I love my CiCi. She's beautiful, has such a positive spirit and is a great performer but this was cringe-worthy. I give her credit for taking the time improve her voice as she sounds better than she did 11 years ago when she debuted. I can't say the same about some other singers with similarly small voices. The first sign this wasn't such a good idea was seeing her three back-up singers with her on the field. I can't recall ever seeing a solo artist perform this song with other people unless they use a band. She had such a rough start and her pitch was off. Same goes for her phrasing. Her belts were good for her though. Ciara needs to understand that she will never be regarded as a vocalist and that's fine. Janet, J.Lo and Britney all made great careers out of being passable singers.
