So it's been three singles (Goodies, 1-2 Step, Oh), and she is still strong. Thinking back to that "What if Aaliyah was still alive?" thread, what do you think about Ciara's holding power? A few of the songs on the album certainly sound like direct Aaliyah bites (Pick Up the Phone, which I Love {and is my voicemail, currently} sounds like she pilfered lost Aaliyah tapes and pieced together a song). But I don't necessarily find this to be a distraction as it doesn't seem as though she is solely about being the next Aaliyah, or something akin to that. The album is strong, especially the second side of the first LP (Bangladesh produced Hotline, Oh, and Pick Up the Phone), and she seems fairly charming. Think she's going to be around?

I also get the impression that she's more of a dancer than a singer
Her dance in the Oh video when she's wearing that silly half-hoodie cracks me up bigtime
I've never been the hugest fan of newer R & B... But I always liked Aaliyah, and I have become a huge fan of Ciara. She is mos def going strong with this album. I think her second album can only be bigger. But thats my opinion. I can see Jazze Pha doing alot more with the next album. The relationship does really remind me of the timbo aaliya relationship. There will never be another Aaliyah.
she's just being consistent, man! She never wears a WHOLE garment!
NOICE!
SG
She's definitely a singer. I don't think she's Jesus or anything, but she knows what's going on. But, yeah, that dance where she is like mowing the lawn or some shit with the arms at right angles, shit is mad goofy
Ed....Ed, now you KNOW this isn't true.
WHAT is wack about this???
Officially catty...
"And ya'll know that ain't her real hair!"
I ain't mad at her...
not a DAMN ting!
If only we could put her "talent" into Free's body....
PS I like Ciara's records, but I still think she looks a bit mannish.
I don't know what it is about free, but I've just never been attracted. My friends go ape shit over her and I just don't see it..
Rumour has it that she possesses a teeny weenie. Did you notice the size of his/her hands in that "Oh" video? HOW YOU DOIN'
I have never seen you, my friend, but I know for a fact that you are not a black man.
Man...HAHAHA...I'm hispanic. I am into the donkey, don't get me wrong, but I'm just not that into her.
but Free has the MAD Donkey.....u HAVE to be into Free. Her grill ain't the best, but the back....my GOD!
whoever cropped this shit at the bottom should be shot
i dont know what it is ...but lately these latina chicks have more "donkey" than black chicks....fast food i guess?
Free vs Ciara = apples vs oranges
both= hot
and Phil....c'mon, man, that hermaphrodite stuff was long ago shown to be internet urban legend.
and Ed, what besides smallish breasteses is mannish about this girl????
My bad, that was RossHogg. Butt still!
For real, I really don't care...5 STAR THREAD!!!
Ciara with curves[/b]
Hmmm..this and the Female MC thread got me thinkin'...
Ciara could be Lyte's little sister!
It's true, I have a crush on Lyte! And yes, I know the talk, but I don't care.
Like I said man, I'm a fan... but on her singles there is almost NO singing whatsoever... which calls her vocal talents into question IMO... I haven't heard the album, but aside from a couple parts on Goodies she's ain't singing on those singles at all... just speaking rhythmically
And forget the hermaphrodite shit... they said the same thing about Ashanti and will say the same thing about the next 18 year old pop vocalist chick
Nah, it's something about her face...not so much in the pics posted above, but in her videos.
But back to Free. I wasn't initially feelin' the grillin', but she's really grown on me.
Free vs. LaLa. Yes, plaese.
I'd like to apologize to our half-dozen female Strutters for being such a pig (Hogg?).
This pic doesn't really do it justice but in that video she looks real trollish or something a few times, her lips all thin and contorted and the nose w/ that same like down slope to a v as these guys:
thanks for the myth busting... my kids at work have been telling me that shes a man for ages... but i wouldnt let them search onlien for info in case some weird ass pictures would pop up etc.
ciara == man? had the internet going nuts?
i just realized that when you guys say donkey, that means ass... slow me.
