Ciara... Bad Bitch or Rerun Goddess?


I hate when people hype sh*t up. I probably would have like it a lot better if i wasn't looking for something epic.

Yesterday, the hot topic of Twitter, Facebook, and word of mouth was Ciara's new video "Ride" feat. Ludacris. I was told it was a "MUST SEE!" and in a desperate search to find the video on my iPhone [Becky] because I did not have access to a working computer, I couldn't find it and I was over it before I even saw the video. YouTube honestly needs to start regulating all of the junk on there.

As you can see from the picture I posted above, Ciara is definitely hot. She's a bad one so you can understand my excitement! Finally, I was able to access a mini laptop with a friend. I was about to feast my eyes upon what everyone was chatting about all day... and then I was disappointed. The song is about how Ciara can ride a dick extremely well as she is moving, shaking, and grinding on a white backdrop [so original]. Yes, I agree her body was sickin! Due to the singers recent modeling career with Adidas and other campaigns she has lost a lot of weight and is not the same Southern ATL girl when "Goodies", her first single, hit the scene and put Ciara on the map.

I personally think Ciara needs to reinvent herself. She went back to what she knew, which is a fitted baseball cap, a mid drift top, and some black spandex, and I can appreciate that. But at the very same time I am a little tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. AND then she started chewing that bubble gum extremely hard and it just wasn't working for me! On top of that, the song was #trash. Nothing special.

We all know Ciara can come out with something new because she has done it before! She KILLED the game with "Promise" back in 2006. That sound would change the entire mood of any house party from "Too $hort buck" to "F**kin with clothes on". It was a new sound, new look, and it WORKED! She even had a new sound and was the first compare a relationship in a woman and man's perspective before Queen Beyonce even did with "Like A Boy" on the same album. She's a cute girl, she just needs a team that will point her in the right direction.

I have no doubt in my mind that Ciara truly knows how to "ride" and she was doing what she does extremely well [as always], but I want to see more from her. Once again, Luda was forced to save the day! Let us pray this is not her "big come back" because you would have never even known her last album was even for sale... SMH


After watching the video when I am not so upset makes me appreciate it more, but I can say she still has a lot of work to do as a music artist. She already handled step #1 below haha.
