: Natalie Cole managed to hit the top of the charts when she recorded the duet Unforgettable with her deceased father Nat King Cole. Now R&B artist Ciara is looking to follow in her footsteps. MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that Ciara is looking to record a duet with legendary artist Aaliyah.
We spoke with a music industry insider who claims that Ciara's camp is actively pursuing Aaliyah's previously unreleased vocals - in the hopes of using them in a duet. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "Ciara has always been a huge Aaliyah fan. She would love the chance to honor her memory by using her on an upcoming track."

she needs to sit her ass at home! shes been copying aaliyah from day one. no one is original anymore. once she does this duet, i bet you she'll take it even further and thonk its ok to go alll the way in cpoying aaliyahs style. bitch pls, when aaliyah was alive do you remember her doing any duest with other female rnb singers, so why the [EXPLETIVE] wld she do it now.damn!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about this one. As a fan of Aaliyah's, I'm still waiting for the Movie of her life to come out for some sort of closure. I still can't get over her being dead, therefore, I ain't up to seeing Ciara doing this so-called "duet". And if she was still alive she'd be knocking ALL OF THEM out the box. R.I.P. Aaliyah!! You'll always be missed. There is no other like you in this game that can take your place - bootleg or otherwise!
That would be beautiful, Damn people act like you cant be inspired by others...instead they wanna label it copy cattin..[EXPLETIVE] dat....I beg to differ...Ciara is her own person, she may have learned some things from AALIYAH which nothin is wrong with that. Aaliyah was a very beautiful person, what young girl wasnt inspired by her humble spirit and passion to work hard to leave a mark in this world??? Ciara reminds me of AAliyah and that is FAAAAARR from a BAD THING. I miss Aaliyah and I think Aaliyah would be flattered to have ppl honorin her by keepin her music alive...somethin that was very close to her. Aaliyah wasnt the type to call ppl out that did jock her even when she was alive...her spirit was too humble to be mean or to criticized others for what THEY CHOOSE TO DO. I would loove to hear Ciara and AAliyah...the only issue I would have with it is that I believe I may began to feel the way I felt when Aaliyah passed...all those deep emotions will surface again...missin her ssoooooo much and her spirit...wishin she was here(physically).....Ciara is a humble young smart lady I dont think Aaliyah minds that Ciara wants to follow in her foot steps. R.I.P LiLi..Ciara do the DAMN tHANg mama...[EXPLETIVE] wha da hataz say....they just mad of course...like usual..lmao
so what if Ciara wants to be like Aaliyah..wha da hell is wrong with that? What is it because Aaliyah has passed? Are yall afriad that Ciara may become BETTER THAN Aaliyah? I mean if not...what the hell is wrong with Ciara wantin to be like Aaliyah? Of course she could never be, because theres only one Aaliyah...hell the same sayin goes for you...nobody can be like you...and if mad at the fact someone is tryin that means your not bein you...because no one no matter how hard they try can be you. So why get madd? get glad someone is that inspired by you to want to be like you...damn some ppl are so backwardz...
leave Aaliyah alone. damn let the poor woman rest in peace. some wack ass singer is always tryna ressurect her for their own personal career gains. Ciara please. we're not gonna look at aaliyah & think of you--youre night & she's day. you didnt have shyt to do w/ her career when she was alive so i dont know why you tryna front now.
Please Lord No! Aaliyah and CIARA? No. No, no, no, no, NO! Ciara's good for a club song or three, but singing with Aaliyah is where I draw the doggone line now! We already did that when Aaliyah passed and they did the tribute song I Care 4 U. Leave it alone, now, leave it the hell alone. Let the woman rest in peace. We all have good memories of her, her songs are classic hits, leave that sh!t alone CIARA whatever your last name is!
Let me finish......... AND Ciara 'be' sweatin' all over the place like that one irritating chick in the club that thinks she's REALLY doing something impressive. Dancing all hard and stuff and slingin' sweat everyone on everybody. Then goes over and tries to hug all up on the fellas and they push her @ss away because she's gettin' sweat all over them!
HAHAHAHAHA!
