RUMOR: Ciara's Recording A New Song - With DECEASED R&B Great AALIYAH

: 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."

email2michael

>> "Ciara has always been a huge Aaliyah fan.<<

Naw, really? I sure can't tell!


MizzJDWilliams

man she be jocin aaliyah


UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

I hope this is a rumor .I hope shes is working on her own songs & performances and establishing her self as a real artist.


blackdaddy1696

As long as its done right, And in a respectful way, Then I have no problem with it.

Its a good look to keep the memory of Aaliah alive.

texas_sweety

I hope thats all it is a Rumor.


CW83

Ohh man, I hope this rumor is not true. Because that will be a terrible song if Ciara is on it. She needs to stick to dancing and copying Janet Jackson. Aaliyah deserves someone better if they are truly coming out with a new duet.


RAINBOWBRIGHT

Aaliyah = Legendary? I don't know about that one


blackdaddy1696

OH YEAH, I HERD THAT THEY ARE GETTING THE BLACK CHICK FROM THE GROUP CHETTAH GIRLS TO PLAY AaLIYAH IN THE UP COMING MOVIE.

Thats another good look.

[link to external website removed]


BklynRogue

And if Ciara does this, then she is the QUEEN (or King, depending on whats really between her legs) of All Swagger-Jackers! She stole her style, so she might as well do a song with her vocals.

I know Aaliyah doing a 1-2 Step in her grave.


missnellypoo

NOT SURE IF I LIKE THIS IDEA.

myspace.com/mizzsexythang27


sexyfrowns

hey why not. They along the same caliber in talent. But i think aaliyah might have been more well liked.


heavyweighta18

Thats my girl. Go head baby. I don't care if I'm 1st like these otha childish asses.


twingurl

That ought too be nice.


cotyroo

Good way to remember Aaliyah, since most of y'all forgot.


ohjazzydiva

I hope it sounds good.


Glamorous

This b!tch needs to sit her no singing ass down!


marlo

ciara's in japan touring she is not recording right now or planning to until march of next year and there is no such talk of an aaliyah duet. janet yes. aaliyah no.

and we all know beyonce will never be dethroned as the queen of swagger jackers.


vanilla_one

lmao @ Bklynnn

I don't know about this one! Maybe it will work but like someone else said, if Pac releasing albums every year...why not!!


Prettiebrown

Huge Aaliyah fan??? Maybe huge Aaliyah biter instead???



akechuk

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!!!!!!!!!!!


sierra714

i would probably cry recording that track. but i have to say this.................if aaliyah was still alive, there would be no ciara. sorry i just had to say that.lol.


officialbronxite

okaaaaaay.. so you jack her style now you wanna jack her vocals.. go ahead girl, that's your style!


niteowl

They don't call her the boot leg Aaliyah for nothing.


KEEYSHAJ50

WHY I DONT GET IT??? BUT I HEAR U OFFICIAL I REMEMBER WHEN ASHANTI WANTED TO DO THIS LOL.


VerySexy42

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!


c

I guess Styles P put it best!

"You can find cats dead in the ocean, they be alright tho because you kno dead artists get better promotion"!!! RIP Baby Girl but she wasnt the best singer and neither is Ciara but she was better than Ciara no doubt about it.


SherRoyal

SHE IS ALREADY THE AALIYAH WANNABE


ladyroc11433

First, She have to learn how to sing. Before she go and [EXPLETIVE] with Aaliyah song.


MrsMeToo

Aaliyah rolling in her grave...


Shay82

This better not be true. She needs to leave Aaliyah alone. Doing a song together will only make more people realize how much Ciara is copying her.


DramaKween

Now that makes me mad... I knew every since Ciara came out, she wanted to be JUST LIKE AALIYAH.... Ciara cant even sing. She's an amateur compared to Aaliyah. Ciara is a commercial artist. its not boosting her career, its making people realize the truth.


missrealtalk

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


missrealtalk

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...


buckcherry02

oops how is dat happening?! m waitin....

www.myspace.com/buckcherry02



email2michael

This is NOT going to work. I'm imagining Ciara stinking up some of Aaliyah's hits like Rock the Boat, I care for you or Are you that Somebody and ugh..makes me mad.

Ciara should just pass on this idea altogether.


whatididhesay

I loved Aaliyah as performer but not so much as a singer. I remember Aaliyah more for her dancing and not her singing. Ciara is the same to me....so why is she seeking out a duo? It probably won't be much of a memorable performance if she will just be singing.


PrettyBoi

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.


mack

ciara is not "bootleg" anybody she is ciara. and if the movie of aaliyah hasn't came out yet it probably won't. and this can't be true anyway if you ask me.


PimpJuice411

CIARA HAS TO SWAGGER JACK JANET AND AALIYAH CUZ SHE KNOWS SHE AINT [EXPLETIVE] ON HER OWN..SHE IS WACK AND SHE NEEDS TO STOP COPYING OFF AND TRYING TO BE LIKE OTHER ARTISTS SHE HAS NO BUSINESS TRYING TO BE LIKE.....BE YOUR OWN PERSON CICI!!!! DAYYYUUMMMMMM!


DionneLee

People are so fake! Everybody is talkin shyt now but I bet as soon as the song comes out (If its nice)everybody gonna be like "Aww that was hard "or "Ooh that was nice" And the video would more than likely be number 1 on TRL or 106. Meaning people want to see it. People are so fickle its funny.


