Comparing artists is a natural thing and ya’ll are just gonna have to accept it. We compare sport teams, actors, music, artists, tv shows, movies and etc. Famous music stars are not exempt from being compared to each other
Many won't admit it but Ciara would demolish a SuperBowl performance. She has enough hits, the energy, choreography and can bring out Missy and Ludacris as special guests 🔥🔥🔥
She has never toured … let alone a world tour. Artist that have performed at the Super Bowl have been around the world as an artist before they ever graced the stage of the Super Bowl.
I think what Ciara was saying is that you need to be confident and independent with yourself before attracting someone that’s actually worth your time and love. That’s what I got from it.
yes mam. i saw Eloho’s video and she inputted Ciara and russell’s interview about him saying that she wanted him but she didnt need him because she was independent and had it together before they got together
If you are letting a song tell you how to live your life, that says a lot of about you and your mental state. It's a song not an autobiography. Beyonce sang Single Ladies and she was married to Jay-Z at that time. Cardi had WAP and she was married to Offset. Snoop rapped about being a pimp and he was married. Stop living your life vicariously through celebrities!
I agree 💯👏👏 like why as a artist do u have to make music that reflects your personal life?? 😅 & ppl lack the mental strength to not let music guide their lives. It’s not that deep. Either listen or don’t 💁♀️
You clearly never really listened to single ladies because if you did you’d realize the message isn’t being single, it’s about a woman being with a man for years that has no plans to marry her and she’s telling him to put a ring on it or she’ll find someone else who will.
Beyonce performances are immaculate. Especially her breath control while dancing on stage. That is definitely not a comparison. Rihanna and Beyonce have their own lane.
I really hate how we’ve been conditioned to not give Ciara a chance. How you gonna ask for her prayer but not want to listen to the advice and things she had to focus on to get to where she is? Also Ciara should do Halftime. She got the hits and performance stamina
Yeah but that song is just tone deaf…unless her and Russell aren’t together anymore? It’s just comes across as patronising. I mean a song like that would’ve worked in like the early to mid 2000’s we’re not in the independent woman era right now
I think it would've been well-received if she removed the _independent woman_ aspect out and included a "work on yourself to attract a Russell Wilson type" into the song. That would've sounded more like her giving advice to help women. But no. Half of it is her singing about having standards, which is great, I agree with those parts. But then she also sings about "booking my own trips... This is for the girls that don't need no man" She's giving mixed signals for someone who can literally afford to be a single mother but still chose soft life and marriage.
Not every black artists gonna perfom the superbowl. Your ciara and Chris brown are not loved by white people. No one care about the black community opinion.
Ciara WAS hard working and independent for years! She also recently got the masters to her music on her own. She is now an independent artist, too. I think this backlash is insane.
The best part of Rihanna's performance was the dancers and aesthetics. The best part of Beyonce's performance was Beyonce. Her performance is one you can always go back to over and over again.
@@jaminickin2564 She literally can't, especially the singing 😭. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, I'm here for both but Beyoncés was better imo bc I love when artists can sing as wll live..
Riri's performance was OK, it was good to see her back on stage, but even if you compare it to Dr Dre's set last year, there is no comparison. But, I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions
@@arditd7724 Beyoncé is the reason for the industry plant remember that she’s the one that told Jay to sign her and take her seriously over teirra Marie Beyoncé and Rihanna don’t care about that shit y’all do
Can't we stop lying? Rihanna's performance was very dry- plus she can't sing OR dance. She's the biggest trick the music industry has every pulled next to Elvis and Madonna.
The people judging Ciara missed the entire point (and are probably single). If you want a good man worth keeping, you have to attract him. In my experience, all the good men are looking for a woman who doesn't NEED him, but wants him. Being independent doesn't mean being single. It means being confident and secure in your skin, your finances, and your options. Ciara is married, but is still very much independent in my book.
100% Being independent just means being in a position to provide yourself with the life you want instead of expecting or relying on someone else to do it for you. That's important to me, knowing I can do it because I've been that young girl who was so caught up in love and belonging to someone that I put myself in positions where I was fully dependent on them. And dependency is a dangerous place to be in.
Some people just want to be mad…that’s the curse of social media. It only takes ONE person to put a negative perspective out then here come the bandwagons🤦🏽♀️. I’m sick of people! There is nothing wrong with being independent and I’m married! That’s what attracted my husband to me! She is also talking about embracing your single season…boss up, glow up and just know a man doesn’t make or break you! ❤️❤️😍
As for Ciara, it really bothers me that people want to be the dictator of an artist’s musical talent instead of just skipping over to a song that is best suited for them. Even my favorite musicians have songs I don’t rock with but that doesn’t mean I have to bash their art. People are just ridiculous these days 🙄
I understand what they are saying ciara don't live that single strong woman life so why sing about something she herself does not live no woman won'ts to be strong all the time they want stability as they should
🤦🏾 These dumbass women took things way too far! It's a damn song! Get the fuck over it! Bashing a black woman, only makes u look stupid! Are they triggered?? That's what it sounds like! Getting all bent outta shape over a damn song! 🙄
Ciara did nothing wrong. The message is not to be or promote to be alone The message is to have women empowerment... And if you get to get married like Ciara and find a person that loves you then fine but if not be by yourself...
I don’t get why there’s constant comparisons with Beyonce and Rihanna. They’re two completely different artists and perform differently also. Rihanna has showed her respects to Beyonce and they’re not in a competition.
It's like a combination of people trying to diminish Beyonce but also wanting everyone to be like her lol. It's like they never wanna let these artist stand on their own and be great in their own way.
I like Beyoncé for her talent and her music and I like Rihanna because I feel like she’s more relatable and she’s talented and have great music as well. Comparing them when they are in two different lanes is crazy. Goes to show the industry needs more black female superstars.
There’s comparison because Frank voiced his honest,professional and experienced opinion, in which He himself didn’t even mention Beyoncé at all, as if she was THE ONLY Super Bowl performer ever…And the Beehive …well you know how they do😂. They singled out Beyoncé not Frank. I remember when Bey’s former choreographer “ Danielle Polanco” said that she felt Madonna was a better dancer than Beyoncé ( she worked with both of them) all hell broke loose😂 I’m so sick of people riding Bey’s d@#k…he’s a grown man and entitled to his opinion. And here’s mine. #1Bruno Mars #2 Rihanna #3 Beyoncé.
I think Rihanna’s choreography and dancers were absolutely amazing those dancers had so much energy and stamina I don’t think the dancers are getting their flowers.
From the super bowls over past like 5-7yrs or so, My Super Bowl list is: 1. Beyoncé/Bruno & Beyoncé 2nd performance 2. Katy Perry 3. Lady Gaga 4. The Weeknd 5. Dre and everybody I don’t go back to all performances in history to do an best of all time list. I don’t care enough to do that lol so for the more recent ones this is my list
Rihanna’ performance definitely wasn’t better. Beyoncé was way more insynced with her background dancers. Everyone just missed Rihanna a whole lot, so the anticipation made people love it more.
I miss the 05-07 Ciara . People evolve and elevate, however that was her era and what most love and appreciate her for musically. ❤I’d definitely love another “And I” or “Promise” type record and that’s what I expected her collab with Summer Walker to sound like. I love that she’s still making music and every song doesn’t have to reflect her current situation 😩 So some people were definitely reaching and if she did release a love song, the question is would they even support it.
I don't think Ciara is promoting people to be single and alone. I think she just wants people to not feel like they need to depend on a man. She hasn't said don't fall in love, she just means just don't settle
She has friends like Lala who have not been as lucky in love. Maybe she made the song for them, to encourage them and let them know they don't have to be afraid to be alone.
I agree. She was in a toxic relationship with Future before settling into the loving relationship that serves her much better clearly so the song's message might be directed towards that: being independent and loving yourself for the sake of loving yourself (which is so important for choosing a good partner). I think people are reading into it too much
I don't believe there is nothing wrong with what Ciara did. She's simply saying ,you can be content being single, and being with someone. A relationship/ marriage isn't a necessity nor is it mandatory.
Michael Jackson and Beyonce are always brought up in these types of convos. Proves they are and will always be the king and queen of entertainment and the music industry.
We are not a monolith! There’s literally no need to compare artists and/or be offended by people’s opinions. I love B, RiRi and CeeCee and love to see different artists like them thriving.