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER AALIYAH...ALL OF THESE HOES WOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS IF SHE WAS STILL LIVING.......PLEASE CIARA SIT DOWN HONEY.....AND THAT GOES FOR B TOO....SHE COULD NOT EVEN BEGAN TO F#@$ WITH AALIYAH..AND AALIYAH WAS GORGEOUS! LOOKED WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THAN ANY OF THEM....AND B TOO..COMPARED TO AALIYAH B WOULD BE JUST ANOTHER THICK LIGHT-SKINNED CHIC..THAT'S 'BOUT IT
So what is she does make a song with Aaliyah. Ciara is the future. RIP Aaliyah, but yall need to frontin because yall know that Ciara is a way better dancer the Aaliyah was. Aaliyah can't move like Ciara. Aaliyah was a little stiff. There is not a female entertainer out right now that can pull off moves like Ciara. Stop hatin so muc!!
I'm an absolute HUGE Aaliyah fan... Always have been and always will be. I'm all about keepin' her memory and legacy alive, but this is too much. Ciara will make an absolute MOCKERY of anything that has Aaliyah's name on it. I'm not saying that Aaliyah was a "powerhouse" singer, but she had a beautiful voice. It was soft and it always complimented whatever beats that accompanied it. She just had that IT factor... Ciara can NEVER have that, achieve that or even emulate it... No matter how hard she tries. That RHYTHMIC TALKING that Ciara does is NOT singing. And, IMO, Ciara was NOT a better dancer that Aaliyah. Like, someone else said, Ciara's dancing is equivalent to that of a stripper.. Or hell, even a high school cheerleader. Aaliyah had actual CHOREOGRAPHY. And it was different in every video. Ciara does the same mess each and everytime. Ciara will NEVER be in the same league as 'Liyah.. Bottom line.
Let me just say this Ciara doesn't even respect Aaliyah (God bless the dead) and everytime she is asked about her she diverts the question, but yet she has borrowed from every aspect of AALIYAH. I love watching Aaliyah videos ,which are classics. Ciara on the other hand I can't get past the first 5 seconds of any video she has done. The bottom line is I couldn't wait to see what Aaliyah was going to do next because she totally captured you. I have yet to be interested in anything Ciara does.
AALIYAH "HIGHEST MOST EXHAULTED ONE" WHICH SHE IS....Ciara will NEVER be AALIYAH, the 2 can NOT compare...AALIYAH started all this, everything theses lames are doing came from AALIYAH. AALIYAH IS the best, and for all yall weak a$$ losers talkin that smack about ciara dancing better than AALIYAH LMFAO are u serious!! ciara is TRYING to do AALIYAH!! but it aint working. AALIYAH IS beautiful inside and out...The mysteriousness about her was soooo intriguing(spelling) ciara isnt that pretty, but AALIYAH is too beautiful. YES she is legendary. There would be no Beyonce, Ciara, and all these others....AALIYAH may u rest in peace, u are loved and admired to the HIGHEST, your TRUE FANS will continue to keep ure spirit alive....WE LOVE YOU
OK THAT'S ENOUGH ALL YOU HATERS ON CIARA NEED TO STOP OK SHE IS NOT TRYING TO COPY NO ONE OK AND IT WOULD BE GOOD IF SHE PLANS ON DOING A DUET THAT WAY WE CAN ALL REMEMBER AALIYAH OK! SO ONCE AGAING YA ALL ARE [EXPLETIVE] ME OFF LEAVE CIARA THE F**K ALONE OK I LOVE HER AND I WILL ALLWAYS DEFEND HER SO FOR ALL YOU HATERS I GOT ONE THING TO SAY F**K YOU ALL AND LEAVE HER ALONE, AND CICI BABY YOU HAVE A TRUE FAN HER I LOVE YOU MAMA OK KEEP DOING YOUR THANG.
