Ci looks great. I like this look for her, it just works! And the award was for career achievment and giving back like concreteloop stated, their are even more pictures on getty. She’s always giving back to everyone, not just Atlanta.

As much as I love me some CiCi I wonder the same thing. She looks nice but the lip stick is too much. Women of the year could have went to Rihanna and I am not even a huge fa of hers but whatever.

That award should have gone to Rihanna shes had a more successful year.

yep

I like Rhianna and everything but I don’t Billboards Woman of the Year is for having popular songs this year. I think it’s more about women being leaders in the music industry, more about empowering women to take control.

Woman of the Year for “recording artist AND leadership” apparently she was honored and is more deserving this year… Congratulations and continued success….
I don’t like the look but it is different for her so that is a nice change up…

Congratulations to Ciara but I agree with everybody else who said that Rihanna should have gotten this award…Rihanna has been basically sitting at the top of the billboard charts lately.

Y’all make me laugh! these comments are too much! i don’ understand how and why she got this award. also don’t understand how she got a record deal, fans, a manor that weave attached to her sparse hair. But hey…. i don’t claim to know everything.
29.
WTF!!
Saturday, October 25, 2008 /
congrats but serioulsy, her only number one song in the HOT 100 is 1,2 step back in 2004, I mean, on what basis they gave that to her? She looks good though

I’m sorry, luv Cici but did they just need to hand this award out to Someone??? Well that someone should have been Rihanna. What was the standard for this, what has Cici done as of late or are they talking about last year?? I’m confused.
She must be with 50 cause the ish she’s been doing lately Vibe cover, rumors this ish is all fiddish lol It smells like desperation!!

Why must people contine with this negativity about young black female celebrities. RIhanna is doing her thing. So is Beyonce and Jasmine and Keyshia and Ciara.
They are all great role models for black women.
Why bring negativity into it?

Ok, let me clear it up for the dummies. It says the award if for, “a recording artist and leadership in embracing the changing music scene.” Rihanna is sitting on top of the billboard charts, but if u can read that has nothing to do with the award. It has nothing to do with popular music; but, more so being a leader, like working hard, and having inspirational, motivating music. Ciara has done that, if u listen to her music, and she works extra hard. Yall can’t be critics if yall don’t listen to her material, so come correct, before coming at all. Rihanna music is not all that inspirational, and neither is a lot of other artist. That’s why Ciara, not anyone else, received the award. Some of yall need to go back to the early stages of grade school, and learn how to read, and read the context clues, main ideas, and support, cause it’s sitting right there. So haters keep coming strong, Ciara’s coming stronger, she ain’t stoppin her life for no haters, she’s still going full throttle strong. Read, and weep, lmao!!

Woman of the year? What about Oprah or Michelle Obama? Or how about the unknown woman that helps her whole community on a teachers salary? The significance of these awards is lowered when Ciara is named “woman of the year!” That means that the organization believed that there were no other women in the world that contributed more to society. It’s all about politics and who pulls the strings behind the scenes.

#40 thank you. People can’t read. Also, for those of you wondering why she received the award maybe you should come up with an award and give it to whomever you think is deserving. I like both Rihanna and Ciara and others. The award is given by billboard not the people. This is an award that is not about who is sitting at the top that is called the Billboard Awards.

SMH @ 43….
I don’t think Michelle and Oprah could possibly win this because their “songs” haven’t charted at all since their musical careers started. LOL.
ANYWAY, good look Ciara, obviously she won this for a reason and she deserves it.
Happy Birthday!

I think Concreteloop has some of the dumbest posters on the internet.
.
.
.
.
I mean, some of you just look at pictures and pick out words you can understand LOLLL…
.
.
.
.
This is BILLBOARD’S WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD. Obviously you would need to be a singer to win. FURTHERMORE, there are criteria such as leadership, embracing the changing music scene, and other criteria not listed.
,
,
,
,
This is one instance when the word “hater” is appropriate because i still haven’t figured out why Rihanna’s name is in over half of these posts. Even with her “chart topping” success, what has she done that is memorable or even remotely changed the game besides “umbrella”? And rihanna is cool, but some of you are pathetic.
.
.
.
Plus, Ciara has done contests and other motivational things for young women in the community. There has been posts about it on Concreteloop.
.
.
We all love Janet, but she is going though things where she can barely finish her own tour. There is room for EVERYBODY. Ciara has definetly earned her place. GOOD DAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Ciara looks so pretty!!
Billboard recognizes that Ciara is a young exciting entertainer who is a positive role model, who always try to encourage her fans to pursue their goals in life, and not to be discouraged, that they can accomplish many goals if they put their minds to it. She always has a positive message for her fans. Outside of her entertainment venue, she is also a up and coming entreprenuer. She also has been a participant in many charitable events, just to mentiion a few of her accomplishments. Ciara represents herself very well. Go Cici!!

