  2. Rosie December 7, 2013

    The excuses.

  3. body ache (Britney stan) December 7, 2013

    Damn atleast it reached number 1

  4. body ache (Britney stan) December 7, 2013

    @Rosie and what’s lanas excuse for not having a platinum album in her own territory!?

  5. Tallb December 7, 2013

    i did not know this rule existed. she stays being humble i like it. just one question: why was “crazy in love” for example nominated for grammys? it samples an old song too…honest question, i’m not hating cause im a Bey fan too

  6. RICHIE_RICH December 7, 2013

    Girl, is it really the beginning or is it the END?

    Ms. Ciara why you giving us excuess about you’re Grammy snub, you should be giving us info on why you….nevermind. Oh the irony of it all.

  7. body ache (Britney stan) December 7, 2013

    @tallb Mathew pulled some strings.

  8. RICHIE_RICH December 7, 2013

    What song was crazy in love a sample of?

  9. Motivation December 7, 2013

    Lol.

  10. Tisha December 7, 2013

    So she found time to explain why she didn’t get a Grammy nom but actually putting music out…communicating with fans…dead quiet, smh.

    I really hope her relationship with Future works out for her because she’s sacrificing a lot for it.

  11. MISHKA December 7, 2013

    Well, she should have left her fans know about that and kill the high anticipation right away.

    I don’t get the excuse by the way, Kanye has 21 Grammys and he is like the King of sampling.

  12. Yaz December 7, 2013

    Number 1 on what chart?

  13. Tallb December 7, 2013

    exactly! this is what i am saying too. it’s not like it’s the same songs – it’s being mixed and changed

  14. Speak Truth December 7, 2013

    Girl that note does not explain why her album wasn’t nom for
    Best Urban Contemporary album, or why I’m Out wasn’t for best
    Rap/R&B sung, girl bye!!! And she keep actin like Body Party
    went number one on Hot 100, lol she wish. Yes keep bragging bout
    That 1 Grammy she got lol. Best Short Film Music video for being
    featured on Loose Control. Girl BYE Lmaaao

  15. Molly December 7, 2013

    Uhm. i guess… im not here for the grammys anymore to me thats b******* regardless you deserve a Grammy nom babe.

  16. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    I love me some ci.. 🙂

  17. Arie December 7, 2013

    Sam can you please post the Grammy rules. Kanye samples all the time so why is this a factor for Cici.

  18. Molly December 7, 2013

    Not watching this years grammys.

  19. HOTSTUFF December 7, 2013

    Oh, and what’s the excuse for your album not being nominated ?

  20. stop December 7, 2013

    lmao

  21. FAF December 7, 2013

    Lana won’t win let’s see what her excuse will be @rosie Ci has one 😆

  22. HOTSTUFF December 7, 2013

    Anyway she’s just a LYING FLOP ASS H** cause Roar has a sample and is nominated. The Z-SQUAD will have to deal with that tea.

  23. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    YASSSSS @FAF 😀 😀

  24. NT December 7, 2013

    at least she can be proud that it went no.1

  25. Lexy December 7, 2013

    Excuse? What Excuse she clearly states a RULE dumbasses. Always gotta discredit and she is explaining why BODY PARTY didnt get a nod not her ALBUM which she states. Learn to read . Stay in school . Body Party still went Number 1 on R&B/Hip Hop Airply on BB. Debutes at #35 and peakes at #22 on the Hot 100 , #22 on Rolling stones Top 100 songs of 2013 list , the 4th most played song of 2013 on Urban Radio AND was certified gold. Gorl BYE.

  26. Antonio December 7, 2013

    I hate uneducated, close minded f***. Obviously her album wasn’t nominated because didn’t feel it was strong enough contender, that’s out of her control, but most ppl felt Body Party was a strong contender for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance. I do feel if she already knew this, she should’ve been said something. Epic could’ve pushed the album harder and that would’ve made it’s chances of being nominated increase. But a lot of artists sample all the time and get nominated and win, so why is this a big deal for Ciara.