FIRST OFF U DUMB BITCHES CIARA AND AALIYAH CAN SING AND SHE AINT TRYIN 2 B AALIYAH SHE JUS ADMIRED HER!!! AND THEY BOTH MY BABIES. I LUV THEM BOTH SO THAT WOULD B PERFECT 4 THEM 2 SING 2 GETHA IM TIRED OF GOIN ON HERE AND SEEIN U BITCH AZZ HATAS TALKIN YALL [EXPLETIVE] U NEED 2 SIT DA [EXPLETIVE] DOWN SOMEWHERE CUZ YALL AINT ON [EXPLETIVE]!!!!!! AND WHO DA [EXPLETIVE] SAID CIARA CANT DANCE!!! BITCH YALL CRAZY AZ HELL!!!!!! AND IF SHE COULDNT SING DEN WHY SHE GOT A RECORD LABLE AND YALL BROKE ASS DONT!!!! NOW LOOK WHERE SHE @ AND LOOK WHERE U @ BITCH!!!! EN BODY GOT SUMTHIN 2 SAY HIT ME UP BIGX519@YAHOO.COM
I do agree with the people above. I don't think there will ever be another Aaliyah. Ciara is a cute and can dance. But she is not as striking as Aaliyah was. Just because your younger dosent mean your better. I think it would be a great move for Ciara to sing the Aaliyah song. I just want to see Cici step her game up. She's to cute to be boring and underrated. I'd rather see Ciara than Beyonce, but Aaliyah outshined Cici and Beyonce and Rihanna. But Cici is prettier than those 3, I just with I could see her do more. I love Ciara and I love Aaliyah,
YO SOME OF YALL NEED TO CALM DOWN!!! YALL DON'T EVEN KNOW IS IT TRUE OR NOT BECAUSE MEDIATAKEOUT BE LIEING ABOUT SH*T AND PLUS IT SAYS A RUMOR ON TOP SO YALL NEED TO CHILL AND STOP TAKING IT TO THE HEART, DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL BUT 4 REAL!...
Anyway, I am not gonna say to much because you never know it's probably not true but i wish ciara and aaliyah the best and i love them both...And for some of these people bringing all this sh*t in here about them and starting sh*t, stop that because aaliyah just want to be missed she don't want any of her fans fighting over her...Like i said i wish cici and aaliyah the best and we will just see what happens and see if it's true or not...
I hope this is just a rumor because I think it's creepy and tacky to do. It would be acceptable if someone like missy elliot did this, cause she was actually close to Aaliyah. But Ciara doesn't have those ties to Aaliyah. Ciara seems like a nice girl so I'm sure she isn't doing it for shady reasons. But it will honestly look like a sensational stunt to get a hit record.
I hope this is not true; if it is, Ciara needs to fall back! She has been trying to be "the new" Aaliyah, when she will never be as good as she was, even on her best day. It would be a nice tribute/duet, but I just wish it was somebody else doing it.
With that said, Ciara seems to be a cool chick and all, but I resent artists that have not truly found what their own style is and continue to emulate other original artists. Aaliyah was "One In A Million"-period.
This better be a damn rumor fareal CIARA I HOPE YOU GET YO SILLY ASS ON MTO AND READ THIS, PLEASE DONT DO IT, for the sake of the Aaliayh fans out here MOST of us anyway don't wanna hear u paired up with her. It's been 6 years now I love Li Li n I miss her dearly still listen to her music and watch the videos but DAMN let her be don't nobody wanna hear u on no track wit her stop the madness! Aaliyah sung soft but she did know how to sing actually she just wasnt no Beyonce. On her last album her vocals was starting to get a lot stronger than they had been b4! it's all on opinion and taste tho. CIARA I already don't like you PLEASE dont do this!
i think ciara needs to be accepted for the person she is...what is wrong with her recording a song with aaliyah? im a huge fan of liyah and cece and just the thought of them doing something together is like "wow" and even if liyah was still alive today can u just imagine the dance moves the were bout to come up with...aaliyah was a role model to many...even cece so if she wanna join liyah in a song im supporting 100%
with aaliyah in our hearts!!
JUST WHY?????????
Ciara just needs to sit down coz no one aint interested, and shes always down to jack her style and then not give her any credit but its its true what they say often IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED. And for ALL you FOOLS talking a loose rap about how Aaliyah cant sing shut da phuck up go and listen to "I care 4 u" "journey to the past" "the one i gave my heart to", then i DARE you to come back and say there on the same vocal level and agian for the FOOLS talking MORE loose rap about how she cant dance and was stiff *u know who u are* wht da hell would you call the dancing in "Are you that somebody" coz u know her dancing in that video was on point.
Aaliyah is a LEGEND and for those who dont know the meaning let me tell you the meaning celebrity: somebody famous admired for a skill or talent.
