MAG COVERS: CIARA GOES NUDE FOR VIBE MAGAZINE
Thursday, September 4, 2008

Ciara poses nude for the October 2008 issue of Vibe magazine. The issue not only includes a nude cover, but a nude spread inside as well…looks like the singer is baring all with the upcoming album she has in store for us.
In related news, Vibe magazine has been catching blows after Robin Thicke let out to Billboard magazine that Vibe told him “they don’t have white artists on the cover”, in response to why he couldn’t get the cover of this issue. They must have forgotten to mention that they rather put out Ciara naked, but they also released a statement responding to him.

something about this is too much…methinks it’s the squatting pose that puts it over the edge. i have never seen such a flagrantly pornographic cover. looks like her “goodies” are on parade and quite frankly the pic looks like it should be on the INSIDE of playboy magazine.
i’m not against showing skin, but this went too far. IMO.

I feel sad for her…I really do. The entertainment industry is fickle and sometimes ppl resort to things that they really didn’t have to. The same as the office environment with the snitches, ass kissers,back stabbers, and sabotagers. Ppl desperate for a dollar when all they had to do was just stay tru to who they were and keep some ounce of integrity becuz u still goin to get paid and promoted anyway. I don’t know if she did it to sell more albums but I really can’t think of any reason to go nude on a magazine except to stay relevant. I guess she want to get a more male fanbase. Oh well, if she like it I love it but there goes her youth advocacy speech…

Also I would like to add that the black community need to stop settling for explicit magazine covers that’s accessible to our kids. Vibe is a magazine that caters to teenagers too and we have to do better at censoring shit. You don’t see those white magazines with Britney spears ass or Miley Cirus ass exposed. Any naked pics u see of them are on youtube or some shit like that but they are not filtering that shit in their communities on magazine covers by the boat load. Yeah u may catch a cover every three years with a nude white chick on it but not every three months.
We have to stop contributing to the devil’s plan to keep us oversexed, overdrugged, and uneducated. Vibe is not an adult magazine that kids have to show ID in order to buy. This shit is accessible on the magazine stands and I’m tired of our children being beaten over the head with this filth and then we turn around telling them to stay virgins and don’t do drugs when majority of the media outlets advertised in our communities (yes surburbia too) perpetuate it. Yes it starts at home but damn help the parents out too. They make sure that Miley’s nude ass isn’t on People Magazine and Ciara nude ass should’nt be on Vibes. Our kids development matter just as much as theirs. No wonder the gov’t can get over on us so much. We damn there accept any damn thing. And this isn’t hate, this is being real. All the women (and men) itchin to show their nude ass to the world stop selling urself short and put ur ass on Playboy, King, or some other adult magazine and stop with carrying out the plans to corrupt of our children minds and impression of image. Vibe stop trying to be like King, u will never be King. It seems like Vibe is the one that’s desperate, not Ciara

I don’t know what she was thinking. If she wanted to get people talking about her then she succeeded but blog talk does not pay the bills. The people who these photos appeal to are men and most men are not going to buy her album.
I agree with most of the comments these photos are tasteless.
@ the others who claim Rihanna posed nude, Rihanna has not posed nude those pictures were photoshopped.

LOL it was only a matter of time. Lack of attention and spotlight tend to heed this…she better never talk mess about anyone who might’ve been on Flavor of Love because she’s right in that category with them now.

I hate Vibe..the magazine has been WACK since 1998 (they will never match Source)…and they are just trying to swagger jack King Magazine. The writers for Vibe are straight wack now..they used to be great…Vibe has fallen off since 2000…they try so hard to hipster.
Just like a I lost a litle respect of Toni Braxton when she posed nude, i have lost of little respect of Ciara. This is tasteless and spell D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-I-O-N. this broad is only doing this cover because she is going to release her album the same day as Beyonce. Ciara is going to get washed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

i dont understand why she went nude….like seriously im dissapointed in her…she knows she has alot of female fans especially young girls that look up to her as one of the few woman in the industry that holds themselves to a high standard and respects herself and Ciara even preaches that to young girls all over the world and you get on the cover of vibe magazine naked looking like one of those slutty ass girls on the cover of the other magazines with their ass out!!!! Like come on ciara get it together im seriously dissapointed in her

this coulda came out nice, but ehy took some really bad angles, and ciara shoulda changed it up much differently than this…all rihanna did was change her hairstyle; which means yes it can be that simple! sheeesh ciara

