The press is calling her the new Janet.I just don't see it.I'm not hating on her,I just think she looks goofy when she dances.She's doing the moves but she's not graceful.It's kind of like Marlon Jackson when he released his solo album and would try to dance like Michael.Can U relate?

If they mean she can't sing either, then I agree.

What press? The garlic press?

The first time I saw her dance was in the video My Goodies and I thought she looked krazy. Then in the 1-2 Steppy thing… I don’t get it. She still looks krazy and the song is trite. Her movements are a bit odd. Maybe because she has long limbs? Whatever it is, it doesn’t come off pretty. No matter how ‘hard’ the choreography was Aaliyah always looked graceful. Aside from her, others have moments and the rest lack it completely. Ciara is far from Janet. The media just likes to shove people off the stage and put the spotlight on the next in line whether they're ready or not.

Everybody is the "new" somebody nowadays. If anything, these tags are just going to come back to haunt people.

Ciara is a good dancer, but Janet is so far better than her... What she does, Janet does it ten times better than her. Ciara only tries to emulate Janet like Usher and Timberlake try to emulate Michael Jackson....

Maybe she's one of Janet's secret children?

Ciara isn't anywhere near Janet's level. I like the songs she's released and the album's ok. When I've seen her on perform on TV, she's so focued on dancing, that she stops singing, or lip-synching just so that she can shake. Plus, Ciara always looks like she struggling to get something off of her when she dances. Not a pretty site to me.

i'm afraid i'm gonna have to put my 2 cents in for a moment. as a professionally trained dancer, i happen to think ciara is a great dancer! her moves are kind of abstract for hip hop. it's not the usual run of the mill shit that they usually do and i think it's cool. she might not be as good janet but she's still very good and has her own style. i haven't seen a female artist move like that since.....er....janet!

Look at ya'll old farts hatin'...AGAIN....


When I first heard goodies, my thought was that it could have easily been a Janet song.

To be honest, as critical as ppl are nowadays about artist, Janet, Madonna and others would not make it.

She's a good dancer. And LIMBER! She's definitely more freestyle then Janet.

Am I the only one who is unable to hear the word "limber" without thinking about "Like I Love U" by Justin Timberlake?
I actually think I've heard more people talking about how she's the next Aaliyah rather than Janet.
In any event, Ciara can take her goodies and her jacked up grill and 1, 2 step her ass right back into obscurity for all I care. Toodles!

She has got a good start, but word is album is strictly average ashanti type shit.....so average but nothing to get existed about.

i hate to be one to promote rumors but the one about ciara having man parts has defininitly been going around my school for at least a month. seems sort of fishy tho...

Rhondab said:

funny when I first heard that song I thought it was Janet....

Ciara is not a good dancer. There is something very strange about her dancing. Her dancing feels forced. The other dancers in the video have better rhythm than she does.

In the hood, she would have a friend who would tell her to stop trying so hard.

Yeah, I've heard this too. She does look a little masculine, come to think of it.
