R&B star Ciara took front-stage center at BET’s Black Girls Rock tonight to perform ‘I Bet’ – the lead single from new album ‘Jackie’ (due May 4th).
A departure of sorts from the singer’s trademark choreographed offerings, this live showcase instead placed the spotlight on her voice. And oh did she soar.
Check out the performance below…
She came, she slayed, she conquered.
Ciara performed the song like a true tactician, demonstrating awesome vocal control, while still being emotive and serving on the performance front.
At this point, it’s clear that whether busting a move or belting a ballad, CiCi is ready and able to deliver.
Look out for her when her ‘Jackie Tour’ hits US cities from next month.

I can’t believe yall write good things about Ciara’s voice while homegirl sounds way better.
Michelle Obama aint EVER clapped for Goat-ranna.
Michelle knows talent, hence why she put her hands in the air and clapped!!
Was that pity clap all you needed? Was Michelle just supposed to sit there? Girl, bye…..
Kiii and who is homegirl? That b**** that strained last night in Indiana on that basic song?
Honestly Ciara Actually did good for her standard ,however I’d say this Again it’s kinda too late to promote this particular song now, u waited too long to come out with the music video and to actually promote it at talk shows and award shows…
I hope you succeed. You deserve it girl!
Wow that was pretty good! I’m low key proud
Can we see the other performances i.e. Fantasias? She SLAYED!
Fantasia’s vocal abilities>>>
Honey she is a beast!!!
I was disappointed that they didn’t post Fantasia’s performance. They could have gave Ciara the headline to this article and posted the performances of Faith, Fantasia, Erykah, Jill, and etc. right under hers.
I’m sure the’ll do another post
Like the direction Ciara is going in this era. Real talk!
Ciara looked stunning and sounded really nice. I don’t really look to her for a nasty vocal performance, but this was really decent! Go gurl!
That pic was all over my timeline….. and i haven’t even watched the video yet but I just knew she “killed another harmless bird” with that “AWAYYY….AWAAAYYYYYYEH” part.
Get em boo boo;)
Loooooool stoooop it!
LMFAOOO! You crack me up!!
Who are you talking about?
Cici
Love her
CiCi is back!!! Now that’s a performance, she looks and sounds amazing!!!
Get it, Ciara!!!! Book some arenas for your new tour and get that promo train going! The charts misses you and Rih misses your competition. She’s tired of beating the same h*** over and over again. Give her something to work for, a challenge.
Like who ? lol
I know it may be funny, but what’s funnier is how pressed you are and quick to reply to my comment. I at least thought that a fellow Rih stan would give me a break since we STAN FOR THE SAME QUEEN, but I guess every h** has their limit of pretending to be real for the day. You’re dismissed. Oh, and your insecurities are showing, sweetie. Take care of it quickly before I do.
Wait! Disregard my previous comment. I misread your reply and I thought you were shading me. Sorry, boo! I’ll comprehend better next time. I promise.
yeah, yeah (Oooo)
Uh, hey hey
All right, yeah
Oooo
[CHORUS]
What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man [x4]
😆
yaaas ciara. You better show STRUGGLEanna how it’s done!!!
Still got the Queens name on the tip of your tongue. Chile I’m surprised your local library is still open at this time of night
b**** f*** your peasant queen. Is there even a library in your crackhead infested neighborhood?
that was a dumb “read” its sunday the library are closed on the weekend i guess you tried
@rihyeezy that library “read” is overused (especially on this site) and dumb considering it’s sunday I guess you tried
Yes a forehead fan talking about finding keys. Because this performance was so weak. Yet you guys in here like she gave atleast a Jessie j or Nichole sch level performance. She was definitely beat for the heavens tho!!! Lastly I keep telling you idk what’s crawling your blood. Definitely won’t be riding your d***. Just trying to understand why a bum broke b**** got so much mouth.
