CIARA AIN’T NO JANET - VIBE OUTTAKES
Monday, January 15, 2007
PHOTOS BY PATRICK HOELCK
This has to be one of the hottest photoshoots Ciara has done since she came out.
These photos are what’s left of her sexy feature for February’s issue of Vibe, where she talks about her evolution, and “past relationship” (with you know who).
![]()
pics obviously from celebritypicturesla.com
And Cici says she ain’t tryna be no Jackson - so stop comparing her to Janet.
“I grew up loving and watching Janet, but because of all the comparisons to her, I don’t want to emulate anything she’s done. If anything, I’d love to have the same amount of success. But I don’t want to be like her - I wanna be my own.” SOURCE
Point well taken - Janet can’t pop her booty like you Ciara. Congrats on your platinum album babe.

These are so boring to me. I have never seen a Ciara editorial where she really gave me what i needed..I need FASHION, POSE, BEAUTY, SWAG, etc. I mean she looks dead and tired, kind of as if she didnt want to do the shoot. I know photographers direct you at the shoot, but dag, she could have thrown a little UMMPH into these pictures.

Anywho…The photos look nice, but it looks like Ciara is playing dressup, i have this issue and she looks very uncomfortable in these get-ups.

yeah
Monday, January 15, 2007 /
honestly, i’m telling yall CiCi really needs to thank CL for helping her gain some more fans and getting pple round to loving her and her music. she’s looking great and sometimes one just cannot help but feel sorry for her with all this comparising going on. PLEASE PEOPLE LAY OFF FOR A WHILE. IT’S A NEW YEAR

I’m sure it’s great to be compared to such a great like Janet but to say she is trying to be like her. I’m sure that bothers Cici. She is her own person.

She looks rather stupid in the third pic in which she is clutching her ankles and shoes. Overall, she loooks VERY uncomfortable in these pics.

I THINK CIARA IS CONFUSE…THE AALIYAH LOOK DIDN’T WORK (BECAUSE HER FANS AIN’T BUYING IT)..THE JANET J DIDN’T WORK, SO WHAT’S NEXT? PUT ME IN A DRESS…I THINK SHE IS STILL FINDING HERSELF AND HAVE LEARN A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON. DON’T COPY ANY ONE ELSES WORK. I (LOVE) THE OLD CIARA THAT’S WHAT MADE HER DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS MORE COMFORTABLE LIKE THAT (BLOND HAIR)..

I love Ciara, but in these pictures she dose look uncomfortable. I like Ciara as a tomboy thats her style and its cool, but the sexy sex-kitten is not her thing.

Yes, I agree that Ciara has evolved gracefully and she has stayed sweet, humble, and sophisticated while all of this fame has been thrown her way. She’s representing herself well. Bow Wow is a scrub and she has surpassed him in fame and in maturity…..he looks like a little boy and I feel sorry for him, becuase he probably won’t grow any taller. People seem to always down Ciara’s vocals, but I think she can sing and her performance makes up for it, although I don’t think she’s that great of a dancer, it seems like she never fully brings it, like she’s holding back. When she dances to me it seems like she’s doing a quick run through, she’s really stiff and the dances that she chooses are blah, blah , blah. Like I said she can perform and give you more than most od these singers out her, but when you look at it, overall she’s not a good dancer

And she will never be Janet! Ms. Ciara career is already slowing down after two albums and one single from the seccond. The sales from her latest are sluggish. At least it took over 20 yrs in Janet’s career to see a decline in record sales.

Some of these photos look awkward. Everybody on CL use to compare her to Janet. Now that she makes a comment saying that she isn’t Janet, all of a sudden everyone here is changing their story.

I think the photos look hot and I can’t wait to read the artictle.
#5 WTF are you talking about? She is not a model its just a regular shoot for a mag like any other artist would do.
If these pics were not ciara and another female ya’ll would not be over-analyzing and shit……..she has no hips, her legs are manish, she needs work in the boob dpt?……..WTF!!!

Ciara looks nice in the dress, but she shoulda told them stylists not to put her in that lil training bra thingy!! Thats not a good look, its almost like looking at kiddy porn..kinda disturbing to me, lol. CiCi got them legs…I bet Bow Wow is hurting on the inside. She was too much for that lil nigga anyway…He probably just lost his lil million dollar virginity. Go get em Ciara and Janet needs to be emulating YOU!!

I guess i’m missing something. If she would’ve said Aaliyah I wouldn’t have been surprised because I’ve been telling my daughter that although Ciara is o.k that girl is trying to be Aaliyah.
Where is the heck did Janet come from? I don’t see ANYTHING she doesn’t that makes me think on Janet. Not Control Janet, Rhythm Nation Janet, 20yo Janet, NO Janet!
CiCi is very cute and seems nice but she does nothing for me talent wise.
I do however, LOVE to know that she is killing Lil arrogant Bow Wow.

Nigerian men are soo crazy about this gurl, it doesn’t even make sense. Even when she was in baggy pants and T-shirts, they would still talk about her. I would love to see what they will say now. I guess its that sex appeal.

I never thought she was trying to be like Janet even though she can dance her ass of but it’s really easy to see that she likes beyonce alot and you can take that anyway you want I mean the way she did the walk in the promise video and the first two pics and the outfit in promise with the white shirt and shoes and the dress in the second pic is very beyonceish

I disagree, actually they would. Go back to every single post of a female photo shoot and please believe somebody, if not several people have torn the person featured down. Sad, but unfortuntely that’s just how it is on all the black blogs I’ve been on. There might be some that don’t but the one’s I have been on all do. Some blog comments are worse than others but they all do it.

Ehhhh. Yes, she’s a humble chick. Comends!! Talented? Meh. I like to watch her on mute. This photo shoot? She looks uncomfortable. When a person is uncomfortable on a shoot, it reads thru the picture and it kills the whole effect. The cover pic was gorgeous though.

I like Ciara. Her personality seems cool. But I wish that these younger celebs in the music biz will at least own up to some of the SWAGGER JACKIN’ they do. I mean, everyone in one way or another tries to be like Janet because she’s the blue print. Janet has been around foe 20 plus years. So that should be a compliment. No matter what any of those girls say, I see a little Janet in all of them (the women that are performers, Ciara, Beyonce, ect.). And in Ciaras case, where I see a little bit of Janet I see ALOT of Aaliyah. So just own up to the swagger jackin’, that’s all I ask.

I think ci ci is cool. Just what she said, she aint trying to be like Janet, and she is not trying to replace Aaliyah ok. She is trying to stay in the cut and make her own path. Oh and bow wow was mad when he was hosting 106npark for a week and on one of them days his video got surpassed by Miss Ci Ci and they was like what you think about that and all he said is pass, pass, pass.

Much better from the other photo shoots but to tell the truth she’s just not sexy to me. Hers legs are nice but her shoulders are broad and she be lookin so manly sumtimes. Call me a hater but the sexy look she be trying to go for just dont be working. And that bottom lip aint gone worry me. But she seems to be a nice person so I’ll let her make it.

I’m not impressed. She does look uncomfortable as hell. plus, i knew them A cups were bound to come out sooner or later. Vibe trying to front airbrushing shit.
And #51, you are not the only one who thinks she is not all that of a dancer. I grew up around dancers all my life and they will let u know that most of her dances are predictable or just recycled from the 90’s. However these people here disagree because she is spectacular.
