It looks like Ciara is finally getting the wheels turning on her ‘Basic Instinct’ promotional wagon. The high energy entertainer sat down with MTV’s ‘The Seven’ to discuss the the album’s latest single, ‘Gimme Dat’, and even spoke about her fitness plan. Peep the footage below courtesy of Ultimate-Ciara:
While it is good to see Ciara finally getting to work on this album’s promotion, it would be even better to see her actually perform some of her singles live (other than in clubs). December 14th is not that far away and without any top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 to generate buzz for the LP she is going to need to put more effort into building public interest.
Nelly waited until the week of his ‘Nelly 5.0’ album’s release before he started doing major promotion and, despite having a major hit with ‘Just A Dream’, he is only predicted to sell 60k. It would be a shame if Ciara met the same fate.
After seeing Rihanna – an arguably bigger artist – only managing to accumulate 180k-190k with the assistance of a massive media blitz weeks in advance and 2 international hits the question arises: what is going to happen to Ciara?
QUEEN
OMG yall saw that behind the scenes video of Gimmie Dat, yall I can’t.
THIS WOMAN IS SO POWERFUL, she was getting it, In that wig too OMG……
That was nice. She was getting it on that Gimmie Dat video……
She is so underrated it’s sad.
I wish people would just let Ciara shine. I hate watching all these other “Artists” perform at award shows, because their singles are selling, but they clearly can’t perform.
Beyonce, Ciara, Chris Brown >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
YES CIARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) I LOVE YOU 🙂 12-14-10- BASIC INSTINCT GO GET THE ALBUM!!!! PLEASEEEEEE 🙂 #TEAMCIARA

IT WILL FLOP ….YEP,YOU KNOW THIS !!!
SHE IS BAD …I SAW ALL THE CLIPS FROM HER VIDEOS AND I AM REALLY IMPRESSED BY HER.TOO BAD,SHE IS GONNA FLOP AGAIN
@queenbeyonce10 PREACH!
As an underdog, I really want her to do well because she has the potential.
Good luc Ci Ci
That was a really nice video, i got to see some footage i was expecting to be released.
Ciara is clearly one of the best dancers and entertainers. It;s so sad that she is underrated.
It’s the reason why I support this girl.
man, this bish stay doing the back bend. if someone broke her legs, where would her career be? I’m tired of seeing that dusty ass back bend, come up with something new!
Can’t wait to snatch up Basic Instint! Dec 14th, C- Day!
Hate to say it but she will flop big time. Her mangement s poor. I don’t understand why she han’t been on one single tv show to perform and why so long from ride release to album release
she ain’t go pass 80k if that and its a shame because she is worthy.
all hail GODara
Yeah she gunna fl0p. no doubt bout dat. Shame coss she haz talent!
~~
Support Ms Kelly Rowland! The QUEEN of DanceRnB
flop waiting tew happen
Good luck to Ciara, I really really DON’T understand why her singles fail. GIMME DAT is such a good song and the video is fantastic!! Ride did god on R&B… and I didn’t expect Speechless to do anything…
she can’t have another massive flop album… Fantasy Ride was a disaster!
And Rihanna is always gonna be one of the main b****** on the pop scene, she is the overtime seller, she will consistently go platinum and the worldwide numbers are looking MUCH MUCH better then Rated R, shes gonna have her biggest opening in the UK this week so its all good there IMO.
cedric tried to cross over and it failed miserably
😆
If this album flops, I think Ciara time is up. It’s not like she has any staying power any way.
Thinking about not voting for Obama in 2012? Watch this video and think again!

