Video Premiere: Ciara 'Gimme Dat'

Here is the new video from Ciara for her song "Gimme Dat" set to appear on her upcoming album Basic Instinct.

Simply put, the video is hot! A lot of dancing and special effects that isn't flashy in the least bit, gives way to an intense video.

The final scene where she multiplies herself is my favorite.

Her "FLY" belt on the other hand reminded me of Sesame Street for some odd reason...

Video Premiere: Ciara 'Speechless'

Here is the new video for Ciara's "Speechless" off of her album Basic Instinct due in stores November 2.

I keep forgetting that Ciara has an album coming out. Why? Well, because she hardly promotes the damn thing! But it is always good to see something coming out of the project.

The video for "Speechless" is all Ciara so if you love looking at her you won't be disappointed.

The song is appealing and I can see it racking up radio plays as the powerful beat carries the song.

Are Music Artists Really To Blame For Everything Your Kids Do?

This was the question I asked myself after pressing play on a video that showed a little girl around the age of 7 or 8 thrusting her little backside to Ciara's new song "Ride."

The little girl was trying to imitate Ciara's dance moves in the video for "Ride" in a bedroom with her little sister (or brother, they were too cute to tell) standing beside her trying to keep up. The response to the video has been mixed with people feeling her dance moves were inappropriate while others thought that it was innocent fun.

The Dream Says That Ciara's Upcoming Album Is Her Last Shot At Pop Stardom

The Dream recently sat down and spoke with Parlour Magazine about his marriage, new daughter and revealed some details regarding his forthcoming album Love King.

He discarded the rumors that suggested that he and wife Christina Milian were having marital issues and kind of admitted to being a dead beat dad (but not in those words exactly) just in time for Father's Day.

When asked if the album that he is currently working on with Ciara is her last shot at stardom, The Dream admitted that it was.

Video Premiere: Ciara 'Ride'

Here is the new video from Ciara for her song "Ride" that features Ludacris. The song will appear on her upcoming album Basic Instinct.

The video shows the original Ciara in action. She definitely has returned to her roots and what made her the toast of the town. Back to dancing and humping floors, the video is impressive.

Clothes of course continue to be optional  and not so much necessary.

Video Premiere: Ciara 'Basic Instinct (U Got Me)'

Here is a new video from Ciara for her song "Basic Instinct (U Got Me)."
The song really doesn't sound like a track, it sounds more like a promo to get fans amped
It's nice that Ciara is trying something new with rapping. I'm guessing these R&B artists are like "if these rappers can sing why can't I rap?"

But what I love most is that Ciara has moved past trying to force her sexy.

She built her career off of being the hot tom boy and her decision to be overly sexy was boring. Now that she has gotten rid of her prissy (as she says) attitude and image maybe everything else will fall in place.

I'm look forward to what she has to offer. So far what I'm hearing doesn't have me anxious about the album...even if you don't want my feedback Ciara.

New Music: Ciara Gets Cocky On 'I'm Up In The Bank'

Here is new music from Ciara titled "I'm Up In The Bank" that is scheduled to be released on her new album that has a tentative release date set for this summer.

Not to be harsh but this is a no,no.

I'm practically begging at this point for Ciara to have me in the studio so that we can have a heart-to-heart talk about her decline from grace.

It has to be said that this this song has yet to be mastered, it is still a rough draft, a demo if you may. But even in the state that it is in, this is just  a flop just waiting to happen if the rest of the songs on the album sound like this.

What makes "I'm Up In The Bank" even worse is the fact that our girl is cocky all over the track which probably won't sit well with music fans. This new album is going to make it clear of she has any hope of regaining her multi-platinum artist status and singles like this ain't gonna cut it.

I knew when I found out that The Dream would be behind this project there would be some problems; why is he all over the track with his Rihanna circa "Umbrella" sounds? And please do not say that this is his signature sound, there is nothing signature about sounding like a wounded ostrich in heat, I'm sorry. His sound is great for some people but really not for all.

Ciara can do better than this, I just know it.

