@Mark11: I may not be crazy about them but Tamar and KMichelle can sing. When you have a voice, you can always play live. When all else fails, you can stand there and sing, which Ciara cannot do well enough to compel people to see a "singing" concert. I agree that Ciara gives mediocre visual (Dawn Richard is more inspiring on a smaller budget) but she does not have the material or the fan base that she should have this many years in the game. Unlike others, I won't speculate on why but I'm glad she's still trying and perhaps this time she will win. But, NO ONE will be there for her acoustic versions of Goodies, 1 2 Step, Ride, Work, Love Sex Magic, or I Bet.
