It seems as though Ciara’s new album, Fantasy Ride which has changed release dates so many times that I haven’t been able to keep up, is going to be up for being shelved by Jive Records. The album was again slated for release for Spring 2009 (with no tentative release date!), even with Ciara’s new video for the first single, “Go Girl!” being out already and more than several tracks leaking.
But sources have been saying that the album may not even see the light of day. With pending lawsuits, multiple tracks leaking and a single that is tanking, even with high-profile features like T-Pain and the awesome Melina-directed video, it seems as though Fantasy Ride, originally Ciara’s first concept album, has run into a lot of problems. It’s been rumored that the whole project is to be scrapped and that Ciara will head back into the studio to work on a completely new package.
Seems like a headache, and a lot of money going down the tube…
CHRIS BROWN TALKS NEW ALBUM
Chris Brown began talking about his new album and revealed that the title of his third studio album will be, Graffiti.
The “Forever” singer says Madonna and Coldplay are on his short list of dream collaborations for his new LP, the follow-up to 2007’s Exclusive, due out next year.
Speaking from the red carpet at the American Music Awards, the platinum-selling R&B star said:
“It’s going to be my stepping stone from Chris Brown to superstar.”
I’m interested to see what producers Chris Brown is going to collaborate with this time around. Even though I thought that Exclusive was cool for his second effort, production-wise, Chris was a little all over the place. I hope this time the sound for the album is a little more focused.
AUBREY O’DAY PREPS ALBUM?
Aubrey O’Day, formerly of MTV’s Making the Band and Danity Kane fame chatted it up at a night club in Miami recently about what she’s been up to and revealed that she is working on a solo album, as well as in talks about doing another reality TV show.
I really wish the girls could just get it together. More recently, Shannon, Dawn and Aundrea have been making appearances as a threesome, and apparently, the performed some club dates as a trio as well. Danity Kane, honestly, is not the same without D. Woods and Aubrey. I really wish they could just get it together and be a group again.
In another news, it’s been confirmed the Miss O’Day has also posed nude for Playboy Magazine.















iM READY FAH CHRiS NEW ALBUM
Well, I hope it all works out for Ciara. I heard she’s been screwing over the people that’s been there for her from the beginning. I say she get it all together and come back harder than “Go Girl”.
I am curious to hear Chris Brown’s new sound and concept that he is coming up with…
And Kudos to Aubrey. I have no hate towards hear. Keep following your dream no matter what girl!
Well, Cici can start fresh with a new direction and hopefully come back stronger. This is really no big deal.
I like CiCi’s cover.. wonder whether chris b will think about goin from chris b the kid to chris be the man before he hits superstar..
lol
OMG!! I really want to hear Ciara’s album. But I think the time till next year will give her the opportunity to get more great tracks rather than the lukewarm songs she’s put out.
I also can’t wait for Aubrey’s album! I Will definitely support her, I always knew she would eventually go solo. She was the only member of Danity Kane that possessed star quality.
Chris Brown just needs to wait another year before he even thinks about making another album. His last album really made me question whether or not he can sing.
Chris Brown’s songs are still on the radio. Why is he trying to make another album so soon? They just rereleased it a couple of months ago with that song Forever?
Aubry O’Day, Playboy? thats a good look, anyway, yeah, DK’s nothing w/o “Ebony & Ivory”, cause we all know the rest of them broads are BORING AS HELL!!!!
Ciara basically whole album has been leaked…I think it would be good for her to start new, I wish her much success
Poor Ciara! I told you that dancing doesn’t make you an all around ENTERTAINER!BTW, what size shoes does this chic wear again?! Just saying???? I like the pic though!
Go Bey!
I feel bad for cici she is a nice girl and a great dancer. This recession is going to affect many artist only the strong will be able to survive. As for chris I can wait not a big fan of his music but he is a great dancer.
