Remember good old times when Ciara was singing "Looking for the goodies keep on looking coz they stay in the jar"? Well, now we know that goodies are out. CC fell below the see level for me, when "Ride" video feat. Ludacris came out. Now I never thought Ciara was a good singer - very weak voice, not much variation. But she did have some good songs in the beginning. Now, when Keri Hilson, Rihanna and Beyonce are killing it, CC fades more than ever. And desperate times require desperate measures. I always thought she was a talented dancer, routines from "Like a Boy" or "Get up" were precise and entertaining. In "Ride" she lost me even on that one... 4 minutes of "dancing" consists of grinding hip moves and pelvic thrusts. Not only she sings "I can do it big, I can do it long,I can do whenever or however You want", emphasizing MALE pleasure, but in this video she also presents "every man's" conventional cheesy fantasy - grinding,riding the bull in WET WHITE T with NO bra (!! could not get less creative than that), wearing a swimsuit that almost reveals her well waxed vagina. Oh and yeah, what's up with the gum twisted on the finger??? Classy much? Oh and of course then she is all over Luda like a video vixen - smh.
Anyway, I really don't like hating on other women. And I believe that Ciara can do waaaay better. Hopefully, she will realize that if you don't sell, even braless wet white tanks won't help. Meanwhile, I will be listening to good ole "Goodies", until good ole CC comes back.
