Published: Thursday 29th Jan 2015 by Rashad

As previewed here, Ciara shows off her vulnerable side in a touching acoustic performance of her newest single ‘I Bet.’  

The first lifted from her sixth album, ‘Jackie’ (named in honor of her mother), the Harmony Samuels-produced tune is currently riding its way to the upper rankings of digital charts as we speak.

To give it a boost along its way, Ci offers a stripped version of the tune which, let us tell it, seems to pack more of an emotional punch than its recorded version.  Get into it below and tell us if you agree:

  9. #JACKIE January 30, 2015

    When u hate on someone so much that u cant give when credit is due… pathetic. Ciara killed this and you who continue to hate know it. Again, pathetic.#GoCiCiGoCiCiGo!

    • Lake Erie January 30, 2015

      Pathetic? Yes! Smh. So tired of the haters.

  10. Auntie January 30, 2015

    Love her Janet-esque breathy vocals. She’s not a powerhouse but she really works and it works for her.

    • Lake Erie January 30, 2015

      Exactly!

    • Cupid January 30, 2015

      Ciara has surpassed janet as far as talent is concerned. Better dancer and now she just proved shes a better singer……

      • Nikki January 30, 2015

        Child please bite your tongue and go get off of drugs. Please do yourself a favor.

  11. bee January 30, 2015

    Cici thinks she’s slick. Her live vocals are studo editted…this is not a live set

    • #JACKIE January 30, 2015

      Oh… u edited them huh? Good job. #AsTheSarcasmDrips

    • beelow January 30, 2015

      Okay!!! Thank you. She aint fool me though.

    • Black power January 30, 2015

      Thought I was the only one who caught that.

    • Clover January 30, 2015

      It’s presented as an acoustic music video… stop trying so hard to discredit Ci, it won’t work.

    • Lake Erie January 30, 2015

      Yes the hell she is LIVE!

    • Cupid January 30, 2015

      Raw vocals are on her IG, and she sounds just as good….. You tried it. The most editing I see is the echo which probably just comes from the mic.

      • beelow January 30, 2015

        ummm the Ig video was like 20 secs..

  12. CherylSoldierr January 30, 2015

    Yaaaas slay

  13. Thlly January 30, 2015

    U better sing C!!!!!!!!! Ciara is Ciara and i love her for that!!!!! Welcome back boo!

  14. chris January 30, 2015

    This is not live and is a studio version.she know she wrong for this

  15. Queen Adele’s Husband January 30, 2015

    Wow Slay!!! I didn’t know that Ciara can go in like this! To the Rihanna fans suck a rotten p****. Ciara did what Rih Rih failed to do this era which is showing growth as an artist

    • Lake Erie January 30, 2015

      Lol! I like Rih but may I say,vocally? My girl CiCi has come a long way. Rih stans def better fall back.

  16. Queen Adele’s Husband January 30, 2015

    The Hive are not bothered by Ciara only the Navy hated on this post

  17. #TeamTinashe Stan January 30, 2015

    Sigh…………………….

    Her voice is still the same. No improvement whatsoever.
    And that`s my true honest opinion. And she’s gotta stop making these “songs for the thots” anthems.

    • Clover January 30, 2015

      Nobody believes you.

    • CherylSoldierr January 30, 2015

      But not when your faves only relevance is getting 2 on? I am screaming!

      • #TeamTinashe Stan January 30, 2015

        No you’re “screaming” because your no talent fave isn’t finished her ESL studies to make her US debut.
        You’re “screaming” because all your fave is known for in America is being booted from the US X factor show because of her disheveled tongue that she uses to talk. Ask Simon.

      • CherylSoldierr January 30, 2015

        ESL is a test for English learners. She’s british. Your “drags” are so stupid and idiotic. You talk about Ciara making “Thot” anthems when tunas only hit is thotty af. You’re such a weak, thirsty, obsessed little b**** kiii

      • BeyRihLiyah January 30, 2015

        @cherylsoldier lmaooo this tinashe stan recycles the same drags

      • britneyraycarey January 30, 2015

        I’m crying that this 17knashe stan is trying to down Ciara when Ciara can at least have a song as successful as 2 On 10 years after her first release with Body Party.. Ciara is here to stay, Tinashe is bound to end up a Cassie is she don’t step her game up. Tinashe’s label doesnt even believe in her… baby girl’s time is almost up!

    • FutureCIARA January 30, 2015

      Girl…. The reason why your so bothered, and are pressed enough to include a video in every damn comment you make on this site at an attempt to get your favs flip video views up.

      The gig is up, find your seat and stay seated. I really don’t know why you hate ciara so much.
      Your nerves are so bad and bothered that you may need to think about taking high blood pressure meds.