I think Cici could have still pulled singles from evolution.. That was a bad cd.. As far as fantasy ride, she needs to get it together, it feels like she’s going back to goodies, when she needs to stay in the evolution area..
Chris Browm..NEXT.. His second cd was sooo wack , he showed absoutly no growth. He cannot sing worht a lick.. He’s just not a worthy singer to me..
Aubrey is coo, I too wish DK could get it together, aubrey and D.woods just fit..
im curious to hear the coldplay and madonna features.. (if it happens) I LOVEEEE THEMMM
i wasnt to much into the exclusive album tho…
hope everything works out for ci ci.. she betta get in where she fit because its bey time right now and yall know whos time it is again..
my girl rhi rhi.
LOL
i love this healthy competition they got going on..
I guess dancing can’t save a career. what you need is good music. Ciara cannot chose good music. she need Rhianna’s 6 sense who can smell a hit from a mile away. the first time she heard umbrella & disturbia she knows that these songs were hit records.
CIARAS FOOT LOOKS HUGE.
Super C
I guess your not so SUPER after all…
girl your fantasy ride got stopped before it even got started …ROFLMAO… so now your gonna join the likes of keri hilson and the push back Queens..lol so I hope you stop doin shows where u crawling and rollin all over the place..and get off that fantasy ride and come back down to earth lol..
the problem with ciara is that she cant sing! and be able to dance aint gonna change that
chris i love u to death but all ur videos after kiss kiss have sucked
and hes been sounding more pop than r&b lately i hope he changes that
I just feel like the whole ‘concept album’ thing is such a gimmick so i’m happy that Cici and nem are considering starting over-nothing beats a regula GOOD album imo. Good for Chris, these youngsters are really about not being pigeonholed and i’m not mad at them-him, rihanna and ne-yo cross over well. No comment on AO
smfh @ aubrey.
fame really does change you.
KERI HILSON,NICOLE SCHERZINGER,and now THE QUEEN OF CRUNK LOL THESE PUSH BACK QUEENS SHOULD JUST QUIT…MUSIC ISNT SELLING LIKE IT USED TO, BEYONCE ONLY SOLD 400K +….no label will trust ciara to get money….. she’s nothing and she’s not talented..
Sasha Fierce would never have to worry about her album being pushed back or shelved…. Im just saying.
We knew it would end for Ciara eventually but who knew it would be this soon?
If CiCI has no talent neither does RIRI! RIRI is the new it girl…and I wish her continued success! Oh did you read onYBF about the pulicist that started the rumor about JAY and RIRI messing around to get her more attention…basically to become who she is today! I guess they tried to do the same thing with CICI and 50 Cent but it had the adverse affect! CICI was the it girl two years ago…now it is RIRI turn! I wonder who will be the next it girl…because we all know BEY moved pass being the it girl onto being an ICON!
@ MissT the publicity may get you attention but its like affirmative action it may get you into college ,but if you don’t keep up your grades you’re out.
I never liked any of her leaked tracks anyway and none of them have even touched the charts on a level worth talking about so its a good thing if her label is thinking about starting from scratch. I just want to know….if the formula with her and Jazze Pha was working so well in the beginning then why did they change it up? I still listen to her first album….the second one was ok.
Why am I NOT surprised that Aubrey posed for playboy. She always seemed like the one who watned to do more and be seen more as “a person” rather than a group. There is a lane open for her on the pop scene right now. So she might do well solo.
I love aubrey and Chris. I wish them both success.
Oh god Rihanna then talked Chris Brown into going more pop/rock! I hope he still got some R&B flava in him!
AUBREY, She honestly needs to stop!! She ruined herself.
CIARA, wow I was exited to buy her album.
I know Ciara can come back w/ banger hits. Yes 08 has been a hard year. I think stepping back regrouping, yes letting go of things that are not making you progress. If that is people or our own behaviors. I wish her much success. Love you Ci Ci
Wonder what the sound for the new Chris Brown album will be, looking forward to it.