He's gotta be bitter because I love Rihanna but especially from a choreography/stage presence perspective, Bey & Bruno and J-Lo & Shakira put on much more entertaining shows. Yes Rihanna's was "chill" but I think that's just a nice way of saying underwhelming.
Lmao @ your last line. I can't help but feel like that's true, that everybody saying Rihanna's super bowl was chill is them just trying to put a positive spin on how underwhelming it was.
@Lakacia Lloyd Beyoncé wanted some change and she outgrew him and got even bigger and better. Her 2016 Superbowl halftime show, Vmas Lemonade medley, Formation World Tour, Beychella have some of her best choreographed performance and he wasn't involved in any of them.. They parted ways in 2014 and started giving her dance routines to J-Lo (cough cough Partition). Her, Chris Grant and Jacquel Knight who did the Single ladies, Diva, Formation dance routines among others have been doing just fine after Frank Gatson departure
I felt the same way. The first time I watched the performance I kept expecting the it moment, when you supposed to feel the energy, but who would’ve thought, 13 minutes in and I felt nothing. Not to mention she ain’t had the mic on too.
Im not a fan of Ciara AT ALL but i think people are dragging it and just jumping on the bandwagon.. shes a musician, she doesn’t only have to make songs that reflects her personal life. People just want to complain.
ppl dont just want to complain. They literally expressed the reason as to why they didn't like the song which is sound. if you like it fine but don't invalid how others perceive the music.
In all due respect I never seen a pregnant woman move like that. Rihanna really gave it her all and then some. She continues to break the mold and boundary's. Watching that performance I saw a confident black woman with no limits all. Continue to inspire Rihanna and Beyonce. There should be no comparison. We all love you both.
Bey has the God-given talent of commanding the audience or stadium. She is absolutely captivating. Who could take their eyes off her. I get what Frank was saying visually the creative aesthetics were amazing in Rihanna’s 13 minute performance. The choreography was out of this world and even the ASL interpreter got shine ✨ It wasn’t just a performance it was a showcase of talent and collaborative artistry. We are blessed to live in a time where there are great artists.
Right vocally...style wise, dance wise whatever way you think about it Rihanna best performance couldn't hold up to any Beyonce performance....when Sasha fierce take over its a wrap ...come on it's no comparison. Rihanna is a brilliant business woman a billionaire at that...has hit after hit most that she didn't even write but still she put her swag on and is amazing in many ways yet nah she not better than Beyonce.
@@spazarellapoet8735 Neither did Beyonce write many of her hit songs. People are unique. That doesn't mean that one person's style is the best. I just watched Rihanna's videos from her first album to the last and man, that girl is one hell of an artiste. She's a major star. Have you asked yourself why Beyonce has the vocals and the energy to dance and perform but Rihanna's records sell better. So much that out of 11 years of her career, Rihanna has amassed 9 Grammys. That's because Rihanna has a divine aura that endears people to her music. She's feisty and savagely in a way that does not have to mean excessive choreography and dance energy but pulls the crowd to her, and keeps them yearning for more. That an artiste is a performer doesn't mean they're the standard. Everybody is standard in their own right. Rihanna is not much of a performer but she still has great hits, her records sell faster and better than Beyonce, she's beautiful and earthy despite her BILLIONAIRE status. Rihanna doesn't lose sleep where Beyonce is concerned cause she's the billionaire boss folks. Get this into your fucking skulls.
@@jackiehilliard2898 The choreographer said nothing bad about Beyoncé, though; he even thinks she's only second to Michael Jackson. That's incredibly high praise. The superbowl is ONE performance. He liked ONE performance more than Beyoncé's, relax.💀💀He obviously still thinks she's the superior performer overall.
@@deviantmoore9744 I didn’t say he did say anything bad about Beyoncé. He what he said about Rihanna’s Super-Bowl performance and I said what I said about Beyoncé as a performer, meaning no one; including Rihanna’s Super-bowl performance was better than any of Bey’s performances. Period, so stfu.
I love Rihanna’s Super Bowl for the exact same reasons he mentioned. Was it the best, no. Why because the main artist was pregnant and couldn’t give a complete performance but considering that she did amazing. Those dancers was flawless and that stage usage was top tier the best to me. They used the entire field. She stood out with that riri red and she looked absolutely confident and comfortable in her skin as she usually does. She wasn’t trying to be extra because she didn’t have to. It was amazing, we need to stop comparing.
Ciara is one of the best performer ever. She is super talented and rivals Janet and Micheal in the dance department. I am glad she really does not perform to win awards. She performs because she loves it.
The thing is Frank is a legend himself his work, choreography is outstanding. No shade to Rhi but what people don't realise coming from a dancer or a choreography point of view ( he should know better) how does that make her the best Super bowl performance what she did was average. Without bringing Beyonce into it I could name other better performances MJ, PRINCE ECT ECT ..... this " theory" doesn't make sense so I do believe his being shady
This! Disappointing, coming from a talented person himself who doesn’t have to resort to pettiness for attention but… They know that even by insinuating Bey’s name, it’s gonna end up in a headline somewhere. Smh. If his compliment was all about Rihanna, WITHOUT the attention-seeking, he could’ve just congratulated her on a great show without all the extra stuff. He knew what he was doing, and for that the compliment doesn’t even seem genuine now 🤷🏽♀️
I think people was expecting more of a spectacle. It felt surprisingly bare bones. Not even a costume change really besides the duvet cover she put on at the end. The performance itself was pretty much exactly what I expected from her.
Exactly Rihanna’s performance wasn’t memorable. The choreography was TikTokish it wasn’t where the dancers switched it up. She honestly was just giving me award show performance not Super Bowl performance.
*That Ciara situation made me so proud! Y‘all finally woke up! Especially for the black women! Stop romanticizing baby momma culture! Beyoncé and JLo did the same by the way!*
For performance only. In all other areas - ie hits, digital sales, streaming, Fashion and Beauty , Rihanna is outta thhis world and Beyonce should look up to Rihanna
@@Ye_wie exactly right Beyonce obviously has better vocals n can dance better but Rihanna wins in every other way Rihanna also has a better voice than Beyonce but Beyonce obviously has better vocals
Rihanna’s performance was not what I expected. For you to call it lackluster was disrespectful because she’s pregnant. Beyoncé’s performance is the best that I’ve seen.
I completely agree with you!!! I’m not a fan of Beyoncé, but that performance was really good and I still watch the Shakira performance till this day. I’m a huge fan of all of Rihanna’s music, but she is not really a performer let’s keep it real. I have only seen that performance twice.
I’m sorry but It’s obviously Rihanna has no passion for music anymore. I don’t blame her because she’s accomplished so much and doesn’t have anything to prove. This performance just felt like a farewell and something she wanted to check off her list of things to do. Pregnant or not you could see she wasn’t really into it. If this was any other artist they would be dragged for the lackluster performance but since it’s Rihanna, some of y’all are giving her a pass and making excuses …
Great point ! I Thought something was off people just won’t let her grow and move on to her other ventures. I mean her baby daddy in fashion now nobody asking him for an album lol
I think he based it on creativity, dancers and costumes I believe. As well as the number of hits she sang. It was great more because we haven't seen her in a long time and her stage presents was great.
Context is key. WANT, and NEED are 2 different things. Ciara sings the words "This is for the girls that don't need no man". Ppl are confusing the 2. Ciara ALSO wasn't always a married woman. Why can't she sing about what she's experienced? Tons of rappers out here rap about drugs they never pushed, and bodies they ain't got. Why can't Ciara sing about what she had as a lived experience? Also, she is MORE than what her marriage makes her. She's still an individual. The song is literally a love letter to women, and a list of Affirmations. This is so weird to be pissed at. Fake outrage at its finest. What's more, is Russel did an interview way back, and he literally told Ciara that one of the BIGGEST things that drew him to her, was the fact she didn't NEED him. She WANTED him. The housewife comments are also VERY dumb. Ciara without Russ has a $30million net worth. She was good b4 him too. Of all the shit to get mad it. Really???
I’m team CiCi you don’t need a man to be happy, also just because she’s happily married now doesn’t mean she didn’t experience the single life which she did, she lived for her and her son and when she was healed and ready to receive love GOD blessed her with a man that absolutely adores her and treats her and her son with unconditional love and respect.
