I totally agree with you about this video being crap/nonsense, but I don't understand the bolded part. How is she "unwoman-like?"

But since we know that the next time Beyonce starts crawling around and poking her tits out it's going to hit number one I won't wait for that day.

If they stopped playing music made by criminals, it wouldn't be no damn music...'cept for that holy-rolling, Jesus-freak, Jehovahfied...and come to think of it, even some of that music would be gone because half of it is "reformed sinners" telling their stories as well. It'd be all SNora Jones, all the time!

Seriously, BET only has 106th and Park as a video format, right? (I don't watch it anymore, so I don't know). Maybe a couple of other video shows?
Anyay, like Mtv, its not mostly music anymore. 106th & Park is not the place for that kind of video (as well as half the other shit they play that charts) but I'm sure pushing the envelope is not something they want to do these days.
VH1 Soul plays the video often and they are owned by Viacom, who also owns BET, MTv, VH1, etc. I can't say I'm mad at them for not playing it. There are a lot of songs they probably shouldn't be playing that they do anyway. If anything, they should do MORE editing and reserve some space after Prime time for those videos to air.

I think Ciara is a cute woman but she has almost ZERO femine qualities. It is hard 2 explain but she does nothing 4 me. She reminds me of that black female comic, I forget her name. She has those same qualities and actually sort of looks like Ciara.

well that's what happens when you dub yourself the 'Princess of Crunk'...
I like the chorus tho. I may have heard it in a mix at a club, had no idea it was Ciara.

Graycap23 said:

Wanda Sykes. I thought they were related.


Maybe Ciara is a lesbian in the closet and that's why her femininity seems contrived.

Actually. I think she's just a tomboy type. People used to say the same thing about Left Eye from TLC. She was deemed too athletic/boyish and not girly or sexy like T-Boz and Chili.

DesireeNevermind said:

Wanda.....that is her name.

Lisa was definitely a woman though. There is something about Ciara that throws me off.

dseann said:

I thought maybe he was trying to say she acts like a dude somehow, or, as I've heard other guys say, looks like a man or something because of her very slight muscle tone (she's really not that "muscular" like people say, lol, just is tall with cool wide shoulders), which, either way, is unfair to say. I wasn't even thinking about him alluding to her being a transsexual. So, that's why I asked for a little clarification.

Graycap23 said:

R U serious?
Ciara is pretty. Wanda Sykes looks like the bottom of someone's shoe.

WaterInYourBath said:

Didn't this whole tranny rumor start because American Ciara got confused with a real life Irish tranny who also went by the name Ciara and was a singer? there is a 20 year age difference between the two but the Irish Ciara had the sex change in '99 - 5-6 years before our Ciara bursts on the scene.

phunkdaddy said:

Yes I'm serious. Neither of them carry themselves like a woman. At least not 2 me.

DesireeNevermind said:

I don't even know, but that's kinda funny. Quite ludicrous.

As far as the whole gay thing, people used to say the same stuff about Alicia. "Oh, she's just so masculine, etc; she must like women." I've never looked at either of them as being lesbians, but people will think what they want.

WaterInYourBath said:

Ciara will have to marry, push out a rug rat and divorce before people will believe she's a hetero bonafide woman. You almost have to feel bad for her. Career not what it used to be since the days of "my goodies", an ex-boyfriend who believed and helped perpetuate a tranny rumor about you, a failed relationship with Fiddy Cent and now a BET snub. Can it get any worse?

This is what's causing all this. Nothing dike about this hot
piece of ATL punany.

DesireeNevermind said:

Didn't they say the same thing about Alicia Keys? Now she's stealing husbands and shit. I'd be careful about calling women "tomboy" from here on in.

dseann said:

Alicia comment....

Wanda Sykes looks like her mama.

I agree entirely. She's a very pretty woman, and yet something about her is altogether without any feminine allure to me.

True. True.

lol..........I like the video, but........I'm having mixed feelings on why an artist would do this.

Because nobody would give a shit about her and wouldn't buy her music if she didn't do stuff like this. Basically, she has very littl real talent.

this chick is no Aretha singer, but she is hands down one of the best dancers the industry has ever seen!

I have to agree. Might not like the song, but when I saw the video I was amazed at the sheer muscle control this child has. What she is doing in this video is not an easy task at all and takes discipline and hard work to be able to train to move this way. She should give up singing and embark on a career as a choreographer as that is where her true talent lays.

You'd be surprised how many trannies have bodies to die for.
