July 9th marks the spot for the launch of Ciara’s new album ‘Ciara’, set for launch via the geniuses over at EPIC!
Last night, in pushing the album to more of the world, ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ aired his performances of the singer’s cuts ‘Body Party’ and ‘I’m Out’ to his audience, met with outstanding reviews and a sales spike of the album on iTunes USA!
Was she any good?
The answer to that should be obvious by now, but in case it isn’t…..

hey bby!
Ciara Killed it as always!!! July 9th Baby! Lets get it Cici.
Nope not it
STop with the hate! Let her win while our Queen is on break! everyone go support Ciara on July 9th…the billboard charts is full of other genre! Please stop the hate and help each other win! you can barely see urban music on the billboard charts!!
Exactly. These folks aren’t realizing the real impact of all our artists having to “go pop” in order to score billboard hits. Some of it is cool but sometimes that edm sound is too much. I like Urban music and want to keep it alive. Ciara should get props for staying so consistent to it for so many years. Just my opinion
KING B thanks for that.
Basic.
ROSIE Would you Quietly Stfu, Please.
Go cici !!
Wow.. this’s my first time to watch any of her live performances, she’s very good
She is an Amazing performer. She gives you awards show quality every single time. There was a time not too long ago when that was really important. Not so much these days
So many R&B b****** are releasing projects in 2013! Competition…yessss I love it! The gurls are gonna bring the claws out this year, and I’m ready!! Nice performance Ciara. 🙂
YAY 🙂
Nice
I was weak too…watching her pat her pum pum ….that Rihanna Reigh!!! lmaoooo
She needs to start wearing cute outfits with Flirty bright colours.
Time to leave the baggy sweatpants in the workout room.
I agree…
It depends where she’s performing. Some of her tour outfits are tight, leather, some are breathable. . she’s always had the “TOMBOY” lane
she can keep the tomboy, but she kinda needs to make it Flirty, like brighten it up a bit.
I think she should just be herself, she’s most confident that way. She’s got her own style and she’s comfortable with it. Last time she tried to put on bright feminine s*** yall said she was copying Beyonce. You can’t win for losing. Just DO YOU and win or lose that way.
Yes she do, Ciara has a Beautiful Tall Model Body.
You couldn’t even see her dance moves due to those clothes. They disappeared into the background.
She’s an amazing performer & artist.
I saw you agree with me in the other post. I knew you loved me, stretched hole queen.
Smile For Peace & Harmony to stay,always.
Why are you so bitter?
Don’t become lovebird boo
YASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! live band, live vocals.. I LIVE!
getcho CAKE AHHP!!!! oh yay-yay-yay 😛
LMAO thats exactly how she sounds when she says it..
Is that New York in your picture, lol! I luv that woman!!!
She did good. But what was on kimmel last night was only the first performance. The second wasn’t shown(his show ran out of time) and I was PISSED. But still, good promo!!!
she’s #9 on itunes pre-orders alone :-p
Shes climbing and shes in full Promo mode.
Ciara needs to open up to a new choreographer styling her routines for her. As much as Ciara models herself after Janet, it’s odd that she doesn’t try to mimic the impact Janet has had from using different dance styles and choreography. She’s overdue for a change-up.
She changes her style (Gimme dat) included stepping with a fraternity. The only thing Janet did that Ciara hasn’t done is to include more interpretive dance (Together Again) Ciara is very street & edgy
I love Body Party. I just cant get into Im Out. I sure hope there is some real r&b on this album. i will buy it if it is an r&b album.
But I dont really buy a lot rap and I think she might have a lot of rap songs on her Cd so I will wait.
I hope it is good and I hope she does a tour
The album leaked…and its very rnb with dui and body party being very strong singles
she’s a hell of a live performer…to deny it would be super pressed.
I have pre ordered it on Itunes!!! 🙂
I heard a lot of people have. They say she’s like number 10 or somthing on iTunes with just pre-orders, does that mean her album is selling a lot already? I don’t really know about all that stuff.
^9. and yes. Basic instinct (once it came out) only got to 12 on itunes, so that means it has done over 40-50k already.. Thats not including Target or Amazon preorders
Oh ok! Thanks @FAF
It was so refreshing to read a pleasant exchange between two people on this site for a change. lol
Lmao @word you are crazy!!!! Lol but so right!!!
I hope her album does good! she said she wanted to do atleast 1.5 mil. Record
Another Cici performance that slays!!!! This girl is doing this in her sleep! She’s has my money July 9th! Good luck Ci!
Another Cici performance that slays!!!! This girl is doing this in her sleep! She’s has my money July 9th! Good luck Ci!
