CIARA: THE EVOLUTION

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

ciara_time.jpg

A 30 second sampler of Ciara’s new album, “Ciara: The Evolution” has leaked, and I am pleasantly surprised. I’m not going to post all of the snippets, because I don’t think snippets do songs justice. But Ciara’s worked with a little bit of everyone on this album. From Polow Da Don, to The Neptunes, to Jazze Pha, to The Clutch to Will.I.Am, whereas her last album, “Goodies,” was more restricted. I can’t wait to hear the finished products, because I think Ciara has definitely evolved as an artist.

I watched the Ciara Video called PROMISE the other day…

I honestly can’t figure out what the big fuss is about….

Has anyone noticed besides me that Ciara can’t sing ???

I mean she can hold a tune, she’s just not a great singer…

And as far as that Promise Video goes, I much rather see MYA jump around and dance seductivly than watch Ciara….

Something about her irks me..I can’t figure it out…Maybe it because she rely too much on her “Sexy” instead of her talent (or lack thereof).

That’s MY opinion…
do disrespect to the Ciara fans out there….

I respect ciara a lot for following her dream, I have that same dream, and it’s extremely hard to keep yourself going, her music aside, she seems like a very determined young lady, i wish her success!

I can say that I am not a Ciara fan, but I believe she is going to be very big. The reason I say this is because she is beginning to draw a lot of negative attention that all popular celebrities get. Once you’re talked about all the time, then you know you’ve made it.

With that said, I wish Ciara the best of luck with her new cd.

I am lovin this. I have the whole album snippets and i keep playin them. I need to get a life, but OMG!!!

Im SO EXCITED. I LOOOOOOOVE “Like A Boy.”

“My Love” is good too.

She should release “Bang It Up”

From the snippets I can’t say i’m that impressed. But I do like Promise, and she has become a better artist. I’ve said some negative stuff about her, but hell normal people have to deal with it. I know her dream is to sing (even though she is clearly not that talented in that) but she makes her music sound damn good. Every song climbs the chart quickly. So I hop The Evolution does well.

Her personality I can’t get with. She claims to be too innocent, with saying sex before marriage isn’t right. But they way she dances says come and get me (especially in the promise video when she’s on the wall). But hell sex sells.

And stop comparing her to Aaliyah. Everybody can dance nowadays. That doesn’t mean that they are trying to be her. But the “Get Up” video reminded me of “Try Again”. “Promise” is almost a Dup of Aaliyah. But that’s her style, so work it.

She’s an entertainer. Promise is a hot song and some of the tracks here I like. “Bang It Up,” etc… I think it’s all good stuff. I wish her much success. You can be sexy without having sex– so just because she makes sexy videos or whatevs doesn’t mean she gets down with the get down or maybe she does. But, honestly what parent would let their kid listen to Ciara if she advocated sex. You have to use your head about things.

LOL @14

I like “like a boy” and “my love”…that c.r.u.s.h snippet needs to be done. Cause that stutter is NOT flattering for her voice. It was annoying.

The rest are to be deteremined. I hope Ci-ci has a happy thanksgiving! LOL

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

@#9 Bill….As usual, you are on POINT!!! I WAS gonna come on here and say almost exactly what you just said
A) She can’t sing and her songs are SO easy to sing (I am a singer songwritter as well)
B) She seems like a really nice girl but SOMETHING about her just irks me as well lol!! Can’t quite put my finger on it and I know it’s not the fact that she can’t sing because the industry will ALWAYS have jerk-offs at music companies signing people who can’t even hold a tune for some reason…I have learned to just change the channel in that case
C)Again…something about here REALLY irks me lol!!! I don’t know what it is?! Almost ANYONE can write these “Cotten candy, sweet as gold” ass lyrics she is taking credit for on this latest album lol!!

But go ahead Ciara fans!!! Pick-up her album instead of a real artist such as Tamia who dropped this week or even Robin Thick, a dope ass Canadian white boy with the power of the PEN and a beautiful wife to boot!!!