      • BeyRihLiyah January 30, 2015

        lmaoooooo DRAG THIS HOEEE tunafish is so lame Ciara shittts on 17kinashe

    • Lake Erie January 30, 2015

      I take it you’ve never been through heartbreak or have falling in love with someone you thought you knew and ALL of your relationships lol was peach perfect? Lol. You sound dumb as hell.

  18. Clover January 30, 2015

    Vocals on point. Love this better than the original.

    • thetruth January 30, 2015

      I swear sum folks r just so stupid! Anybody with sense can see that this performance lip synced to her original version of the song…her background vocalists were as well; nice song tho. I wish her well this era…

    • Clover January 30, 2015

      @thetruth Yea… lip synced as MOST music videos are… like what’s wrong with some of yall?

  19. LB January 30, 2015

    I love this song though, go Cici

  20. Levi Loves Ciara January 30, 2015

    She killed it! Ciara is no vocalist, but she knows how to use her vocals which is what really matters. Not everyone was blessed with a wide vocal range, but all singers can learn how to use it. Ciara has always used her voice well.

  21. Mark111 January 30, 2015

    I can’t stop laughing. I got it on repeat. My favorite part is that obvious track version being edit during her non having high note. And the face she made, her lipping is as bad as Mariah’s.

    • Mark111 January 30, 2015

      lol, her fans really think this was LIVE, lol!

    • FutureCIARA January 30, 2015

      Thanks for the streaming views…
      Bye

      • FutureCIARA January 30, 2015

        Deathly!!!!

    • Lake Erie January 30, 2015

      ????? Smh. I’d never watch or entertain an Artist I didn’t care for. It’s obvious you’re intrigued and you wanna see lol. So thanks for the support. With people like you in here? Ha! I know my girl doing something right. You took time out yo day to watch my baby sing. “I bet” you out this b**** on repeat didn’t you? Rewinding and all right? :). It’s some f****** DL stans on this b****. Come out the f****** closet. I might just give you some respect.

  22. Mark111 January 30, 2015

    When I say Umbrella is my favorite song, I mean this version. Take notes AaliyARA Jackson.

      • BeyRihLiyah January 30, 2015

        now this more like it that I flop acoustic shiitt by ci-n**** cant compare to what rih did
        ——-

    • CherylSoldierr January 30, 2015

      Goat vocals from your fave kiii

    • LB January 30, 2015

      She SLAYED, LOVE IT!!!!

  23. FutureCIARA January 30, 2015

    I don’t know why the navy be so pressedT, but can’t even get FiveMinutesOfVocalTorture to #1 on billboard hot 100, while 7/11 is slaying above it. The hive should be the ones Yall are fighting, while not showing your pressation toward Ciara and her fans.

    Yall are so confused and disjointed as a fan base since that new single didn’t skyrocket to #1 that Yall don’t know wtf to do with ya selves!

    And the TunaShell stan….. Girl I understand you really have to work hard being the only pressed heifer on here to represent your tired storm trooper fav, but Hunny back to the drawing board with you. And learn how to shade without showing your extremely starched and steam pressedT! Also stop adding these flop videos to every comment you make on here, nobodies pressing play on that shitt, just like nobody pressed play when they saw Flopquarius on iTunes or when people saw it in the $3 bin at Walmart.

  24. #TeamTinashe Stan January 30, 2015

    @Beyrihliyah is still pressed after I told the truth about his fave. LMFAO. Awww I love it 😀

    @FutureCiara dont be mad that Ciara’s 10 plus year career still can’t manage to get her over and whatever happened to that “planned” group drag somebody was telling me you had in mind for me? Still waiting. Continue telling people to come on TGJ to one up your comments. Remain getting clocked.

    HASHTAG: #TheySeething #IamLIVING ; )

  25. CherylSoldierr January 30, 2015

    I still can’t at tuna having the nerve to come for anyone when her fave just fell of the charts in Zimbabwe.

    • FutureCIARA January 30, 2015

      Hunny Not Zimbabwe girl!!! she slays that market though, seeing that’s where her roots are from! When is her dirt road tour?

  26. britneyraycarey January 30, 2015

    Mediocre b****** with flop faves like 17knashe or a non-singing music industry h** like Rihanna will seethe because Ciara is finally proving her talent, no she doesn’t have the strongest vocals, but she has talent and can dance better than your fave. Deal with it.

  27. MariahIsMusic1 January 30, 2015

    Sang Ci! She’s better than Rih

    • #JACKIE (Cici da baddest) January 30, 2015

      Thank you

  28. Johnsondoe January 30, 2015

    It’s so obvious to see that this IS LIVE. Not edited or pre recorded.. If you ever watch her performances you can tell that this is really her and I’m proud.. It’s always great seeing this side of her.

    • Danny Bey January 30, 2015

      But it’s not tho.

      • #JACKIE (Cici da baddest) January 30, 2015

        A Beyoncé stan would know about lip synching because your fav is the master

  29. #JACKIE (Cici da baddest) January 30, 2015

    Her vocals are so beautiful Rihanna could never