@RoyalKev yes I so agree.
BEYONCE COUNTDOWN WAS WAY BETTER BECAUSE SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL.
Give it up, it’s Ciara Time! “No need to throw shade if ya ain’t getting paid”!
Irrelevant to the post, but did anyone see her on chelsea handler? I missed it so sam could u post it, pleeeease!!!!!
I don’t Stan for anyone but I must admit she has come along way since 1 2 step…& Goodies..Not Mad@ her I Might Purchase this album especially since she gives me a Better Janet Jackson vibe with a Better Voice cuz Ms.Jackson voice is THE FOOL!! Go In Ciara Let Have!!
To be fair though, Ciara hasn’t been relevant for years now. Which is a shame, she’s talented, but she has the worst management out of any artist I’ve ever seen.
CIARA SLAYS LIVE HONEY, please dont sleep on her, she is making me love the IM OUT song, cause I wasnt sold @ 1st, BUT PLEASE KEEP DANCING GIRL U KILL IT! BODY PARTY IS MY JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
She did really good. I loved her tribute to Joe at the end
LETS BE REAL…IF KELLY ROWLAND ALBUM DIDN’T BLOW UP THE CHARTS…THEN U ALREADY KNO CIARA ALBUM WILL NOT HAVE OUTSTANDING FIRST WEEK SALES….CIARA WHO???
Guh stop!
Sweetie Ciara’s album isn’t released yet and she’s at number 9 on itunes. Kelly released last week and is at number 51? Now wtf are you talking about?
Damn Ci! You did that. Rihanna who? lol
Lil Ms Sunshine Rihanna

Live Your Life Rihanna.
I am really pulling for Ciara. I feel sorry for her because she does have some talent but if this album flops it might be time to move on to a new hustle cause the music ain’t for her.

All I ask is which last 3 Ciara albums flopped? Don’t give me anything but the last three albums that you say flopped? Thanks!
I loved it… gone head Cici… I cant deal with that “yea yea yeah” she does at the end, but the rest was good.
I love to see her dance…. on BP all she did was roll her body and the crowd started yelling… lol.
Wow..such high praise for mediocre talent these days, its a wonder that robots haven’t replaced real singers and performers. Ciara is in the group of basics who know how to dance and have weak voice. I’m not much of a Janet fan, but ciara’s whole career could be bested just by rhythm nation itself. If you guys like it, I love it. BTW the ciara album is her worse album yet! It sucks! Gimme Gaga,Pink,Beyonce(ole lying talented ass,damn if she didn’t steal songs and ish I ‘d be a stan) These three have mastered the balance of performing. If you think those struggle vocals are good then you must not listen to other genres of music or have an understanding of singing.
Yes but it is a good thing to hope and have Faith,we never know what tomorrow is going to bring, think positive and let the chips fall where they may.
Wow, such critical comments from someone who has no credentials. Sit down. If Ciara is mediocre, what makes Janet? She sure as hell wasn’t anyone’s powerhouse singer at all. She was lucky she put her vocals in layers and could afford good songwriters/producers in her heyday, otherwise she would’ve been crushed by the Whitney/Mariah/Celine competition.
Ciara is Ciara. She does her own thing, and she works with what she’s got. There’s no comparison to anyone else. She doesn’t rely on overdramatic stage props, cheap stripper costumes, and culture shock dramatics to sell her talent. Leave that extra mess for YOUR faves.
Now you may fall back. Have a librarian seat.
Brand Star, take your ass to sleep! You want to go at Beyonce when she would sing your flop ass fave under the car she drove to hit those innocent people with
What credentials do you have, I mean you Stan for a flop who reached her commercial peak over 20 years ago!
You took all that time to try and go hard and everything you said was a lie and biased opinions
Brandy will never get a gold album or hit again besides being a B side on the R&B Charts
brandy’s fan claim she is legend and no one outside of their gay community knows her
They say she is the voice but every artist I named sings better.
As far as Janet, b**** when will Ciara EVER get to that NEVER
And another thing. Let me take a few more shots at your faves.
Would beyonce be as successful as she is without DC? Probably not. Ciara didn’t need a group to jumpstart her career. When will beyonce stop resorting to use s** to sell? Exactly, like that BET Awards performance when she sang Ave Maria, no one was here for that. I admit, beyonce is talented but no one cares for beyonce or takes her seriously unless she’s taking her clothes off, gyrating in a tacky ass leotard.
Pink is lucky that she got to tour with Justin Timberlake as that essentially rejuvenated her career that was at a crossroads.
