The song is not bad, but as brehs say in this thread....she stuck in the 2000s. Dunno who this is appealing to :manny:
Ageism is real tho, I know so many women who know their run is over and still out there showing out :snoop:

It's obvious she wants to continue making music. I think fans just want to see a little taste and style from her.
It's tough, what can she do?

She probably wants to appeal to her base.

But she also probably feels weary about making stuff that appeals to the youth.

How many old artists were able to still get big hits? MJ? Madonna?

I think the issue with Ciara is that she botched her prime career, as someone said. So she never built a strong fan base, and a strong discography. Basically every hit she had was in 2004-2005, and although the songs were catchy... she didn't really transcend the genre. It was too in it's time.

Ive often wondered how she became famous. She was in a long term relationship with 50 Cent and couldn’t capitalize off it, Outside of the dancing, and I say this respectfully, she really has nothing to offer. At least Rihanna has her beauty and makeup line, and is somewhat of a fashion icon.

Anybody who denies that Russ upgrade her is delusional.
She came in during the Crunk era. The thing is none of the other Crunk era is still making new music while with her husband's wealthy funds. She still is on his dime

Just make some slower chill stuff. Future had her going in the right direction with “body party” she could keep doing shyt like that. I’d listen

Ciara’s music was tolerable when she was working with Future & Mike Will …Body Party & I Bet we’re bangers. Her music was never anything special but she had chemistry with them. Her current writers ain’t doing her any favors and she’s a poor singer on top of it.

IMO professional black women is under represented in music and she can tap into that market. She can put on a little more clothes and dance with style. All her dancing wasn't twerking when she made music with Missy Elliott. :yeshrug: Ciara is looking like she's trying too hard when she doesn't have to or she is questioning her wholesome image with Russell. I don't know but she can definitely put out something better than trying to look like she's 21.
