Ciara = Beyonce Swagger Jacker?

Like our friends from The Cynical Ones, we noticed how Ciara politely swagger jacked a few of Beyonce’s videos. If you still haven’t peeped Ciara and Justin Timberlake’s brand new video for “Love, Sex, Magic” then click here to do that, then come back to this post. And even if you haven’t, the pictures and Mike’s write-up speak for themselves:

The premise of Ciara’s “Sex Love Magic” video is basically look at the kitty kat diva in her freakum dress getting bodied trying to be Justin Timberlake’s suga mama.

While I’m sure her intentions were to get me to focus on how sexy she is and forget how mediocre her material has been thus far, all I can think about after watching this is how much of a wack ass she is. This video looks like a tribute to the Beyonce anthology, and while Beyonce is not an originator by any stretch at least when she jacks something she makes it her own — which is what you’re supposed to do when you bite.

Wait, that bears repeating before anyone tries to drill that point home in the comments section:
Beyonce may bite, Alicia may steal, and Rihanna may have bought all of Fefe Dobson’s clothes at a garage sale, but they’re all much better actresses than Ciara.

All of them have sold sex (yes, even Alicia, too), but it never reeked of desperation.

Her fusing Beyonce’s video treatments with Madonna’s old hoe shit bit doesn’t seem like a woman embracing her new found sexuality. I think she looks like a prostitute trying to score a hit before her pimp puts her back on the street. I find her pathetic in every sense of the word.

She’s like that girl in high school that tried too hard that everyone ends up laughing at. I don’t doubt for a second that if every other popular singer out there shot videos of them in winter coats on the beach she’d toss on a Northface and proceed to do pull-ups on some monkey bars just to sweat a little more than the other girls out.

The interesting thing about her is that she’s doing everything antithetical to what made her relevant to begin with. In an attempt to appeal to a pop audience, she’s alienating the people who pushed to platinum status. I would know, because I bought her first album. Then she came out with that pretentious evolution-themed album (who experiences that great an evolution in two years?) and her music went to shit.

Maybe if she focused on her music as much as she did her ever changing image and sound she wouldn’t be reduced to doggystyle positions and rubbing her ass cheeks on Justin Timberlake for a cheap hit. I thought this chick was supposed to be a great dancer anyway. How do you put Justin Timberlake in a video and not have any extensive choreography? Wasn’t her being some supposed great dancer what separated her from the other singers reduced to dip it, pop it, twirk it stop it dance routines?

Some feel I’m being too hard on her. I think the problem is I know Ciara had way more successful when she was seeking to give folks blue balls instead of full fledged hard-ons.

Far too many people rely on sex to sell forgetting one important fact: Thanks to the internet we can see hoes all day for free. In the end, she can get attention for this, and she’ll even score a modest hit for letting Justin the Negro career killer do the track, but what’s next?

Will she throw Lil’ Wayne on the next single and flash her lips in the video? Her Fantasy Ride is going to resemble that US Airways flight that landed in water.

Beyonce should consider it a compliment. Of course Ciara looks up to B. How could she not? Beyonce’s been successful since Ciara was a youngin.

And besides, Beyonce already took all the best ideas! Like for her tour, those costumes look incredible. I’m so excited to see her in the southern US!

someone on another fansite directed me to http://www.beyonce.com this is a new site, and it looks like they will be handling a lot of ticketing, VIP and whatever else for the I AM… tour. I took a look at their VIP packages and they offer some killer stuff.

you can buy this package that includes a FRONT ROW ticket AND a meet and greet before the show. i would diiiieeee.

no word yet on what shows these packages are for, but i signed up for their mailing list. I’ll keep you guys posted about it, but you should check it out. it’s pretty, well… Fierce!

Yes Ciara has been doing ANYTHING to stay relevent! Which means copying off Bey, yeah Bey bites at times but she’s NEVER done it to this extreme. And even this soft porn video will not save her career. Beyonce is and will always be better then MR Ciara Harry I mean Harris..hehehe

Why the fuck do people keep sayin shit where yall try to say ciara is a man. She is a hermaphrodite but thats wasnt in her control her parents chose for her to be a WOMAN and thats what the fuck you need to consider her and stop tryna be a dumd asshole and stop dick ridin beyonce knowles because she has a lot of flaws. SHUT THE FUCK UP wit all that BULLSHIT Beyonce is a fuckin jock every body thats a younger artist is a fuckin jock cuz tha shit they doin its all been done before so just shut the fuck up they both have unique qualities Beyonce has more of a body ciara dances better they are two different people. i personally like ciara more than beyonce because beyonce it way fuckin overrated. She’s not all that pretty to me and evey body says she looks the best because of her body and she has long hair open yall fuckin eyes she wears weave and waaay too much make up and has an enhanced body ciarea wears weave but also wears her real hair and doesnt over do her make up and is very beautiful with the body that SHE has.
