♫ WHO SANG IT BETTER: BEYONCE VS. CIARA
Monday, December 29, 2008

Looks as though Ciara has tried to take a stab at Beyonce’s second single, “Diva,” from her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, which is currently in stores. At first, I couldn’t get through Ciara’s version of the song, but then I just had to take a full listen. The track is produced by Bangladesh, who has worked with Ciara before (on her first album, Goodies, with the track “Hotline”) and is very similar to Lil’ Wayne’s “A Milli,” from his latest album, The Carter III.

Lets be clear I am a huge Beyonce..but Diva is very weak i couldnt believe she put this song out I was so disappointed but Ciara doesnt make it any better..its still weak..Beyonce better step her game up cuz these other female artists r not as far behind as she thinks and with a few good records her spot could easily get replaced.. So as a true fan from the beginning I am beggin u Bey please either step it up and start writin again or step aside for the next one!!

Who gives a damn about the lame lyrics and this lame song. If you ask me Ci Ci is too cool to be remixing this wack song anyways. I’m sorry, but there are far betteer songs being played on he radio that she could have remixed not this crap. Anyways I can’t wait for Miss GO GIRL to come out with her cd next year. I am a true Ciara fan. She will own 2009!

Her new music is boring not mature. Her and daddy Knowles needs to stop strong arm robing people for their songs. IIWAB with her singing it is laughable. BC Jean’s version was 100 times better. The only reson she stole the song is because she thought it’d be #1 and a crossover hit and people would take her seriously, didn’t work. Instead Single Ladies was #1 which shows their only interrested in her for the booty shaking music. She’s a booty shaker. Nothing more nothing less. Diva is a poor song, so is everything on the Sasha side, it’s like she said, umm let me get good material for the pop crowd(white people) and the ghetto music for the hood(black people) what the hell is that about. She’s a robot.

The song sucks period.
both versions are both garbage,
It doesnt suit beyonce it suits ciara, cus ciara makes those songs that you play once or twice and then it goes into a trash can, and ciara makes temporary music, beyonce stick to halo and tracks like single ladies, this shows no growth on beyonce’s behalf.
again the song is straight garbage

Sasha Fierce ia the true Diva…
When RnB artists freestyle on songs they normally do it best on rap songs. I don’t know what Ciara was thinking on trying to show up and show out, she needs to 1 2 step up her game. Ciara is not considered a DIVA, she is to butch to be called that, now if she made a song called I am a Hustler that would suite her style better. First and far most a DIVA has to know how to sing and have the presence to stand and do nothing and people scream and call your name, the people know that this DIVA is going to ENTERTAIN the hell out of them. Ciara is still an opening act at concerts, what you say Beyonce, “she ain’t no Diva”. Beyonce is weeding out all weak artists that can’t hold their own, Ashanti(poor thang), Lumidee(Oh Oh), Cassie(lawd have mercy), PussyCatDolls(My Buttons mofo). People want more for their money these days and Beyonce give us that, she makes you feel good after you spend your hard earned money on her concert or DVD/CD. Other artists just cant give you that umph…that required to be a force in this game. Ciara I am writing this out of love, since you are reading all these blogs and you are leaking your so called remixes on the internet, I just want to know, Why didn’t you remix…If I Were a Boy????,and I think we all know the answer to that one. Lastly, even though Beyonce didn’t write all the lyric to the song, you can’t argue that what was said about her wasn’t true…Beyonce keep up the good work and continue to keep the game shook up…And CiCi if u keep it up, there will be no Fantasy Ride, but a TRAIN WRECK…

Personally, i believe Ciara did better on the song, I am not hating on beyonce, but beyonce is just wack with the whole sasha fierce shit, she should blast herself ASAP for that. I like Ciara’s flow on the song, and for all the people who keep saying CIARA isnt a diva, a diva is defined as a distinguished female singer; prima donna….and a prima donna is the leading woman soloist in an opera company…so neither of them are Divas…but both are African americans perceived definition of a DIVA….just stop the hating damn, black people love to see one of their own fail..

Ciara and Beyonce both ain’t no DIVA’s until they can sell out Mariah, be called the Queen of rnb soul and Hip hop like Mary J. and Aretha, get to the staus of being legends and icons and do a lot more then yaw can put up a fight until then no! Also Miss Janet had it right Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do for real!

Wednesday, December 31, 2008 /
You don’t see Aretha, Patti, Mariah, Janet are all the other TRUE DIVA’s sitting around bragging about how much money they got which really isn’t important. You don’t see them bragging about grammies or talking about they better then each other a true DIVA dosen’t do that!

