Ciara is riding the rocket of success with ‘Level Up’ and it made an explosive stop on the Ellen Show today.
Backed by an army of dancers, the stage blazer ignited the stage with a colossal performance of the viral smash and newest single ‘Dose’ – the video for which arrived earlier today.
A high-octane affair, CiCi showed up and showed out! Watch her werk after the jump…
Much like Ellen, we continue to be in awe of Ciara’s showmanship! She’s a force to be reckoned with on-stage and we’re elated that ‘Level Up’ – as a song and movement – is allowing more to be reminded of that.
Incredible performance.
Alright now they worked it out! ?
You confuse me.
I liked the performance but the problem with Citra is that she is not connecting with a target audience. She should be using her own style with her fashions and dancing instead if copying Janet. She should release non-charting songs like Dose as buzz singles rather than investing money in songs that won’t chart. Finally, she needs to invest more in better music that let’s people connect with her as an artist rather than songs like Dope and Level Up. We don’t want baby Janet. We want grown woman artist Ciara.
She fails to bring it and lately she looks tired when she is performing all the time. If she tired after just 4 minutes how will she ever be capable of headlining. Janet could do Ciara’s little routines effortlessly at 50 so why can’t Ciara? Also, why does Ciara got on the same outfit she wears to open for Bruno on Ellen. Seems like she could have changed up her uniform for tv.
Both of these are kinda weak. I’m afraid this album will be another flop if she doesn’t do something soon. and what’s with the half pants/ shorts look?? ?
I guess Janet let you borrow her hair since the “State of the World” tour is over.
Love her version of the “All for You” outfit as well. Instead of the jacket… she did the pants lol.
When are these girls going to realize that Janet isn’t dead?
OMB BISH. She is jacking JANET’s ALL for you vibe like crazy. Will these girls every be ORIGINAL???? Love the songs thou
I agree. The problem here is that the style on Citra is forced. Fans and people still interested want to see Ciara”s own style not Janet”s yester year styles worked again. Who is Ciara? That is the question Ciara needs to address for a comeback.
Great performance!
Shes killin promo for this…not sure if its the right song tho
Knackered just watching her.
She is quite possibly one of THEE most beautiful women alive!
Yall, its ok to like more than one black woman at a time! This was awesome! Glad to see her winning !
So basically the same recycled performance from the award show?
For some reason I feel like she ain’t giving her performances the energy it needs and deserves. LEVEL UP Cici. Love me some Ciara but she seems tired!
@Carter.. – I agree
I want Ciara to win, but again, there is something not quite right about this performance. Perhaps its the songs, the theme, the costuming….I dunno. Next single, please.
She showcased what she’s great at which was dancing! She lipsynced her vocals to a prerecorded track in the beginning & barely song at all… again… she’s a great dancer but I would never spend any money on seeing someone just dance! This is why Bey is in a class of her own bcuz she’s mastered doing both at the same time & the only person that I’ve seen can come close to her doing both is her bandmate Kelz…
It’s funny how your faves give mediocre lazy hood dance performances oh and might I add it be the same choreo EVERY TIME just a different outfit and you all eat that s*** up. Beyonce shows are like a Jordan shoe. Same sneaker, different color so don’t give me that bull. And Rihanna has no choice but to be original cause she can’t sing or dance.
Level Up: cute social media viral moment. Dose: Good job on the video.
However, Ciara’s latest live performances? Difficult to watch Ciara without CRINGING!
She and her dancers slayed the choreo. But I’m always so distracted by which minimal parts she chooses to speak/sing with the backing track.
What make matters worse, is the annoyingly obvious swagga jacking she does of Janet’s aesthetic, performance style and distinct Janet ‘ism’s’. Stoppit! Ugh.
Dose is a terrible song.
To bad it’s not explosive on charts ?
I don’t understand… she’s the rightful heir to Janet Jackson’s crown!
