Atlanta showed up and showed out for the homecoming of their R&B darling Ciara.
The star’s ‘Jackie Tour’ rolled in to the A last night and played to a sold-out crowd at the Center Stage arena.
Super turnt up from the jump, the audience lapped up the high-octane show which saw the performer belt out hits such as ‘Body Party,’ ‘Promise,’ and ‘I Bet.’ She also served up showings of the sultry new numbers such as ‘Lullaby‘ and ‘Dance Like We’re Making Love’ and club cut ‘That’s How I’m Feeling.’
Peep the performances after the jump…
Why no post on her top 20 album’s debut?
Hmmm..
GET EM CICI in TPAINS AUTO TUNE VOICE
Anywho, Ciara looks nice in the lead pic.
She does! I was thinking the same thing!
Good morning love! *wink*
Lol of course you were Gemini twin! Morning babes!
Hey when is your b-day again? Mine is May 21st.
Shut up! You’re a May Gem?!!! I love them! Half my family is. I’m May 26! 🙂
Omg! I knew you were a May baby too! Coolness. I just wanted to know when to wish you happy birthday!
Fun facts:
You, Janet and I are all born on the 5th month of the year, May, and our birthdays are exactly 5 days apart in May!!
(Dunk) 16th>>(Me)21st>>(You)26th
Wow, that’s so F-L-Y.
We are near Janet! <3 You actually have the same b'day as B.I.G. I already know that you're a "creative". I share my b'day with Lauryn Hill & Lenny Kravitz. Andre 3000 and Lisa Lopes (Left Eye) were born a day too late (May 27th). Lol. The June clan has some pretty cool people in it too though (Prince, Tupac, Kanye)… S****** is a Gem too, but I'd bet money he's in June!
Wow that’s crazy u have my Mother’s bday . Mines is May 30th .
Oh wow, you too Richie? I’m not surprised! You have a certain Gemini energy! 🙂
@Kev
Yes I know Big and I share a common b-day! He was a wordsmith like all us may babies!
You having the same b-day as Lauryn and Lenny is crazy!
We share b-day’s with some LEGENDS! 🙂
@Ritchie
Hey love! Stands to reason you are part of the may crew!
Love you in your words ‘dollface’! 🙂
Le struggle est réel
She should do reality TV and try to get a Vegas residency. She should also consider going independent.
She’s not a big enough name for Vegas.
Reality TV can give her a platform to rebuild an audience. She is well spoken and sweet, she can do well with a show on E!
Ciara get a Las Vegas residency?
::sips truth tea::
Not unless that residency is in the parking lot of the Riviera that closed last week
I’m sorry but not big enough for Vegas unless it at a struggle hotel like riviera or rio Vegas is not like it used to be people Today Vegas is pretty much Iike a crazier extension of L.A you need either relevency or icon status to book residency there
Damn!
The fact that Ciara is not big enough for Vegas and Britney Spears is, when Ciara can sing,dance, and perform better than she can, is a reflection of society in general has poor taste in music!! It also underscores the undercurrent of racism that still exists within America, for if she was a white girl with just 10% of her talent(Taylor Swift, Katy Perry) she would be much larger!!!! THAT’S SOOOOO SAD!!! CIARA, if you want to be relevant to the idiotic music consumer, bleach your skin throw in some blue contacts, and dust off that blonde wig in da back of your closet!!!! I’m still rooting for because at the end of the day, u have TALENT!!!!
@Obsidian what does racism have to do with music stupid the reason why Ciara wouldn’t be a good fit for Vegas is because she wouldn’t bring any money into the venues there she’s not big enough especially not even Britney Spears level it has nothing to do with performing it’s all about that all mighty dollar AKA Money, Ciara just not a huge Global artist like Britney,Mariah,Celine Dion,Wayne Newton,Barry Mannilow, hell she’s not even bigger then Sigfreid and Roy, believe me it has nothing to do with race it’s all about Money,Marketing,and Sales and Ciara’s just not Marketable.
@shady81 what I was conveying through my post was that Ciara would be more “MARKETABLE” to mainstream America if she was white, thus being able to acquire a residency a la Britney Spears and enjoy robust sales! I can’t help the fact that u lack the following: reading comprehension skills, and the ability to analyze society as a whole!!! Take that up with your grade school teachers for failing you!!!
First of all @Obsidian b**** you’ve tried number #1 I can read and like I said before racism has nothing to do with it her being quote on quote if she was white has nothing to do with it and her being marketable to mainstream America b**** please she can’t even sell a decent album without it sell 20k or under, when it comes to Vegas. Vegas wants big money not chump change Vegas is known for gambling,Food,extra curricular activities if you know what I mean,and big name stars that bring in big money performances. Ciara has been in the game for over 13 years came out the same time Beyonce went solo and still doing opening acts for artists who either came out before, during, or after her. And now she’s stuck doing bar shows. No high roller or any person with a ton a cash is going to drive, hop on a train or bus, not even a plane to see Ciara for $5 with a free two drink minimum. Hell No no one is gonna take off there hard earn job to see no damn Ciara, hell if I wanna see some dancing entertainment I’d just go see JLo at least I’ll be entertained and I’ll get all of my moneys worth.