Ciara needs to not even think about it!!! She can't hold a torch to Aaliyah. AALIYAH is too wonderful and her memory still lives on in her fans. Ciara...If you do it... I will forever blast you! I know I'm nobody to you, but do not mess up Aaliyah's name. Anyway, who ever told you that you were good enough to undertake this??? I am really HATING CIARA more and more. Please stop thinking you are more than you are honey. I am in Atlanta and am very upset anytime other people not from here think that you are all that we have to offer. Keep being 50's puppet and shut up "singing" (We can't hear you anyway!) Please Disappear!!!!!
ciarahusband.THIS ONE IS FOR YOU...I GOT YO' B***TCH.....AND YOU CALL YOURSELF CIARAHUSBAND...YOU GOTTA BE TO' DOWN!!!! GET A LIFE SON OR DAUGHTER! AALIYAH WAS AHEAD OF HER GAME....ESPECIALLY WITH THE MATRIX STYLE DANCING....NO ONE ELSE DID THAT! THEN CAME ALONG CIARA TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING THAT WAS DONE YEARS BEFORE SHE CAME IN THE GAME....I AM A TRUE AALIYAH FAN...ASK ME ANYTHING AND I KNOW...DON'T PLAY!
I think it may be okay...as one of Aaliyah's biggest fans,(Detroit!!!) I know she wouldn't want all of this negativity pushed on Ciara, because Ciara's just trying to make her path like Aaliyah had to do...I think Aaliyah's style was always different, she didn't really mature into a young woman with the dresses and thangs until a little before her death, but she remained true to herself, her image, and her craft, never sleazy or slutty, and Ciara is holding fast to the same principles. I guess people feel like you have to be all hollerin and screamin like other singers to be considered a "great singer", but to hear Aaliyah sing acapella, her voice was beautiful..not the strongest, no, but she had vocal training, believe that. And I haven't heard another singer ad-lib like her since.... Fantasia's voice fits Fantasia. Beyonce's voice fits Beyonce. To each his own.
Aaliyah was before her time. Her videos are over 10 years old and still are right up there with videos of today. Aaliyah was a real and trained dancer. Ciara is a street dancer. No comparison!! Aaliyah was also more universal movies, albums, etc and was very well spoken. Ciara isn't SORRY!! Ciara is an Aaliyah wannabe! So go head and record your song Ciara so you can live your dream of being the next Aaliyah and have people comparing you to her even more. Aaliyah did more in her 22 years than Ciara will ever dream about! Aaliyah forever!!!!
Aaliyah was the 1. She had more swag then anyone out. A movie about her life.. I guess. Ciara needs to work on stepping up her performance game and not getting out done by non dancing Beyonce. Ciaras talent is dancing but why when she performs live she acts like thats not what she does best. She doesn't even really dance she is gets up there trying to look cute. I am not a Overexposed Beyonce Fan but she does work hard at her shows. She can't dance better than Ciara but she still out performs her. Ciara needs to work harder on her craft cause shes not the best singer. She needs to Forget about Aaliyah and work on being a good live performing Ciara.
I agree Missmedia81 she needs to work on her performance a LOT of these artist do. I honestly used to HATE Beyonce b4 "Work it out" after that I loved her she changed as a person and entertainer. She does just that and I paid a bid to go see her show and would do it 3 times over I have never had so much FUN at a concert and felt so much energy throughout the ENTIRE show and she does work really hard she had her moments where you could tell she was tired because she works JUST that hard. I would LOVe to see that in more entertainers now a days if Ciara could do that I think I would like her more. put on a show liek ppl used to Ciara u can't get that anymore. listen to yo MAN gone switch ya style up and if they hate then let em hate and watch da money pile up! let loose and do YOU, stop with the recordin wit Aaliyah non sense
@ glidder sleeve
You are the dumb one that needs to shut up. If Aaliyah was still alive you would have something negative to say about her. Everybody talks about everybody don't get mad at me for my opinion. You just want in on the debate. Convo isn't even a word dumb ass! You must be smoking crack! Matter fact why don't you smoke on some nutts!! Ciara is talented and people need to stop hating on her. I don't even like her or her music, but the girl can dance and that's a fact. I give credit where credit is due. I bet you couldn't do not one single move that Ciara has done! Bytch!!
People need to stop comparing people with other people. That's whats wrong with the world now. It's just like if you date, you may date someone that treats you like crap. Then you find someone that will love you and treat you right, but you mess up trying to compare the two. God made everyone different and unique in their own way. Aaliyah had her time, she shined when it was her time to shine. Ciara time is now, let her shine. As black people we hate to see people shine. Don't be so quick to kick down your brothers and sisters. This is her destiny, and whether we like it or not she is going to fulfill everything God intended for her even if it is recording a song with Aaliyah, so yall can hate it or not. She still is going to shine because its her destiny.