  27. Haha December 7, 2013

    Thats b******* because many sampled songs have at least been NOMINATED let alone won

  28. unnami December 7, 2013

    I think she is misunderstooding some thing. She coundn’t be nominated for Best R&B Song but she could be nominated for Best R&B Performance.

    Only categories with “Song” in title have this thing that sampling isn’t allowed (RnB Song, Rap Song, Pop Song) but in categories with duos/colabboration or solo performance you can be nominated.

    See: Holy Grail is nominated for Best Rap Collaboration and it has sample of Nirvana song.

  29. Truth December 7, 2013

    Lies

    So why was Monica nominated for Everythibg to Me which heavily samples “Silly” by Denese Williams or Fantasia for Bitterweet

  30. unnami December 7, 2013

    it’s rule in one category, she cound be nominated in the others, but there was better songs

  31. Cass December 7, 2013

    That song was a piece of crap anyway. Since when do artists have to explain why they’re not nominated for awards?

  32. knowitall December 7, 2013

    Realistically the only thing “Body Party” would have been nominated for is Best R&B Song, which is awarded to the songwriters. Any Best Song nominee has to be lyrically original (i.e. no lyrical samples), hence why it was ineligible. Kanye typically samples beats/sounds/productions, not lyrics.

  33. Rosie December 7, 2013

    Not a S****** stan coming for album sales when it stans for a talentless brain dead had been casino act who will sell less than Vampire Weekend first week.
    By the way, Femme FATale still isn’t platinum after nearly three years.

  34. Rosie December 7, 2013

    And countless other songs have been nominated for Best R&B even while using more samples than Local Party.
    It was totally eligible.

  35. HOTSTUFF December 7, 2013

    Did Beyonce won a Grammy for ‘ Crazy in Love ‘ ? cause it has a sample…

  36. Know Ya Facts December 7, 2013

    Listen here there are different rules for different categories dumbasses. She was explaining the rule for Her categories. And why yall asking for an excuse about her album? No excuse it just wasnt chosen to be picked but believe me it should have been nominated over Unapologetic. And if you all really want to know the rules GO TO THE GRAMMYS SITE YOUR OWN DAMN SELF! Ciara has no reason to lie about this especially since she knows it could backfire if she was lying. The R&B song category isnt aloud to have samples and the r&b performance she just wasnt chosen. AND for the comment about her putting out new music, she just put out a album 5 months ago, where is the logic in putting out more music if her albums keep underperoforming? She’s going to keep releasing singles from this album until it at least hits gold trust. AND she’s shooting the ]OD video in the next 1 or two weeks it was announced yesterday so quit worrying about CiCi and worry about your own faves PLEASE!!!!!!!

  37. parkerjonesj December 7, 2013

    Rap and R&B albums have different rules.

  38. Leinard04 December 7, 2013

    Are You My Woman by Chi-Lites

  39. parkerjonesj December 7, 2013

    Bittersweet didn’t sample. Everything to me was excluded from best song because of the rule. She could have still gotten a best performance nom.

  40. Yolanda December 7, 2013

    What’s the excuse for the Nicki Minaj collab? Why didn’t it get nominated?

  41. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

    It just isn’t a grammy worthy song! Cierror will NEVER win LOOOOOL

  42. Cheese December 7, 2013

    Why was Mo Money Mo Problems (Diana Ross sample) grammy nominated then?

  43. Cheese December 7, 2013

    And Big Poppa? (Isley Brothers sample)

  44. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    And TROLLyonce will NEVER win fair & square, that’s why she buys awards!! We already know the b**** will win that Part 2 grammy because she and camel have already paid the people at the grammys

    _/ _/

  45. Mjay December 7, 2013

    This rule is only applied to the Best RNB song category…You can check that out on Grammy site

  46. molly December 7, 2013

    Crazy and love can get a nom but not Body party b*******

    seriously pissed yall

  47. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    @FlatCakesLikeManCaCa

    What does Beyonce have to do with anything? obsessed much?

