i love it
ci ci is ma gurl
Ok, that video was sexy.
She's still got the tomboyish thing going, which is great. But I love the fact that Ciara is embracing her femininity more. Her dancing is still hot, but now sensual too.
WOW.. That was great.. The microphone thing was hot!! Her dancing in the sweatsuit was VERY much like male choreography, I daresay Ginuwine (Pony)>>> But I LOOOVED IT.. This video will take the song to the next level!
And she "Checked up on it" like Beyonce at the end.. TIIIIGGHHT
ONE OF THE TOP 15 FEMALE SOLO VOCALIST VIDEOS EVER IN R&B/HIP-HOP!
This is next level shit right here. Definitely the Evolution. I downloaded it already and got this on my iPod, I'm gonna be showing EVERYBODY tomorrow. Everything was perfect and amazing, this girl can dance like no one else right now. Not that chicken shit Beyonce pulls with her banana dresses lol. It's all smooth, all sexy, all 100% perfection. GO CIARA!!
Love the song and Video....She looks madddddd sexy..but Sweetie never compare her to Aaliyah. Babygirls video of 5years ago is comparable to this. Need i say "Rock the boat" or "We need a resolution"? Uhn Uhn...Try again? C'mon now. Don't do it!
I have to say Ciara has done it again.She is letting everyone know she is here to stay either its dancing or singing. And of couse she is a better dancer thatn Aaliyah and Janet. Because we all know that you can not teach someone to dance. And the beat makes me wanna donwload prince old music. The VIBE IS GREAT. I think she will out sell Beyonce'..don't get me wrong I love Beyonce..but this tops it for this year.
That was hot. Toya can u send me Tamia's US release of Between Friends.. Thanks love.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,THIS VIDEO WAS BEYOND ON POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT VIDEO WAS SO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE HOTTEST R&B VID OF THE YEAR!!!!!
the dancing,the outfits.
but when she was wearing the hoodie,she reminded me of LILI.
but AALIYAH was a natural dancer just like CIARA.
i guess the only reason JANET looks like she's fallen off is because she is older.
BUT NOW I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH CIARA!!!!!!!! 
i don't think she is a BETTER DANCER than AALIYAH but they are both incredible dancers.
AALIYAH COULD DANCE.
LILI did have a choreographer (like CIARA does)but they were/are both NATURAL BORN DANCERS. 
DAMN.
okay this is my 4th time watching the video.
CIARA IS SEXXXY AS HELL
ERBODY SAY GO CI CI GO CI CI GO!
I LOVE this. Ciara is the SHIT and her new album is gonna be fire.
This is the VIDEO of the year!
eh .. it's whatev! I'm still waiting for the song to grow on me - NOT feelin' it but glad she's back though.
and sorry but NO Aaliyah baby girl STILL - don't even need to finish the sentence because that's TOO obvious! u know.
I can't believe you said she's a better dancer than Aaliyah! LMAO, Janet maybe. Janet films well, but live she lacks energy, but Aaliyah was the best when it comes to dancer, just peep the Try Again video. She eclipsed every dancer in the video with those unduplicateable moves without even breaking a sweat. Ciara dances hard, but Aaliyah does it effortlessly & that's why I always loved to see her perform.
Ciara does have some heat though, I've been loving the last 2 videos & I would've loved to see her & Aaliyah dancing together. Ciara dances like a boy too & I find that sexy. Keep it up C C, use whatever talents you have to carve your own path the way a true artist does.
TOYYYYYA!!! I Motha F!@#$%^ Agree Withcu Chu I Knew I Wasnt The Only One...It Reminds Me Of Aaliyah's Try Again, Janet's Pleasure Principle, And Some Parts Where She's Going Crazy Remind Me Of Beyonce's Ring The Alarm....Fergie's New Video Isz Blayzn So... I Think There Is Def. Some Competition Goin On...And 2 Me Da Biggest Competition Is No Other Than Ciara Vs Bow Wow ...His Album Will Be Droppn Some Time Around That Area...So Bow Wow...Come Hard!!!!
