I'm trying so hard with Ciara. I love love LOVE her, and I'm really trying so hard not to give up on her but lately, she's making it so easy. I still choose her over Rianna and Beyonc but at this point, I'm so close to washing my hands with all 3... I've been riding with Ci HARD since "Goodies" the single first premiered. I buy all albums and singles, but I really haven't felt her or taken her seriously since "Ride" and before then, since "Promise".. It's like she has so many opportunities yet, settles for 2nd and 3rd best, and seems ok with mediocrity, she likes being the butt of jokes and being laughed at. She can block and tune it out, but that's not stopping it from happening. She STILL has to prove herself. In my opinion, she only gives 100% to her dancing and vocals, her songs, including "I Bet" seems to only get more basic and it's confusing. I want her to dominate. I want her to silence all haters, but ......She just won't for some reason lol