    Where are your receipts of Beyonce buying a grammy? Where is the proof to back that ridicuolous claim? I’ve been waiting YEARS for those receipts, still haven’t seen one.

    Don’t ever try and shade Beyonce on a grammy post. worry about your declining fave and her flop endeavors 😉

  48. Marcel December 7, 2013

    oh ok I guess that makes sense… Body Party was a phenomenal record for CC…

    Check out “Dare” by new artist Marcel
    http://youtu.be/UjNYIt2znVo

  49. …that was supposed to be funny? December 7, 2013

    She might be on to something. Dont know how long that rule existed but Im hearing thats why Fantasia’s Lose to Win wasnt submitted…because it contained a sample. Sucks tbh…guess artist are going to have to think twice now before accepting songs unless they either dont care or dont plan on submitting those songs to the Grammy committee

  50. molly December 7, 2013

    @slayhive shut your dark skinned ass up sick of your ghetto asss. we all know beyonce buy nominations.

  51. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    I’m not shading, I’m stating what everyone knows!!! Ofcos FRAUDyonce buys her grammys, and she will do so again next year.

    Funny you saying she is declining, but the last hit FRAUDyonce had was with the help of GaGa. Maybe she needs to give GaGa a call on her video phone to help here again get another hit 😉

  52. molly December 7, 2013

    I hate everyone right now… Ciara got cheated thats seriously some b******* if beyonce would have sung body party it would’ve been nominated fuc the grammys keep kissing beyonce whored out ass

  53. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    @MOLE

    Sweety im lightskin, get it correct you albino rat!
    Secondy you dont know anything!! If it’s so easy to buy nominations why couldn’t Cierror just buy one??? Is she just that broke or is her money not good enough? kiiii

  54. idgi December 7, 2013

    Uh oh South Korea is going to be pissed, better give her that damn Grammy. Tbh that really isn’t a letter, unless there’s more..? Anyway she replied quite gracefully considering her letter from fan(s) was just darn right rude. I would never write anything like that to my fave.

  55. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    If “Everybody” knows that Beyonce buys her albums, then it should be no issue with you providing a receipt. where are they………………….. kiii

    secondly Beyonce has only released TWO albums in the past year compared to your faves FOUR. she had two top tens the year before telephone(2009). Gags can’t even get a hit herself and only been around five little years. Four albums and only two #1 singles. She is the fastest delining superstar in history 🙁 poor ZAT

  56. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    I agree with @TROLLy, if T********* or Taylor Swift had sung Body Party it would’ve been nominated in all the categories.

    The grammys need to change their name to either T********* Awards or Taylor Swift Awards, they are forever kissing these two asses.

  57. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    Gay Hive stfu u stay pressed over queen ci you are a undercover squad member just like your d*** ass friend Rosie. CICI RUNS THIS S*** AND U KNOW IT A*** BUM

I just don’t like her fans that comes after other artists so negatively…. keep on pushing Ciara n this is coming from a Rowlandstone. At the end of the day these award shows are all politics and popularity contests…

  76. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    @slay_HIV+ Applause is still in the BB100, where t*********’s single at???

    I think we should start a search party to find the trannys missing single 😉

  77. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    @SUPERFLOPSUS

    KIIIIIIII SEETHE BXTCH SEETHE!!! I know Beyonce getting a grammy nom without an album is really bothering the struggle-squad!! kiiiii

  79. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    Rosie Botoxana aint winning s*** so you are dismissed from this conversation you dry c****** d***

  80. Lolz December 7, 2013

    @Fake Like Flopga I wanted to do a search party for you on the Black Friday post you begged for, only for TGJ to throw epic shade with Katy Perry beating her.

  81. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

  83. Rosie December 7, 2013

    @SuperCisus At least I have one unlike you, f**.
    Still doesn’t change the fact that y’all SWORE Ciara was getting at least two nominations yet was completely snubbed, yet my fave has three. Not even Team Lana was expecting Paradise to be nominated in a general field category.