Morning Ear Candy: Ciara 'Promise'

"You can be my teacher I'll do homework

You can give me extra credit baby I'll do more work"

 

CIARA IS THE NEW FACE FOR VERIZON

For those of you (including me) that have counted Ciara out of the game, homegirl has come back swinging with a new endorsement for Verizon's LG Chocolate Touch mobile phone.

Ciara has reportedly signed a multi-million dollar campaign to promote LG's Chocolate Touch.

Good for her.

Lloyd explains the Ciara 'Hollywood B*tches' comment

In case you missed it, ex-The Inc artist Lloyd did an interview with Hip Hop Weekly where he was asked about his soured friendship with Ciara.

Apparently, the two attended high school in Atlanta together and had been cool well into both of their careers. Eventually, they would lose touch causing their friendship to dissolve because of Ciara's fame.

Lloyd felt that Ciara was letting her celebrity get to her head and he wasn't feeling it and decided to cut her out of his life.

In said interview, Lloyd said that he didn't "f*ck with Hollywood b*tches" and that was the type of person Ciara became.

Word got out that Lloyd called Ciara a "b*tch" (which technically he didn't, however, putting b*tch in the same sentence as a woman's name may spark gossip) prompting him to release this blog post:

"Let’s set the record straight on my “Hollywood B*tches” comment in Hip Hop Weekly. I said what I said and I stand by it. But read exactly what I said, then judge me. The truth is, I don’t fuck with Hollywood B*tches (or Hollywood Ni**as for that matter). No, I’m not calling Ciara a b*tch, I’m saying that I think celebrity status changed her for the worse, and because of that, we don’t get down anymore.

Yesterday I spoke to CiCi for the first time in years. I called her to explain my comments and to let her know how I felt about the situation. We had a good one-on-one conversation that will remain between us. I respect and I love CiCi like family, but sometimes family are the only ones that will tell you the truth. I’m sure I could have found a better way to tell her, but what’s done is done. We’re moving on.

The funny thing is, this Ciara question was the last question in the HHW interview. At first, I lied and made up some answer to make it seem like we were still cool. But when I hung up the phone, I felt like I shoulda just kept it real, so I called back and answered the question honestly. Maybe a little too honestly. But fair is fair, if I start acting Hollywood, someone that knew me before the fame should call me out too. I wish CiCi the best."

Well, Ciara couldn't be too Hollywood, she answered her phone when he called.

I think the whole thing was done very coward like on Lloyd's part. If you haven't sat down and spoke to Ciara about your feelings regarding her evolving character, why take those details elsewhere and expect people to just sit on it?

Lloyd did the right thing with calling her up and talking to her about the situation. Maybe now he will learn that keeping it real is not always the wisest thing to do when the cat had your tongue prior to you spilling the beans. Besides, I doubt it is good for him to use terms like "b*tch" when a good majority of his fan base are women and not all women embrace that title.

Ciara on the other hand must be loving this free promotion she is getting courtesy of bitter Lloyd. She is currently working on her follow-up album to Fantasy Ride that is scheduled for release in early 2010.

Yummy Pix: Ciara has a new haircut

Lady "Goodies" has a new haircut and is wearing it high and proud. The black and white photo paired with the new haircut really brings out Ciara's regal charm. I must be honest, when I first saw the photo's I didn't really like the new hairstyle.

I thought that she looked a little too masculine being that her jawline is strong which is ideal for women with long hair, but after seeing these pics I really am impressed with her new pixie cut.
The light did her eyes justice, they look hazel.

Ciara is reportedly back in the studio recording with Justin Timberlake on a duet that will be released in the future. There is no word on whether it will appear on an upcoming album from the artists.

Ciara covers Rap-Up Magazine

Ciara is Rap-Up Magazine's cover girl for their newest issue and looks great! I can't quite put my finger on it, but I am sure I've seen this photo somewhere else before. Maybe it was in affiliation with this shoot.

She even looks like she filled out a little. A lot of people were saying that she lost a little too much weight, I think they will be pleased.

Yummy Pics: Ciara performs

On Saturday (05.16), Ciara attended and performed at Z100's Zootopia 09' concert in New Jersey and from what I hear she brought the house down. Here are the pics....
The shoes look great as does her bod, I hear the album sales aren't looking as good; somehow I am still rooting for her....

