With US Urban radio continuing its embrace of Ciara‘s ‘Sorry’, the sultry songstress has taken the track International – performing it during a high-profile show in South Africa last night.
How did she fare? The answer awaits after the jump…
Clearly more an “introduction” to the track than a full-on “Ciara showcase”, we’re thinking this could have probably waited until the necessary bells and whistles were put into place to ensure it lived up to her usual stage-blazing standards. Still, technically not a “bad”.
flop; will be dropped
You ain’t Neva lied…
Aye u MONSTER B****…lil kim has a reality show on tv1!! WINNING!! SAM WONT POST IT BUT I DURE SS F*** WILL!
‘sure as’
what da phuck is she wearing?! knee pads? cape?
KELLY you can change your name many time we still know you a Goat fan
Rishitta stans will say anything to attempt shade at Slayara. True perfomer! No p**** pats in jordans and her brothers t-shirt!
i love you Ci-Ci. keep up the hard work. C-SQUAD! OWA coming DEC. 4th. cant wait!
YASSSSSSS! QUEEN !
She SLAYED! Not her best vocally, but it was her first time! Good job, Ci!
What does that have to do with anything? She’s been in the business for 8 years. That’s no excuse lmao!!!
im in love with this song, but i just wish her voice was more showcased here….she looked like she was struggling alot, and i want her to come back stronger than that
I don’t Ciara’s good at projecting her voice over the production, however accapella did sound nice!
*think*
When she sang acapella > beautiful
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! BUT AFRICA NEED TO GET THEY AUDIO TOGETHER…AS FAR AS HER SHE DID GREAT!!! I BOUGHT IT ON ITUNES!
Acapella was great, but im sure she’s gonna kill the real first live performance of Sorry
That acapella towards the end was one of the best I have heard her sing live – Keep it up Ciara! x
how is her song doing on iTunes?
Um it aint even in the top twenty!! But DIAMONDS IS NO. ONE ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!
Sorry it aint even in the top 50!!
Kelly why are speaking to yourself? Uhm anyway Ciara peaked within the top 40 stayed there for a few days and is #72 now plus You can’t Compare SIA generic Straight up Pop ballad to a RnB song? Are dumb your ass should know Pop and dance are the IN thing right now so for Ciara to peak within top 40 for a RNB song is good considering there’s only 3 RNB songs on the top 100 last I checked (Ciara. Alicia and miguel)
how is Rihanna nivea endorsement going?
@FAF: GURL!!!!!! 😆
I don’t know why she isn’t promoting the damn song in the US because its already falling out of itunes. I don’t think South Africa gives a s*** about her much less any song that is not dancey. I love the song but if you really want to climb your way back to the top you need to promote your new music in the states first.
Ciara is pretty Big here How can You say they don’t care when she was at 1 of their biggest events (I live there) so I know
Yes she should promote it in the US but we F**** with ciara in Africa.We love her! we care about her! 🙂
A lil vocal improvement I see still ain’t gon cut it… sorry is dyeing it will be out the us iTunes soon I think its like at 70 something right now smh lol
WHY U CHECKING ON THE QUEEN? LETS SEE WHAT # RISHITTA ALBUM GO TO ….LOL
Cici gets a bad rep! She’s maybe more of a dancer than a vocalist, but she has a naturally pleasant singing voice. There’s definitely some artists around who do a lot worse!

The song is still holding on at #5 on R&B Itunes BTW.

