Does Ciara Lipsynch At Concerts ?

Here's one reviewer's comments:
While Ciara’s songs were accompanied by solid dancing by both she and her backup dancers, she appeared to be mouthing the words to a backup track through a number of tunes.
I think we should have all decided that if we are going to be fans of pop music we would 'suspend disbelief' as far as singing/lipsynching. Look at all those happy wrestling fans.

Will Ciara Follow In Britney And Christina's Dirty Footsteps ?



First thing, if you are doing a google image search for Ciara, DON"T click on the pic from xanga.com, it'll freeze your window.

Ciara has maintained a relatively clean image so far in her career. A Vibe article has this comment:
In her videos and performances, Ciara consciously keeps her legs covered because she says she wants to “grow into” a grown and sexy look.
This got me wondering if her career is going to take the the same path as Britney Spears and Christina Aquilera. They both cashed in on supposed innocence until it started to get old, then they went all out skanky.

Christina came out the other side of things with her self respect and integrity intact. Britney...not so much.

Ciara Lays Tracks For Jackson Charity Single

The only celebrities laying down tracks for Michael Jackson's charity single are Snoop Dogg, Ciara and Shirley Caesar. Hopefully some money will end up going to hurricane victims, but the very best thing that'll come out of this is that it will be become obvious that using charity as an excuse to whore yourself out for attention is getting old. It's ironic that Snoop Dogg glorifies pimps and pretends to be one, but is in fact a 'ho'.

Maybe Ciara Should Tour With Hilary Duff Instead Of Twista

"Ciara was great," Debbie Green said. "But we didn't stay for Twista. We didn't think that was appropriate for a nine-year old."

Wise choice, Twista lyrics are definitely R rated. In fact, the Birmingham Music Festival removed Twista from their list of performers after the Jefferson County Commission threatened to withhold $200,000 of funding for the festival because of the rapper's lyrics.

Ciara is Reportedly Onboard For The Michael Jackson Lead Hurricane Release Single

Michael Jackson's publicist said eight performers including Ciara have agreed to join him for a song to benefit hurricane Katrina victims. Many of the named artist's publicists say it's 'too soon' to say they are committed

The whole idea sounds like the Simpsons episode where the celebrities recorded a single for the fictitious little boy trapped in a well. Please everyone, give straight to the Red Cross or other effective groups that are already at work in the affected States.

Missy Makes Ciara Rap

Missy Elliot says the toughest part of making 'Lose Control' record was not getting Ciara to hit the high notes, it was convincing her to rap.

"It was funny because Ciara don't rap and I had her rapping," Missy laughed. "She was like, 'Is this gonna sound messed up? My fans are gonna be mad.' I told her to just do it and if it sounds crazy, I won't put it up there.

"When me and Ciara get in the lab, it's all about us listening to a record to see if it makes us dance," she added. "We both like to dance. When I heard '1, 2 Step,' I immediately felt it. When I did 'Lose Control,' soon as I heard it, I was like, 'The only person who can pull something off with me [on this track] is Ciara, because it's a record with speed.' When we get in there it's about finding the hot dance step."
