I like the fact that CiCi is branching out and directing. In the industry right now you gotta be multi-faceted to survive. I haven’t heard the song yet, but I’ll check it out in a minute. The girl is pretty though!!!

I love Ci Ci. She ain’t the best vocalist in the world. But she is def one of the best enterainers of our times. Many complain and wonder why she got a deal. However one must remember that she is a package. She sings(if u want to call it that lol), acts, dances her ass off, writes and directs.
DO YOUR THANG CIARA. MAN I CAN WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO. ANYTHING CI CI DOES I LOVE!

Ciara does make gooooooooooooooood videos wat u talkin bout homie and also I thought she directed Promise Ring 4 Tiffany Evans but she put in “a lot” of ideas 4 it I thought it would be obvious 4 Tiffany 2 win butn I guess ppl aint vote 4 her tht much so wat ev Tiffany was the better singer out of the other 2 girls anyways but they all good but I would buy Tiffany’s album be4 even think bout buyin theirs but I wud download Tiffanys and not their’s matter fact LOLZ but yea I lik Tiffany Evans cuz she’s my age and holdin it down 4 the “REAL” young ppl

SMH, why am I not surprised some bodies would have something negative to say that has nothing to do with the topic.
Paula is very talented. I’m anticipating her new album. She been grinding for a long time. I like some of the songs I’ve heard thus far. She is working that blue dress.
I’m happy for Ciara. Despite the constant hate, she continues to rise. I like her hair color in those pictures, it compliments her skin tone very well.
I also thought she directed Tiffany’s video too. Anywho…. Looking forwards to seeing her “directing” skills.
P.S. Ciara did NOT write Alicia’s ‘Fallen’. But she has written for Blu, Fantasia, and Mya.

i’m so proud of this chick. while others pose in california and pull crazy stunts or multiple rereleases or pay to be hot ’sexy girl’ top 100 list, ciara stays on her grind whether you report it or not and not pressed to be in cross over magazines. they come looking for her because they hear the buzz.
GET IT CICI

Dammit another chance for me to finally direct a video and it slips from beneath me…
They both look good..looks like Ciara wanted to be light brown on the first album and black on the second and probably a mix of the two on the third….wow…. watch out she’ll be blond soon…

Alright just watched the video. The song reminds me of some 90s Sunshine Anderson or something…it’s nice very cliche but she made the track with her voice. Ima need another song but I can see myself getting into her….I still have to see though.

Does anybody realize that when you say “Ain’t nobody stupid” you are actually saying someone is stupid. I believe it is called a double negative.

I always said this is what I think will always seperate Ciara from the Beyonce’s and Rihanna’s go out side THE BOX and do something different…I know this is still part of doing something in the music field, but it is also using your BRAINS, showing you do have talent somewhers else. I’m glad to see she is helping these young girls out..(YOU GET TWO KUDOS, KUDOS FROM ME.
I’m also waiting to see her in Mama I Wanted To Sing!!
CIARA..NOW GET YOU ASS IN COLLEGE AND GET DEGREE!!!!

I haven’t watched the video yet but Paula Campbell is so pretty and can actually sing. Ciara, she’s very boring and fell off. Why are you directing so soon in the game? I think she should focus more on her career and then years later start directing. It’s good that she’s working behind the scenes and directing music videos but that Evolution album didn’t as well as expected.

@ PUNTO…you are correct, I did hear on the radio that Ciara album did well and is still selling..I know my friend just brought it because she likes the song with 50 cent and Ciara.. and also we just heard That’s Right in the club and it was banging….
Ciara album was released in December (I think) and she is still coming out with videos and releasing new songs…Rihanna’s album was just released last month (not sure) but she has already released 4 songs off the album and three viedos….
@LUVS2SPEAKHERMIND..Ass hole that is part of her career..why not start young and get a good jump in the game.
A SMART PERSON HAS SEVERAL CAREERS UNDER THEIR BELT..NOT JUST ONE…..

good 4 Cici. Adding another notch under ur belt is NEVER a bad thing. I mean damn, she can’t sing 4ever *well she but u what i mean*. Her crunk R&B music will only last for so long. So why not get ur producing chops up????
I’m even starting to feel that Tiff Evans vid (i wasn’t 2 crazy about it). But i did get tired of ppl asking me if Cici was her sister or something…lol

How come everyone keep saying Paula Campbell is new? Is this a different Paula Campbell than the one from Baltimore, who had a semi-hit song like 4 years ago? She aint new and she couldn’t sing the first time around and cant sing now. Those Shoe City commercials still run “Shoe City, Your city, My City,Its Shoe City” I mean come on.

@ # 9, she should consider a career as a wide receiver, she’d make great catches.
