EVERYONE HAS TO REALIZE THAT CIARA'S BIGGEST ISSUE IS AT THE START OF HER CAREER SHE WAS GIVIN' THE TITLE "QUEEN OF CRUNK".... CRUNK DIED OUT QUICK.. So put it together, u dig. PLUS, SHE KEPT CHRIS BROWN ON HER PROJECT AT THE WORST TIME IN HIS CAREER. AND THE ALBUM HAD ALOT OF FALSE STARTS!
WE ALREADY HAVE A "JANET".
WE ALREADY HAVE A "BEYONCE".
SO THAT IS ALOT OF WHAT HAD TO DO WITH CIARA'S DECLINE.
I think people have just figured out that they initally liked Ciara because she could dance and honestly...a lot of people can dance. I think people want to spend their money on quality music these days...hence Chrisette Michelle beating her out. Wish her the best but I have never bought one of albums and I never will.
The only reason this album flopped was because it was all over the place. If you go on Itunes the most popular song on there is that ssong with Chris Brown Turntables. That song isn't even a single and it broke the top 10 in R&B face it her album sucked and that was the only good song on there.
I mean *** thats not a good look if his fans are the only one buying your CD no wonder it flopped her little fans realized she was trying to be a pop star and bounced.

Wow, I like Ciara, but I am kind of confused as to what she is REALLY trying to do with her music now. And YES, that album cover is horrible!! She definitely needs new management. I think she would still have a chance. I live in ATL and she is not even promoting her album here like I would think she would be.

some people are saying how is she a flop when she is number 3, well if there are only 3 people competing and she fell in 3rd place, then i call it a flop. especially if she has been out longer then the other two. but i do believe ciara's sales will increase as soon as her touring starts. thank goodness she was smart enough to go the modeling route.
I'm sorry but Ciara album is GARBAGE! I like the surgery song cus it's sexy! But I couldn't listen to the whole thing CUS THE BISH CAN'T SING TO SAVE HER LIFE!!!
CIARA YOU ARE A SMART GIRL! PLEASE GO GET YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE AND LEAVE THIS R&B ISH ALONE!!! U HAVE OFFICIALLY FELL THE *** OFF THE MAP!!! TIME TO RELOCATE!! GIRL GET LOST!
PLEASE!
Well considering that BEYONCE has MONOPOLIZED the BLACK female R & B, pop game, Ciara doesn't stand a chance. Po' thang. But like I said Ciara doesn't have too much going for her besides her dance moves. After that there is nothing else. She's skinny, average looking, and dark. Unfortunately no one is checking for dark skinned women although I think Ciara and Kelly have potential to be successful in music.
GETTIN ALL UP ON JUSTIN DIDNT HELP. YOU THINK THE LITTLE WHITE GIRLS FACKING WIT HER AFTER SHE FREAKED THE HELL OUT THAT BOY. HE PULLED JANET BREAST OUT SHE CANT SELL NO MORE. BLACK WOMEN MAKE SMARTED MOVES GO THE DENZEL ROUTE DONT CONTINUE TO BE CHATTEL. ALOT OF WHITE GIRLS SUPPORT BEYONCE JUST LIKE THE WHITE BOYS SUPPORT LITTLE WAYNE DONT DISRESPECT THEM.
BAD PROMOTION,NO POWERFUL SINGLES AND THE WORST THING OF THEM ALL,IT SEEMS LIKE SHE'S TRYIN A LIL 2 HARD,LIKES SHE'S TRYIN 2 CHANNEL JANET JACKSON OR SOMETHING.I STILL LIKE HER THO,JUST WISHED THEY WOULD'VE PROMOTED IT BETTER.BESIDES,EVERYBODY CD ISN'T GONNA DO GOOD ALL THE TIME,THIS MIGHT JUST BE HER MISS,SHE AINT DONE!!!!!
Mto,*** up with that nonsense. it ain't like that's all she's gonna sell. she will sell more as she continues to release singles from the album. look at micheal jackson. Thriller didn't sell very well until the release of thriller,which was like the 3rd single released from the album. after he dropped that single,the album began to sell like hot cakes. Thriller is now the BIGGEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME! so,it's all about waiting for the right single to hit the radio. she still has a chance to sell more albums.
WELL IF CIARA'S MANAGEMENT COMPANY BOUGHT 300,000 COPIES LIKE BEYONCE'S MANAGEMENT DID THEN YOU PEOPLE WOULD BE SUPPORTING HER NO MATTER WHAT....LOSERS!
BEYONCE MUSIC IS GARBAGE WHETHER OR NOT SHE SOLD RECORDS...STILL DON'T BELIEVE THAT ONE...KARMA IS CATCHING HER UGLY ***.
CIARA MUSIC IS GARBAGE, WOULDN'T CARE IF SHE SOLD A MILLION IN THE FIRST WEEK, SHE'LL STILL BE GARBAGE
KERI HILSEN IS GARBAGE.....GARFIELD LOOKING ***
RIHANNA IS COOL, EVEN THOUGH SHE CAN'T SING AND CAN'T WRITE, CAN'T DANCE.....SHE'S COOL
ASHANTI IS MY FAVORITE.........SHE'S THE BEST......WHO CARES ABOUT RECORD SALES HER MUSIC IS THE TRUTH.
I BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE MORE INTO PROMOTION THAN THE MUSIC...WHICH IS SAD.
I am a Ciara fan because I love dancers but I'm not inpresses with that cover or the second single. She has also deviated from the formula that she used in her second album. She was exciting and explosive in her vids on her second album. I loved the collab with chamillionare. Sorry guys but those cornroll make HIM look masculine. I can't even refer to him as a girl with that cover. He (Ciara) should find new management but at least he's better than bedonkey.
Chrisette Michelle - Epiphany" (Def Jam) debuts atop the list with 83,000. She edges out the seventh week of the "Hannah Montana: the Movie" soundtrack (No. 2 with 82,000) and the arrival of Ciara's third album "Fantasy Ride" (LaFace) at No. 3 with just under 81,000.
So that's the good news. The bad news? Michele's opening of 83,000 is the lowest sum for a No. 1-debuting album in Nielsen SoundScan's 18-year history
Travis Flag post Floppin is Ashanti. Who by the way probably isn't even on the *** list. 3rd isn't the best but you are in the game... Fred are you jealous? It doesn't suit you envy is for females bruh. cut it out...
actually Ashanti sold more than ciara the first week, and she's platinum now.....
and besides how many people albums came out on that date...not many so of course she's going to be in the top 5 because no one really was out....so that's really not saying anything!
i mean i could understand floppinq to miley cyrus - she qot every kids && their parents savings in her pocket from her show & merchandise- but chrisette??? i mean thts my girl && she can sanq but if you can outsell her with all thaa *** you promotinq then somethinqs wronq hahahahahaha. Maybe pushinq the album back wasnt a qood idea afterall
One thing we all adore Something worth dying for Nothing but pain Stuck in this game Searching for fortune and fame (FAME)
Searching for fortune and fame Lost in the rain A lose of the game With life the cost of the game We forcing the change Mother f.u.c.*** flossing the chain
All the blame Belongs to the part of the brain
I remember back in the 90's it was about the quality in music, the words and so on, now a days it's all about who sells the most, selling more than others does not mean quality. What happen to real music? And why does selling more matter?
CURRENCY MEANS NOTHING IF YOU STILL NOT FREE (MENTALLY)-- TUPAC SHAKUR
I have a question for all of you.
What do you guy's look for the most in an artist?
Is it the way the person sings? Is it the way the person dances? Is it the personality in the individual? Is it the lyrics in the song? Is it the way you express your words when singing?
Are is it all the above?
Just curious!
For me I always prefer the way an artist express themselves when singing and the lyrical ability in the music that the artist writes. I really don't care how high a person sings or how well they dance. But I guess the majority is into that. But hey, to each is own!
Top 3 isn't a failure, maybe in a society where folks just care about being #1 but the whole mu-sick industry sales are down due to the recession- folks just don't have that disposable income to spend.
Alot of mu-sick today is just plain wack and full of symbolic Baphomet ideology from Country to Hip Hop(Hip Pop/rap in the mainstream) and everthing inbetween as you have to sell your soul and give up bodily control.
Ciara danced so nasty and whorish on SNL...that was just uncalled for...Hollywood make them Black entertainers act like ***...the whyte girls don't do that...Brittany Spears was the only one...because Hollywood considers her whyte trash...so they allowed her to make a fool of herself...Ciara is not growing with her music...she too *** old to be on stage with her legs spread all open the way she did on SNL...then all the horse/donkey hair weave...she needs to take her tall *** to the runway and call it a day...I will never buy her CD's...real talk...
Why is everyone saying Ciara is trying to be something she's not. Ciara has always been SEXY from the moment she came on the seen. The only reason she did not wear heels before was because of Bow Wow. Once she got rid of his whack ***, she could do her. Sooner or later you guys had to know she would grow out of the jeans, tennis shoes, flat boots, and cropped jackets. Oh yeah, now every other female you see is wearing that like Keri Hilson and Rihanna. Ciara already did that. Beyonce is biting Ciara's style,you can trace it all the way back to the Goodies album.
Beyonce and Destiny Child started dressing like Ciara and doing her dance moves. You will first notice it in the video "Soldier" from Destiny Child and then it continues from there. Nobody is trying to be Beyonce, for what. Beyonce has no style, her weaves are ragedy, and she is aging terribly. The way she hated on Jennifer Hudson shows just how selfish and stuck up she really is. Ciara is the baddest female in the game as far as looks and dancing, she has that on lock.
For all ya'll talking about Rihanna, she still don't have nothing on Ciara. Her first couple of cds didn't even sell, she didn't even go platinum and that's why Jay-Z and Def Jam were about to get rid of her. Unbrella didn't even sell her Good Girl Gone Bad album, it took that albums months before it became platinum. Ciara will be fine, her first 2 cds sold over 7 million copies that alone has surpassed Rihanna and Chrisette album sells off of all their albums combined. This album will be okay, and she won't have to RE-RELEASE it for it to platinum like a lot of other artist do.
