well i think ciara is very tal;ented , she can sing yes it may not be mariah carey or whitney houstopn, but she has a good solid range. silmilar to janet jackson, i am dissappointed that the album sold 55-60 during the first week. i felt her new album is the best since the evolution, i think she needs more vocal traiing and needs to experminment with different sounds. i hope the best for ciara, so far the best female rb album goes to fantasia and then kelly rowland. R&b music just isnt popular now, sales have declined. Brandy, keyshia cole, monica r& stars are fallen off, rihanna and beyonce are bigger appeals because they crossover into dance/pop. i just hope this album goes gold, but it wont go platium, those days are long and gone. she going to have to release 4 singles and all them need to hit top 40 for this album to go gold
