LOL! @ #41. Has it ever occurred to you that the short style is a wig fool.
Anyways. I been rocking this song since like september. It’s a cute song, nothing major. I think she looks adorable in the video. Mya can do no wrong to me. I STILL bump the “Fear Of Flying” album & the “Moodswing” album.
Also. No need to compare Ciara to Mya. Mya’s a vet & has been doing this for years. I’m sure Ciara herself (like many of us females) has had her share of re-enacting Mya’s videos. Like

or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4yp0_MoAlI this.
They have two totally different styles. Both in singing, song choice & dancing. Why can’t we appreciate both of them for what they do & not pit two opposing talents against each other.

I heard the song before I say the video a while ago and I love it. More could have been done with the video. Either way, glad Mya’s back!

Mya looks great in this video, the new second verse is good and the video is good too. the darkness but sex appeal is great. she’s dancing, she’s hot and i hope she does well this summer. hopefully the cd is good so i can buy it.

Any one who is trying to compare Mya to Ciara…There is no competition, Mya wins all day long!!! Check out Case of the ex (watcha gonna do) video by Mya on you tube. That is where she is really dancing. Everything Mya did, Ciara is trying to do now. If you’re not convinced check out the video and tell me if you think Ciara can do all that sh!t. I THINK NOT!!!

Mya does the damn thing she been doing way b4 ciara, bee or any of them that’s out now she always in her own lane also that bet countdown was wack from jump mya should’ve been on there especially when she use to dance for teen summit (i watched it everyday).

When I saw the video I knew the FIRST thing that came to ppls minds is the comparison with her and Ciara I will admit that it kindve reminded me of her!
N e who I like the song but the video looks recycled I’ve seen it before they need to come up with some new concepts damn think outside the box!
Good to see her back though even though I was never a big Mya fan
My boy Wayne was doing his thang though, hey Wayneeeee lol

can everyone just stop with the comparisons! Come on Mya vs Ciara, surely u all know theres no competition. Ciara is for tha little kids man, dont get me wrong, Promise and her album is fiyah, but Mya’s for tha grown! She doin her own thing now, and as for dancing, come one Ciaras good but she all over the place, Myas more professional, and skilled.. This song can stamp out any Ciara song, sorry but its true.. (unless ur 12)

I am so happy Mya is back…she is the only twenty something female that i can relate to thats single. (Married- Kelis) She is real and talks about real issues,like “Late” on her last album (which was about females missing your menstrual) on her last album… I am waiting for her to take over….

Can we Please keep this about Mya?!!?!?
Dang she really has some hater!
The bottomline is that Mya did her thing with this video. People need to accept that and give props!
Album comes out june 26th!!
I’ve heard other tracks, its gonna be hot!

I like Mya….but I am not feeling this song or video so much. Like someone else said (too lazy to scroll back up and check, LOL) I was more focused on hair hair and wardrobe….thoe white pants in the last scene were HAWT! LOL
I am looking forward to hearing her album….I hope when the next single drops she’ll bring it!

Good point #94. I was kinda thinking the same thing…everyone that is stating Ciara is better must be real young and unfamiliar with Mya’s background. Because there is no debate that Mya is the more skilled and trained dancer.

i caught a little of the video yesterday. i normally don’t watch b.e.t but i came across this video and from what i seen it was ok. she looks good in the video. however, i think my favorite mya song will always be “my like is like woa”. maybe one of my fav songs period. but kudos to mya. from what i seen this is a good “come back” single/video. hopefully the rest of the cd/singles released will be as consistent.

Damn. What do kinda music do y’all like!!!??? I don’t think any of the songs Angel puts up are appreciated. The song is hot and it is perfect for this Spring/Summer time vibe we havin. The beat is nice, it could’ve done without Wayne but his verse was a hella lot better than Jay’s verse on “Umbrella”. So anyways…I will be getting Mya’s album, I loved “Ayo” and I love this song too.

nodin but da truth

HER VOICE IS STILL SWEET, BUT NICE TO LISTEN TO NOW. IN OTHER WORDS- HER VOICE HAS MATURED, SHE LOOKS GREAT, AND I’M VERY PROUD OF HER COMEBACK. I LOVED THE VIDEO, VERY HOT AND MATURE. SEXY….

I am very proud of Mya. My long wait was not in vain. She was totally FIRE in this video.
Such a refreshing feel from what’s out now. She looked damn good on the show too. Now that’s a body. Not overly big like some people or lacking curves like some. WOW.
@81. I feel what you’re saying, I wish people would quit.
And it’s true…many readers on her probably were not as keen back in the ‘98 when Mya came out.
The comparisons need to stop. They have different styles, but one (Mya) has more variety and poise with her dancing. Ciara is very technical and good at street dancing…but really what else has she shown since coming out?
You people are sick. Mya has danced so many ways since ‘98 and you all still fail to show respect. Let go of the hatorade man, damn it. And I think the real people know real talent…so I guess I’ll just learn to ignore you fools.
It’s good to have an opinion but be constructive about it without trying to diss someone or put them down. Constructive criticism is what it’s called.
ANYWAY…MYA YOU ARE BACK AND VERY HOT!
I am still your #1 JAMAICAN FAN!!
LOCK THEM DOWN!!