look you igonorant little bastard that crap about ciara bein a man is old news so just kick it with that ish and send it to the left. yeah some of yall really do need to read. its not about who sold the most records or sold the most… like others have said rihanna is only getting noticed by her fourth album? come on down the price is right because i could have sworn ciara was known by the time her first album came out and this is only her 3rd. yeah thank you come again…

Saturday, October 25, 2008 /
I completely agree that some of yall need to get that reading comprehension in check. Ciara is always talking about uplifting others (including helping out tiffany evans, and directing that one chicks video for glamour magazine) and I have yet to see another female artist put herself aside to help up and comers. Plus she does alot of things with her fans (the mcDonalds thing, six flags, etc.) so she is definetly woman of the year material.
And with her new album, I think they are giving her an award right before she blows up because I just heard that song with enrique eglacias and that has international hit written all over it. Anyway Ciara looks real nice…but I wish she would wear her natural curl pattern sometmes. I remember she said she was natural so it would be good to give her hair a break from all the heat and stuff. Plus I think a curly or nappy fro would look good on her.

I agree with number 40, why do people hate on ciara, i mean damn ciara has talent, she can sing, dance, act, dress, great speaker, ciara can pull off the young look, older look, blonde look n etc. the girl has skills. n 4 the rihanna fans it took unmbrella her like 3rd or 4th single to finally get people 2 notice her, if mary j would have took that single then rihanna will have flopped. n e wayz ci ci is on top of her game, can’t wait till the album come out.

WOW! Haters! Its okay Ciara you are doing you and still GETTING BIG AWARDS while on here being low life and typing crap about you! LOL nevermind the haters!!!! Yes Rihanna been killing on charts. Her music is no substance and vocals are okay-whack compared to Beyonce Mariah Celeine Mary Whitney Aretha Jhud Leonas Fantasia Keyshia!
Not knocking her success get it Rihanna!
Ciara with just two albums has DONE way stuff for community and awareness for the world. Hip Hop Summit/Vote encourgament everywhere!/ Giving back to her commmunity etc.! What has been named that Rihanna done all these stuff expect releasing 20 videos and singles. EXACTLY! The award is making change in lives and in music industry. Plus Evolution Ciara has a few inspirational songs. I Found Myself, Im Just Me, Get In Fit In, even her interludes. Just to name a few. So do your research before you talk slick!
GET IT CICI!!! This is just the beginning Ciara is coming back and is on full speed ahead.

lmao @ all the pathetic haters
cry your eyes out because rihanna didnt get this award! please!
rihanna hasnt done SHIT but record a few songs that u dicks just happened to like a bought it…she DOESNT WRITE, PRODUCE, DIRECT, OR EVEN CONTRIBUTE to the shit she does. just a manufactured singer. THATS IT. NEVER HEARD ABOUT HER DOING CHARITY OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIRING PAPS TO TAKE HER PICTURE. that doesnt make u deserve an award people.
and congrats to CIARA who is well rounded in everything that goes on in her career from DAY 1! WROTE MOSTLY IF NOT ALL HER HIT RECORDS…CO PRODUCED RECORDS OF HER LAST ALBUM… and has a resume including director, composer, entrepenuer and a host of charity events.
and also has always had inspiring words to say to her fans.
and lastly
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CIARA!! HOPE YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLE DAY!
AND CONGRATS ON YOUR AWARD!

Yeah Please Rihanna is toping the charts! GO RIHANNA! But far as anything else compared to Ciara Nah! She isnt on her far as making change.
Ciara Directed videos. Co-wrote/Wrote Co-produced/Produced all her music. Has her own dance/talent agency for inspiring dancers/actors/actress. Awareness giving back to her community. Cancer support. Supporting Ludacris Foundation. You name she did almost done it. Her Evoultion Cd has a few inspirational songs. So cop that if you want to know what they are. So stop crying because Rihanna just worried about herself and getting #1 hits with no substance or inspiration. She is like the only artist I know who never made any inspirational songs. Just dance and crying songs. Stop crying STANS and MAN up! Just goes to show you how revelant Ciara is in the game when she just came back a month or less ago. LMAO! Rihanna been here strong since the past two years.
Happy Bday Ci! Today is her bday and Congrats this is a major awards!