Aubrey is such a pretty girl, hopefully she’ll realize she has more then her body to sell. And yes the ladies should be back together, so they can sell us some more albums.
@Malolm I agree…but we also know that you only for the most part need a 2.0 to remain in college! So basicly the 2.0 will only get you to mediocre status! We all know college grads that barely made the grade,,,and their are entertainers that are doing the same…but because the industry picks who they want to fill that “IT” postion …some consumers actually became convinced that the new “IT” person actually has true talent…when they only have a mediocre quality that is marketed as being something special…such as fashion, body image, dance, sex ect.
Error: there not their
i hope chris doesn’t try to bey like his boo and sell out to a full alternative sound!
Ciara..good luck baby..SMH!
Chris..i don;t really care for him anymore..but i will PROBABLY listen to the album on youtube..
Aubrey..GOOD LUCK..LMAO
nobody is checking for chris brown like that anymore, rihanna fans vote for him to win awards, but i don’t think they will buy his album. and he lost damn near all his fans, he’s not needed. oh and ciara is a lame
Ciara’s whole album leaked that’s why she’s recording a whole new project..
It happened with Usher’s album and he came back even harder with 8701.
Now Keri Hilson has had pushbacks. She was supposed to come out last year and she STILL HAS NO RELEASE DATE.
Talk about that Brian!!!! You’re such a hater.
Oh wait a minute how many high budget videos has Keri released ?
Return the favour with Timbaland : FLOP!!
That autotune song with Lil Wayne and Polow : FLOP
Energy : ANOTHER FLOP!!
Song with Kardinall Offishall : FLOP!!! He should have kept Rihanna on the original
Superhuman with Chris Brown : FLOP!!
Not even counting the numerous cames she does as an overpriced video chick.
All this exposure and still NO RELEASE DATE BRIAN!!!
She can’t write a hit for herself or anyone else right now.
Hating on Ciara is not going to make Keri a star Brian!!
Get it together!
You can buy Ciara’s shoes at Forever21.com They also come in pink, if anyones
interested. Just thought I’d share! LOL!
Actually Sasha (Beyonce) is getting tired too. She should have put that album on the shelf as far as I’m concerned.
LMAO @ Brian saying “ciara’s album is not gonna see the light of day” Brian your a mess, lol. I suppose dancing will only get you so far in life, but i gues ci can dust herself off and try agian.
don’t worry ciara! This happened for a reason and you’re still an amazing artist…
sorry this is all happening during B season… she stole,maybe inadvertently, everyone’s shine, even her sister’s…
How does beyonce steal anyones shine, if you truly have talent you should b able to shine no matter who’s out
look @ rihanna altho eversince sasha’s made her return rihanna has been nose diving no ones check for rehab the 100th single from GGGB, her ama and fashion rocks performance were both bad reviewd and virtually ignored
altho ALL critcs hav said bey had the best performance @ the ama’s (I GOT LINKS DONT TST ME) and fashion rocks, while bee is sitting with the #1 Album in the country and #2 and #3 singles on Hot 100
It truly is Bey season hahaha
also ciara wasnt beinging it this go round thats all that it her ish wasnt hot
Why do people have to bring up Beyonce in a post when its not even about her? I am sorry but she is not paying none of yall bills. Get a life! That is messed up about Ciara. I really didn’t like Go Girl until I saw the video. I can’t wait for the new Chris Brown album. I am glad Aburey is doing her thing. Forget Diddy!
Oh and Brian you are doing a terrible job as an UNPAID online Keri Hilson street teamer.
Make more posts about her non-existant hit singles and less I-hate-Ciara posts!
Maybe more people would buy her flop singles.
LOL @#40, yes Brian you have been slacking with Keri lol, ur going to get fired as her free of charge publicist
As for Ciara, if I was her I would be pissed off and taking names. Her album had a great idea behind it, everyone let her down. If it wasnt for the market being completely saturated this quarter she would have had a chance. It seems like every artist is in rush to drop half assed albums before the end of the year. Hopefully she comes back stronger.
