Ciara: Fast and Furious
Merely five years since her debut – and with two platinum albums to show for it – 23-year-old Ciara is back and looking to rebrand herself as a bigger and brighter pop star with her third album, Fantasy Ride. With a new electro sound, a sexier strut and a gang of successful songwriters, producers and guest vocalists at her disposal, the Austin, Texas-born Atlanta representative is now walking the path of diva and music-video star – like Janet and Beyonce before her – yet the making of C’s Fantasy Ride has been filled with twists, turns and false starts.
“The timing last year was just not right,” Ciara explains about the yearlong delay. “So we pulled back and made sure everything was perfect for the listener.”

Cici’s a beautiful girl but the photos are terrible. It looks like someone took them with a polaroid camera. #5 pic is beautiful though
yungward_1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re a cancer thats why you’re so crabby. I’m about to put your foolish ass on Blast! How dare you come at me with that cici bizness knowing that I’m The Queen OF BEYONCE STANS!? You need to slap yourself for all the things you just said. Where do I start? Ciara is killing Beyonce?????????????? Beyonce has always killed Ciara. Beyonce sold 482′000 copies in 1 wk while C has sold 81′000 lmao B is using music stores to sell her albums. C is using KFC to sell her albums. B is innovative every year. C is always jocking her style. B has a 110 international date Tour. C has a 10 show tour opening act for jayz and britney spears, let me repeat opening act! B can dance her ass off! Have you seen single ladies? Id rather dance like Beyonce than dance all hiphop and crunk and masculine and clowny like ciara. You should take time to listen to bees music you will find that it is very meaningful and touching. What is so interesting about ciaras music? I dont feel anything she puts out there. she cant sing and doesnt now how to sing with emotion and passion. Janets music might be old news but not her concerts!!!!!!!!!!! If you had money to go see janets show back in ‘08 you would see she still gots that fire. Stop hating on the best! IN MY BRILLIANT OPINION I THINK YOU ARE A FOOL TO SAY CIARA IS BETTER THAN BEYONCE AND JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET REAL BUDDY! GO GET UR EARS AND EYES AND BRAIN CHECKED! LOL CIARA IS A NOBODY. SHE WILL NEVER BE BIG. MARK MY WORDS! CALL ME WHEN SHE WINS A AWARD FOR ANYTHINGGGGGGGGGGG LMAO YOU CIARA STANS ARE RIDICULOUS A JOKE! BEYONCE STANS ARE THE BEST. WE ONLY SUPPORT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOST TALENTED MOST AMBITIOUS MOST HARD WORKING MOST AMAZING MOST ACCOMPLISHED MOST SUCCESSFUL MOST BLESSED MOST CREATIVE WOMAN IN THE WHOLE MUSIC INDUSTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT TALK GARBAGE TO ME GO STICK UR DUMB HEAD IN A TOILET!
I dont agree wit you vancouver Hurts, she is killing Beyonce. Beyonce cant even dance. She be biting everybody else style too. She was salty J. Hudson got more credit and attention from Dream Girls. Ciara is cold as f^ck in dancing and Beyonce wish she could dance that good. All Of “Queen Bee” videos are the same nothing original or interesting her music is even Blah she need to take K. Hilson advice and go have some babies or sit down cause she fading. She dont even write her own music for real. Not saying “Ci-Ci” does but at least she dont lie like she write it her self. And she got the cover of GIANT cause they recognize talent. stop hating and give credit when credit is due. Not taking away from Beyonce past achievements but thats what they are. And she not trying to be Janet. She is who she is Ciara. You wanna be Beyonce and Janet. Stop hating. Janet is old news. Come better next time!
CICI will never be better than janet or BEYONCE. its funny how shes tryna do everythin beyonce does now…her music videos, her style, the afro, the robot outfit, the ellen show appearance, big promotions, and now the giant magazine cover!!!!!!! wow its nice to see so many stars who are inspired from the queen bee herself
