R&B star Ciara sizzles in a barely there two-piece in US Magazine’s Hot Bodies issue. The ‘Ride’ singer posed for the mini-shoot on the rooftoop of the Mondrian SoHo Hotel in New York recently.
Gushing on her body, she said:
I feel sexiest when I’m by myself, walking around nude. That’s when I feel really good. I have this new obsession with nudity. It may sound weird, but I just love embracing the body. I think it’s beautiful. {Source}
However, most noteworthy in the feature is the announcement that the 25 year old is set to embark on a Summer tour. The news will no doubt delight fans who, since the release of the ill-fated ‘Basic Instinct’ LP last year, have seen very little of the performer. Particularly on a musical tip.
Yet, in as much as it’s great to see Ms. Harris hustle her way back to the top, one has to wonder what kind of tour she’s looking to set out on. For, with no ‘hit’ to back its cause (not to mention the dismal sales of ‘Instinct’), it’ll definitely be interesting to see if fans flock to any such live set.
Still, given her undeniable ability to thrill as a performer, this could very well be just what she needs to reconnect with her base. Time, as ever, will tell.
I am sorry but there is no way that Ms. Harris is ever going to make a comeback. She just does not have what it takes, and the pictures are tacky as hell (although she does have a nice body)
A TOUR Is Def. What She Needs And Music That Connects With Her Fans AND NO Pushbacks.. She Has Potential, No One Can Deny That. For Me As A Fan, Its The Music As Of Late. Management And Label Issues Most Of All. She Just Has To Make Music To Satisfy The Masses Instead Of Atlanta. No Pun Intended, But I Love Hood Ciara But Its Time To Show GROWTH AND VARIETY! Like Fantasy Ride 2.0 music wise..
Hopes, Dreams, and Wishes because anit nobody going to that S***, a waste of many, unless she tours in hole in the wall clubs for about a grand a pop, that’s the only way I can see her touring! @KD you are correct its no way she can make a comeback!
Believe it or not Ciara has been booking stages since the beginning of the year and there are no signs of slowing down, and she has even more booked throughout the summer, I think she can pull off a small tour, nothing big without a label pushing her or an album to promote, Ciara has fans and I’m quite sure people are more than thrilled to go out to she her perform. Her career is not over, she needs a great marketing team, better producers and a label that is able to stand behind her 100% and I guarantee Ciara will be back amongst the top females in the industry, even if her music career does not pick up substantially she has other ventures where she makes money i.e. modeling, dance, acting…
What is it? A Free Concert? Outside venue. Budget 5 dollars
Shell have a fuller house than rihanna in the US. I garauntee. Plus what hit did Janet have to tour with. Exactly she has a great catalog and can do small venues
Now you like nudity? Ever since you got a new set of boobs is when you started to embrace your body.? Wow such a great example. NOT!
WHERE SHE GONNA TOUR ?
BUS STOPS ?
SUPERMARKETS ?
GAS STATIONS ?
FLOP
It’s my Birthday today so I’m gonna keep it cute! Good luck, Ciara! 😀
Ill be going to that concert! Haterz STFU! You ppl be the fisrt ones to comment. If you dont like her why the f*** on you on a post about her???? Doesnt make sense to me. I dont like rihanna but do u see me on her wack ass s*** hatin on it?
Yeah Ciara better make that money because I’m sure she got a lot is bills to pay.

THIS! >>>>>>>>>>
Dead @ people being mad though. Like they said she has been booked throughout the summer & fans will be pleased to see her. One thing we don’t have to worry about is boring performances, or lip syncing. Our tour will SLAY! Small or not, she’s doing something & getting paid. We don’t have to worry about the high celebrity name carrying the tour instead of the actual talent & performances, Ala Rihanna & Britney Spears for example.
all the ciara haters please continue because your HATE obvious means you care a lot about our CiCi. When they said that she would be touring , im sure that including being apart of a tour, like the one she did with keri hilson and them in Australia. Even if it’s her own tour she will do well. She does have potential, and her career is far from over. I mean Basic Instinct sold didnt it? so it was below what people expected, that bish still moved units. With a new label, management, and a visual/artistic image Ci will be back up with her contempories. So watch this space……….
LMFAO BUS STOPS,SUPERMARKETS,GAS STATIONS
I love cici. She’s super talented but….she had a b*** back in her goodie days. Im on my phone but its lookin a bit flat
Chilee I know this Big CAR PARK that she can perform in. It won’t cost her a thang she can matrix all day.
Ciara has been doing a lot of show actually. She did shows in ATL and DC, a tour in Australia., currently touring South Africa and she has shows in Vegas in June.
She’s a great live performer. Least of her worries.