Rhianna and Beyoncé are both great artists and at the top of their game.They did great Super Bowl Performances,Just congratulate. If you can’t don’t say nothing at all…
Thank you so much for mentioning Shakira and J Lo! Idk how many times I've gone back to watch them. They did that! It was my favorite so far, but I did enjoy Rih as well. You can't expect the same type of performance from everyone. That's the point of having different artists perform. I don't expect her to approach the super bowl like Beyonce' bc she's not Beyonce'. Not being Beyonce' does not equal bad lol.
Let’s be honest, if Ciara made a love song about her man, they would’ve said it’s corny. I thought being a strong independent woman was being praised nowadays. Besides…some women do not want to be married. The song was for them
Exactly. I'm not looking for the wife life and get tired of married women trying to force their life choices down your throat. I appreciate the variety.
Both Bey n RiRi are in a lane of their own. I love them both for many reasons. There is no comparison. If her younger fans want to sit out on a limb for her & yelled till they don’t have no more air in their lungs then let them her fan base is huge. & I know us millennials who have follow their discography since they were 16 we know how great both of them are. Both so talented & everything this choreographer said about them was spot on 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 u can appreciate both of their entertainment styles. I agree she was up 200 ft in the air & made it look too easy WHILE PREGGO y’all don’t understand esp. if ur no women who’s ever carried & is over protective like RiRi seems to be as a mom she made effortless smooth and vocals all look easy when their not of course she paced herself she had too either way I loved how she thought of every angle up to even Justina her ASL interpreter RIRi is just spot on with what she does and Bey loves precision too so I just know they both appreciate each other so stop comparing there is no comparison
Prince is still till this day my favorite performance at the Super Bowl ☔️ in the rain too, dancers & all in that slippery ass stage 😂💃🏾Prince is a real performer. 🔥
“Better Things” was great. That WAS the empowering song. So was “Rooted.” For her next song, I think it should be an empowering dance love song with a Caribbean or Afrobeat vibe. She could also make a song that doesn’t include “the girls”, but addresses “the haters” saying that her relationships made her pop and she’s washed up. That’s what I would love to hear.
@@Aurora0510 no shade but she's been making the dance music that you want to hear since her 3rd album and a certain audience has been on her neck since telling her to stop making music like that and stick to what she knows which is urban r&b.
@@teezyaye4138 Thats was the Fantasy Ride album and she had Love Sex and Magic, Work with Missy and Go. That was a solid album. Her music at times can be hit or miss cuz the album Ciara with Body Party, Overdose and I’m Out was a really good album, almost no skip good.
@@teezyaye4138⁵. can't please people! But do they even support her artistry by purchasing her songs/albums, attending live shows, watching TV performances etc!! She doesn't have to express one message. All BW don't want to be married.... living life as a "kept" woman is such a derogatory way to describe Ciara.🤦🏽♀️
Beyoncé's live performances saved me from deep depression but I preferred Rihanna’s performance at this time because it was so chill and chill is what I need at this time. I've only watched Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance once. I have watched Rihanna’s every day since it aired. However, I'm anxiously waiting for her tour and more live performances.
Ciara reveals a wonderful love life to her fans so her fans want to see that being reflected in her music. Its literally that simple wth are you talking about?
u know how many life she has? I guarantee u haven’t checked out her last 2 albums. there were love songs all over them. y’all are so weird and fake mad
Yall clearly missed the point of the message. All of these women promoting independence and acting like hoes (Ciara, Beyonce, Rihanna, Cardi B, etc) are all boo'd up or married. Why don't they promote that? Why do black women have to be tied to single/baby mama culture? You don't have to agree. But the art of music is meant to be felt and analyzed. We analyzed it. We didn't feel it lol.
I didn't think Riri's SB performance was all that great until the next day when I realized there was no TV magic & those stages were seriously floating around with dozens of dancers killing choreography with precision on the field, stage & moving platforms. They all moved with the energy & confidence, along with the pregnant Rihanna as if they were all on solid ground or didnt have moving stages above their heads. She understood the assignment, revealed her baby bump, had her dancers bring the heat, even her ASL interpreter crushed it. It was so great I didn't believe it was real, so yeah, it was amazing & best ever!
I truly HATE that Rih can never have a moment 😩 A Rihanna always becomes a “Beyoncé vs . Rihanna “ and it’s so pathetic to me ‼️ why can’t Rih get her rightful flowers just like others who’ve made contributions?
Beyoncé killed the super bowl, her energy, choreography, she ate and left no crumbs.I went back and watched her performance after Rihanna’s cause Rihanna just did not give what needed to be gave for such a big event.I needed to be fulfilled.And Dre,Snoop,Eminem,Mary and Kendrick killed it last year,periodt⏺
How did snoop, Dre, Em and Mary do better than Rihanna? They didn’t do any choreography and certainly weren’t pregnant. They stood in the same place and performed. I’m having a hard time really seeing how they were all that?
@@sandram6374 Rihanna is a lackluster performer periodt even when she wasn’t pregnant, she just doesn’t have it and never will, and who made up the myth that you can’t dance when your pregnant,I have been around plenty of women who dance when pregnant and go hard including my wife
@@neeshespieces They didn’t need all the extra, they got bars, and what rappers dance?,it’s about the energy that you put into a performance, the passion, and she just doesn’t have passion,she never has,she’s always skated by to me with no real talent, she can’t sing and can’t dance, she’s average……………..basic,bland
I love Ciara... would like to see her music evolve as she ages and grows! I get this is the type of music that got her put on, but this ain't it, record after record!
I think people reach too far. Ciara was once single and had to have that mindset before she got her blessing to be Married. Furthermore, there are groups of women who are living in the space of the lyrical content of the song. I think people need to stop taking things literal as every message in a song is just not for everybody and that’s fine. But don’t limit an artist in their lyrical content. Writers write not only based on their experiences but others as well and I believe people should keep this in mind when listening to an artist. 🙏🏽
Give Janet a whole set by herself and she would show some of yall why she is the blueprint. The thing is that Janets Jackson Super Bowl performance was outshined by the controversy surrounding Nipplegate. The gag is that people forget that the whole event was hosted by MTV and it contained P Diddy, Kid Rock and Beyonce (who performed the National Anthem). Janet and her tatas outshined them all. That says alot.
That ain't happening lol. Someone white or Taylor Swift will be there next year! We already had 3 or 4 black halftime shows in a row. It's time for a break haha.
Adele is in a whole happy relationship yet still makes breakup music. She never said be alone forever. When u r a artist you don’t speak from just the present you speak from your experience
I had the same thoughts regarding Ciara’s song, however, I get it. She was established before Russell. I believe her experiences prior to him inspired the song and have a lot to do with why she was able to obtain and keep the man she has. She can focus on the love she receives because there’s nothing else a man could do to “complete” her BUT love her fiercely. Nothing wrong with remembering where you started!
You get it! Maybe that's why these women complaining can't get a man of their own. Real men like a woman who has her own thing going on outside of him. It makes you a more interesting person to be around.
And she literally made a song about they’re love but nobody listened to it. The “ Greatest Love” flopped badly. They all need to honest with themselves because they don’t know what the want fr
Frank wants to be seen, heard, and known…..ain’t no way he thought Ri’s performance was better and I Loove her!! Bey & Bruno are my favorites along with MJ. They better staahhp.
Ciara is an artist and every song doesn’t have to represent her situation. But the fans have a right to respond and she should respond back give clarification on where you coming from with new song❤️🎤❤️🎤❤️
As a HUGE fan of Ciara, I haven't been the happiest with her recent music output. However, while I have my criticisms of her direction, I think people are WAY harsher on her music and hold her to higher standards than other artists. When Ciara did attempt to try new sounds and explore more topics (Fantasy Ride, a very underrated pop, pop soul, and alt r&b album) she got heat for moving away from crunk. Now that she's comfortable and trying to please her core audience, the goalpost moved .... And let's be honest, her music isn't at all worse than most of what gets to chart.
The message is right. People took that wrong and I think that’s why a lot of our people are failing in relationships! We have to be independent individuals and complete before we get into a relationship. We as women should not NEED a man but WANT a man. It’s ok to be taken care of and loved but also be our own individual and independent and stronger together with our partner. Nothing wrong with that message. We have to do better.
With Ciara she doing her job giving songs that ppl (majority) buy. But she can flip it if her album transition from single, broken hurt, giving up, finding love, ect
Ciara's song is being hated because she's married but irreplaceable and single ladies were by a married woman and were big hits. Keep the same energy for everyone not just your favs.
