    For some reason Beyonce looks respectable even when she’s almost naked. Ciara just looks like a stripper. lol

  • CIARA IS NOW THE NEW QUEEN

    WHAT A SHAME,CIARA RUN OUT OF IDEA AND IS NOW COPYING BEYONCE,JUST TO GET HER RECORD SELL,BEYONCE AIN’T GOING TO LIKE THIS ONE,WORST LIKE HOW THE VIDEO LOOKS BETTER THAN HERS………..I think this WAS A BAD IDEA………..

    Quel: And therein lies the truth that separates the stars from the also-rans. Beyonce, Rihanna, and JLo before them can pull off sexy without looking cheap. While Ciara and the second and third level singers end up looking whorish.
    So it does not matter if Ciara copies Beyonce or Beyonce copies Ciara–Beyonce will always come out the WINNER. lol Ciara needs to go back to her own style and leave the “diva” stuff alone. She can’t compete in the lane she’s trying to drive in right now.

    Ugggh. Overzealous super-fans. I tell ya. Personally, I can see how y’all get all caught up in these comparisons. I like both Beyonce & Ciara for what they both bring to the table. Its like why people compare Ne-Yo to Usher. Fans of music these days don’t know how to act because personally there’s no real love for any one particular artist. Everything is forgotten weeks after the initial release in favor of ‘the next best thing”. In this case its cause Ciara just released a sexy new track & smoking hot video with Justin Timberlake. I’m kinda shocked none of y’all have pointed how how Beyonce appeared on Justin’s “Until The End of Time” Remix back in 2007, so i guess Ciara stole that from B too? Ho bout Jive knows CiCi’s first few atempts to launch this new album flopped (“Go Girl” anyone??) & since Jive’s resident superstar R.Kelly ain’t so super right now, they lined up their other heaviest hitter,JT to help their artist out. Y’all need to look past blogs & see the bottom line: MONEY.

    Gosh, does any one remember when Ciara sang “away in the manger”. She was cracking and salivating at the mouth during that Christmas special for President Bush. Gosh, I can’t believe they still allow her to make music. She is a flop. The video is a joke.

    For those Beyonce fans crying afoul, “Ego” is going to feature Mr. Kanye West cause again, as I just said, “I Am…Sasha Fierce” dropped ALLLLLLL THE WAYYY BACKKKK in Nov. (4 months ago, SHEESH!) so she’s no longer the ‘next best thing’, so when the now, oft-delayed “Fantasy Ride” album drops May 5th, beyonce is going to be releasing an “Ego” Remix with one of Justin’s few competitors who makes undeniable hits, Kanye West. Its all about staying relevant, which they’re doing by getting y’all to talk all ignorant about whichever artist you don’t like more. & AGAIN, I reiterate a comment I made 2 weesk ago when Kelly Clarkson’s album dropped. Her track #6 “Already gone” is THE SAME exact production as Beyonce’s “Halo”. Kelly & Beyonce are BOTH on Sony BMG, so I think Beyonce jacked the track & rush released “Halo” to pop stations as her follow up to “If I Were a Boy” knowing Kelly’s album with a similiar track was dropping at the top of ’09. Haterz can HATE but should get their facts str8

  • Let me state facts.

    One.
    Ciara obvioyusly got “inspiration” from Beyonce, but this is just down right playderism. Beyonce may “jack” a few things,taking ideas from dresses, or hair styles but that is not “jacking”
    Two.
    Beyonce did not copy Ciara’s “Like a Boy” Ciara’s Like a Boy song is nothing compared to the worldwide hit “If I were a boy” And the videos are hardly even similar. Beyonce did copy Lady Gaga in the “Diva” music video because others have made videos as such.
    And three.
    “Beyonce Steals!”
    Get your facts correct please, I haven’t heard or read Beyonce saying her inspirations are: Ciara, or even Rihanna! Beyonce is on a nother level then them 2.

  • mya

    2 me it dosent matter i like both of them and i think sasha fierce is a good alubum all of her albums is good 4 the girl taht said that and so is all of ciaras album 2 so thier no reason 2 get mad at ths stuff and i think both of them are divas

  • alyssa cooper

    I DON’
    T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REALIZE THAT THERE ARE 500 VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE OF RIHANNA AKA BAJAN BEYONCE AKA BEYONCE CLONE COPYING BEYONCE FROM 2005- EARLY 2007. WHY DO YOU THINK SHE HAD TO DEFEND HERSELF BY CHOPPING OFF HER HAIR. SO WHY WOULD BEYONCE NOW COPY THE WOMAN WHO WAS CLONED AFTER HER?

  • DetectiveBooby

    Could we all be arguing about anything more stupid? I don’t know if it is possible.

  • karma

    Forget riahnna copying Beyonce! Or Beyonce copying Rihanna. That’s a dead end cause, bottom line, both Rihanna and Beyonce have their own lanes now. You cannot interchange one with the other.
    The top dogs are Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Rihanna. You may like one more than the other, but the fact is, those three sell the most CDS and have the most #1s. Ask somebody.
    And then there’s Ciara. Instead of trying to find her own lane, she is trying to be Beyonce. I’m actually starting to get embarrassed for the chile. I mean, she was ALL IN Justin’s face with it and he looked like ho-hum, what else is new! lol

  • Janet

    Well I Like Beyonce as well as Ciara. Also neither one of them know any of us, so who really cares if one is copying the other. As long as they keep making hits, that’s all that really matters!

  • BJohnson

    I admit to talking about Ciara getting those glasses and taking that scene from “Hey Big Spender” from Sweet Charity. Yep, Beyonce has done her Fosse too, but the bottom line about Ciara’s video is it is not good. Whoever did her video had one target audience in mind…horny boys, and i guess horny lesbians. I actually was uncomfortable watching it cause it’s not a video for me. I at least thought hey Justin will dance with Ciara, that’ll be cool to see (cause I’m definately not watching for her singing, sorry Ciara fans). I didn’t even get a Justin/Ciara dance! So the video will get the hype for the “copying” and the excessive grinding and licking, it’ll get the publicity that’ll make this single a hit since the first one didn’t crossover to mainstream. Her publicity people knew darn well what they were doing when this video was conceived, I applaud them because we’re all sitting here talking about it. Mission accomplished.