IT WILL BE HER OWN TOUR SO U HATERS SHUT THE F*** UP
YALL WORRYING BOUT WHY BEYONCE FLOPPING….AND STEALING AS USUAL
HER FIRST SINGLE FLOPPED AND THAT TIL THE END OF TIME S*** WACK AND THAT 1+1 S*** IS GARBAGE
DONT WORRY BOUT CIARA SHE WILL BE JUST FINE….AND IN THE MEANTIME SHE TOUCHDOWN IN AFRICA ABOUT TO START TOUR TOMORROW UNTIL JUNE 4TH…
@ KING#15:
Well Bey unlike Ciara has made her mark in the music industry. Who else would have people of such high caliber i.e. Michele Obama, Stevie Wonder, Bono etc. say the things they said about her during the BBMA? Definately not Ciara…the reason why I posted this is because you felt the need to drag Bey’s name into a post that had nothing to do with her. As for her flopping if you call #11- 1+1 and #18 Run the world ,on the itunes chart, a flop then what is to be said about Ciara? When last did she feature on iTunes? So it looks like it’s Bey we should not be worrying about then doesn’t it?
Please leave Beyonce out of this. She has her own ‘challenges’ to deal with right now.
Woooooow Damn This iss just Wooow Gooo Girl <3
Ciara, girl I hope that this new album is good. I love alot of Ciara’s music but she hasn’t been delivering lately.
AAAAHHH SHE’S SO HOT.
BEST OF LUCK TO CIARA CANT WAIT FOR HER NEW MATERIAL
YES SHE DESERVES IT! FINALLY! WOO CIARA!
@ KD
U STUPID SISSY BUM I BROUGHT HER UP BECAUSE OF HER UGLY ASS STANS ALWAYS TRYNA DOWN SOMEBODY
AND HOW BAD DID THAT LOOK FOR BEYONCE TO HAVE PEOPLE SAY NICE THINGS BOUT U THEN U GO PUT ON A STOLEN PERFORMANCE…GTFOH
CIARA SOLD OVER 9 MILLION ALBUMS WW OVER 17 MILLION RECORDS WW…SHE HAS A GRAMMY…BILLBOARD AWARD…AMA…MTV…BET AND ASCAP AWARD
CIARA HAS CLEARY MADE SOME TYPE OF STITCH IN THE INDUSTRY BEING THAT SHE IS STILL BEING TALKED ABOUT EVERYDAY
WILL BE GETTING TICKETS!
lol @ ain’t nobody going to that s***!
It’s not even a real fashion shoot. Girl, put your cakes away.
I feel bad for Ciara her kind of style and music is just going, going …gone. The Bikini would look better had the bottoms been boy shorty short her booty cheeks are tight and it looks like she has a wedgy…beautiful girl…but had she came out in the 80’s OH BOY!!!!
wow, i see we have “gods” amongst us who can predict a woman’s destiny. u sit behind a pc n think that gives u mandate to to ridicule a hardworking woman. everybody jus checks for whose number 1 this week. u dont care for the hustle, u cant appreciate her drive (the world is a sad place). unfortunately there are loads of people like @KELLY creeping around us. i hope no struggling person ever comes across u. your animosity reeks from miles away.
when tide turns around as in kelly rowland’s case, then the negative comments go down several notches, sheepish hypocrites
@YOUR QUEEN
happy birthday boo
Do your thang Ciara!
Well, damn CiCi tell us all your business! Lol! I guess there is nothing wrong with being comforable in your own skin but I really just think she said this to get people talking. Everybody’s been on the ‘s** sales’ thing lately, always dropping extra information in interviews, I think it’s tacky & it doesn’t work for everybody. I.E. Keri Hilson!
She looks good, even though I think her body looks kinda ‘hard’. IMHO!
The tour thing sounds good, just cause her album flopped doesn’t mean she can’t tour. She has a catalouge and has plenty of hits to perform. Plus performing is her strong point., she might win some of fan base back & get some buzz for her new material. If she hopes on tour with a hot artist that could help. I always thought her & Breezy going on tour would be a great, since they are both in the same lane. He should be going on tour this summer so maybe they can make it work. I had heard they were gonna tour together anyways.
I think its too soon to tell if she will ever be able to make a big comeback on the music sceen. She is a great performer but as an artist you have to make music that people want to hear in order to perform it. Both of her last two albums were just lack luster. She is really gonna have to deliver some decent material this time around, work with hot producers & songwriters. Have she even been ‘officialy signed’ to a new label yet?

WHERE SHE GONNA TOUR ?
BUS STOPS ?
SUPERMARKETS ?
GAS STATIONS ?
LOLLLl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT MITE BE THEATERS THO, OR HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUMS
Why?
If rihanna can do it Ciara can do it better. She sings better and dances better. Please support Ciara. society tell people they not good enough too often. She has what it takes. She just need a good team. Rihanna has nothing but a good team behind her. When she ages I wonder what she will be left with. When that b**** is broke the public will never know because her manager always shield her financially. ever wonder why she never makes forbes. ( poor celebrity )
Ciara have a lot of potential but where is the team.
I am not a fan of either but god knows everyone sees who is more talented
Go Ciara.
@ king #15 I was going to keep it cute but since you bring in B. Ciara is the biggest flop in History. Sorry to say that now. Lets us see her run her world tour. FLOP. Beyonce need not to impress right now. Hence the reason she is taking a risk. No one has to like the music, She will learn and grow, and set the pace for the next 10 yrs to come.