Ciara probably was just trying to tell single women to keep your head up. It’s not her fault if you don’t have anybody . Now if she made a song talking about how rich her husband is and bragging folks would drag her for not being relatable .
Bingo! She just triggers their jealousy and envy. Damned if she do and damned if she don't. But there are hella out artists out her that get to have freedom of expression married or not.
I’m married and I agree with the single ladies and their responses. I’m glad I’m not doing everything by myself and have someone to help me. I’m very grateful for that.
@@lorettaknoelk3475 I’m class of 2003. I don’t remember her and Jay NOT being together. They’ve literally been together since I was a teenager in high school! ALL her songs were cap.
Since when do artist need to make music that’s personal to what they are going through at the time? If that’s the case, Beyoncé is talking about “I might start an Only Fans”🤨🤨🤨So that’s reflective of what’s she currently going through? How is that overlooked but Ciara gets backlash?!?!? Those same people complaining about Ciaras music, most likely didn’t buy her previous singles she made that were made more for their taste.
All the way from the Netherland.. Just like to say Thank you for making this Channel.. You Always keeps it Real.. Giving your opinion on the contents you do. In a very good and decent way.. ✌🏼❤️ .
Thats weird because i feel like people missed how ciara got her man 🤦🏾♀️ people just so bitter she just wanted to support women who are thinking they have to stay with men thats not good for them . Thats the message of the song pour into you first
Empressive your Name Alone depicts Your Commentary. Well to Be honest it's Extraordinary! I Love your Your topics and I Pray that you Continue to Bring Us the Stories/News that you know We Crave! Thank You 💖
Ima need people to appreciate Ciara better. She know she married but everybody not married like her and finding the one is a journey sometimes. She just showing love to the lonely girls that even if they don't find a man soon that they're alright as themselves. What's wrong with that?
Yeah, and that's why a lot of women in relationships settled and aren't happy. A man or relationship shouldn't define you. If you find the RIGHT person GREAT! If not, that's cool as well. 🤷🏿♀️ A partner is a bonus it's nice to have but u should be good without it.
I don’t agree with the ciara slander. Everyone isn’t going to end up with a partner in life! I think it’s okay that she’s marking music with different messages to cater to different demographics of women. Everyone doesn’t strive for the wife life and that’s okay! Usher’s confessions wasn’t even about him. Plenty of writers exist in the music industry. I think, so what that she wrote from a different perspective.
Usher literally embarrassed chilli. That was real shit.we have enough of the “single” music it’s actually wayy over saturated. I liked what she was doing with summer walker, I think she should do more of that. I love her voice with younger artists I want her to do songs with SZA, summer, Muni long, H.E.R, jasmine Sullivan, Ella mai, she’s such a positive influence on young black girls she’s too good to make that kind of music 🤷🏾♀️
@@jasmineartis5754 i get that! I do, but i think there’s a place for different types of music. There’s not only single women, just like there’s a place for rap and a place for R&B. Trust me I love all the R&B girlies, but we don’t all wanna be boo’d up babes! I love that for you though!
That and other artists do it ALL THE TIME but it's not a problem! But Single Ladies AND Irreplaceable both came out in 2008.....the same year Beyonce married Jay Z
Independent woman here, but also married. I work hard, owned my own house, car, and business long before I married. I think women should not depend on a man but there is nothing wrong with us wanting love
I can't knock Ciara's message because let's face it. Not everyone would find that special someone, and we cannot continue to hold our breaths until we do. We need to continue to be sufficient enough for ourselves, just in case we happen to be alone forever. That is the sad reality, but that is a possible reality. We cannot force love to happen, no matter how much we want it to happen
We have to be adults regardless if we find love or not. We have enough independent woman songs. They say we must practice what we preach, but we should also preach what we practice. A lot of women will end up single yes, but a lot of women are also single and independent mothers. We need more marriages in our community. The song is pointless.
@@Alannah__ and guess the hell what? She can make her independent song if she wants also. Don't put no fucking gate around her saying she can't sing about because it's alot out there already. If that's not what you want to tune into then don't.
Exactly. A lot of women are in Lalaland . Like you are not gonna get a Russel Wilson lol. You may find a nice guy with no money or an ugly guy with money. I tell single women all the time build yourself up bc when you’re old the only thing that will matter is how much money you have and your health.
@@tae5692 girl bye cause I don’t even know why you cursing, like I personally offended you lmao RELAX SIS 😂 I said what I said and WHAT are you gonna do. NOTHING 😂
Well it is that independent nature and that big girl energy that made Russell obsessed ! She is giving you the KEY but y’all can’t see it. How many times have we heard that story that love finds you when you least expect it ? Also that type of Russell love comes in with respect because you got your ish together, these women gotta quit playing 😅
When you come out and stand still for two minutes while the fans scream and lose their minds....you are the greatest. MJ and Prince. Rihanna's performance was boring 😵💫
I’m a huge fan of a Beyoncé AND Rihanna but Rihanna’s performance doesn’t come close. Rihanna energy was low, she didn’t even try and hide she was lip syncing and her dancing wasn’t full out. I was expecting something like her 2016 VMA’s performance. Now I know she was pregnant I give her a pass though ❤😂
Can we stop the trend of comparing artist & their crafts? Riri & B have totally different styles & Super Bowl performances… like what’s to gain?? Lol
Seriously, they are two completely different artists. 🤦🏾♀️
@@ochukoasiafor5834 Plus RI retired.
Comparing artists is a natural thing and ya’ll are just gonna have to accept it. We compare sport teams, actors, music, artists, tv shows, movies and etc. Famous music stars are not exempt from being compared to each other
Please say it again!
Lol
No … people get talked about all the time . She’s not the universe she can be included in the conversation
Many won't admit it but Ciara would demolish a SuperBowl performance. She has enough hits, the energy, choreography and can bring out Missy and Ludacris as special guests 🔥🔥🔥
Facts
You're not wrong at all. She would've definitely given a WAY better performance than that crap we sat through a couple weeks ago ....
Facts
She has never toured … let alone a world tour. Artist that have performed at the Super Bowl have been around the world as an artist before they ever graced the stage of the Super Bowl.
Oh !!! Ok yea 👌🏾 👏🏾 that would be a good one
I think what Ciara was saying is that you need to be confident and independent with yourself before attracting someone that’s actually worth your time and love. That’s what I got from it.
Well interpreted!!!!!!
This means you have a brain babe! 👏🏾🙏🏾
yes mam. i saw Eloho’s video and she inputted Ciara and russell’s interview about him saying that she wanted him but she didnt need him because she was independent and had it together before they got together
Once you do the crotch-grab/bend over butthole/legs spread , on prime time family super bowl, its over , it’s all garbage
It's a shame how these women sound so d.umb. You said it right.
If you are letting a song tell you how to live your life, that says a lot of about you and your mental state. It's a song not an autobiography. Beyonce sang Single Ladies and she was married to Jay-Z at that time. Cardi had WAP and she was married to Offset. Snoop rapped about being a pimp and he was married. Stop living your life vicariously through celebrities!
I agree 💯👏👏 like why as a artist do u have to make music that reflects your personal life?? 😅 & ppl lack the mental strength to not let music guide their lives. It’s not that deep. Either listen or don’t 💁♀️
I agree with you but those songs you listed weren’t promoting lives they weren’t living.
You clearly never really listened to single ladies because if you did you’d realize the message isn’t being single, it’s about a woman being with a man for years that has no plans to marry her and she’s telling him to put a ring on it or she’ll find someone else who will.
@@s8450631a married woman singing “all my single ladies” ...is what?
At any rate, people can sing whatever they want, this is a ridiculous non issue.
Thank you!!!!
Bey cannot pass one day without being included in a conversation she didn't ask to be in. Proof she's the standard.
The same can be say about Rihanna she didn't Ask to be in the conversation
Exactly 👏👏👏
Yea the standard of evil and wicked, maybe.
They do it to a lot of people not just her
Some celebrities don't play that shit,smh
Beyonce performances are immaculate. Especially her breath control while dancing on stage. That is definitely not a comparison. Rihanna and Beyonce have their own lane.