Thursday, April 26, 2007 /
To Some But Not All:
FOR THE LAST PHUKIN’ TYME……
Mya & Ciara HAVE 2 DIFFERENT STYLES! Besides, ONE came up before THE OTHER. If you’re younger than 16, then I’ll xcuse your ignorance, but damn, can’t a singer get their phuckin shine on without being compared to another singer like some elementary school bullshyt????
Ain’t NOBODY original as far as dancin’ in videos nowadays. It’s all a variation on the same theme over and over again.
Go get some culture and see a damn Alvin Ailey show for fuks sake and then maybe you’ll be able to tell the difference between a TRAINED dancer and an untrained street dancer who’s just good at picking up the choreographer’s moves.
Sorry for the rant, but damn…….And WELCOME BACK MYA. MISSED YO AZZ.

I was going to say the same thing. She’s baaaaaaaaack! LOL! I loved me some Mya back in the day and I still do. She looks absolutely fab-u-lous! (FYI, i know it’s spelled wrong) I must admit, this video was rather low budget. But I can understand her finances may not be up to par right now so she gets a pass. Welcome back Mya! Now she should be the one insuring her legs. Like Weezy say “Mya is fiyah”.

My grl can sing dance shine all that. She’s been around for a minute,so she knows that at this point in time as far as other chicks are concerned she can shut them all down. Mya got her start on BET as a free style dancer so her steps are gonna be tight. Her vocals were always on point. CC’s gonna have to sit her Janet/Michael Jackson wanna bee ass down Cause Mya is Shuttin Shit Down 4 real

And just because Mya is not jumping all over the place shaking her weave don’t make her a good dancer because she is a GOOD ASS DANCER.I hate to compare but her moves are smooth, just like Aaliyah.Of course they had different styles I like them all.Mya is more for the grown up type.Cici provides a pop feel to me.And of course “Take A Picture” was my favorite song from her.Of course all the women are doing their thing and I’m glad to see that happen.

The song is a little dull, but I still kinda like it. Her second single needs to be a banger, though.
As for the comparisons between Mya and Ciara…I prefer Mya. They can both dance hard, but when Mya dances she’s smooth and sexual and doesn’t lose her femininity (that last scene Ciara could have never pulled off).
I like Ciara, but when she dances hard she looks like dude. Like she should be at a step show or something.

I am loving this song, and Lil Wayne always adds that hot sexy touch to every song he is on, but Mya is definately doing her thing, and was doing it before Ciara, and Amerie, She is a great dancer, and singer, I hope she does well !

The video was off the chain, Mya definetly put it down with this song. I liked it, and all you haters need to remember where you came from you know damn well yous all used to look up to Mya. Aaliyah and Mya were the two R&B dance princesses we lost one why are we forgetting the other. Respect her and all she’s done, come on now.
And to Aries #111 Mya is down, it ain’t no front don’t let those innocent looks fool you. Let me guess you think Bey is down though right?(yeah right) she only got with Jay-Z for street cred so she can be down with the streetz. Anyways real recognize real.
And Ciara bit off of Mya she got that song idea “Like A Boy” from Mya her song “Taste This” off Moodring is similar and better.
Oh yeah and stop making it sound like Mya don’t shine like that and isn’t talented it’s just that in the music industry to be at the top you basically have to be a lying, cheating, deceiving backstabber to shine like that and thats not her she’s a natural not fake like some people.

Thursday, April 26, 2007 /
I LOVE MYA!!!!
That’s my girl!!! @ 17,18, 73, and 74 — THANK YOU!!
I just wish that Mya would work with some producers that would give her songs more EDGE, like her first hit ‘All About me’ or ‘Best of Me’. She needs that to sell. Hertrue fans might buy her album anyway, b/c we can appreciate it. But if she wants to make teh sales that will give her teh paper she deserves seh has to change her style a little bit, and tap that POP market. And while I like it, songs liek this won’t cut it. They have to be catchy, not soft. I hope she comes with it for teh album, b/c she deserevs it.
By-the-way — Please don’t compare Mya to Ciara, they’re worlds apart. Mya is very unique, and she knows who she is. While I like Ciara, she is still pulling her pieces together.