  84. molly December 7, 2013

    Yaaaaaas @SuperCisus read these stupid ass h**. tired of their s***.

  85. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    @DIKESIE
    Ci is unbothered with her Grammy, platinum plaques and women of the year award. You mad because Lame-a’s sales are more inflated than her moon bounce lips b****

  86. molly December 7, 2013

    Ciara can get snubbed that’s fine she owns a Grammy tho @Rosie lana will never she aint winning them awards sis. next

  90. molly December 7, 2013

    @Rach what’s your excuse for beyonce being an unoriginal piece of s***?

    @Supercicus exactly no one cares for Lana like that.

  91. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    Has the canadian transgender found Lana’s missing #1 singles?? No?????? Trying looking under your bed, they might be there

  92. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    Kiii yesssssss Molly read that drunk ass w****

  93. Rosie December 7, 2013

    Dead at Cierror winning woman of the year. F** where? Lana won last year for GQ, I don’t see Cierror’s. Maybe you meant Tranvestite of the Year. Oh, and he’s never getting a platinum plaque outside of the US. Local t*****.
    See you on March 2 when Lana wins Best Original Song at the Oscars

  94. Rosie December 7, 2013

    @Molly Lana is currently engaged. Not to mention she has everything Ciara has tried to get in almost a decade in less than two years: globalness, relevance, sales, and impact. Try again.

  95. molly December 7, 2013

    Ultra violence will be a massive flop can’t wait to see hoesie meltdown.

  96. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    No d*** Ciara won billboard woman of the year b**** do u need receipts? I need receipts for Lana selling 5 million. The inflation…..

  97. Rach December 7, 2013

    @Molly the same Beyonce whos still more successful than your fav in category?

  98. cake like lady gaga December 7, 2013

    LOL at the shady people at the grammys pitting Lana against Adele…

    I CANNOT!!!!

  99. molly December 7, 2013

    Lana must be engaged to someone more of a non factor then her cause the media doesn’t talk about her engagement hell no one talks about lana weird ass period Lmao

  100. Why So Jelly? December 7, 2013

    The Ciara fans are pissed today lol. They’re taking it out on everybody else.

  101. Rosie December 7, 2013

    The Z Squad coming for inflation when they constantly try to say that Goodies sold 6 million.
    I’d rather trust Interscope and the other credible sources saying BTD sold 5 million that a bunch of lonely stans with no lives who spend their time trolling a poorly-moderated blog.

  102. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    Adele slays Lana I can’t wait for her new album Lame-a will be completely irrelevant then Kiii

  103. Rosie December 7, 2013

    Every major website posted about Tropico, Molly. It was even trending worldwide on Twitter the day it was released. Try again.

  104. Rosie December 7, 2013

    Dead at the Z Squad bandwagoning for every other artist because they know ¢iara will never match Lana’s global success.

  105. Super Cisus December 7, 2013

    Hosie your such a liar you prolly steal from the dollar tree too you dumb depressed Canadian d***

  106. molly December 7, 2013

  109. Kyle December 7, 2013

    I actually don’t dislike Ciara but I shade her because her annoying fans on here. This is the real kii. She even took her struggle vocals here and they still couldn’t nominate her. The execs probably watched this and said hell nawwww! It must suck to be Z Squad she’s such a dab hand at flopping on all fronts.

  110. molly December 7, 2013

    Mediatraffic:

    Born To Die (2012) – 2.9 million
    2013 – 26. “Born To Die” Lana Del Rey* – 912,000 (this excludes weeks it spent out of top 40)

    She is at 4-4.5 million at best. 5 million is for shipments.

  112. Rosie December 7, 2013

    The Z Squad can’t even afford to pay $9.99 for their fave’s album on iTunes, or just a simple $1.29 for their fave’s singles.
    iTunes USA:
    70. Lana Del Rey – Body Electric (album track from 1 year old EP with no promo, just a 27 minute shirt film on VEVO)
    605. Ciara – Body Party
    N/A. Ciara – I’m Out (of Sales)
    N/A. Ciara – Overdose

  113. Sihram V. December 7, 2013

    The rule was implemented 5 years ago, CIL was released in 2003 thats why.

