In reply to Liberation.

I think it boils down purely to that fact that she has no real discernible talent when it comes to singing.., this isn't shade either it is just fact. She can perform her butt off but does not have much beyond heavy breathing and that unfortunately is only permisable if you're a Jackson, a Smith or from any other rich dynasty (i.e. a successful group) where the public interest was already cemented and goes deeper than your music. People shade Rihanna's voice but she CAN sing enough to entertain her audience's ear. Ciara's music unfortunately is ALL about the producer.., and we're now in an era where producers and songwriters are more sought after than actual recording artists.