Honey I got so much mouth cuz I can do that!!! Who tf gone check me?!!! Ain’t no broke bum b****** over this way but it’s a broke bum pressed b**** bothered tho!! Tell em why you mad girl!! Something must be crawling in your s***! Not my fault you walking around looking like a broke sissy skeleton seconds away from it’s last breath. Take your meds, groom that ugly mug, wrap it up and then you wouldn’t have to pay to play! Don’t take your insecurities out on me. I’m not here for it b****!!
*sips wine and lays back with not a mf worry in the world*
.
Get on my level b**** and then step back to me 😉
At least she’s singing live I give credit there
at least she can book a stage. when will skeri IRRELEVANTson?
Girl the only thing that’s a struggle is ciara finding a key to stay on and you finding a hobby. Because obviously you phuckin Sam or somebody!! always on here yappin like you run something. Go kill yourself.
Not a forehead fan talking about someone struggling to find a key!!!! bwahahaha your fave is no vocalist b****!! TGJ is one of my many hobbies b**** and I will continue to run my mf mouth with not a f*** to give and you will continue being a pressed bothered nothing ass b**** following behind my every comment! Find you a hobby besides riding my d*** and go hang yourself in the closet. You won’t be missed!! BYE
She looks amazing. Her voice is so weak though; Tinashe would sing her under a rug.
Can we not….
Lol I wasn’t shading Tinashe. I saw a few of her performances (including National anthem) recently and her voice is actually really good.
Sam there’s a d*** pick on your ratchet a$$ site, and it doesn’t belong to Ciara. I thought this was a family friendly site!
Cute performance by Ciara btw, limited, but cute nevertheless.
I wholeheartedly agree. I know he sees it, but he wont take it down because he probably likes it. I’m completely done with him.
Good performance
She is gorgeous in that performance!
she looks stunning but this flop song is played out
I knew Sam’s delusional self was behind this write up when I read how exaggerated it was ; death @slayed , it was basic and she struggled hitting some notes slayed is an exaggeration
but what stages is keri the giraffe booking? keri’s irrelevant ass better continue sucking on the rolls in the back of timbalands neck because she doesn’t have anything else better to do
stay pressed f**, Keri and Timbaland make great music together, she’s sure to have a HIT he next era working with him
lmaoooo they make hits together? since when? is that why no flops allowed sill haven’t scanned 9k ?
LMAOOOOO! @BeyRihLiyah I’m logging right back out after reading this.
keri co-wrote one of Timbalands biggest hits the way I are which is 3x platinum UGLY, shes been getting paid
Oh look, the lessor Lamb; slayriahs lessor
This was cute. She looks beautiful.
I miss you sis how have you been 🙂
I’ve been great actually. How have you been sis??
ive been good just enjoying my easter how has your easter been?
It’s been great actually. While I wish I went to church, I’m on a little vacation until Wednesday, so Easter is perfection.
for this keri stan

Screams!!!
LMAOOOOO! I can’t hate though. Its cute to see her hustle. Those Sesame Street checks just don’t pay the bills for Big Bird like they used to.
Ooop yall better clock bird beak.
Lol I’m just confused though Molly. Like shouldn’t this f** be trying find ppl to fill those empty cafeterias and more twigs for Big Bird’s nest instead of worrying about the relevant?
Nooooo
Who’s this ? Lol
Quit pretending you don’t know who this is. Everyone grew up watching Big Bird.
hahah
Great Job Queen.
That was really nice. Mars Attack Fenty could never!!!
Not Keri Queen coming for me… how can you talk about lessors when you can’t keep your mouth off Mark’s & LB’S d****? Slayriah and you need to f*** each other until you bleed.
Lmfao drag it babe
Kii thought you logged off still here being the pressed faaag that you are
I see that bc you tucked your infected d*** inside of your pus gushing asshole, you now believe that you’re a woman…
Ok Qween.
Still here seeking my attention Lessor Lamb?
And yall were shading Rih!!! Lls this is terrible. I mean is this what her fans are to expect on tour. She was standing completely still and still sounded a shaky mess. Talk singing a$$. Lol I bet she start lipping by the beginning of tour.