  114. Rosie December 7, 2013

    Dead at y’all using Mediatraffic (aka two Germans and a dog) for receipts. In that case Goodies sold less than 4 million.

    @Kyle Drink bleach.

  116. Kyle December 7, 2013

    I would if I was a Ciara stan. You must be depressed right now.

  117. Kyle December 7, 2013

    that was molly^

  118. Kyle December 7, 2013

    for molly*

  119. Rosie December 7, 2013

    @Kyle They’re mad because he was snubbed at the Grammys, like Gaga was.

  120. molly December 7, 2013

    And you Lana f** fans have been struggling to get your fav a platinum album for almost 2 years now, Queenara has 2 platinum plaques until Lana gets one then maybe she can be of Ciara level.

  121. molly December 7, 2013

    @Kyle n**** im fine never stressed or depressed.

  122. molly December 7, 2013

    Cici keep your head up don’t thesw haters get to you theres always next year and atleast you have a Grammy unlike others, C squad aint stressing over here cuh we good . LOVE YOU CI!!!

  123. Taylor Payne December 7, 2013

    Aw! This Is Why I’m A Happy Ciara Fan.
    Through Everything Ciara Has Been Through,
    She Stays Humble. So Many People Counted Her Out After The Commercial Failure Of “Basic Instinct”, But Ciara Kept Striving For Greatness. The Fact That Ciara Came Out In 2003 & Is Still Making Headlines On The Charts, Music Awards, Red Carpets, Magazines, Videos, & More Is AMAZING! Not A Lot Of People From 2003 Are Still Rocking & Ciara Is Doing The Damn Thing. Although, The Grammy Rule Did Not Allow “Body Party” To Be Nominated, It Doesn’t Take Away From The Fact That It Was One Of, If Not, The BIGGEST FEMALE R&B RECORD OF 2013. I Mean, HELLO, Top 25 Billboard Hot 100, #1 Urban Radio (#5 Of The Year), Gold Certification, AMA, VMA, & Peoples Choice Nomination, & It Was Just Announced #22 On Rolling Stone 100 Best Songs Of 2013 (The Highest Charting Black Female). I Mean, C’mon!!! Hater Or Not, This Success Is PHENOMENAL By Anyone’s Standards. I AM SO HAPPY FOR CIARA! I NEVER Thought I Would Be Able To Type What I Am Typing After The Past Few Years. WOOO HOO!!!! Go Ciara! Ok I’m Done! But Really Ciara Is KILLING EM!

  124. Taylor Payne December 7, 2013

    Why Are Lana & Ciara Fans Fighting?
    Ciara Has Said In Multiple interviews That She Loves
    Lana’s Music. I’m A HUGE Ciara Fan & I Also Love Lana (My Friend From High School Knows Her Personally & Says She Is A Sweet Girl Behind The Camera). Why Can’t We Like Both Artists? They Both Are Great & Successful In Their Area Of Music & Both Have Adoring Fans. Stop the Drama.

  125. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    @FakelikeCaCa

    Did Applause ever make it to #1 yet? Even with the . 25 million promo backing her? She was slayed by Miley. The muppet show and everything else she’s done has been a FAILURE! kiiii

    1.1 millions albums to barely 275k debut?? What kind of decline. 🙂 🙂

    Don’t worry about Beyoncé and her single, She’s actually taking her time with her music.(15+years) 😉 Gags should have done the same. Her album is trash.. 5 years< 😉

  126. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Leave it to the trolls on TGJ to turn a RULE into an EXCUSE…..

  127. kkkkkkkk December 7, 2013

    If Lana’s label says that she sold 5 million it’s true, but if Ciara’s said that she is at 4-5 million it’s not?
    What kind of fail?

    Goodies sales
    2.7 million USA
    150 000+ UK
    100 000+ Canada
    100 000+ Japan
    48 500+ France
    7 500+ Ireland
    7 500+ New Zealand

    Goodies has sold over 3 million, probably 4 million as much as Lana so stop it.