Never bring Beyonce on a post with Ciara this is so wrong. Are we talking about Beyonce who Took over a decade and now millennium artist. If I were Beyonce I would give it up an try to give ciara a chance but hell NO. B**** sit down. Worry about Ciara to see if she will atleast make artist of the year.
Shame on her , having Rihanna to do bigger things than her worry about that!!!!!
Beyonce has left these b****** way behind. Did you not read billboard??? These female. artist have a long way to match up to B’s status and she is still QUEEN. Keep on dreaming. She is no longer an it girl. She is an icon at 29. Youngest to ever make history in music history. worry about Ciara making her mark in music B****
Just for Ciara sake…..GOOD LUCK
@ KING 15 , of all persons to bring in the argument. Of all persons? You frustration of your idol’s failure is passed on to the most adored and recognizable successful pop star who has made HISTORY twice right after her comeback.
Nothing more…… Sad people. You may have to stay frustrated the rest of the year and next year sorry to say that.
Damn she ain’t got NOOOOO ass!
co-sign with dave!!!!
after the shade jive built up around her this is just what she needs to get back in the global sales market. Ciara is a performer not just a nice voice so she has got to do what she does best and keep hitting those stages!!!!
NOW HURRY ON BACK TO THE UK SO I CAN CI YOU AGAIN!!!!!!! ^_^
This is GREAT news!!!!!! I’ll be there if she comes to Dallas!
I have been saying to friends all along that CiCi needs to do her OWN tour to promote her BRAND.
It’s cool to open for others and make that money she also needs to connect closely with HER own fans (not just online) with a House of Blues style tour…. meet and greets, etc……. She needs to show people why she’s the BEST.
Don’t worry about fans coming out. She will probably do an Intimate show….. All she has to do is annouce that she will perform her greatest hits. She has plenty of R&B top ten songs and she is the best dancer of her generation. CICI WILL BE FINE. …. IF THE PERFORMANCES ARE GREAT AND HIP HOP/R&B MEDIA ARE THERE TO SEE IT THEN SHE WILL CREATE A BUZZ.
She just needs make sure every performance of each song is well produced like Beyonce and Usher’s performances. She has a bad habit of taking out the good coreography and leaving in the simple/boring grinding part of her coreography from videos I’ve seen of her but she can comeback. Good luck CiCi!!
MY DREAM SETLIST FOR SHOW –
1. GOODIES
2. 1,2 STEP
3. OH ( ALL OF THE COREOGRAPHY FROM VIDEO PLEASE)
4. RIDE
5. LIKE YOU
6. PROMISE
7.LOVE, S**, AND MAGIC
8.LIKE A BOY
9. CANT LEAVE HIM ALONE
10. THUG STYLE
11.GET UP ( ALL OF THE COREOGRAPHY PLEASE… NO HALF STEPPIN)
12. NEVER EVER
13. GIMME DAT ( FULL ON COREOGRAPHY PLEASE)
14.GO GIRL
15. THAT’S RIGHT
To the person that said Ciara made the comment about liking nudity for attention. Hello! This is the same person that was sliding down a pole on the scream tour. This is the same person that ‘s been booty poppin and singing about s** . This is the same person that made a song about riding d*** last year…so how is she saying this because she wants attention and is just starting to sell s**. She has been like this for some time now. Try again.
To those bringing up her breast implants…did she say she liked her body because of that? No. She said she likes nudity meaning all of the body. Do you all bring up Kelly Rowland’s implants, nose job and how she got her teeth fixed? Stop looking for something negative all the time.
Beyonce is taking a risk??? How, by biting Lady GaGa and Rihanna. Nothing Beyonce is doing is original.
IDK WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO HATE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL TALENTED WOMAN! IT’S SAD WHEN PEOPLE WITH TALENT GET LEFT BEHIND AND THE PEOPLE WITH NO TALENT GET ALL THE PRESS, THE SPOTLIGHT, THE FANS, AND THE LOVE. I LOVE YOU CICI AND CONTINUE ON DOING YOUR THING.
TSK TSK TSK AND SHE STILL HAVE MORE MONEY, FAME, AND TALENT THAN ANY OF YOU TYPING ON THIS SITE!!!!!!!! GET A LIFE AND A JOB AND STOP WITH THE HATING ON THE BLOGS. YA’LL LOOK SO SO SO SAD WHY ARE YOU SO MAD BYTCHES???????? KEEP DOING UR THING CI CI
CERROR is in shape, but she’s build like a young man and looks like a t***** in the face. I am sick and tired of these untalented females selling s**. It’s disgusting and so desperate. CERROR should be ashamed of herself. I just wonder what her parents and pastor think of this!
She needs to give it up. Music isn’t for everyone. She has fallen off ever since her second album! Evolution only sound a million copies while Fantasy Ride and Basic Instinct didn’t even come close to going GOLD! She can perform all she wants but that gets old quick and who the hell is going to watch her perform…. the 60,000 people across America who bought her latest album? LOL. She’ll be able to perform at small venues, but that’s it. Her touring with Timbaland, Lil Kim, and a bunch of other has beens in Africa is laughable! She’s 25 and hasn’t accomplished much in her career. These singers/rappers are bad role models of musicians. They don’t even take the time to go to college and get a degree when they fall flat on their faces.
