For quite some time there has been speculation that Ciara and Keri Hilson have been involved in a bitter feud. However, earlier today Ciara showed her fellow Atlanta native some indirect support. The ‘Ride’ performer was referring to a recent ‘X-Factor’ audition by Cher who performed Hilson’s ‘Turn My Swag On’. Check out what she had to say below:

Business certainly appears to be picking up with Ciara‘s ‘Basic Instinct’ project. The singer’s label today issued a detailed album press release , revealing a number of new song titles, as well as their concepts. An interesting read, which has us anticipating the record that much more…

Despite a number of false-starts, Ciara‘s ‘Basic Instinct’ project appears to be back on track. As previously reported, the 24 year old is set to follow-up the Urban smash that was ‘Ride’ with dual-singles ‘Gimme Dat’ and ‘Speechless’.

With both performing well on US radio (particularly ‘Speechless’, which is exploding prior to its official add date), the 24 year is reportedly set to shoot the video for each within the next two weeks.

Regardless of the delays, if there’s one arena you can’t fault Ms. Harris on, it’s her videos. No doubt she’ll ‘bring it’ and then some.

Lifted from the International version of Ciara’s ill-fated ‘Fantasy Ride’, this week’s classic From The Vault clip is 2008’s ‘Go Girl’. A sassy pro-female anthem, the song’s accompanying video demanded an equally hard-hitting video – which Ciara and director Melina delivered with ten-fold.

Criminally underrated, the video stands as one of the R&B stars best (despite ironically performing worst). From its futuristic Robo-diva nod, to the ironic spin on the female in the workplace, to the killer choreography, it boasts all the features of an engaging, entertaining and, above all, cracking video! Ciara, we salute you…