#33 I agree with you nothing I heard from Keri was a hit.. She put soo much energy into that mess of singles she came out with.
I hope that Ciara does come back hard people like to get caught up in others who they say can’t sing but I like Ciara’s music when it is backed by a good dance bit. I loved Promise..But that was my one and only fav from her cd. Whoever said Ciara is nothing is wrong for that. She must have more talent than you since you are stuck here passing judgment on her. Beyonce is no ICON just because she said it either.
Chris Brown I like what both he and his Boo are doing with their music. Both of them are branching out trying new sounds I like that.. Music is not what it use to be. I’m 28 and I grew up listening to Gladys, Patti, MJB, Shai, SWV, Jade, BBD, The Boys, Jodeci, Ideal I mean I could go on and on with artist of the 90′s who could sing but music is changing and evolving. Chris Brown I think is trying to crossover so he is going to do whatever it takes to get him there.
I agree with Kanye as long as its a competition between artist they should all challenge each other. I think the fans take it to another level though. The fans take it to a Biggie and Pac level the way people go back in forth myself included sometimes. There is room for everyone.
Also, I see my girls AK and MJB must have some really good fans because they constantly pull 700K plus first week numbers. Go ladies. I like that they do it without a whole lot of promotion too. No smoke and mirrors.
Aubrey I think those Flashing Lights got the best of her.
Im telling you artists are fallin and selling now is hard! she is going to sell 500,000 for her album and less than 100,000 the first week, I feel bad for Ciara, if artists didnt have the opportunity to have money befre, now its over in this era. Ciara’s single is not doing good at all and its the wrong song for a first single. All I can say is, COME BACK JANET TRY AGAIN!!! LMAO
Aubrey sit your ass down somewhere in the desert
Chris Breezy, young talent, I like, the album better be the bomb and I hope he grows.
I really hope Ciara gets back on track. I didn’t hear much about her new album and I def. didn’t hear any “leaked” songs (excluding the ones that were supposed to be singles). If she does have to go back and start over, I hope she just sees this as an experience to learn from and not let it get her down. Good luck!
Oh and in terms of O’Day, I don’t know her personally BUT from how she’s displayed herself thru the media… I have no respect for her. I could really care less what she does until she gets her sh*t together. See children… acting like a stereotypical oreo (who takes the NEGATIVE stereotypes to imitate another ethnic group) stank gets you no where. Learn from this…. and don’t let it be you!
I dont know why everybody in here is hating on Keri Hilson at least she can sing
Just because you can sing don’t mean you can make it. There’s alot of people who can’t sing but people have their different views on that anyway.
that doesn’t even look like ciara… and i’m wasn’t that excited about her album anyway
i’m looking forward to hearing new material from chris.
aubrey. what more is there to say? lol. she’s definitely made to be in the spotlight. she wouldn’t have it any other way!
CHRIS BROWN NEED TO SIT HIS ASS DOWN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HE IS SO OVER-RATED, AND MAN I HOPE SUPER C GET HER SHIT TO GETHER!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER ..AUBREY DO WHAT U DO REMEMBER DIVA IS THE FEMALE VERSION OF A HUSTLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
myspace.com/sirkassidy
I liked some of the songs from ciara’s album, hopefully she’ll catch a lucky break next year. I’m not gonna write her off just because of one set back or keri hilson for that matter.
look forward to c.breezy album, i like most of his songs and he’s a great performer.
Madonna and Colplay are some of my fave artists so if he makes it happen, i’ll b anticipating it.
I personally like it when artists sometimes take a different tack.Everyone was saying for e.g. that Kanye sould stop singin and the current album is goin to b bad but the first two singles did extremely well going top five on the first week and selling he’s gained new fans and the album is currently no.1 on itunes even if some hve deserted him because he’s not making the bangers but something thats personal to him. Then if the music is really similar all the time, then ppl complain that they should ‘swtich it up’ and that they should ‘sit down’. smh
Ciara starting fresh sounds like a good idea. All of the songs “leaked” as well as ‘Go Girl’ have been weak or just okay.