Gaga is a gimmick. She’s nothing but a cheap attempt to be a modern incarnation of Madonna. She’s the epitome of what I’d consider “Manufactured talent”, along the lines of Rihanna. No one would care for her either if she wore regular clothes and performed regular songs. So again, you may be seated.
Since B****** WANNA OPEN THE BEYONGE GOLDEN GATE….LET GO!!
We aren’t ones to knock Oprah, but when we found out that the Forbes List of The Most Powerful Celebritiesgave her the top slot over Beyoncé, we kind of thought it was blasphemy. After all, Oprah even had B as a guest on her show to ask her the million dollar question: Does Beyonce feel pressure to out-Beyoncé herself? In our eyes, this whole year has been one continuous moment for Queen B and we can give 5 solid reasons why she should have been numero uno:1. She is EVERYWHERE:We’re only halfway through 2013 and B has already performed at President Obama’s Inauguration, covered GQand Vogue (the mag’s best-selling cover in the first four months of 2013 with 340,000 copies sold), starred in campaigns for H&M swimwear and Diet Pepsi, launched The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, had her own HBOdocumentary Beyoncé: Life Is But a Dream, took a million breaths away as the finale arrival at the Met Gala, AND performed at the The Sound of Change Live concert that is believed to have reached over 1 billion people. Oh, and please recall one of her most famous performances of all, below.2. She literally shut down the Super Bowl:During Beyoncé’s Super Bowl performance, over 5.5 million tweets were sent out and the stadium was so captivated by her show that the superdome lights went out. It’s been said that 108.4 million tuned into the broadcast, putting it at No. 3 on TV’s list of all-time-most-watched programs. Damn, B!3. She keeps it real:Over the past couple of months, B’s slamming bod has been the subject of much dialogue and debate. One situation in particular, where H&M foolishly attempted to photoshop the songstress in their swimwear campaign, shed light on the larger issue at hand. While many celebrities would invite their photos to be edited so that they look trimmer, B said absolutely not and demanded they display her real body. A size-honest womanwith some serious clout is exactly what this industry needs.4. She managed to kick ass while raising a newborn baby:Beyoncé managed to do all of the above while raising her first child, the adorable Blue Ivy, thus proving that she actually is as powerful as a super hero.5. She’s a role model young women can actually relate to:People have tried to claim that Beyoncé is far too much of a s** symbol to be a role model, and to that we say, “Oh, hell no.” She is empowered by her sexuality, but doesn’t exploit it like so many we lik). She embraces her curvaceous frame and encourages girls to do the same. And seriously, she is a self-made star that has been in the business since 1997 and showed that hard work and dedication can really put you on top of the world.
And YALL HAVE THE NERVE!!!!! TO SAY “BEYONCE ALWAYS DO S** SALES”
Let Me reFRESH YALL BASIC ASS MEMORIES.
Ciara “RIDE” was BANNED BY MTV,B.E.T & UK MUSIC CHANNELS…SO LETS NOT GO THERE ABOUT BEYONCE BEING OVERLY SEXUAL BECAUSE CIARA FLOP ASSSSS WAS TALKING “RIDING D****!!!!!” “D***!!”
Since yall still hating on QUEEN B ..MAY I CONTINUE?
16 Grammys. 4 solo platinum albums. Billboard Artist of the Millenium Award. A sold-out concert in 22 seconds. A starring role in a Clint Eastwood film. Beyoncé’s accomplishments would make one think she’s on top of the world.
But in the court of public opinion, it’s like the superstar can’t do anything right. Critics tear her apart with rumors that she sabotages the careers of former Destiny’s Child members, including her best friend, Kelly Rowland. They make fun of her less-than-stellar acting performances and dwell on the lukewarm reception of “Run The World (Girls).” More recently, her guest feature “Lift Off” from Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne received the same mediocre love.
Our culture has a tendency to put artists on a pedestal only to knock them unceremoniously off immediately after. Here are 10 reasons why we shouldn’t let that happen to Beyoncé:
1. She has crossover appeal as a black female artist.
Bey’s international acclaim is undeniable. In countries like Egypt and Japan, fans knew every word to “Irreplaceable” and “Single Ladies,” which is an achievement in itself. When you add that the artist performing those tracks is a black girl from Texas, it’s even more awe-inspiring.
2. She puts on a good show.
It’s true that she doesn’t have the best voice we’ve ever heard and isn’t the best dancer we’ve ever seen, but as a package, Beyoncé wins! She’s talented, beautiful, ambitious, hard-working and meticulous about her image. And umm, have you seen her perform?! She is hands down one of the greatest entertainers of our generation. She isn’t perfect but appreciate her for what she does bring to the table.