Ooh Yea...And Whoever Said She Was Better Than Aaliyah...I Think If Ciara Heard That...She Wouldnt Even Appreciate That Herself...Aaliyah Is Resting It Peace...Let Her Be...Far As Janet...Lets Not Forget...Janet RULED the early generation...And Yall Prolly Was Sayin This Same Stuff About Her That Yall Saying About Ciara ......Ciara's Idol Was Janet...So She Took What She Had...And Outdid Janet...And Now Beyonce Will Have To Come Back 10x Harder...Cusz Ciara Is Dominating The Game Right Now!!
i dont kno... i was hoping her video was going to be more womanly... it was at some points but i didnt think all the "mannish" dancing was necessary... and i wished she would have been interacting with a man instead of dancing with a shitload of females... it was still good tho...
That video is sick as hell.. She's giggin... she got that sweatsuit dance part from aaliyahs "hot like fire" video..but the video is the best video out.... and as far as Yall sayin she can dance better than aaliyah... Like come on get real.. Aaliyah would've tore this video and song up and Janets late so thats her excuse...
THE SONG IS MA FAV SONG RIGHT NOW, I CANT STOP LISTENIN 2 IT AS CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S HURT, BUT THIS VIDEO IS KINDA BORING SOMETIMES, TOYA SORRY TO DISAGREE WIT U THIS TIME, BUT ITS NOT THAT GOOD
I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHIN LIKE A STORY LIKE CIARA WHEN WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND LIKED ONE BOY THEN SHES GROWN AND STILL IN LUV WIT THAT BOY BUT I GUESS ITS A KOOL VIDEO
After the mic scene I was a little bored. I can see the Aaliyah influences and Janet influences all o ver the damn video. However, it should do really well on the countdowns. Ciara sure is growing into her own woman. I must give her props for that.
I don't think we were watching the same exactly video. I don't think that at all.
The video was BORING, imo. Nothing about it was something to remember. Neither breathe taken. It almost felt like you were watching one of Aaliyah, or Miss Jackson videos.
Her, or her people are constantly pulling her towards being an Aaliyah and Janet clone, It's not even funny.
The fact that she was looking straight up like Aaliyah during the dance routine was enough, for me. And kind of laughable.
Aren't you suppose to change the game, not reincarnate the past? If that's the case she should name her album Ciara: The Reincarnation.
Her body was nice, though.
I can't understand people who get mad about that Aaliyah comment... Aaliyah was great and I love her music, but the fact that she's dead doesn't make her the best dancer/singer ever!
Pressure Priciple???
This is why people should not compare Ciara to Janet. Chances are you don't even know Janet's whole catalogue if you can't get one of her most popular songs right.
Until Ciara comes with something that exceeds Rhythm Nation, Nasty, Control, What Have You Done for Me Lately, I Get So Lonely, etc...she need not be compared to Janet.
exactly...when did ciara become better than janet...she is a dance queen....she won grammies for her vids..u compare ciara to janet...and u have a janet tribute area on ur site and wat do u say...im even ashamed to say it"PRESSURE PRINCIPLE"...please...come again...its pleasure principle...at least get that right...no wonder u think ciara is better than janet..u dont know janet's work!
I fuckin' loved the video. And Samantha Jones...thank you. You hit it right on the nail.
Aren't you suppose to change the game, not reincarnate the past?
___________________________________
^^ Ciara has a similar style to Aaliyah, but I cannot say she is copying her. I Am a big, BIG Aaliyah fan, and Aaliyah and Ciara do not dance alike! Ciara does a lot of hunching and gyrating, which is fine bcuz I love the video. I believe in actuality that the haters REALLY DO want her to reincarnate Aaliyah. I mean, I actually want her to be similar because there is a void in the style of music that Aaliyah was creating b4 she died. AND her style has yet to be even remotely duplicated.. THANX!
