So I'm pretty sure Ciara just snagged Video of the Year...

[Re:★]

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.

The song itself isn't amazing, but I still like it. The video is what's gonna get this song top 5 imo! Womanizer may have competition.

[emi♡]

man....

all i know is, she is damn flexible.

and i saw a yamaha in there (pretty sure)

[♥ you!]

nooo she has like officially replaced Janet Jackson

I'm excited for her new album, I loved The Evolution.

[bondingo]

Wow, that was impressive. The song wasn't amazing, but it was better than anything I've heard from her in awhile, so hopefully her new album's good.

[Luv ~Venus~]

The video is cool. I liked it but I'm not feel'n the song. I did like the chair sigment. Mad kewl. lol I wish could do some of the moves she does.....sadly I'm afraid to dip too low. ()

As for the video of the year, I have to see Brit's and Beyonce's new video before making that decision.

Well ever since Janet.."left" there hasn't really been anyone like her yet. Ciara is like exactly the same.

1) Limited vocal ability (not necessarily a bad thing)
2) a high concept look
3) crazy dance and choreography

This is the video that Janet should have came out with earlier this year. I pretend she hasn't released any music since All For You in 2001.

Good! At least Ciara knows that if the song isn't amazing the video should be. She did the same thing for 'Like a Boy' and created a lot of buzz of that song. We haven't seen Womanizer so let's wait for that.

XD Don't know why since I didn't like it at first.

(sorry Triple D! )

Hip 'n kewl is not meant to be liked... it's meant to take over you're brain until you can't stop using it! Duh~!

Anyway, I LOVE diz video!

[bernardation]

the song bored me to death

[Princess Sohee]

This video is terrible I cant see anything!!

[CoriKaru]

"Video of The Year"? This Music Video was nothing special, I pray to God this doesn't get video of the year because if it does, that means we've had a pretty rough year. And I thought it would be a new song, but this song has been out for a while. I forgot all about it. Not all that memorable. I liked some of Ciara's singles in the beginning but could care less about her now. Especially now that I know she can't sing.

I'd say it's a very bad thing when the profession you've chosen depends on your VOCAL ABILITY.

But rather then "limited", I've come to the conclusion that she has "NO" vocal ability. If not for the dancing, she'd have no career.

[♥ you!]

Her weak vocals work with her songs. That video isn't the best example cause the song isn't good lol. Not everyone has to have a voice like Christina or Celine, Ciara's voice isn't THAT bad.
She could be like this

My favorite part is when the DJ says "y'all know the words!" and no one sings along

[Halla]

whoa, I really like this video. it's so chic & the dance moves are some of the best I've seen in awhile.

I personally like the song, I would like it more if it didn't had T-Pain. his ramblings are annoying.
the best Ciara single since "Promise"

I'm interested in her upcoming album. wiki says it'll have a interesting 3-disc themed concept.

In certain situations, LIP SYNCING is acceptable, heck in some cases it's PREFERABLE. Then again, when the back up singers are the only ones singing...............

Yeah. Even so, Ciara is about on par with "this one" if you ask me. Between them, they both lose.

Sometimes you wonder why some "posers" just don't turn down TV Performances. I don't think they have to. And of course they want to promote their stuff, but why be counter productive and Sing Live, prove to us that you really can't sing, thus not really getting people to buy your stuff.

Better to let your video and the digitized vocals sell your stuff when you can't sing.

Not to mention that's one of those songs, whether you can sing or not, that's just not made for Live Performances, like Robin Thicke's "Lost Without You".

LMAO! wth, why doesn't she speak up, no one can even hear her singing!

About Ciara's video:
It's not a bad video, but it really ain't good either.... Ok, her dancing IS amazing, but she should have lost the lame looking wig, it looks really bad since you can see it's not her hair from an airplane.
Then comes the part with the REALLY bad plastic outfit that looks terrable and made me go WTF??????
But i'll give it a thumb up for making me laugh at the first scene with the bike XD
it soooo made her look like she farted XD hahahahaha
the part with her in normal clothes and with her natural long curly hair was eyecandy for me^^

About the Cassie (or whatever that girl's name is):
that girl REALLY can't sing man!! i could hear the crowds whispers in the back more than i heard her so called "singing". The only reason she was able to become a "singer" was due to her awesome face and body.
She had to sleep around A LOT in order to get singed by a record company.

Really? That's funny because I recall this being the most recent song Ciara has released. And the video debuted a few hours before I made this thread.

I smell a hater. ;/

^I agree, that song is not old. There was about a month between the song leak and the video release.

[No_Doubt]

The original demo of the song ("Hood Girl") leaked like forever ago, and I think the final version leaked at least a month or two ago. I could be mistaken though.

Anywho, I love the video, very slick. In my opinion Ciara is talented not only for her dancing abilities, as I actually really like her vocals. Though she's hardly a vocal powerhouse, she always has a really cool, collected, and unforced delivery to her vocals that makes her singing quite likeable and very listenable, something a lot her otherwise technically stronger competitors lack.

As for the song, I'm rather pleased this was finally chosen as first single, although it's nothing earth-shattering. "Work" was absolutely awful, and though I personally LOVE "High Price", I think it would polarize most listeners, so "Go Girl" is the smartest choice.

^It first leaked on a radio station on September 2nd.