3. Bey and Jay are a beautiful representation of black love.
Most celebrities head to divorce court as often as they do the club. Not Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The power couple has been together 10 years and counting, and they are still very much in love. Their commitment and dedication to each other is a positive representation of black love that’s inspiring to all who witness it.
4. She gives back.
Beyoncé makes sure to give back to those less fortunate and not for notoriety or acclaim either. She showed up at elementary schools and recorded a video, “Move Your Body,” to help our FLOTUS Michelle Obama fight childhood obesity. She dedicated her check from Cadillac Records to the Phoenix House where she and mom, Tina Knowles started a cosmetology school. Bey does her part to help the community, and that’s commendable.
5. She is dedicated to empowering women.
Critics are quick to call Beyoncé’s championing of women’s empowerment a gimmick. #Stopit5! One look at her all-female band, and you can tell she’s serious. She could’ve chosen any musician in the world but made a point to hire women. That sends a message to girls that they can play any instrument they choose. And it teaches women that we should use our success to put others on. Now, that’s sisterhood.
She works hard.
Beyoncé is easily one of the hardest working people in the music industry. From her amazing live show to the 72 songs she recorded for the 4 album, she puts 100% into everything she does. How many people are so dedicated to their dream they’d run in heels while singing at 16 years old? One thing you can’t argue in regard to Bey’s success: she’s earned it.
7. She’s humble.
Though she’s got a big ego, she keeps the Sasha Fierce bravado on wax. Everyone that has met her in real life describes her as a shy, humble and down-to-earth Southern belle.
8. She celebrates her curves.
Along with Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé was one of the first pop stars to embrace curves and make voluptuous figures desirable to the mainstream. With her curve-hugging dresses and anthems, she has shapely women everywhere loving their bootylicious frames.
9. She never resorts to gossip.
No matter how bad the rumor (like claims she fired her father for stealing money), Beyoncé always takes the high road. She never indulges in mudslinging for the press and stays above the fray. You’ve got to respect that.
10. She’s a business, man!
Queen B was listed as the #2 most powerful woman in Forbes for a reason. In addition to her many endorsement deals and successful fashion lines, she brings in millions from her world tours, #1 albums and DVDs. Suga mama, indeed.
What are some other reasons the hate on Beyoncé needs to cease?
When CIARA is on that GLOBAL LEVEL..OF NOT JUST BEYONCE!! But LADY GAGA , ADELE, TAYLOR SWIFT, JENNIFER HUDSON, JENNIFER LOPEZ, RIHANNA, NICKI MINAJ, MARY J , MARIAH CAREY..THE LIST GOES ON
WE ALL CAN HOPE, DREAM , PRAY, FANTASIZE EVEN DEBATE IF AND THAT CIARA WILL BE ONCE AGIN LIKE THE LAST TO ALBUMS ..FANTASY RIDE AND BASIC INSTINCT..WILL SHE FLOP AGAIN..SADLY YES..
HER ALBUM COMES OUT LIKE 2 days after jay z…DO YALL REALLY THINK PEOPLE WILL GIVE 2 f****..NO!!!! AND PEOPLE CAN SAY IM BEING MEAN WELL IDGAF BECAUSE YALL GO IN ON RIRI, ASHANTI, AND BEY..ANYONE WHO.NT CICI, THE SAME WAY..
THE FACT THE EVERYBODY WANNA SAY “she killing the game”??? Yall setting yourself up for a big super failure/FLOP..
NUFF SAID…GOODNIGHT 🙂
GIRL YOU BETTER PREACH!
I am a bey fan but you sound stupid. Was all that called for. Ciara doing her and what are you and your follower lol doing???????
Ill wait…….
All those f****** paragraphs.
I’m a big Beyonce fan and (not an obsessed like you stan who clearly has a lot of time to write long paragraphs about how much Beyonce has impacted culture). Yes, she’s a global musical icon and is miles ahead of Ciara so why do so much to discredit her. Is it because her fans are so happy to see her more confident than ever and earning critical acclaim? It’s people like you that baffle me because you say Beyonce empowers women but are you following the example of your fave by trashing Ciara just to uplift Bey? Doesn’t Ciara work hard? Isn’t she humble? Does she not give back? Just because she’s not as famous and as successful or is seen as a flop does not mean SOME of the qualities you listed are not applicable to her. I sometimes leave short comments on this site but this was so unneeded I had to respond. Just move on and stop making yourself look very, very pressed. Oh and nice performance, Ci, good looking out July 9th!
COPIED AND PASTED B****…and s*** I will be obsessed…igive kno f**** LMAO ..But, YOU are the onE actually WRITING A LONG AS PARAGRAPH…ALL BECAUSE U WANNA COMMENT ON MY BIBLE SCRIPT.