PimpinNJ

HEY LET THE GIRL PAY HOMAGE TO HER IDOL THEN SO BE IT ...Y'ALL BE BUYING ALL THE FAKE PAC, BIGGIE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH RECORDS THAT COME OUT BITING STYLE SO LET HER DO THE DAMN THANG...BUT CIARA, YOU BETTER COME WITH IT, CAUSE IF THIS SH!T IS ASS CRACK...YOU WILL RUN AND HIDE FOREVER..!!!


NYCPRBOI

i'd rather Janet do the Aaliyah tribute or song other than Ciara.....Mama I Wanna Sing...but I CAN'T!!!!!


azanakamili

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!


azanakamili

BigGirlWorshipper:

Aaliyah moved nothing like Ciara. Ciara does your local street-stripper moves day in and day out. Aaliyah did actual choreography.


azanakamili

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!


gildersleeve

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


Ieshialicious

Ciara always reminded me of Aaliyah, so it wouldn't be a bad thing.


tohonest

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!!


Lynn1

How come MTO is obssesed with Ciara. I just don;t see the BIG deal where she is concerned?



travieboo7

WOW.....I HOPE ITS TRUE I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT


gildersleeve

ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK OR METH tohonest ? ARE YOU SERIOUS???? STIFF??? YOU NEVER WATCHED AALIYAH BECAUSE IF YOU DID YOU WOULD HAVE NOT MADE THAT COMMENT...YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT EVIDENTLY....YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET IN ON THE CONVO TO SEE YOUR NAME ON SCREEN....SHUTUP!


MrsPimptress

thats straight ciara a damn good singer and dancer...i would like to hear the legendary aaliyah sh*t its been a minute why not RIP


smitty254

yeah i think ciara is a better dancer but aaliyah is definetly better vocally..

*singing*

"im sending you a 4 page letter..."


TheReal_Ness

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.


REDBONE37

I think that would be nice... Especially since they both have some beautiful voices


jlove56

WHY NOT!.....I HOPE ITS GOOD THOUGH.....THEIR STYLES ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR!


LMadden1968

I love Aaliyah. Cici do it girl! Ciara is going to rise above everyone after that hit. I think people are going to hate, b/c we all know Aaliyah was one of the greatest. And to see Cici singing with her.. Its going to be a lot of envoius people putting on fake smiles.. Go CICI! I'm proud of you!


Nik0

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.


januaryreign

Oh please, I understood Natalie doing that, Nat was her father... but what is Ciara to Aaliyah? Nothing! She's an Aaliyah wannabe and never will. Don't think this will happen but if it does, Babygirl could be turning over in her grave. Ciara's a poor substitute because Aaliyah actually had TALENT.


mydogpoopstinks

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


Strwbrymuffin

I'm sure everyone would want to hear it. But wat makes aaliyah so great? If you ask me she was just a pretty face. Granted she had some good songs but they were not legendary. And Ciara is just as good as Aaliyah was. So would ya'll please take her off her high angel wings!!!


luvciara21

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.


mspansy

fashiondesigner

I don't like the idea, I think ciara should just leave it alone and make some other song.



innkogkneetow

ciarahusband

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]!!!!!!

NOW LOOK WHERE SHE @ AND LOOK WHERE U @ BITCH!!!! EN BODY GOT SUMTHIN 2 SAY HIT ME UP BIGX519@YAHOO.COM


LMadden1968

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,


LMadden1968

Ciara is not as pretty as Aaliyah though. I take that back. Aaliyah is prettier and still is prettier than all the girls in the game now. RIP Aaliyah, she's still the Queen


meee

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...


nici

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.


ra3-chow

THAT WOULD BE DESCENT


blackizbeautiful

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.


Babygirl4u

i miss aaliyah...


Rin246

I LOVE AALIYAH!!

Ciara that B*tch needs to stop. She is trying to be aaliyah and she needs to stop.


SoThenISaid

Aw, hellz naw!


soseductive23

If Aaliyah was alive there would definitely be NO Ciara. I liked Aaliyah because she was cool, but at the same time humble. Ciara is cocky as hell, and people are making her out to be more than what she really is. She can dance, but she is not Aaliyah.


hotboyjtc

lmao! o hell no! that bitch been trying to be aaliyah for so long!


Skibop

man ciara bet not do that. man Aaliyah deserves to be remembered in a duet wit somebody better than Ciara, another legend, like janet. They originally wanted to do a song together anyway. Ciara is just tryna capitalize offa Aaliyah, and replace Aaliyah. This duet should NOT happen at all.


kamlaijay

As Whitney says, hell to the naw!!! Ciara can't sing! WTF!!!



SthrnMsCiara

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!


nykie

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!!


nothingbutlove

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.


yourladya

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!!!!!


gildersleeve

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!


LadiiMiller31

Haterz, Haterz, Haterz!!!! I think ciara is a good artist,I think she should go for it!


MayaDoll

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.


foxyfoxy

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!!!!


gildersleeve

AMEN FOXYFOXY! YOU BETTER SAY IT GIRL! I TOTALLY AGREE...


Missmedia81

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.


SthrnMsCiara

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


hippiechic

No... Ciara. Not a good look. Leave Aaliyah's legacy alone.If Aaliyah was alive, there would BE no Ciara.


tohonest

@ 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!!


tohonest

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.

I cnt stand Aaliyah, she cnt even sing. She sound plain, ok. Ciara killin her


yesitsme

every1 knows Aaliyah had better vocal ability..her voice was smooth, beautiful, and soothing. ciara's is airy and flat. ciara just uses those crunk in the club beats to get people to like her, along with her dance moves. NEXT!

Shut the hell up coz Aaliyah sounds a MILLION times better than ciara, u must be tone deaf not to hear that Ciara sounds like shes grasping for air when she sings.