Kii exactly, Caesar struggled With those thin vocals; Sam is delusional
She did that. But my girl Fantasia (as usual) slated my existence on this Resurrection sunday.
She did great & she looked beautiful , probably one of her best vocal performances , I’m hoping she makes it big with this album and keep it up and perform at awards other than her same old black music awards she’s still stuck in that BET box
Damn. Ci ain’t playing no games. She actually is a better Singer than Rih.
Let’s not be delusional honey.
Lmao.
Clearly you high
But she is
4/5 stars. Loved the performance, she’s so pretty.
she need to start a rumor or let a surrogate have her baby and leak it so she can make mainstream coin! This is her last straw! She needs to utilize the power of fraudulence and propaganda to power this era. Kick someone ass in an elevator or hold her son like a rag doll while entering into bistros. This performance ain’t trending.
Or may be she can pat her pussay on stage or let her man beat her ass so she can make headlines. Or better, she could post her n****** on nstagram to get some attention or get into a Twitter feud. Wut Ya think?
Oh no, Ci is way too classy n reserved for that I believe.
Lol classy? Right. More like a square. Which is why she remains a shadow of what could have been. I mean when you have people like Rita Ora and tinashe securing more jobs and gigs , furthermore making more of a stride in music that’s bad. I’m not even going to respond to the other nonsensical sh!t you said. Lastly maybe if she start parting that p**** someone will notice her.
Patting *
Awwww everyone the Jeri stan is mad. Let’s all make a PayPal account and donate $5 each so his fav can upgrade from a nest to a birdhouse.
I love your reads! You remind me of Phaedra, so classy and articulate but so lethal
Dude! She does give off Phaedra vibes lol. Phaedra throws shade so effortlessly. She has a way with words haha.
Her vocals are so thin and shaky but this performance was cute for her. I wish her much success but she needs more uptempos and less ballads. She ain’t nobody’s vocalist sorry
I like the way she change her lyric to the song and nice performance do your thing cici princess
Seriously..? I love Ci but this was a mess. The performance was good but the vocals..? Better singer than Rih? :-/
I know the hive has some sort of alliance with the C Squad because their both lessers of Rihanna but to be this delusional is beyond any logical explanation.
Remember when @Molestor was up under LBs d*** and @Slay_My_Bottom actually used periods at the end of his sentences?
Good Job Ci, More practice before the tour though, Shes experienced a lot of vocal growth. And for that KUDOS! She needs to find her confidence in her voice!
I agree, overall her peformances have been very good so far Jackie maybe her best and I want to her sing about baby future
lmao y’all actually thought that was good!? All the other singers sang circles around Ciara’s a struggling voice.
you must applaud a person when they do right, stop with the intense jealousy
This was brilliant, well done cici
I never did understand why black women just don’t wear their natural hair, weave is annoying as hell. When she scratches her head, that s*** moves from side to side, it sheds everywhere and the worst past is it leaves evidence.
‘
You ever cheat on a girl with another girl who wears weave and I bet your girl will be like “who’s weave is that”?
‘
F*** that s***, I only go with girls that are either natural, mixed or white.
‘
Anyway good job Ciara.
Can she live? Like damn. Give her credit. I LOVED this. Her growth is undeniable. “Goodies” Ciara could never lol I just love her.
She did well by her own standards and she looked flawless.
I BET @ BET… WELL INTERESTING WORD PLAY, she did fine but again it’s kinda late to promote this particular Song….
Good Joob Ciara!
ciara no one want to hear you issues with your baby daddy. everyone saw this coming except you. You were so dickmatize you were blind. look on the man track record. he has all those baby mamas before anyone knew who he was. why you think he would stop now that he has some fame.?
AM I the only one who thought the TONE of this song was not appropriate for the show????!?!?!?! The show was about women coming together to celebrate each other and she’s on tv singing “you can keep that chick ova there…the one with the silicone ass…and the brazilian hair”. Doesn’t sound very congenial to me. I would have rather she performed an uptempo but I’ll keep watching her….
