Pop, Rock and Country females get the better videos, 3x more promotions, better stages for their tours and receive far more inside industry respect, even though our divas sell just as much! We don't have to like Beyonce, RiRi, Mariah, Ashanti or Ciara, but try to at least take a stand in the blogesphere when they are being dissed by folks such as Madonna, Simon Cowell and TV network executives! Not to get off the subject, but this does relate to Ciara! Cici you were more Janet than Madonna anyways and she probably knew that, but still no excuse! Keep going Ciara; you are one of our young starlets!

Also too, considering the "chilly, first time greeting" that Madonna recently gave Ciara at the MET Costume Gala is more reason why we need to begin supporting our R&B divas a bit more! CiCi had told her how she influenced her and the diva of all divas, Madonna gave Ciara the cold shoulder in her face! I somewhat applauded Madonna for adopting children from Africa, but I have come to the conclusion that Madonna has and continues to be intimidated by our R&B divas, young and old, over the course of her career! She publically loves Britney, Miley, Pink and Christina, but our R&B young divas are not on her lists! No wonder her arch rival Janet is not willing to meet her after all these years and she still disses Mariah publically as well! Diana, Mary J., Gladys, Natalie, Whitney and Beyonce have NOT been fond of her in many interviews over the years and I see why!

*bows down* SAM, i like you :)

Nobody's really selling right now; especially R&B based artists! Ciara has proven herself as a hellified live performer as compared to her pop counterparts; who can't dance and show up drunk or high to rehearsals! These award show producers know that she is credible and reliable, plus she is the only dance based artist who out right now that has the tightest and most visually detailed chrography! Other than RiRi, Ciara is the only other diva that has differentiated herself from future Beyonce comparisons! Renowned photographers within the media have just now realized her stunning beauty; which is a far cry from Pink, Katy Perry, Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga! I do miss the crunk/funk sound that is missing on Fantasy Ride, but I have noticed other positives that have shown her growth; visually and artistically! So with powerhouse Johnny behind her and her mended friendship with producer Jazzy pha, her future looks bright!

Pat dear, sit yo ass down. If she ain't relevant then why she get asked to perform at the VMA's. Stop hating. Ciara is getting her money while yo ass is hating on her. How is her CD a flop. She is just getting started!

ciara you are a goon performer/ singer/triple threat and you just keep during your thing it will make for thegood backing for you as you climb the ladder of success keep going and don';t look back try all thats out there for you and do it all you are still young and have your whole life ahead of you and as you tracel along on your journet you will always win some and lose some but you rest in the fact that you do know where you came and where you are headed. true fan, and friend., loves the fact that you always brings something new and different to the stage.

I'll be looking forward to the Like A Surgeon video. I hope she make a video for Tell Me What Your Name Is. I can listen to both of those 24/7..