I really hate how we’ve been conditioned to not give Ciara a chance. How you gonna ask for her prayer but not want to listen to the advice and things she had to focus on to get to where she is? Also Ciara should do Halftime. She got the hits and performance stamina
Correct
Yeah but that song is just tone deaf…unless her and Russell aren’t together anymore? It’s just comes across as patronising. I mean a song like that would’ve worked in like the early to mid 2000’s we’re not in the independent woman era right now
Yes!!! ♥️
I think it would've been well-received if she removed the _independent woman_ aspect out and included a "work on yourself to attract a Russell Wilson type" into the song. That would've sounded more like her giving advice to help women. But no. Half of it is her singing about having standards, which is great, I agree with those parts. But then she also sings about "booking my own trips... This is for the girls that don't need no man" She's giving mixed signals for someone who can literally afford to be a single mother but still chose soft life and marriage.
Not every black artists gonna perfom the superbowl. Your ciara and Chris brown are not loved by white people. No one care about the black community opinion.
Ciara WAS hard working and independent for years! She also recently got the masters to her music on her own. She is now an independent artist, too. I think this backlash is insane.
If she was a male rapper PEOPLE WOULD BE CONGRATULATING HER! I can't stand the hypocrisy of this generation
Damn,insane yes who doesn't want to be independent,there is nothing like being able to do it on your own.
I love Ciara but I think she just does releases at the wrong time. I think people jump to criticize her too much though.
facts
Honestly I think Beyoncé works too hard to be compared to anyone. Like dang what else does she have to do to get the respect she deserves
The best part of Rihanna's performance was the dancers and aesthetics. The best part of Beyonce's performance was Beyonce. Her performance is one you can always go back to over and over again.
Well said, I agree with this!
I stay watching both superbowl appearances by Bey, She even had Kelly and Michelle singing single ladies.
@@mcfarlane1105 Both of halftime show performances are ICONIC and still hold up till this day. She's the Queen of Superbowl period
Rihanna don't have to do like bey, just her present is all we want she don't have to do the most like bey that's no shade
@@jaminickin2564 She literally can't, especially the singing 😭. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, I'm here for both but Beyoncés was better imo bc I love when artists can sing as wll live..
Bey and Ri were both great in their own way. Cant we just enjoy without comparing? Great representation on black talent and it makes me proud
I'm sorry you can't compare her to Beyonce LoL
Riri's performance was OK, it was good to see her back on stage, but even if you compare it to Dr Dre's set last year, there is no comparison. But, I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions
No. Beyonce's been disrespected enough by being compared to that industry plant.
@@arditd7724 Beyoncé is the reason for the industry plant remember that she’s the one that told Jay to sign her and take her seriously over teirra Marie Beyoncé and Rihanna don’t care about that shit y’all do
Can't we stop lying? Rihanna's performance was very dry- plus she can't sing OR dance. She's the biggest trick the music industry has every pulled next to Elvis and Madonna.
I LOVED RIHANNAS PERFORMANCE! I watched it 3 times and will probably watch it again. Thats all Ima say.
Sameeeee!! I play it like it’s on iTunes music or Spotify lolol
The people judging Ciara missed the entire point (and are probably single). If you want a good man worth keeping, you have to attract him. In my experience, all the good men are looking for a woman who doesn't NEED him, but wants him. Being independent doesn't mean being single. It means being confident and secure in your skin, your finances, and your options. Ciara is married, but is still very much independent in my book.
This!
Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
100% Being independent just means being in a position to provide yourself with the life you want instead of expecting or relying on someone else to do it for you. That's important to me, knowing I can do it because I've been that young girl who was so caught up in love and belonging to someone that I put myself in positions where I was fully dependent on them. And dependency is a dangerous place to be in.
THIS!!!
Some people just want to be mad…that’s the curse of social media. It only takes ONE person to put a negative perspective out then here come the bandwagons🤦🏽♀️. I’m sick of people! There is nothing wrong with being independent and I’m married! That’s what attracted my husband to me! She is also talking about embracing your single season…boss up, glow up and just know a man doesn’t make or break you! ❤️❤️😍
As for Ciara, it really bothers me that people want to be the dictator of an artist’s musical talent instead of just skipping over to a song that is best suited for them. Even my favorite musicians have songs I don’t rock with but that doesn’t mean I have to bash their art. People are just ridiculous these days 🙄
I understand what they are saying ciara don't live that single strong woman life so why sing about something she herself does not live no woman won'ts to be strong all the time they want stability as they should
🎯
Thank you! I struggle to understand that too... People really love complaining.
If I like, I listen to it, if I don't I skip, that's it.
Guarantee the people acting like that were born after 2000.
The broken generation.
🤦🏾
These dumbass women took things way too far! It's a damn song! Get the fuck over it! Bashing a black woman, only makes u look stupid! Are they triggered?? That's what it sounds like! Getting all bent outta shape over a damn song! 🙄
Ciara did nothing wrong. The message is not to be or promote to be alone The message is to have women empowerment... And if you get to get married like Ciara and find a person that loves you then fine but if not be by yourself...
I don’t get why there’s constant comparisons with Beyonce and Rihanna. They’re two completely different artists and perform differently also. Rihanna has showed her respects to Beyonce and they’re not in a competition.
Its so annoying.
@@christinem8799 it is! I’ve always thought Bey was the better performer of course but they have their own accomplishments and success.
It's like a combination of people trying to diminish Beyonce but also wanting everyone to be like her lol. It's like they never wanna let these artist stand on their own and be great in their own way.
I like Beyoncé for her talent and her music and I like Rihanna because I feel like she’s more relatable and she’s talented and have great music as well. Comparing them when they are in two different lanes is crazy. Goes to show the industry needs more black female superstars.
There’s comparison because Frank voiced his honest,professional and experienced opinion, in which He himself didn’t even mention Beyoncé at all, as if she was THE ONLY Super Bowl performer ever…And the Beehive …well you know how they do😂. They singled out Beyoncé not Frank. I remember when Bey’s former choreographer “ Danielle Polanco” said that she felt Madonna was a better dancer than Beyoncé ( she worked with both of them) all hell broke loose😂 I’m so sick of people riding Bey’s d@#k…he’s a grown man and entitled to his opinion. And here’s mine. #1Bruno Mars #2 Rihanna #3 Beyoncé.
I think Rihanna’s choreography and dancers were absolutely amazing those dancers had so much energy and stamina I don’t think the dancers are getting their flowers.
They are. Just more on Tik tok, it was crazy over there lol
From the super bowls over past like 5-7yrs or so, My Super Bowl list is:
1. Beyoncé/Bruno & Beyoncé 2nd performance
2. Katy Perry
3. Lady Gaga
4. The Weeknd
5. Dre and everybody
I don’t go back to all performances in history to do an best of all time list. I don’t care enough to do that lol so for the more recent ones this is my list
Rihanna’ performance definitely wasn’t better. Beyoncé was way more insynced with her background dancers. Everyone just missed Rihanna a whole lot, so the anticipation made people love it more.
Eh eh eh☂️
You def summed it up well
@@MsEliteForever so annoying 😂
@@_belloty1394 Yes and was her biggest hit. Her accent with Jay Z helped.
No it was just that good.
I miss the 05-07 Ciara . People evolve and elevate, however that was her era and what most love and appreciate her for musically. ❤I’d definitely love another “And I” or “Promise” type record and that’s what I expected her collab with Summer Walker to sound like. I love that she’s still making music and every song doesn’t have to reflect her current situation 😩 So some people were definitely reaching and if she did release a love song, the question is would they even support it.
@@kayyb exactly! Can’t please everybody
I don't think Ciara is promoting people to be single and alone. I think she just wants people to not feel like they need to depend on a man. She hasn't said don't fall in love, she just means just don't settle
She has friends like Lala who have not been as lucky in love. Maybe she made the song for them, to encourage them and let them know they don't have to be afraid to be alone.
Bingo 🎯
I agree. She was in a toxic relationship with Future before settling into the loving relationship that serves her much better clearly so the song's message might be directed towards that: being independent and loving yourself for the sake of loving yourself (which is so important for choosing a good partner). I think people are reading into it too much
@@omphilemoerane2569 Lala had Carmelo it’s her fault why she’s single and has to be naked on television be relevant.😂😂
Exactly point blank period!!!!!! ❤❤❤💯💯💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't believe there is nothing wrong with what Ciara did. She's simply saying ,you can be content being single, and being with someone. A relationship/ marriage isn't a necessity nor is it mandatory.