The Evolution of Robin Thicke is out now and it is OFF THE HOOK!! Real lyrics + real music = a VERY HAPPY PLEEZE lol!!!!!

25.

PLEEZE!!!

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

Also, I forgot to mention…I have ALL male friends of different ethnic backgrounds and NON of them find her sexy or really even “Cute”. I think she is attractive though, but I guess not too many men do?!

26.

Angel

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

I don’t think of ciara as much of an artist but all her songs are usually on point lyrically and the beats are always hott. I cant wait for her album to drop, Im really feelin like a boy, Bang it up, and my love.

27.

kenya

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

please…i have male friends that all think she’s hot right now. clearly if hang with black guys that only like light to white women….she would not be there thing.. but real black men can appreciate her beauty.

~I already have both…they are great. Especially Robin Thicke…his album is wonderful. I’ve been a solid Tamia fan since 1997.

Did anyone know that Robin Thicke actually worked on the “Confessions” album by Usher? Didn’t know that until I popped Confessions into my computer and scrolled over a song…and his name popped up!

I’m late but better late then never…

I’m another one that can’t judge an album by snippets, so I’ll have to wait until I hear the full songs to give a review.

To those that feel the need to keep bringing up how Ciara can’t sings, WE KNOW THIS! You’re not saying anything. I don’t think anybody is trying to make Ciara out to be a great vocalist. But some people like her as a entertainer (she is good at that) and feel her songs are cool.

And some of us that like her also like Robin, Bilal, Jaguar, etc. It’s ok to like different types of music and artists.

The girl has stepped up her game significantly and in the process stepped right over Janet as sexy R&B singer. I read where people say she can’t sing,Whut! and Janet can? Her [Ciara} music has matured nicely. She should tell her ex [BOW WOW] to stop rapping to these teenage girls and leave those “SCREAM” tours to Pretty Ricky,Jibbs and Sammie. I guess that is why she left that “puppy”.

36.

CIARA IS COOL.SHE SINGS, SHE DONT “SANG” , YA GET MY POINT?
SHE’S VRY PRETTY (SOMETIMES),… SOMETIMES, TOO BUTCHY FOR MY TASTE.
HOWEVER, THE DANCES IN THE “PROMISE” VIDEO ARE SOOOOOOOOO SXY!! ESPECIALLY THE ONE UP AGAINST THE WALL. SHIT, IT GAVE ME SOME NEW IDEAS AND TRICKS!! LOL.
OVERALL, I AINT GON JUST HATE TOO HARD ON CIARA. BUT IVE SEEN BETTER…AKA (BACK IN DA DAY.. REAL ASS SINGERS) AND THERE AINT NONE, I MEAN NONE AROUND LIKE THESE ANYMORE:

ANGELA WINBUSH
MIKI HOWARD
KAREN WHITE
ANITA BAKER
REGINA BELLE
VESTA
MELISA MORGAN
SHIRLEY MURDOCK
ETC………
THOSE ARE THE REAL SINGERS … NOT LIKE THIS NEW BOOTY SHIT WE GOT NOW.. BEE- YOU STILL MY GRL. GON!! lol!!

#22 and 23 I thought I was the only one I can’t see youtube either and I can never listen to the songs, but I guess that’s what happens when you work for the government. However I can see videos on ifilm.com. Happy Thanksgiving!

Sizzle

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

@ #36, I like the list you made. I was watching VH1 Soul the other night and they played videos from some of these greats. And let’s add Rachelle Farrell to the list.

CiCi is not a singer but an entertainer. I love her to death but, some of the beats and lyrics sound bubble-gummish(is that a word..who cares. is now). That’s what I’m taking from the snippets. She’ll go far because she’s pretty and has the moves. I wish her the best.