First of all, everyone knows Bey is the tru number 1 DIVA in the game and whoever said Ciara got that shit must be trippin. And at # 11 you are a first class HATER!!.
And also Bey’s “if I were a boy” is nowhere close to Ciara’s” Like a Boy” and Bey’s has that RnB-ish and CiCi’s got that hip-hop-ish so that’s like saying night and day is the same when it’s not!!!
* Beyonce did so much better, I did not believe what I was reading when y’all dummies say Ciara’s is better* UNBELIEVABLE
* And I’m not hating on Ciara either because I like her, but you do not bring Beyonce down to her level*

Maybe, Beyonce could read the inauguration speech better than Obama so I aint even bothering to vote on this. The comparison is an insult.
I’d get with Ciara though, Jay Z messed up my fantasy ride with Beyonce.

I’m really convinced the haters on here are doing double duty and are just posting under different names cuz i don’t see how there’s this much B hate and almost 60% of the votes are for B while 22% are Ciara. Shyt just ain’t adding up. Oh well.
Ennteewayz, I like both, but B’s version sounds better to me. CiCi sounds a lil timid (even Janet like) in hers.

I say Ciara’s is better, even though I think she should have mixed it a ittle more. But thats what Beyonce gets for TRYING to redue CiCi’s song which in my opinion was a REALLY bad verson of CICI’s “like a boy”

I like both Beyoncé and Ciara, but Beyoncé has it all the way. Ciara not a damn diva, so the song doesn’t fit her from the start.

Fact over Feelings...
Saturday, January 3, 2009 /
sooooo.jus by the title i’d perfer not to listen to ciara’s bcuz the shoes doesn’t fit her on this one…i mainly agree with 69…most people dnt like sasha nd if that’s the case shut her out…turn off tv, radio, internet…well damn that’s your whole life huh?
ciara[or rihanna] cant compare to B vocally…people who say beyonce yells or can’t sing fail to break the tradition of old time singin or carryin a note…B has her own style vocally with a uniqueness that sets her apart from old time divas nd wannabee’s…most people who are musically inclined understand…the people who kno nothin about music nd or singin are the main ones who judge nd hate…nd can i b sarcastic for a second…ask God who sings it better…he won’t physically answer you but he’ll send sign like record sales, awards, success ect.
ciara kills the dance floor
rihanna owes her stylist her life…both can carry a note but that’s not a characteristic of a diva…
who sang it better? B
who implicates it better? B

Ciara sounds like a dumba** on this track! She cannot sing! Her voice is all squeaky and high! This just proves how limited her vocals are. I don’t care for Beyonce’s DIVA, because it sounds like she’s trying to sound all hard and ghetto, but Beyonce’s version sounds a whole lot better!

Beyonce made it a Hot line But Ciara made it a hot flow!!!! To all you Beyonce stans out there Get over it…. Ciara has done a way better job then Sasha Flop!! and to those who keep saying that Ciara is a flop let us do the Math… Beyonce If I were a Boy is not in Hard rotation Like Ciara’s Like a Boy!! The same Concept but One is Hotter and Rebel over the double standards the Men and Women go through everyday and the other is wishing… Come on Beyonce you suppose to HAVE SWAGGA and you coming off like that… Like she What you said She ain’t No Diva!! Beyonce is W.E.A.K and OverCook!! Put a Fork in she is Done!!! Ha ha …. Ciara

What Were You Thinking CiCi?
Wednesday, January 7, 2009 /
Beyonce’s voice is much stronger (and better) than Ciara’s.
Making this remix just showcased how much worse her voice is than Bey’s.
Ciara’s niche is fun dance tracks. As soon as she attempts to sing real songs that require holding a note for more than 2 seconds at a time, it’s a wrap.
Know what you’re good at and stick to it!

How about this Beyonce is good at what she does and the same goes for Ciara I thought both of them brought a different style to the song. I’m not a big fan of DIVA myself, but there’s no need to be putting both of these females down.

how can beyonce say “i been the number one diva in this game for a minute.” says who…
last time i checked you was hiding in alicia keys shadow. the last cd b-day is what put beyonce on. there bey go feeling herself again trying to take credit for something she aint………
alicia key sell more albums than any woman in the and.her fans are more mature and realize she has talent and let it shine on its own and beyonce has become more popular because her fans are more like worshipers than actuall human beings. thats all!

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 /
let me tell you why ciara is a diva..
1. every song on her goodies album was number 1.
“so retarded, top charted ,every since the day she started.”
2. for beyonce to be a diva it comes with origanility. she steals concepts from ciara. for instance.(notice i said concepts)
- like a boy -ciara vs if i were a boy- beyonce
-go girl-ciara vs diva ciara
3.ciara is young and has madd swagger:
-singer, actress, dancer,model,spokesperson,designer) she has accomplished all of this by the age of 21. beyonce resume wasn’t this long at the age of 21. all beyonce had was destiny’s child which she has kicked to the curb…
4. people are forgetting that beyonce established her fame throught a group.ciara came out solo and accomplished all of her popularity on her own…ciara wins .she’ the true diva…