  128. Applause December 7, 2013

    You Beyonce so fake last year yall was team gaga now yall hate her smh @Slay_Hive i hope GaGa doesn’t work with Beyonce again.

  129. Kyle December 7, 2013

    @Rosie I know. They are seething. Its funny to watch them take their frustrastions out on Lana and Beyonce. The kiis write themselves.

  130. Applause December 7, 2013

    Wtf this lana stan is really bold, i never seen someone talk so much s*** yet their fav has made zero type of impact tf sit down @Rosie

  131. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    DEATH@ The two ONLY members of struggle-squad ACTUALLY believing they dragged someone. How cute! kiiiii

    I stay dragging you irrelevant bum, useless b******, by the strands of your receding wigs! You stan for a flop. You can’t even drag Ashanti fans, if there were any! You are the real ghetto “h***”, Can’t even afford ten dollars to support your declining fave! #STRUGGLE. The epitome of it! kiii BYE

  132. SLAY_HIVE December 7, 2013

    @Applause

    I can care less if Beyoncé chooses to work with her again. At this rate, Gags would need Beyoncé.. GoodBYE

  133. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Kii @Rosie trying it,

    She should be asking Lana whats her excuses for letting Lorde get nominated in 4 categories and Lana only in 2………

    I cant wait to see the expression on Lanas face and the comments that follow after Lorde snatches Lana’s scalp and collects all her Grammy’s.

  134. Applause December 7, 2013

    Last i check GaGa getting them hits while bey struggling lets not forget beys last hit was telephone thanks to gaga! so humble yourself w****

  135. Rosie December 7, 2013

    The Z Squad really think they’re dragging, LOL. Lana has basically started the the current the current indie/alternative trend in music and fashion, has critical acclaim, and has outsold Cedric’s discography in the process with one album + an EP. Meanwhile the only impact Cierror has is running with the early 2000’s crunk trend and when it died in like 2006 her career went with it. Maybe they can explain why his last three albums still haven’t sold 1 million worldwide combined.

  136. Rosie December 7, 2013

    And FutureCedric posts more about me and Lana than his own fave. Probably my #1 fan along with the South African A**.

  137. iconic cici December 7, 2013

    Ciara>Gaga>Beyonce>horse s*** > Lana

  138. Mark111 December 7, 2013

    Ok so she didn’t get nominated, are you stans gonna die? I guess so since y’all live through these artists. Body Party may had been the most popular R&B song this year, but that doesn’t make it the best. Face it, Ciara isn’t a vocalist at anyddegree, so other singers, rather you heard their songs or not, were nominated.

    Don’t forget, thos is the Grammys. Jay Z, JT and Robin Thicke may walk out with two or no grammys next year, recall Justin Bieber? A bunch of unknown artist will win, cause this isn’t the AMAs or VMAs, it’s not a popularity contest.

  139. iconic cici December 7, 2013

    Im glad my fav doesnt have to lie cheat steal and sleep her way to the top like beyonce and rihanna..

  140. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. December 7, 2013

    On what chart was Body FLOP #1?

  141. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Girl please!!!

    I pay you dust in these comments and have actually been quite nice to you here lately.

    Ive rested from reading you so fiercely like I used to a few months back…. But I will never let up, and you can never get me Ms.Thing

    Just remember, Im the only b**** on here that gives ou a run for your money, So lets not forget Ms.Rosie Mmkay sugar pie.

    And as far as Lana starting the Indie/Alternative trend, LIES YOU TELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That b**** originally called her sound “TRIP-HOP” Lets not forget, She saw that it was a flop due to her earlier failures and then decided to jump on the Indie/Alternative bandwagon.. Your fav looks p to pioneers in that genre….

    Honey even Solange Knowles SHITS on Lana in that category. So please dont bring her that type of competition by saying she started that shiit… She wont even be able to snatch a Grammy with the competition she’s up against……
    ADELE??? seriously lil girl?