I like the snippets. I love the “promise” video and song. I think that ciara can sing but she’s not whitney. She sings way better than janet and she also sings way better than people give her credit for, she needs to come out with an acapella to shut these naysayers down.

NO Bill I don’t agree with you, you can take your criticism else where.

i also like Robin thick and tamia too.

Yeah ciara going do it big on this album I mean look at all the negative feed back and these are just little snips of the album and people already saying they dont like it she going do just fine

@9 and 24
what the fuck yall mean something about her irks yall?What is it about her that irks the hell out of yall?

We all know ciara cant sing that well OKAY we get it so stop saying it janet nor modonna cant sing that well either but look were they are at

#24 you say alot of men you be with dont find her to be sexy,WHO CARES? there are over 32 million probablt billion people in this world do you actually think somebody cares about their opinion because if you dont know their opinion is not the fact!you say you know men who thinks she not that sexy,well I know men who say they will die to be with ciara shit somebody think she sexy stop hatin you probably a ashanti fan or cassie fan but hate ciara.

Anyway weather her album will flop or not I will def go cop me one.

45.

sxy chameleon

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

yeah, maybe she does need to come out w/ an acapela. but, i doubt vry seriously that’ll happen. thats too much for her.!! lol!! sorry, she aint no whr near acapella status… once again, she IS pretty, she SXY, she can dance her ass off…..(SO I AINT HATIN) BUT THE BUCK STOPS THERE. SHE AINT NO DAYUM “SANGER” ESPECIALLY NO DAYUM ACAPELLA SANGER. PUH-LEASE… (NOT YET, U GOTTA TAKE BABY STEPS) SHE’LL BE AIGHT THO. LOL!!!

46.

TooThru

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

Sorry, Bill but I would prefer Ciara over Mya any day. Mya is annoying to me and doesn’t have the greatest singing voice either.

As for CiCi, she is not the greatest singer by any means but she does have an edge to her. Her lyrics and beats are catchy and they obviously appeal to the mainstream. She’s not a timeless singer but she’ll definitely shine for sometime to come. GO make that money, CiCi.

Like a Boy and My love, are my favorites so far. I Love Ciara! I understand that she isnt the MOST talented singer, but i do think that she can sing, and she doesnt get enough credit. I met her in 2004, and she was so sweet! I guess thats what made me become a fan and i been a BIG fan ever since, because I have met my share of celebrities, but none of them have had a personality like hers! I have been a fan since goodies and i will continue to support her, she really does deserve it. She really has stepped her game up, especially in her performances.

WOW!ciara sure can attrack alot of attention even her haters come here to see whats new with her,yeah she going do fine she going do just fine she even got these fake ass critics on her tail;dont stop hatin people ciara needs her haters(or whatever yall what to call it)just as well as she needs her fans so like the outkast group said for all haters please dont go on break because the celebs need yall,believe it or not yall make them stronger fans make them strong but the haters just make them stronger to move on so they can prove yall wrong.

Most would call it speaking their minds to cover up the hate,others just say oh its my opinion;oh please sometimes speaking your mind and having your so called own opinions is hating so for all my ciara fans if she has any on here get use to the hate cause ciara gonna be around for a while and the people that she irks the hell out of is gonna be even mader halla.

64.

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

lol at you people taking things to heart,its just Ciara,nothing really special, but I still get her album though.i just prefer someone to touch the soul rather just want to sell records…IMO nobody has to agree with me.

65.

my love yeah right

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

C.R.U.S.H IS KINDA NOT A GOOD TRACK nor MY LOVE but the rest ummmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess I like but like #44 said rather her shit flops or not which I believe it will flop Im still going to get me a copy.

and why does it seem that every artist get talk about but ciara gets talked about the most.

66.

HandsomeStranger

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 /

I love what Ciara has done with her album this time around. She stepped it up beat-wise, lyrically, & vocalally. With “The Evolution” she has proved that she gots what it takes to stay in the game!