It was an extreme chronically online take
@@Sisisiyoyoyoyo people's negative reactions were.
Can we just let these two ladies reign at the same time in peace pls 🙄 no comparisons at all. UNIQUE ❤ that’s what you are 🙌🏽

Im waiting for Chris Brown to jump on that list.
I didn’t have a problem with Rihanna’s performance but I understand why people said it was boring. The dancers were amazing.

He's gotta be bitter because I love Rihanna but especially from a choreography/stage presence perspective, Bey & Bruno and J-Lo & Shakira put on much more entertaining shows. Yes Rihanna's was "chill" but I think that's just a nice way of saying underwhelming.
Lmao @ your last line. I can't help but feel like that's true, that everybody saying Rihanna's super bowl was chill is them just trying to put a positive spin on how underwhelming it was.
My thought exactly n I m.big fan of rihanna
Exactly a nice way of praising mediocrity
@Lakacia Lloyd Beyoncé wanted some change and she outgrew him and got even bigger and better. Her 2016 Superbowl halftime show, Vmas Lemonade medley, Formation World Tour, Beychella have some of her best choreographed performance and he wasn't involved in any of them.. They parted ways in 2014 and started giving her dance routines to J-Lo (cough cough Partition). Her, Chris Grant and Jacquel Knight who did the Single ladies, Diva, Formation dance routines among others have been doing just fine after Frank Gatson departure
I felt the same way. The first time I watched the performance I kept expecting the it moment, when you supposed to feel the energy, but who would’ve thought, 13 minutes in and I felt nothing. Not to mention she ain’t had the mic on too.
Im not a fan of Ciara AT ALL but i think people are dragging it and just jumping on the bandwagon.. shes a musician, she doesn’t only have to make songs that reflects her personal life. People just want to complain.
ppl dont just want to complain. They literally expressed the reason as to why they didn't like the song which is sound. if you like it fine but don't invalid how others perceive the music.
damn u had to caps AT ALL for clarification like she did sum’n personal to u

Point blank period. Like how does one sit up there bothered by stuff like that is beyond me. It's music either listen or don't.
In all due respect I never seen a pregnant woman move like that. Rihanna really gave it her all and then some. She continues to break the mold and boundary's. Watching that performance I saw a confident black woman with no limits all. Continue to inspire Rihanna and Beyonce. There should be no comparison. We all love you both.
Go watch Beyoncé pregnant at the Grammys performance
Lol she barely moved though. And I hate the comparisons but we saw Beyonce move with much more energy, movements, and choreo when she was pregnant
@@JaiK64 go watch Beyoncé pregnant singing love on top
Go watch Ciara video "Rooted" 9 mos pregnant and all
Hell, that was the problem....SHE WASN'T MOVING! WHAT DID SHE DO? THOSE WERE DANCERS THAT PERFORMED. I think she did the worm like once or something.
Bey has the God-given talent of commanding the audience or stadium. She is absolutely captivating. Who could take their eyes off her. I get what Frank was saying visually the creative aesthetics were amazing in Rihanna’s 13 minute performance. The choreography was out of this world and even the ASL interpreter got shine ✨ It wasn’t just a performance it was a showcase of talent and collaborative artistry. We are blessed to live in a time where there are great artists.
Right vocally...style wise, dance wise whatever way you think about it Rihanna best performance couldn't hold up to any Beyonce performance....when Sasha fierce take over its a wrap ...come on it's no comparison. Rihanna is a brilliant business woman a billionaire at that...has hit after hit most that she didn't even write but still she put her swag on and is amazing in many ways yet nah she not better than Beyonce.
@ukreporter1459love your thought process, oh wise one👌
Beyoncé didn’t has the “God” talent it the devil talent
@@spazarellapoet8735 Neither did Beyonce write many of her hit songs. People are unique. That doesn't mean that one person's style is the best. I just watched Rihanna's videos from her first album to the last and man, that girl is one hell of an artiste. She's a major star. Have you asked yourself why Beyonce has the vocals and the energy to dance and perform but Rihanna's records sell better. So much that out of 11 years of her career, Rihanna has amassed 9 Grammys. That's because Rihanna has a divine aura that endears people to her music. She's feisty and savagely in a way that does not have to mean excessive choreography and dance energy but pulls the crowd to her, and keeps them yearning for more.
That an artiste is a performer doesn't mean they're the standard. Everybody is standard in their own right. Rihanna is not much of a performer but she still has great hits, her records sell faster and better than Beyonce, she's beautiful and earthy despite her BILLIONAIRE status. Rihanna doesn't lose sleep where Beyonce is concerned cause she's the billionaire boss folks. Get this into your fucking skulls.

@@deviantmoore9744 I didn’t say he did say anything bad about Beyoncé. He what he said about Rihanna’s Super-Bowl performance and I said what I said about Beyoncé as a performer, meaning no one; including Rihanna’s Super-bowl performance was better than any of Bey’s performances. Period, so stfu.
I love Rihanna’s Super Bowl for the exact same reasons he mentioned. Was it the best, no. Why because the main artist was pregnant and couldn’t give a complete performance but considering that she did amazing. Those dancers was flawless and that stage usage was top tier the best to me. They used the entire field. She stood out with that riri red and she looked absolutely confident and comfortable in her skin as she usually does. She wasn’t trying to be extra because she didn’t have to. It was amazing, we need to stop comparing.
Ciara is an ENTERTAINER creating ART. Her song is either for you or it ain't... pple really be making a big deal out of Nuthin
That is a wild take to say Rihanna's performance was better than Beyonce. Absolutely wild.
Ciara is one of the best performer ever. She is super talented and rivals Janet and Micheal in the dance department. I am glad she really does not perform to win awards. She performs because she loves it.
The thing is Frank is a legend himself his work, choreography is outstanding. No shade to Rhi but what people don't realise coming from a dancer or a choreography point of view ( he should know better) how does that make her the best Super bowl performance what she did was average. Without bringing Beyonce into it I could name other better performances MJ, PRINCE ECT ECT ..... this " theory" doesn't make sense so I do believe his being shady
This! Disappointing, coming from a talented person himself who doesn’t have to resort to pettiness for attention but… They know that even by insinuating Bey’s name, it’s gonna end up in a headline somewhere. Smh. If his compliment was all about Rihanna, WITHOUT the attention-seeking, he could’ve just congratulated her on a great show without all the extra stuff.

I’m sorry but It’s obviously Rihanna has no passion for music anymore. I don’t blame her because she’s accomplished so much and doesn’t have anything to prove.

Context is key.
WANT, and NEED are 2 different things. Ciara sings the words "This is for the girls that don't need no man". Ppl are confusing the 2. Ciara ALSO wasn't always a married woman. Why can't she sing about what she's experienced? Tons of rappers out here rap about drugs they never pushed, and bodies they ain't got. Why can't Ciara sing about what she had as a lived experience? Also, she is MORE than what her marriage makes her. She's still an individual. The song is literally a love letter to women, and a list of Affirmations. This is so weird to be pissed at. Fake outrage at its finest. What's more, is Russel did an interview way back, and he literally told Ciara that one of the BIGGEST things that drew him to her, was the fact she didn't NEED him. She WANTED him.
The housewife comments are also VERY dumb. Ciara without Russ has a $30million net worth. She was good b4 him too. Of all the shit to get mad it. Really???
Well said!!
It's nice to know someone has common sense and a brain.
Frank knew what he was doing when he said that😆😆

I can’t believe we still have Beyoncé vs Rihanna comparisons in 2023, it’s really embarrassing

Thank you so much for mentioning Shakira and J Lo! Idk how many times I've gone back to watch them. They did that! It was my favorite so far, but I did enjoy Rih as well. You can't expect the same type of performance from everyone. That's the point of having different artists perform. I don't expect her to approach the super bowl like Beyonce' bc she's not Beyonce'. Not being Beyonce' does not equal bad lol.
I'm not even a big Beyonce fan like that but he sound like a disgruntled worker who was let go
RIGHT🤣
Exactly 💯, he hella' SALTY & delusional 🙄
Exactly just because he’s not on Beyoncé’s pay roll anymore so he’s gotta say BS staff
He just proved why he got the CHOP
Let’s be honest, if Ciara made a love song about her man, they would’ve said it’s corny.
I thought being a strong independent woman was being praised nowadays. Besides…some women do not want to be married.
