The 'who's the best singer' debate btw. Rihanna and Ciara is pointless. Neither one of them are good singers. If I had to pick, I would relunctantly choose Rihanna b/c her voice is stronger and every now and then a decent tone stands out amongst all that harshness. Ciara is just a plain off-key whisperer. @Sam: Where does all this respect for Ciara as a recording artist come from? She certainly doesn't deserve it. I'm starting think that you (and maybe Trent also)are personal friends with some of these mildly talented artists like Kelis and Ciara. You can't deny Rihanna's star power, regardless of the fact that her tone can be somewhat painful at times. But I just don't understand why Ciara is given so much props. I agree with GUCCI, Ciara's dance moves are repititive and becoming less and less impressive and her music is flopping hard. I use to think that you guys had a point when it comes to Rihanna but since you fail to acknowledge Ciara's shortcomings it just seems like plain bias and hate.