"I can't believe you said she's a better dancer than Aaliyah! LMAO, Janet maybe.

How the FUCK do you know she didn't break a sweat. People like you kill me with your made up bullshit. I loved Aaliyah to death, but it's so damn obvious that Ciara is a better dancer. REMOVE your mouth from her CLIT NOW. Thank you.
And Toya is totally on point with her commentary of the video. So the rest of yall can fall back
I'm sorry this is the best video of the year!
Exactly Yall Feel Me...How The Hell Is This Video Manly? There Aint Nuthin Manly Bout That....Let Toya Do Toya Cusz She Aint Neva Lien!!!! But Yea The Only Way You Can Compare Ciara And Aaliyah Is If Aaliyah Was Actaully ALIVE...But She's Not....Ciara Is Basically The New Janet.. Of Our Generation...And Haters If U Dont Like Dat Shit...2 Damn Bad!!!!
This video is SEXY!!!!! I do agree that Ciara is better then Janet Jackson at dancing. Janet has nothing on Ciara. Now, Ciara being better then Aaliyah, i'll have to seriouly think about that and compare there dancing a lot. Ciara can move smoothly. Her dancing is CRAZY!!!! I see a lot of the Aaliyah influences in this video. The baggy pants, belly showing, etc.. and it's hot. I love that style.
I agree 100% with Toya about this video and song, except the Aaliyah vs. Ciara dance moves part.
Big up to the Director and the choreographer of this video. It is straight fire.
Only thing i didn't get is the part where she is lying on the ground with the short hair.
She came CORRECT!! BANGIN' video. Ciara smacked it! That microphone scene at the start is HOT! I love the way she leans down on it and goes down with the mic stand. And Ciara can WHINE as well! Good golly!
She's definetely channelling Aaliyah in this vid and that's no bad thing! Especially seeing as Ciara came so correct with the style and everything.
SEXY video. She's pretty much covered up, but it's all in the way she moves and the music itself.
BANGIN' video. She looks like a woman now. Sexy as hell. And she looks SEXY wid short hair too!
*whip-whip-whip*
Best Video Of The Year Award!
When Ciara is in the game for even 10 years and still selling albums then we can compare her to Janet. Until then...na'll. Janet created the game that Ciara is playing. So... let her be Ciara. That is the problem these days...Always the next someone......hit 30 and folks wanna act like your dead or close to it. lol....
It is a cool song. To much Prince rip off for me though....

^^ i agree with this .
i like the song and the video . of course you can see the many influences of ciara's dance moves. even though janet isn't doing what she did back in the control days , noone can take away the accomplishments aand all of what she has done for the music industry.
"Promise" is my fave song out right now and that video is fly as hell. I've been jamming to the instrumental for like the past HOUR! *lol*
I think Ciara and Aaliyah had two different dance styles. Aaliyah was more stiff. May she rest in peace but Ciara got everybody beat in the dance game. Also y'all need to get off her case because Beyonce' has done a lot of swagger jacking lately and nobody had nothing to say about that.
clearly TOya didnt make this blog because she wouldnt be crazy enuff to not only mispell Janet's video, but to also compare Ciara to Aaliyah/Janet like that.
In fact, quit mentioning Janet's name because you constantly talk about her.
I was typing REALLY fast. Of course I meant Pleasure Principle. That is one of my all time favourite Janet video's.
ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats all I have to say for this cheesy ciara video. we all know she still is a man underneath it all. she is pretendeing to change beacuse her album is called evolution! thats the only reason she trying to pretend she is evoluving. please the bitch is a man, she dances TOO FORCEFULLY!!!! all the time,there is nothing about her thats natural. she's a man. oh please MYA can friggin out dance her anyday. natural born killer. yeah. go MYA!!!
Ciara has step up her game up. Yeah this video reminds me so much of Janet back in the day but imitation is the purest form of flattery. "Promise" is repeat on my YouTube playlist. If that Prince rumor is true I can't wait to see that video as well.