The song was for them
They gonna criticize every thing she do people are miserable asf
Exactly. I'm not looking for the wife life and get tired of married women trying to force their life choices down your throat. I appreciate the variety.
she did make a love song about her man called “Greatest Love”
i like it ✨
Both Bey n RiRi are in a lane of their own. I love them both for many reasons. There is no comparison. If her younger fans want to sit out on a limb for her & yelled till they don’t have no more air in their lungs then let them her fan base is huge. & I know us millennials who have follow their discography since they were 16 we know how great both of them are. Both so talented & everything this choreographer said about them was spot on 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 u can appreciate both of their entertainment styles. I agree she was up 200 ft in the air & made it look too easy WHILE PREGGO y’all don’t understand esp. if ur no women who’s ever carried & is over protective like RiRi seems to be as a mom she made effortless smooth and vocals all look easy when their not of course she paced herself she had too either way I loved how she thought of every angle up to even Justina her ASL interpreter RIRi is just spot on with what she does and Bey loves precision too so I just know they both appreciate each other so stop comparing there is no comparison
Prince is still till this day my favorite performance at the Super Bowl ☔️ in the rain too, dancers & all in that slippery ass stage 😂💃🏾Prince is a real performer. 🔥
Yep!
HANDS DOWN
Yesss
“Better Things” was great. That WAS the empowering song. So was “Rooted.” For her next song, I think it should be an empowering dance love song with a Caribbean or Afrobeat vibe. She could also make a song that doesn’t include “the girls”, but addresses “the haters” saying that her relationships made her pop and she’s washed up. That’s what I would love to hear.
I want Ciara to sing the kind of music that Rihanna sings. She could just make great dance music but this ain’t it.
she already make a song like that…it’s called “Freak Me” ft. Tekno. check it out
@@Aurora0510 no shade but she's been making the dance music that you want to hear since her 3rd album and a certain audience has been on her neck since telling her to stop making music like that and stick to what she knows which is urban r&b.
@@teezyaye4138 Thats was the Fantasy Ride album and she had Love Sex and Magic, Work with Missy and Go. That was a solid album. Her music at times can be hit or miss cuz the album Ciara with Body Party, Overdose and I’m Out was a really good album, almost no skip good.
@@teezyaye4138⁵. can't please people! But do they even support her artistry by purchasing her songs/albums, attending live shows, watching TV performances etc!! She doesn't have to express one message. All BW don't want to be married.... living life as a "kept" woman is such a derogatory way to describe Ciara.🤦🏽♀️
Beyoncé's live performances saved me from deep depression but I preferred Rihanna’s performance at this time because it was so chill and chill is what I need at this time. I've only watched Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance once. I have watched Rihanna’s every day since it aired. However, I'm anxiously waiting for her tour and more live performances.
Ciara's song doesn’t sound that bad. Some of the fans are always going to find something to complain about.
The twitter activists😒
Facts like leave this women alone Fr Fr
Ciara reveals a wonderful love life to her fans so her fans want to see that being reflected in her music. Its literally that simple wth are you talking about?
u know how many life she has? I guarantee u haven’t checked out her last 2 albums. there were love songs all over them. y’all are so weird and fake mad
Yall clearly missed the point of the message. All of these women promoting independence and acting like hoes (Ciara, Beyonce, Rihanna, Cardi B, etc) are all boo'd up or married. Why don't they promote that? Why do black women have to be tied to single/baby mama culture?
You don't have to agree. But the art of music is meant to be felt and analyzed.
We analyzed it. We didn't feel it lol.
I didn't think Riri's SB performance was all that great until the next day when I realized there was no TV magic & those stages were seriously floating around with dozens of dancers killing choreography with precision on the field, stage & moving platforms. They all moved with the energy & confidence, along with the pregnant Rihanna as if they were all on solid ground or didnt have moving stages above their heads. She understood the assignment, revealed her baby bump, had her dancers bring the heat, even her ASL interpreter crushed it. It was so great I didn't believe it was real, so yeah, it was amazing & best ever!
Best ever, surely you don’t believe that. Go back and watch a few more
Super glad to know that you enjoyed it
@@ThekatrinamugumeSo people aren't allowed to have their own opinions?
FACTS!
Denice d@ft comment
I truly HATE that Rih can never have a moment 😩 A Rihanna always becomes a “Beyoncé vs . Rihanna “ and it’s so pathetic to me ‼️ why can’t Rih get her rightful flowers just like others who’ve made contributions?
Beyoncé killed the super bowl, her energy, choreography, she ate and left no crumbs.I went back and watched her performance after Rihanna’s cause Rihanna just did not give what needed to be gave for such a big event.I needed to be fulfilled.And Dre,Snoop,Eminem,Mary and Kendrick killed it last year,periodt⏺
How did snoop, Dre, Em and Mary do better than Rihanna? They didn’t do any choreography and certainly weren’t pregnant. They stood in the same place and performed. I’m having a hard time really seeing how they were all that?
Shes pregnant couldn't dance much tf? Lol
@@sandram6374 Rihanna is a lackluster performer periodt even when she wasn’t pregnant, she just doesn’t have it and never will, and who made up the myth that you can’t dance when your pregnant,I have been around plenty of women who dance when pregnant and go hard including my wife
@@neeshespieces They didn’t need all the extra, they got bars, and what rappers dance?,it’s about the energy that you put into a performance, the passion, and she just doesn’t have passion,she never has,she’s always skated by to me with no real talent, she can’t sing and can’t dance, she’s average……………..basic,bland
@@Ace-zc9hv you sound absolutely ridiculous. Just 🤫
“You look so dumb right now…”
I love Ciara... would like to see her music evolve as she ages and grows! I get this is the type of music that got her put on, but this ain't it, record after record!
Thank uuu
I think people reach too far. Ciara was once single and had to have that mindset before she got her blessing to be Married. Furthermore, there are groups of women who are living in the space of the lyrical content of the song. I think people need to stop taking things literal as every message in a song is just not for everybody and that’s fine. But don’t limit an artist in their lyrical content. Writers write not only based on their experiences but others as well and I believe people should keep this in mind when listening to an artist. 🙏🏽
Give Janet a whole set by herself and she would show some of yall why she is the blueprint. The thing is that Janets Jackson Super Bowl performance was outshined by the controversy surrounding Nipplegate. The gag is that people forget that the whole event was hosted by MTV and it contained P Diddy, Kid Rock and Beyonce (who performed the National Anthem). Janet and her tatas outshined them all. That says alot.
You forgot Nelly
I would like to see a Ciara superbowl, that would be great! ❤️
That ain't happening lol. Someone white or Taylor Swift will be there next year! We already had 3 or 4 black halftime shows in a row. It's time for a break haha.
Or Usher
Adele is in a whole happy relationship yet still makes breakup music. She never said be alone forever. When u r a artist you don’t speak from just the present you speak from your experience
I had the same thoughts regarding Ciara’s song, however, I get it. She was established before Russell. I believe her experiences prior to him inspired the song and have a lot to do with why she was able to obtain and keep the man she has. She can focus on the love she receives because there’s nothing else a man could do to “complete” her BUT love her fiercely. Nothing wrong with remembering where you started!
You get it! Maybe that's why these women complaining can't get a man of their own. Real men like a woman who has her own thing going on outside of him. It makes you a more interesting person to be around.
And she literally made a song about they’re love but nobody listened to it. The “ Greatest Love” flopped badly. They all need to honest with themselves because they don’t know what the want fr
Frank wants to be seen, heard, and known…..ain’t no way he thought Ri’s performance was better and I Loove her!! Bey & Bruno are my favorites along with MJ. They better staahhp.
I agree Ri did good but let’s be real Beyoncé is just a natural at being a live performer
Ciara is an artist and every song doesn’t have to represent her situation. But the fans have a right to respond and she should respond back give clarification on where you coming from with new song❤️🎤❤️🎤❤️
As a HUGE fan of Ciara, I haven't been the happiest with her recent music output.
However, while I have my criticisms of her direction, I think people are WAY harsher on her music and hold her to higher standards than other artists. When Ciara did attempt to try new sounds and explore more topics (Fantasy Ride, a very underrated pop, pop soul, and alt r&b album) she got heat for moving away from crunk. Now that she's comfortable and trying to please her core audience, the goalpost moved .... And let's be honest, her music isn't at all worse than most of what gets to chart.
