ciara has gone back to that which spawned her (artistically speaking) and that is disappointing…

    I am sure all the gay boys. hormone driven str8 boys and slutty females are loving this one.

  119. streetDreAmz84 April 21, 2010

    Ok THIS IS THE CIARA WE NEED TO SEE. SHE TOTALLY DOMINATES THIS STYLE OF MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHY….. HER LAST FEW VIDS SHE WAS TRYING TO STEP INTO THE BEYONCE TERRITORY BUT THIS IS CLASSIC CIARA AND IT WORKS FOR HER..GLAD TO SEE HER BACK

  120. loso April 21, 2010

    I thought the dancing was GREAT I am just not sure about the overall video I dont know if it will help the song out as much as I thought it would. It just seems like it is missing something but I cant hate Ciara can dance better than any female entertainer out now!!!

  121. rightround(U.S.A pride!) April 21, 2010

    Honestly, everyone will sit and watch Ciara dance her a** off FOREVER! She’s very talented. All she was doing was grinding but it was entertaining. Nobody else has her type of energy and delivery… and that’s why her videos are always hits.

    With that said, i agree with Sam on that it did lack some things, visual and choreography wise(she is the reigning DANCE QUEEN for petes sake!). There was only 3 scenes in the whole 4 minute video! I know CiCi can come harder than this. But for now, I’ll enjoy this.

  122. Anne April 21, 2010

    Same ol’ dance moves. I agree with part of what Sam said on this one. Ciara is a great dancer but I think the moves are repetitive and look like the same things I’ve seen her doing in several videos. The song is pretty good, probably an R&B hit but don’t see it putting much of dent on the Pop or Hot 100 charts like Ciara use to in the Goodies days.

  123. Chezel April 21, 2010

    Hey CiCi i love your new video s*** and hot..!!!!

  124. Fleur April 21, 2010

    Ciara ain’t playing.
    I love the song and Video.
    Her body is sick 🙂

  125. kongo April 21, 2010

    Im a Big Rihanna fan

    But I loooove this Song and video i dont care what anybody gotta say
    we all know rihanna is the best dancer in tha Bizz like come on!

    okok i will say that the video some parts was kinda s*** but o well
    and i like how she kept it simple like she did not do some next over hypes s*** like everyone is doing she kept it clean and [basic]

    But im really digging her new swag and sound and i really hope her the best because i think she deserves some success if the album is going to be like this im sure going to Buy It!

    [P.s to the beyonce stans sit you ass down] beyonce aint original to save your life and yall all know that so dont bring her name into it,!

  126. Kami April 21, 2010

    This video was obviously pretty low budget because..didn’t anyone hear what she was saying in her last video as a shout out and dare to Keri? — She’s going back to her ‘roots,’ meaning that she’s going to try to balance her life of high fashion and exclusiveness with her Atlanta ‘Oh/OneTwoStep/MyGoodies’ roots.

    She wasn’t trying to copy off of anyone in this video. In Bey’s “Upgrade You/Kitty Kat” etc..she was still trying to be theatrical and unique by adding little quirks that represented her gradual progression into ‘Sasha Fierce.’ And if anything, Ciara is LITERALLY taking a s*** at just being herself lately, saying that she doesn’t have to have a high-budget, glamorous set in order to show that she’s talented.

    Ciara is probably the best dancer right now, and has been for a while.
    If anyone tries to argue with me, remember that the artists that you consider to be ‘good dancers’ in terms of females in the industry have only given us **trademark** moves, where they only showcase it for a few seconds, whereas Ciara constantly moves through out her videos. I don’t care if the choreography in this video was simple — At the end of the day, you can see that the girl’s obviously talented. This song is drenched in her signature sensuality, as always. Meaning that she wouldn’t need to have hardcore/krunk moves like in GetUp/LikeABoy/Work/Go-Girl to who that she knows how to dance.