Forgot to add she's definitely the female answer to Usher. I saw a bit of Usher's Confessions video work here.
She couldn't fuck with Aaliyah on her worst day!
I loved Aaliyah and I still do but she was a VERY stiff dancer and her moves looked very choreograhed as if she were counting the steps in her heard. Cira has more of a natural flow in my opinion but that's MY opinion.
Let me retype that:

dis video is fuckn fire!!!!!!! its hot as hell. i have to agree, Ciara IS better dancer than Janet and Aaliyah and those who dont see it are in denial. just because aaliyah has passed away DOES NOT mean she was the greatest singer/ dancer ever. I am tired of people acting like that. When she was alive, i dont recall her being the "baby girl" so everyone needs to just stop it. You are fake
Um...Aaliyah: can dance
Ciara: can dance
Janet: can dance
But here's the tie breaker: Aaliyah was the only one who could sing out of all of them....therefore she is and will continue to be the best.

^^^^^^
Quit Lien 2 Yaself..I Have Always Said That Just Because Your Dead Dosent Make U The Best...We All Know Aaliyah Had Talent And Beauty...But People Face The Fact...She Is Resting In Peace...She's Not Around...Ciara May Not Be A Strong Vocalist But All That Matters Is She Is Outing Janet's Ass...Janet Is 2 Old 2 Be Trynna Sell Sexy..Thats Why Her Career Is Done For...Wanna Complain Well Dammit Call Jermaine Durpi And Blame His Ass 4 It...2 Bad 2 Sad...Beyonce And Ciara R Runnin Da Game Rite Now...Hands Down...
The video is ok but I wish she would have done more dancing. Alot of the movements remind me of Beyonce performing Yes live, the stiff modeling poses, but this is definately different and not seen before. I do see Janet and Aaliyah in this but she is far FAR FAR FAR from Aaliyah and Janet
this isnt that good of a video....good dancing ill give it that but besides its just ALRIGHT
Please! - Ciara dancing like a "man"?! - How exactly do you dance like a man? Dancing doesn't have ANYTHING to do with your sex, it has everything to do with your emotions and the mood. I am 100% female and I dance forcefully and "manly" at times - depending on the song and what I am attempting to portray in my movements.
A woman dancing "manly" or should I say, "powerfully" can be quite sexy. And most guys won't lie about that.
As for the video - it made me cry because she does look and dance alot like Aaliyah. I believe she has more natural "flow" in her dancing - i.e. she doesn't need coreography for her videos unless dancing with a group.
I'm just wondering what Timbaland and Missy think when they see her.
Ciara do dance better than aaliyah!
its no reason to get mad,its not like she said ciara is a better artist than aaliyah she said ciara is a better dancer thats the key word (DANCER).
Come on now yall be real aaliyah is a choregraph dancer type,ciara is a freestyle dancer type.We all know we never seen aaliyah dance freestyle before and if any of you did see aaliyah actually freestyle dance prove it? dont try and prove it by haveing a cyber arguement or by typeing it down prove it as in show me, give me a website or something; aaliyah has 358 website I know its a video or somthing showing she is a good and I mean good freestyle dancer or atleaset a beter dancer than ciara.
The only reason I perfer ciara dancing more is because ciara can dance sexy PERFECT EXAMPLE (PROMISE) SEXY DANCING, and she can also dance musculin or shall I say powerfully (GET UP)is a perfect example for her manly type dancing,ciara can also dance freestyle (SOURCE AWARDS AND VIBE AWARDS thats when she started doing all that freestyle dancing) not to leave out she did her own freestyle for "OH" video when she was dancing on top of the car,and she can dance choregraphed perfect example loose control with missy all choregraph dancing.
So bascially thats how it goes a good dancer is a good dancer ciara is a very good dancer she can do all types of dancing. Sorry to say but niether aaliyah or janet can dance like ciara its true, they can..................... well I only seen them do one type of dancing and it was choregraohed I never seen them switch their styles up in dancing it was always choregraphed even when they performed live.