Ciara’s music has gone so bad. She hasn’t released anything good since “Dance like we’re making love”
Exactly.
Selective outrage
@@22runner No It hasn't.
The message is right. People took that wrong and I think that’s why a lot of our people are failing in relationships! We have to be independent individuals and complete before we get into a relationship. We as women should not NEED a man but WANT a man. It’s ok to be taken care of and loved but also be our own individual and independent and stronger together with our partner. Nothing wrong with that message. We have to do better.
With Ciara she doing her job giving songs that ppl (majority) buy. But she can flip it if her album transition from single, broken hurt, giving up, finding love, ect
The Queen gets Brought up everyday 🐝 every 👏🏽 single 👏🏽 day
Ciara's song is being hated because she's married but irreplaceable and single ladies were by a married woman and were big hits. Keep the same energy for everyone not just your favs.
Are those two songs really comparable tho? Single ladies was like 'if you like then you should have put a ring on it"
@@evamathebula4448 Facts
Actually single ladies was about putting a ring on it. And if u really like me, than marry me then.
....they need to keep this energy for they favorite male rappers😏
Additionally said married woman wasn’t even married in 06 when irreplaceable dropped…
Agreed, Ciara we wanna hear where you are TODAY! Greatest Love was another record slept on. Would love to hear some raw R&B right now!
Ciara probably was just trying to tell single women to keep your head up. It’s not her fault if you don’t have anybody . Now if she made a song talking about how rich her husband is and bragging folks would drag her for not being relatable .
Bingo! She just triggers their jealousy and envy. Damned if she do and damned if she don't. But there are hella out artists out her that get to have freedom of expression married or not.
@@tae5692 yup
I’m married and I agree with the single ladies and their responses. I’m glad I’m not doing everything by myself and have someone to help me. I’m very grateful for that.
Beyonce was not even single when she did Single Ladies or Irreplaceable!
@@lorettaknoelk3475 I’m class of 2003.
I don’t remember her and Jay NOT being together. They’ve literally been together since I was a teenager in high school!
ALL her songs were cap.
@@ClowneryAtItsFinest she married him in 2008....the year SINGLE Ladies came out.
@@lorettaknoelk3475 Like I said JAY & BEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. They’ve been together at least 20 years.
Both shows were great in different ways! Why they can't both Win 💜
Ciara must to do the superbowl ❤❤
It is will be magic !!!!
Since when do artist need to make music that’s personal to what they are going through at the time? If that’s the case, Beyoncé is talking about “I might start an Only Fans”🤨🤨🤨So that’s reflective of what’s she currently going through? How is that overlooked but Ciara gets backlash?!?!? Those same people complaining about Ciaras music, most likely didn’t buy her previous singles she made that were made more for their taste.
All the way from the Netherland..
Just like to say Thank you for making this Channel..
You Always keeps it Real..
Giving your opinion on the contents you do.
In a very good and decent way..
✌🏼❤️ .
Thats weird because i feel like people missed how ciara got her man 🤦🏾♀️ people just so bitter she just wanted to support women who are thinking they have to stay with men thats not good for them . Thats the message of the song pour into you first
But when Beyoncé drop single ladies as a married woman y’all was singing it Word for Word at the top of your lungs
Yeah they were!
It also helped that it was a good song.
This comment need to be pinned‼️🗣️
yaas....say that!!!!
Yes!the hypocrisy is real
Empressive your Name Alone depicts Your Commentary. Well to Be honest it's Extraordinary! I Love your Your topics and I Pray that you Continue to Bring Us the Stories/News that you know We Crave! Thank You 💖
Ima need people to appreciate Ciara better. She know she married but everybody not married like her and finding the one is a journey sometimes. She just showing love to the lonely girls that even if they don't find a man soon that they're alright as themselves. What's wrong with that?
How about Missy E do a Super Bowl performance!
I'm totally here for Missy doing a Superbowl performance!!
Either missy or usher but next year they will probably give it to a pop artist and it’s only a matter of time before Adele or Taylor get there slot.
@@Ak-zn1dr Adele music is toooooo sad and full of piano ballads. Nobody wants to see her doing the halftime show lol
The forever competition is sooo tiring. Because where would we be without either of these Queens please? It needs to be done now x
Beyoncé will always have the best superbowl performance
Prince's was better.
Mj better
Both Prince and Michael Jackson!!
Rihanna’s performance was lit …outstanding different from everyone’s
@@bibygal_maya I love Rihanna!!
People have lied…. But never have they lied like Frank Gatson. New name, frank 🧢son.
🤣
LFMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ciara is an artist and can sing whatever she wants
Yeah, and that's why a lot of women in relationships settled and aren't happy. A man or relationship shouldn't define you. If you find the RIGHT person GREAT! If not, that's cool as well. 🤷🏿♀️ A partner is a bonus it's nice to have but u should be good without it.
I don’t agree with the ciara slander. Everyone isn’t going to end up with a partner in life! I think it’s okay that she’s marking music with different messages to cater to different demographics of women. Everyone doesn’t strive for the wife life and that’s okay! Usher’s confessions wasn’t even about him. Plenty of writers exist in the music industry. I think, so what that she wrote from a different perspective.
I thought Usher’s confessions was about him cheating. That shows my age though because I only knew 3 songs by him 😂
Usher literally embarrassed chilli. That was real shit.we have enough of the “single” music it’s actually wayy over saturated. I liked what she was doing with summer walker, I think she should do more of that. I love her voice with younger artists I want her to do songs with SZA, summer, Muni long, H.E.R, jasmine Sullivan, Ella mai, she’s such a positive influence on young black girls she’s too good to make that kind of music 🤷🏾♀️
@@coffeebean4356 Jermaine Dupri wrote the confession songs, usher just sang it and capitalized off of the speculation! 🤣
@@jasmineartis5754 i get that! I do, but i think there’s a place for different types of music. There’s not only single women, just like there’s a place for rap and a place for R&B. Trust me I love all the R&B girlies, but we don’t all wanna be boo’d up babes! I love that for you though!
That and other artists do it ALL THE TIME but it's not a problem! But Single Ladies AND Irreplaceable both came out in 2008.....the same year Beyonce married Jay Z
Independent woman here, but also married. I work hard, owned my own house, car, and business long before I married. I think women should not depend on a man but there is nothing wrong with us wanting love
If you were single before Ciara's new single, then 9 times out of 10 you will remain single long after the song is released. Work on you boo.
I can't knock Ciara's message because let's face it. Not everyone would find that special someone, and we cannot continue to hold our breaths until we do. We need to continue to be sufficient enough for ourselves, just in case we happen to be alone forever. That is the sad reality, but that is a possible reality. We cannot force love to happen, no matter how much we want it to happen
We have to be adults regardless if we find love or not. We have enough independent woman songs. They say we must practice what we preach, but we should also preach what we practice. A lot of women will end up single yes, but a lot of women are also single and independent mothers. We need more marriages in our community. The song is pointless.
@@Alannah__ and guess the hell what? She can make her independent song if she wants also. Don't put no fucking gate around her saying she can't sing about because it's alot out there already. If that's not what you want to tune into then don't.
Exactly. A lot of women are in Lalaland . Like you are not gonna get a Russel Wilson lol. You may find a nice guy with no money or an ugly guy with money. I tell single women all the time build yourself up bc when you’re old the only thing that will matter is how much money you have and your health.
Y’all make being alone sound so horrible 😭. It really isn’t
@@tae5692 girl bye cause I don’t even know why you cursing, like I personally offended you lmao RELAX SIS 😂 I said what I said and WHAT are you gonna do. NOTHING 😂
Well it is that independent nature and that big girl energy that made Russell obsessed ! She is giving you the KEY but y’all can’t see it. How many times have we heard that story that love finds you when you least expect it ? Also that type of Russell love comes in with respect because you got your ish together, these women gotta quit playing 😅
When you come out and stand still for two minutes while the fans scream and lose their minds....you are the greatest. MJ and Prince. Rihanna's performance was boring 😵💫
I’m a huge fan of a Beyoncé AND Rihanna but Rihanna’s performance doesn’t come close.
Rihanna energy was low, she didn’t even try and hide she was lip syncing and her dancing wasn’t full out. I was expecting something like her 2016 VMA’s performance. Now I know she was pregnant I give her a pass though ❤😂