    This song is the song that you’re supposed to get laid to.
    – not break down and start break dancing on the street to.

    Ciara, welcome back, love muffin <3 <3 <3
    After this video is more widely released, everyone's going to be like..
    "Well s***. I guess that means that I should start dancing in my videos more, huh?"

    The key behind Ciara's success is that she tries her best to make everything look 'effortless', meaning that the line between her and her audience blurs and people can feed off her energy and apply that to their own lives, opposed to feeling connected for just a few minutes.

  127. IkeFierce April 22, 2010

    WOW!!! Ciara KILLED it!!
    I love the way she’s gone back to WHY we all fell in love with her in the first place. The HEAVY beat in the background and her phenomenal dancing has totally won me over…if the rest of her album goes as hard as this I might just put my Ciara stan hat on!!

    SideNote: I also think it’s quite disgusting the way deluded Beyonce & Rihanna stans find ways to spoil the fun. This is a CIARA article so you don’t have to drag in other artisits. All this ‘swagger-jacking’ talk is really getting boring :-s

  128. Jenne April 22, 2010

    @ Kongo

    Go get your eyes and ears checked. If your doctor say there is nothing wrong with you’ then get your tv screen fixed. cause if you think Rihanna is the best dancer/ singer; something is wrong.

    Question: What dance does Rihanna do to make her the best dancer. B**** can not even do one of those dances that CiCi just did in her video.

    “Ride ” video is waaay better than that s***** “Rude Boy ” video.

    I DEFINITELY agree with X, Y and Z. I will pay to ci CiCi in concert.

    GOD DAMN @SWEAT WORK, YOU A DAMN HATER WOW, FOR HER DANCING AND FOR ANY OF THESE ADULT ARIST AND HOW THEY PERFORM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A***. I DONT CARE WHICH ARTIST IT IS EITHER, LADY GAGA OR BEYONCE OR CIARA THESE ARTIST ARE GROWN AND THEY ARE PERFORMING FOR ADULTS IN ADULTS SITUATIONS, ITS THE PARENTS WHO HAVE TO CENSOR THIS FROM THE KIDS, ANY SONG YOU CAN THINK OF NOW AND BACK 50 YEARS AGO ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT FUKING AND S** AND LOVE MAKING, ITS JUST THE ARTIST NOW ARE MORE BLOUNT WITH IT. S** HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FACTOR IN MUSIC AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, YOU TAKE MARVIN GAY AND TEDDY PENDAGRASS WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT S** AND LOVE MAKING. MUSIC ABOUT S** AND LOVE MAKING ARE DESIGNED TO GET YOU IN THE MOOD AND THEIR IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SWEAT WORK YOU MUST BE A FEMALE AND MAD AT CIARA BECAUSE SHE LOOKS THE BOMB AND YOU CAN’T PERFORM THAT WAY. SHE WAS FULLY CLOTHED POPPING NOW IF SHE WAS TO HAVE BEEN DANCING IN THE SWIM SUITE LIKE THAT THEN I WOULD HAVE SAID OK NOW SHE GOT WRONCHY BUT SHE DIDNT. IF YOU SAYING WHAT SHE DID IN THIS VIDEO IN PANTS IS WRONG THEN YOU NEED TO GO TO THE SCHOOLS AND TALK THIS SAME S*** TO THE CHEERLEADERS AND DRILL TEAM WHO POP THEY ASS IN SKIRTS HAHAHAHAHAAHAH SWEATWORK YOU JEALOUS AS HELL. PEOPLE KILL ME ACCUSING THE ARTIST OF SELLING S** TO TEENS WHEN I DONT BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE AND AT FIRST I DID BUT I ANALYZED THE SITUATION A LITTLE MORE, ITS NOT THE ARTIST FAULT WHAT SOMEONE DOES BECAUSE OF THEIR MUSIC, ITS NOT WHAT YOU LISTEN BUT WHAT YOU TAKE FROM IT.
