I don't think Ciara's problem is neccesarily that she CAN'T sing i just think it's that her voice is better suited in the studio than on stage. I think when comparing her to likes of Beyonce, you have to look at Beyonce's upbringing & training growing up as oppose to Ciara's.

Beyonce from the time she was 8 years-old was training her voice, you can tell even now as she dances real hard & still sounds flawless, sometimes better than the orignal record that Matthew had his daughter & the rest of the girls in "SINGING BOOT CAMP" as Beyonce & Kelly have said time & time again in interviews. He had those girl up at o'clock in the morning running & singing @ the same time because he knew that a live performance is where you show your stuffn & he knew that his daughter had a POWERHOUSE voice & he didn't want it to be wasted becasue she was too tired after dancing really hard.

Then we have Ciara, a girl who for the most part lived all around the city, grew up listening to the likes of Janet & Michael Jackson (Michael being her biggest inspiration), decided when was 13 years-old & living in Atlanta that she wanted to pursue a career in music. She didn't have the training in singing that Beyonce did, but she had years of practice when it came to dancing. Ciara for the most part of her teenage years lived a normal life, when she was 16 she got a record deal with Laface/Zomba records & went into extreme training, with her voice & dancing, but i think she missed out on the crucial parts as a little girl to develop that voice & to make an impression with it. She gets tired from dancing so hard that she barley has time to catch her breath to even sing, let alone sing well. I think she has a nice voice, IMO I think that she sings very well when standing still (with the exception of Never Ever, I mean that's a hard song to sing, & I applaud Ciara for challenging her vocal ability), we all saw the webisodes where she actually sounded good & was working on her voice with her vocal coach. I think that if Ciara had the training Beyonce had growing up, she'd be able to hold her own when it comes to singing.

And that there folks is my OPINION, you don't have to like it, just respect it.