    And BITTCH how do I post more about you than my fave?????
    The true T is that you post more about my fav than you do your own…. Now thats TRUE T….
    And don’t make me ask TGJ for receipts doll face!!!!

  142. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Body Party DID Peak @ #1 on an R&B chart……. Why would she make that s*** up???? Billboard.com has receipts Gwarl!

  143. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    And Dont start with me on Lana’s Fashion choices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Indie/Alternative NEVER influenced her appearance, But garbage did.

    Your fav always looks HIT when she steps out, and she cant make it to anybodies Best Dressed List…

    Those were stylists that styled her for Vogue magazine, and GQ the b**** didnt have anything on at all….So please dont come in here bragging about this fashion sense that she completely LACKS!!!!!

    They dont even talk about her ass in tabloids, Magazines, Fashion Police, E! News, Entertainment hollywood or any of them….

    YOUR FAV IS A NON FACTOR HERE IN THE US!!!!!
    MUST I REPEAT?
    IRRELEVANT ARTIST GET NOMINATED FOR GRAMMY’s ALL THE TIME.
    DOESNT MEAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO THERE ASSES!!!!!

    HAVE A SEAT ROSIE!!!
    YOU DO NOT WANT A DAY, OKAY!

  144. An0thrDream December 7, 2013

    C-Squad all day!

    Lets keep it going ciara!

  145. I Will Adorn You December 7, 2013

    You know times are hard when you have to release statements to explain why were not nominated

  146. cocobutta December 7, 2013

    It must be the lyrical sample she talking about instead of the beat as this is news to me.

    “boy you should know that”

  147. bash December 7, 2013
  148. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Not a m=Miguel fan throwing ANY type of shade………..

    Girl have several seats, Like Miguel did on top of that fans face at that Award Show.

    Has that queen even been mentioned this awards season???????????

    Or is she still being SLAYYED by Bruno Mars and Robin Thicke!

  149. Common Sense December 7, 2013

    Can someone explain to me why Cedric stans keep comparing Lana to everyone BUT Ciara? They gloat about other artists except their fave. You can say what you want about Lana, but at least she’s relevant and has a career unlike Ciara lol.

    I don’t like the way Rosie talks about Mimi most of the time, but I honestly don’t know why she bothers with the C-Error stans. They’re intellectually deficient.

  150. Rosie December 7, 2013

    Screaming at FutureCedric writing not only one, but TWO essays full of lies, innacuracies, and fairytale.
    Anyone who has listened to her first (indie) record knows that s*** is NOT trip-hop. And I didn’t say she invented it, I said she bought it mainstream.
    And DEATH at Solange being more relevant than Lana. B**** where? No one cares about that b**** outside of a few blogs. Call me when Solange gets a charting single or a cardboard certified album, please.
    Sis the kii is that you reply every time when I post about your flop fave but when everyone on TGJ is dragging them you have nothing to say.
    No one cares about Cierror. But prestigious high fashion magazines Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, W, and Vanity Fair all put Lana on their best dressed/most influential list in the last two years. And Nylon Magazine called her a fashion icon. When Cierror shows off her manly body at the VMAs or what not in her Beyoncé reject gowns no one cares.
    Lana is irrelevant in the US yet is the second most listened to artist on their Spotify and the most Googled women in the US, Cierror is nowhere to be found on either list.

    This is funnier than you trying to say she copied that forgotten, critically-panned, no impact having Ultraviolet movie with her album title. EVERYONE knows Ultraviolence is a reference to the classic film A Clockwork Orange. You, sir, obviously know knotting about art or music, but you stan Ciara, who’s latest album had yet to sell 150K worldwide after nearly 5 months, so I don’t expect you to know much about impact or relevancy anyways.

  151. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Girl but you steady writing me love letters…..

    I love you too @Rosie and really wish you come up with the funds to complete your procedure…. Those hormones have gotten you delusional and psycho…..