I just get my life from the Dance like we’re making love performance. She slayed the choreography and chair routine. Love the song!!
She is yet to slay those chart tho’
The Dance like we’re making love performance is AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL choreo
The video for the single should be a live clip. She dances and sings wonderfully
Love energy on that’s how i’m feeling, my fav of the new album
Go Cici! She always puts on a show!
I’m down with this h** she should have released dance like we making love a month ago release a video then drop the album! It’s like she set herself up for failure why cling to a snooze fest like I bet and using it to promote the album??? she better call VH1
Slay Cici! She dancing her TAIL off. Po’Thang, is a beautiful flop. Why y’all don’t like this child?
I might be in the minority but I’m still rooting for you CiCi!!! I still have faint hope for you to scan gold at least.
Nocki barley scan gold with a year of promo And less than 200k the first week. 20k will NOT see 500k or 100k.
The lies you tell Markeisha!!! TPP didn’t struggle to go Gold. IT went gold in just 3 months and all the singles were certified(Platinum and Gold). Truffle Butter>>>> American Flopgen.
CiCi!!!! My girl rocked that arena!!!! She might as well go into open up some more cites and tour the rest of the summer cuz she is def in demand! F*** whacha heard.
#GooCiCi!
Kii @ arena. Looks like a 500 capacity nightclub to me 😉
Who gives a f&ck..she is working ..ARE YOU”???
@Chillin, she sure is, working that stage! No running back and forth to vomit like other performers I heard of in the past.
“Arena”. I like her but Y’all tried it. Center stage holds 1400 tops
SLAYED and the G**** is mad pressed and bothered as usual. I saw my queen on the 7 and my life was changed forever! Rih could never f***!!!
20Kie! Lol
The karma in it all…
#17 on BB 200 same as a newbie.
Lol, except Tinashe has a way better album.
Far better. No need to compare.
Lol this site is seriously the most comical music “news” site (blog really) that I have stumbled across
Why can’t people just be honest and stop having bias! No one is interested in Ciara, THATS WHY NO ONE BUYS HER MUSIC. Don’t give me that she does real music, racism, talented bs.
Sam Smith and adele are talent and THEY SELL
BEYONCE AND RIHANNA ARE BLACK AND THEY SELL
She had promo, no pushbacks, and a decent lead single
No excuse, all y’all can talk about is one sold out crowd, but when other successful black female artists (y’all know who I’m talking about) have achieved much greater success y’all shade???
KEEP IT REAL Ppl
I don’t dislike ciara, i just want people to tell the news plain and straight without spin, bias, personal feelings…thats all
Junebug I wish I could hug you thank you that’s the same thing I was trying to tell that dumb ass @Obsidian b**** but she acts like Ciara is so marketable when she really isn’t. Ciara came out around the same time as Beyonce and should be at Beyonce’s level of success, but Rihanna came out in 2005 and Rihanna is bigger than Ciara what the hell,like you said ain’t nobody checking for Ciara, she’s just not as hot as she use to be because if she was she wouldn’t be on her fourth flop.
cici fans need to stream this album!!!!! 25k is a mess!!! request her songs!!!! her album is tooo good for that!!!
I am so proud of her,i know she is gonna improve as time goes by and many people will actually realise that she has TALENT
I listened to Jackie and it doesn’t deserve to flop! it was a solid album smh
Exactly, thank you babe. The album is great, and no it doesn’t deserve to flop. But atleast it’s solid quality… She didn’t try to steal anyone’s formula and recreate it as her own. She has stayed humble and classy and grateful throughout it all.
Yall stay bitter & perched in Ciara’s posts….. Meanwhile JACKIE at least debuted at #1 on Billboard R&B albums…. This album isn’t a complete waste. Most of Yall in here acting like your fave isn’t struggling to snatch #1 albums and singles…..
Don’t know why a Tinashy Stan in here hating, meanwhile Flopquarius hasn’t even scanned Latex Condom yet…. And Rihbola has yet to slay with this comeback era with 7373636 singles released as of January.
–
Stop being hating a** faggz and just listen to the music!
Ciara keeps holding her stomach. Is there something you want to tell us, Cici? Did Russell knock you up already?
C I A R A is the greatest female entertainer when it comes to live performances. No shade to bey and rih love them too..C I A R A just doesnt have the right production….She is literally a female embodiment of Michael Jackson (r.i.p) Ciara entertainment style is very innovative…….so On That Note #Csquad #IBet #BADMUTHAF****a #jackie
I love Ciara dearly. But those vocals sound a hot steaming mess! I know that’s not what she is known for but damn.
Ciara is an amazing entertainment and her album Jackie is wonderful