I’m disappointed that she resorted to this. It was slutty enough when she was half naked with 50 cent in the Can’t Leave Him Alone video. Now this. SMH. There is a difference between tasteful and sleazy. She didn’t accomplish tasteful in that video or these pictures. I don’t see an artistic approach to these pictures at all. I hope she doesn’t keep being over sexualized like this. Going to this extreme is making her look like she’s desperate for attention. She needs to release quality music and let that be the platform for the hype of her new album. Not crap like this.

I haven’t liked Ciara since 2004 so I’m like. . .[crickets chirp] in regards to this cover. What was the motive behind this, really? I’m not sure what VIBE was trying to do, but she could’ve took this shit over to King (Magazine) and done more with it. The pose is awkward, the whole thing is just awkward. I vote no. SMH

Wow this just kind of looks obscene b/c you can see her ass and everything… a little much for a cover. Even smut magazines don’t even go this far. Sorry but I lost respect for Cici…. she’s supposed to be a pop star not a whore… my kids listen to her music and love her now I gotta explain to them why she’s butt naked on the cover of this magazine like a skank.

Why? You don’t see any brothers taking off all their clothes to pose naked on a cover, have more respect for yourself than that. That is not gonna help you sell more music.

Why would she feel the need to put out a SEMI-NUDE spread, is beyond me, because she really didn’t have to go there…
But hey, whatever floats her boat.

For everyone saying that BLACK WOMEN ARE ON HERE HATING ON ONE ANOTHER…I don’t think it has anything to do with hating, it has to do with respect and tastefulness. To me, the cover is not artistic, it is trashy (take it as a judgment if you’d like). I feel like we, women, not just black women, need to respect ourselves more and going nude diminishes our worth and takes away from our abilities. While i am aware that SEX sells, so does talent and now the focus is not on her talent, but on her nakedness. It also has nothing to do with the fact that it is Ciara, so it is not a direct attack, it’s the fact that she is a young, talented, black woman who has, like so many others, SOLD OUT…Naked and sexy are not synonyms. We can be sexy without taking it all off. So to comment numbers 147 and 149, it’s not black women hating on black women, it’s black women taking a stand and saying enough is enough. Regardless of what we say, she’s going to do her, so that’s not the issue. I just wish that we stood our grounds more and got ahead because of our talent and gifts.
Y’all be good!!!

I wouldn’t spend a dime for this controversial crap but Ciara is a beautiful grown woman. But she should not pose nude to make money for this kind of music
business because that doesn’t show her other fans some respect so Ciara, I love
you and your music but you have to stop being a showoff!

put robin thicke on the cover–everyone knows discrimination comes in many colors
i don’ t even read the magazine, i just love robin; his lyrics speak to you, he is very
talented as well as easy on the eyes besides holding a marraige to a very beau-
tiful sister! i hope this poor decision (made by vibe) was the act of only 1 vengeful
person and not a collective roomful of people; with decisions like these vibe might
not be around too long

so so what
Saturday, September 27, 2008 /
well when i first saw this i was a bit shocked because i was not ready for that, i guess thats one of the reasons she did it. honestly it is all about how a particular person perceive nudity, for some its down right unnecessary and to others its a beauty within it. i’m note sure this had anything to do with her sales in music, i believe its a statement that she’s trying to make whether you get it or not. we don’t need to bring up other artist and what they’ve done that might be risky because this is not about them its about ciara. she is no longer a teen, she is a grown woman that is taking chances whether good or bad, no longer worried about what people will think or say if i do this or if i say that. yeah i am one that does believe that images can have an affect on a teenager that may not get guidance of right and wrong in the home, so its hard to separate an artist that is doing what they feel is apart of their artistry or to be a role model for the world. last but not least you don’t have to be naked to sell sex!!

Im a Ciara fan and I really think this was the wrong move for her!!! She falled to realize she has a fan base of young girls. This was just not good for her image in my eyes.. I understand that she wants to show her “grown and sexxy” side, but come on CiCi i think u couldve done this another way.