    B**** stop reading those Canadian versions of all the High fashion magazines. They are feeding you lies…. The day I take any fashion opinions from a Canadian will be the day Hell has a below temperature.

    Kiiiiii at that long ass rough draft essay!!!!!!!

  152. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    Receipts Dahwling??????????

    Stop popping off at the mouth about non-sense.

    And stop thinking your the s*** and some big art spoof all of a sudden because you referenced ONE got damn movie.

    Something you read from some low budget Lana fan website. That your probably the moderator of…..

    Kill yourself T*****, And keep your bull s*** over there in Canada where there are no celebrities! And the ones that HAVE made it are ALL Americans now….. Kiiiiiiiiii

  153. Nicki Minaj the queen December 7, 2013

    though Gagas Artpop was out sold by Katy Miley One direction and Eminem lol. You Gaga fans are stupid. Artpop did not even go gold yet lol. I cant.

  154. abc December 7, 2013

    wtf. grammies? who still watches that show?

    she good where she is. no fault.

  155. sisqo is a legend December 7, 2013

    CI-ERROR WHY DONT YOU GO ON AND TELL THEM YOURE A FLOP AND END IT LIKE THAT…EVEN 4 PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT WITH WACK R&B

  156. JER December 7, 2013

    I am SCREAMINGGG at the excuses!!!

  157. bash December 7, 2013

    beyonce

  158. Rihboy December 7, 2013

    I am in tears!! she tried that! Its years since the first and only grammy….there is no excuse. With as much talent as her fans claim her to have she can’t even secure a nomination. Bye felicia

  159. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    TGJ needs to post about Beyonce new video teaser for #GrownWoman….. And how it looks very similar to Rihanna’s Rude Boy

  160. Ha December 7, 2013

    It still could have been nominated for best R&B performance and other awards in which thar rule does not apply to Ciara stop it. Some things are better left unsaid.

  161. T December 7, 2013

    I might be wrong, but on Body party she actually sampled lyrics and vocal melody from my Boo VS Beyonce Crazy in love which was a instrumental sample but the lyrics and vocal melody were totally different from the original.

  162. Diamond December 8, 2013

    Ci-loser <—- will never win on her own. The only reason she has one, is becuz of Missy Elliot. She can sit at home next to predator (future) and watch Rihanna take home Grammys

  163. hhhhhhhh December 8, 2013

    cuz bey’s a GROWN WOMAN.. SHE CAN DO WHAT EVER SHE WANTS!

  164. MC!!! December 8, 2013

    aint beyonce’s last REAL hit is with gaga 4 years ago?! I dont understand the gaga drag on a ciara post #shrugs

  165. Grown WOMAN video December 8, 2013
  166. Rosie December 8, 2013

    Dead at the f** thinking Vogue/Elle/Vanity Fair, etc. is Canadian. The f** obviously knows nothing about high fashion. It probably thinks Forever 21 is epitome of fashion.
    Mad at me for replying to your two, incorrect essays by proving each point you made wrong, then staying pressed because I clocked you.
    And A Clockwork Orange is considered one of the greatest films of all time. You can stick to your Tyler Perry minstrel shows and low budget black Netflix movies.
    Sweetie, unless you can show me receipts of Citranny having any impact whatsoever, you’re dismissed.

  167. Jcrew December 9, 2013

    I hate childish grown ups like really ? Clearly she’s letting all HER fans know why which most artist don’t even care to share like I don’t understand how people could say such harsh things about a woman who is so humble and clearly talented I don’t understand

  168. Brazil December 11, 2013

    Just sad … I hope it happens a live performance of overdose!

  169. BepCi December 11, 2013

    Unbelievable fact. Very sad, I hope to see Body Pary in performance!

  170. GoCici December 11, 2013

    Let’s tell the truth it was more than deserved for Ciara, this was the best year of her.

  171. Go December 11, 2013

    Surely she deserved this event.

  172. Ciara Team December 11, 2013

    This music industry is totally false!

  173. Team December 11, 2013

    Fake? This all bought. Just ridiculous people competing. Hated It.