What exactly is MTV’s Seven, is this some show that is supposed to gain them credibility as a music station again……….and then go down the sewer like FNMTV?
If Nelly flopped, there is no way Ciara will make it past 50k the first week. It’s a shame because I like her and think she has so much potential, but at the end of the day she can only blame herself and the horrible management she is in.
CIARA HAS NEVER HAD AN ALL DAY CIARA VIDEO DAY, LIKE RITARD RIHANNA HAS HAD OVER AND OVER AND OVER ON FUSE NETWORK. YOU CAN’T GO TO AN INTERNET SITE WITHOUT SEEING RITARD’S FACE PLASTERED ALL OVER IT, OR TURN ON THE TV WITHOUT SEEING THAT NASTY RED HAIR, AND AFTER ALL THAT SHE COULDN’T SELL EVEN 250k. AND SHE DID A WORLD WIDE MUSIC TOUR.
HOW EXTREMELY PATHETIC. THAT NICKI NO TALENT MINAJ IS GOING TO BE THE SAME WAY. BOOTLEGGERS CANT EVEN GIVE THEIR MUSIC AWAY.
fantasy ride is ONE OF HER BEST work. i BELIEVE IT SOLD. RECORD COMPANIES R STEALING FROM ARTIST THESE DAYS. HOWEVER, bootleggers were selling it on the streets of ATL and all over the world for $5 AND in the stores it WAS PRICED WAY TOO HIGH – $23/COPY. WHILE BEYONCE AND OTHERS WERE SELLING FOR A MERE $8/$9 COPY. EVEN JUSTIN BIEBER WAS $9.99 AT WALMART.
CIARA MIGHT HAVE SOLD LESS COPIES BUT THE PROFIT MARGINS WERE HIGHER.
fools talk about ciara’s last chance like they own all the record companies in the world LOL as long as ciara is beautiful, talented, determined, and stays strong, SHE WILL HIT THE TOP JUST LIKE BEY DID. some mistake southern gentle lady charm for weakness, but this girl is the daughter of a strong U.S. soldier. she’ll push her way to the top, while the ritard riri’s of the world and the no talent nicki’s fall by the wayside.
I love cici but how bout some of you stop cussing out other artists. And likewise Drfenty, go get a life and stop hating, both ciara and riri have a better life then you, yet no because of you. Pressed?
@ CIARA BANGING
you mean to tell me fantasy ride was sold @ higher prices and made more profit that rihanna and beyonce?
😆
She’s gonna FLOP PERIOD NEXT !! Ciara can’t be serious !! She really can’t !!
SHE’LL BE LUCKY IF SHE SHIFTS 5 COPIES OF BASTIC STENCH !!!!
shes so cute i love her *play pucker up*
I think people forget FANTASY RIDE sold well INTERNATIONALLY!
In the UK she got her FIRST top 10 album.
It’s such an UNDERRATED album!
In my opinion it wasn’t that ‘pop’ either.
I also think people FORGET that the whole album leaked, and yes just about every artist’s album leak nowadays, but some of the song on fantasy ride leaked a whole YEAR before, yet it still debuted at #3 on Billboard… Some artists can only make that with 2 big singles…
Either way she is an UNDERRATED ARTIST and it is NOT fair!!!
This girl works harder then most.
OK! You damn Ciara stans, I will buy her damn album you guys are worst than the Bey stans LMAO!
keryyyyyyyyyyyyyy
You have no idea what you’re talking about. “Fantasy Ride” was reported to be Ciara’s biggest successful selling album overseas, but that doesn’t mean anything considering the fact that Ciara never sold many albums in different countries! Her album only sold 40,000 overseas and that’s horrible! And LEAKS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH POOR ALBUM SALES! When will people stop using that dumb excuse? Less than 20,000 people download leaked single material! Rihanna’s, Kesha’s, Lady Gaga’s material was leaked before and during the release of their single and albums but yet, they still got number 1’s and sold millions of their singles.
I really want to know how is Ciara one of the hardest working women in the industry? Why because she dances? So what? She isn’t educated about the business and marketing side of the music industry cuz if she was, her management and promo wpuld be on point, and she doesn’t go out of her way for people to hear her music. Hard working women are Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Carrie Underwood. Ciara is untalented and gets a pass because she can do stripper moves. FACE IT, SHE’S OVER AND NEEDS TO FIND ANOTHER JOB!
well just have to wait and see
Didn’t the Dream HIMSELF say that if this album flops, she’s over? I used to like Ciara as a t*** but I can no longer relate to her music. I won’t be purchasing her album.
Dear Haters,
Tell me why ya’ll so madd? Is it that you stan for a b**** who has promo commercials that run every 3 minutes, 2 top 3 singles, has owned itunes for weeks w/her singles (cause thats ALL she’s good for), has been passed around from Jay-Z to LA Reid to Drake to Chris back to Drake, back to Chris to the New dude, back to Drake, who had yet ANOTHER promo push outta this world w/mediocre at best performance, ALL types of product placements (though was clearly quoted saying she HATES product placement), knocks her single price down to .99 to help push Only Girl to #1, who gives out everything including a cure for A*** with the purchase of her album (which will soon be .99 on black friday [see Rated Rusty]) and still takes a year to hit platinum, who is on her 5th album NOT including RE-RELEASE and has BARELY past 16 million sold WW, while Cisus ALMIGHTY has sold half of that w/just 2 albums???? STAY MADD
Or is it that you USED to be a stan (see @Trina) but was unhappy w/;the chart/sale success of FANTASY RIDE and jumped ship yet can’t pass up the chance to “check in” on CIALLAH to see her ‘Work’???
Or could it be that you are fearful of what Ciara is capible of if she were to gain another #1 single, album and generate sales. YOU CANNOT DELAY THE INEVITABLE. This girl WILL prosper. No matter how many of you FLOCK to this post to combat it. IT IS HER DESTINY….
BASIC INSTINCT 12.14.10

I can bet money that Ciara will sell at least 150,000 in the first week with Basic Instinct. And Rihanna only sold 190,000, I honestly expected to sell at least 250,000 in the first week.