And just like that, she transforms into her super ego, Super C. It's interesting, It seems as if Rihanna has now created and formulated her very own blueprint that everyone is interested in having a bite of. Is she the new queen?

Yummy Pics: Ciara out and about

It's looking like a Ciara-day here on M.Y. today. Ciara was photoed out at the Ivy in Los Angeles for a day of fun in the sun with brand new best gal pal, socialite turned reality star Kim Kardashian, random much? There just has to be an underlining reason behind that, first Keyshia Cole with Nicky Hilton now this?! Anyhow, here are the pics....
Ciara looks great with her hair in braids and just simple for a change. All that extra hair is just so unnecessary for a natural beauty such as herself. Hopefully she got the clue that less is so much better...
I just can't think about what it is they might have in common besides Reggie Bush. I guess it's like they say, opposites attract; they also say if you want to be seen by the paps eat at the Ivy, I'm just sayin'.

Ciara covers Jet

Ciara is the cover girl for Jet's newest issue that hits stands May 25th. I am not sure about what is going on with the hair *I thought we were over two-toned hair styles* but her body looks great.

In this issue, she discusses growing up and letting go of things that are just not that important.

"A lot of things that I used to probably sweat about when I was younger, I won’t sweat anymore,” she said. “The ultimate goal for me is to share the many different sides of me that I haven’t shared."

Good for her. If you missed it Ciara came in at number 3 on the Billboard 200 charts selling 80,990 units of her latest album Fantasy Ride.

Music Rumor: See Ciara and Jay-Z in concert....together

Ciara announced on her twitter that she and Jay-Z will be heading out on a 10-city tour. She said,

"i will say it because the information has been leaked…me and Jay z will be doing a 10city tour run together! more details coming soon [sic]!"

I would definitely pay to see the two in concert but will this come pre-Blueprint 3 or post? Where is that friggin album already?!

Tour dates have not yet been announced but make sure to check back for dates.

M.Y. Song Of The Week: Ciara-Promise

This weeks SOTW is brought to us courtesy of Ciara with her song "Promise". You know when a song is a certified hit within seconds of hearing it and this song holds true to that theory. Everything about it from the beat to Ciara's sultry voice does this song total justice.

Promise - Ciara

It also helped propel Ciara's career to where it is right now. She embodied that perfect amount of sexy and she brought it to this track. I am still waiting from a song from her that can top this song.

Ciara: "Men are intimidated by my height"

Ciara seems to think so. She says that it is hard for her to find a man that is able to get past her height or at least approach her because her height somehow makes them nervous.

Ciara who stands at a modelesque height of 5ft 9in, believes that she towers over most men she comes across,

"Some guys are nervous about speaking to me. Maybe it's because I'm five foot nine-and-a-half. Since I've been doing music I don't really get asked out much".-via WENN

I'm sure there are oodles and oodles of men out there that would beg to differ with you little lady. In fact I guarantee you right this moment, there is a man self-pleasing himself with a little help from one of your pictures so quit complaining. You cute girls and your insecurities, tsk.

Plus, maybe the reason why you don't get asked out is because you are rumored to be goody goody with 50 Cent, I doubt anyone wants to step on his toes.

Music Menu: Ciara ft. Chris Brown-Turntables

Here is new music from Ciara featuring Chris Brown "Turntables".

This is an OK song. It has a little too much going on in it, but this will play on heavy rotation in the club. I guess she's not kicking this song to the curb like the rumors implied.

Music Menu: Ciara ft. The Dream-Lovers Thing

Listen to >>*Ciara ft. The Dream-Lovers Thing*<<

Geez..The Dream gets around with the features huh? Here is new music from Ciara featuring The Dream with "Lovers Thing". The track is a song that could be played while chilling at home wanting to relax, that is of course, if you can get past that annoying thing The Dream does at the very beginning of the song; What is that?!

For the most part, it is a good song for two artists with OK vocals, but The Dream at some point in his career, is going to have to tone that noise-that would be identified as "riffing"-down; it's too much.