Chris Brown is trying to keep up with Rhianna. I miss rnb music, and he seems to be going for the pop crowd. Not interested. I can’t wait for Ginuwine to release his new album.
I don’t know what happened to Aubrey but she let herself go. She got caught up in the Hollywood lifestyle, hanging out with socialites in Hollywood that used her for her fame, and hasn’t been the same since. I don’t believet the group broke up; I believe it’s all for publicity and to set up the next season of the show.
Ciara problem is to pick the right singles, her ass is as talentless as rihanna’s, they both cant sing sh!t and theyre performances are weak but rihanna knows how to pick singles and have a stylist to make her look interesting, Ciara needs to learn that. Slow down with the crunk music and go explore other genres, pop, r and b… at least you can dance so give a try! Everybody is not beyonce, coming in october and having a number one album and two songs in the top 3 of BB HOT 100 in november.
@33 & 40 you mad? dont tell me you didnt expect it? I mean, she aint doing shit now, no promo, no sells, songs leaked, many push backs I mean, please, dont get mad at Brian or Keri if your go girl is not hot now, at least Keri doesnt look like a skinny man, can sing and write and got 3 videos out, go buy her material and support, it must suck to be a Ciara fan right now huh? the only thing you’re rpoud of is the video reaching the top spot on BET’s 106&Park LMAO! I like her new songs if it was only me, she didnt enter in the hot 100; solution, I thought it was a wrap for her but bring old ass Janet back, Ciara’s inspiration (both dance and whisper so…) no more competitor, find her a new deal with a label and let her make a song on her chinese persuasion again SMH
@15 Brandyforever
Dont get too full of yourself, youll wont see anything when Brandy will push back hers. Her First single is also a flop. Second single wont do her any justice, another flop. Her album if she is not smart enough to push back will be erased by Britney’s watch.
For both, Im just sayin’ truth hurts I know.
Chris Brown and Aubrey, GO SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN SOMEWHERE IN ALASKA.
sorry for the typing lol
and go girl how do you know he is unpaid? CL get that ass banned of here! he is doing his job, GO BRIAN!!!
Now I know niccas will be mad at me for saying this, but has she got a case of Beyonceitis? Again?
CiCi has got the talent to become the next It girl, if only she could settle on a sound and image… she switches from Queen of Crunk to Janet 2.0 in a heartbeat and back again and I can’t help but feel she is just all over the place
She needs the RiRi treatment. Rumors + Hot Stylist + Hot Producers + Hot Videos + ???? = Profit! Bottom line: CiCi you need new people!
Ciara doing Kerri?
I like Ciara I hope she gets her stuff together because I expect great things from her!
Chris Brown needs to transition from child status to Adult status so he get true longevity!
Aubrey O’day always had the most star quality of that group but she doesnt use it to the best of her ability! Stop being trashy!
It was revealed that Aubrey and Diddy hung out at the Victoria’s Secret show…I knew the group breaking up was just a business move. And now MTV will give her her own show and Diddy’s show can be revamped for fans.
Ciara…..
………………………….
Chris Brown is going to be going on to superstar, huh? Everybody wants something they don’t deserve,I guess. He sounds like a kid…But maybe other kid stars have been famous…it’s just that he won’t be a teen in a few months! And his music is slated to get more mainstream, I’ll break that now…he’s merely going to copy gf Rihanna.
#53
Beyonce has taken a slow, slow and painful climb to those slots…a #1 couldn’t push her over the top as it did with TI, Rihanna and Britney…and she’s only so high now because nothing new has surfaced from major stars… Pink’s “Sober” will overtake either song, if they rise to #1 past TI’s song. And that’s a fact.