This is sad Cause I used to really love me some mya (all about me, Movin on, Fallen, Free) but this song seems second rate. Its sooo lame to be usin them Asian beats nowadays, it should have been left alone after christina millian and ja rule used them to death. About the video….it seems too dark for a spring release, and parts reminded me of Ciara for real (that suspender fit looks just like the one ciara wore on david letterman). Plus the dancing in the second scene had ciara written all over it.
Now I know mya is probably the better and more versatile dancer, but somehow it doesnt pack the same punch as ciara. And I agree that Ciara is for the kids and Mya is for the adults, but we all know ciara will outshine Mya when it comes to success.
138.
true
Thursday, April 26, 2007 /
mya’s the vet ad CIARA should respect that. but we all know CIARA would smash mya in a dance competition.
i think people root for the underdog so they’re trying to bring ci down by bigging up mya. the girl can def move better than most (ie beyonce rhianna cassie) but she ain’t messin with ci. sorry
139.

Mya is a way better dancer than ciara,all ciara does is do the same ol moves,mya is more versatile she can dance different ways all ciara can dance is street-like and mya just looks better dancing and plus she’s shorter.Ciara looks too big and manly all you see is a big amazon movin with some hair hangin.I’m glad mya’s back and this summer go be her summer,still mad at the fact that she wasn’t named one of bet’s top 25 dancers of all time,I mean seriously the girl can dance I’m still thinkin about the time when she did janet’s pleasure principle rendition at that MTV’s icon show dedicated to Janet about 4 or 5 years ago,and her dancing in her “like whoa and the best of me video,man Ciara don’t even compare to that,she got along way to go to get on Mya’s level.

I like Mya, really I do. But I’m feelin what 39 said:
39. B-Dub said:
yawn….this song is just average. i like mya, but her career is at a point where she is in desperate need of a smash hit.
all she ever comes out with are these type of average tracks, that are very forgettable. which is exactly why she never sells any records any more.
————————————————
This is soooooo true!!!! The track is so extra ordinary. It’s just plain. I don’t like the look she’s giving us either. I like her hair towards the end, but Mya needs to change the look. Dye the hair, cut it…do something different!!!! She’s a great dancer and sexy, but this is not the hit for her.

Rihanna is not copying Beyonce’ you have to blam the stylist and the make-up artist, also the person who wrote that song. All Rihanna does is sing the song she dont do much of anything else hell she didnt even [ut together her own dance moves. maybe she’s using the same coach as B uses.

i do think that song with jay z she did was a classic though. but as it goes her 1,2 step got nothign on ciara. there learning choreograhpy and then there’s adding that ‘x’ factor to your dance moves. she doesn’t have the ‘x’ factor. that’s why AALIYAH was always hotter and CIARA will always be hotter.
noone’s touching CI on he dance floor. that’s like saying chris brown is better than michael. both good but one has the ‘x’ factor. HINT, mya’s no michael.
END OF DISCUSSION

I have nothing against Mya, but that shit was boring and wack as hell. Mya actually looked like a new young singer doing her first video. That’s exactly why Mya is not a star, she has no star power whatsoever! I don’t think her vocals are bad at all, this song doesn’t showcase them, but she can blow on some of her leaked slow jams. Whoever said Mya is better than Ciara needs to sit their dumbass down. Yeah right, Mya may be a trained dancer, but her moves don’t stand out. Her and Ciara are nothing alike and shouldn’t be compared by immature fans of hers who want her to succeed this time around.
Anyways, I will say Mya dances better and sings better than Rihanna. She also has much more class.
149.

MYA CAN DEFINATELY DANCE BETTER THAN BEYONCE. I HOPE JAY TO TRADE IN HIS HONDA.
FUNNY I NEVER TRY TO REENACT A MYA MOVE LIKE A I DID JANET WITH THE CHAIR OR CIARA WITH THE BACKBEND, 1,2 STEP OR CRAWL WALK; OR BEYONCE WITH THE UH OH.

Since I love my dancing and women who can dance, I must chime in.
I love Mya and Ciara. Mya is more versatile considering her training. However, I will have to say I prefer Ciara’s moves– it’s something about the way she delivers the goods that looks effortlessly stunning.
She has a way that she transitions from one move to another that is flawless, rough and angelic at the same time.
This song by Mya I am not crazy about. Considering song, video and moves I would have to say this is not on Promise’s level. Also, it is hard to see all of her moves because of the camera work. Mya is a phenomenal dancer– but my heart has to go with Ciara as she is one who inspires me to dance and elevate myself.
Sidenote: people on her are quick to point out that someone is better at something because the received professional training. Training does not necessarily mean anything. Rat talent, generally, can get you a long way. Mya happens to be trained and have raw talent so I will let it slide. However, do not tell me Diddy can dance because he started out doing tap– that is ludicrous. Same for Beyonce’s voice- I do not care if she had lessons. You either have it or you don’t.