This wasn’t bad but it wasn’t that good either. She shouldn’t sing slow songs. Her vocals did improve tho. It was aite
F*** HER BIGGEST HIT “PROMISE” WAS A SLOW SONG
No no no…sorry but her live performances are horrid if she isn’t dancing. No way would i spend money to hear her sing live. i sound better then that when i am trying to sing in the shower. She should of had a dance song as her first song so she could dance to it as she tries to sing. The dancing would take you away from her weak vocals. Good luck.
b**** shut the f*** up good luck to you
You mad??? lmao Good luck CiCI
Ciara had technical difficulties at the show Their mics didn’t work (shame on you S.A) she had to make a Plan and used the Dj mic When she performs on Tv will be better tho…. Do not compare Diamonds to Sorry! Sorry is a RnB song Diamonds is a straight up generic pop mid tempo
A song R**** didn’t even help write.. DEAD
no writing
no performing skills
POOR RISHITTA no #1 album !
Excuses! She sounded GOD-AWFUL!!!! Where’s the Gong when you need it?????????
Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! lmao
Okay So why are people comparing a RnB ballad to a Pop midtempo Sia song I mean rihanna is obviously gonna do better HELLO its POP use your brain for once in your life
I’m not feeling the rehashed Fantasy Ride superhero outfit. I’m also not here for the weak vocals. This is a ballad, she should be able to just stand and sing the song without gyrating and a wind machine. I thought it was bad with the overpowering backing track, but the acapella was just no!
DRY B**** DRY….
HER VOCALS WERE ON LOW TUMBLE IN THE DRYER…
LIKE WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE A VOCALIST…
LIKE HAVE A SEAT, STICK TO DANCING… SINGING ISN’T YOUR CALLING…
IF CIARA WAS SMART, SHE WOULD TRY TO BECOME THE NEXT PAULA ABDUL…
SHE MADE “AND I” LOOK LIKE “VISION OF LOVE”…. I CAN’T….
WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT F***? VISION OF LOVE? THATS A MARIAH SONG.. LEARN UR ARTISTS, U PEASSY HEADED FLOP !
where did the person say vision of love wasn’t a mimi song? learn to read.
EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES …….ITS NOT THAT ITS A R N B , THE SONG SUCKS AND HER VOCALS R HORRID!……RIRI WENT NUMBER 1 WITH “TAKE A BOW” AND THATS A R N B SONG……SHE JUST NEED TO GIVE IT UP AND BE A SOCIALITE LIKE KIM K AND LALA ……#SORRY FLOP!!!!
CIARA WON A GRAMMY BEFORE R**** AND GON HAVE SUCCESS AFTER HER TIME IS UP!
U MAD ?
ROCNATION BOUT TO SEND THAT ALIEN BACK TO THE ISLANDS AFTER ALBUM #7 WHO GON SIGN HER?
U MAD L.A. REID ROCKING WIT CI ?
U MAD AT THE SUCCESS WRITING FOR OTHER ARTISTS?
THE TALENT AND DANCE SKILLS?
PICK ONE, F*** SHE SHITS ON R**** IN ALL CATEGORIES! SHE AINT GET BOOED OFFF THE STAGE FOR BEING DRUNK LIKE R****!

Love me some Ciara love this song but she needs a fast club banger as her comeback single., she should release 2 singles
Sam u aint gonna post ciara’s Oh performace in South Africa? that was the performance i enjoyed the most.She murdered it!! as usual 🙂
that girl note she can hit notes out the ass gociara #teamciara
I don’t see how any of the 5 members of the “C-SQUAD” can try to come for Rihanna after watching this garbage performance. The sad part is, this is C-error at his best LOL
5 stans oh the delusion within the navy is unbelievable Sadly rihanna doesn’t even have a “Best” can’t sing can’t dance *giggles*
I wish I could go to South Africa.
That country is a >>>>>>>>>>>
Anyway, great job CiCi. When you’re doing your job perfectly, nobody can blame you.
Why is LA Ried dumping more money into Ciara?
Because she’s worth it.
Good JOB CiCi!
C’mon CiCi that outfit looks like the one Britney SPears used to wear in her 1999 BOMT Tour…. Step ur game up Love…..
She will also be performing live tonight on the South African Idols Finale.
she’s coming beside my home and i’m gonna see her live 🙂
hehehehehehe
…
Many of these comments are sadl You CERROR ass lickers wouldn’t know talent if it bit y’all in y’all asses! This performance was freaking horrible and CERROR has a very, very weak voice AKA the b**** can’t sing! Wow, you could barely f****** hear her and that is because her voice is so weak. Riwhorna’s performnces are better than this, and that’s a damn shame because she’s one of the worst performers out right now. AT LEAST YOU CAN HEAR RIHANNA YELLING FOR HELP!
I must say the hate on ciara is sick! The song is really nice, most of yall queens just dont like Ciara as a person. So no matter wtf she does yall queens still wont like her.
She culd sing good and dance good but yall queens still wont like her cuz yall dont like Ciara as a person. Thats just pure ass hate!
It takes more energy for negativity then positivity. Yall sum lame stupid broke queens that dont wana give credit to whr credit is due!
Find a job and vote!! Yall sick queens!
What the hell was that!
This performance was great.!!! She has a lot of stage presence, unlike y’all faves….
Their was technical difficulties, and obviously mic was weak.!
But that acapella was GREAT.!
She def has improved vocally.!!
Ciara needs to go get a decent vocal range and vibrato she getting slayed by the OMG girlz, Rita Ora and every other artist that can sing using two or more octaves. Flat voiced m***********
That acapella >>>>
