Video: Ciara performed with Chris Brown. Why?

Sandra Rose June 25, 2008

Last week, I broke the scoop about Ciara performing on the BET Awards. Apparently that info wasn’t out yet. Sorry, Ci Ci! But how disappointed were you to see Ciara performing with Chris Brown instead of alone or with anyone else? Ciara is too grown and too talented to duet with Chris Brown. Bad move.

I just mentioned this in the other post.I mean the perfomance was ok, but I had to take my younger company (which was my 9-10 year old cousins)to another room.It didn’t strike me, but I thought the show overall was GHETTO ASS HELL, except Al Green and Marvin Sapp.We still have some good!
lovezoe

I thought that was one of the best performaces of the night. I guess being from VA I am a little biased. I do not see how she is too grown for Chris Brown, they did an excellent job!

R u serious? I dont know who’s vocal inability is worst: Ciara’s deep whispers or Rihanna’s whatever it is u wanna call it…. And what the hell was Ciara gonna perform? 1,2 Step? Promise? Child please, she did what she does best… Stripper dancing
ms.peaches

I don’t get it I thought it was a good performance & she ain’t all that older than Chris, Chris is a damn good dancer SR whats the deal?? other than Rhianna twitching in her seat(lol)

Sorry Sandra, I usually agree with you, but that perfromance was HOTT!! Ciara did that…TO answer your question why she didnt perform alone…well, what would she have performed. He album has died and she performed last year. And Chris Brown is like the hottest lil dude out now, so it made sense for her to be there….

Their performace was hot to me… The best part was Rhi Rhi’s face as Cici briefly molested Chris Brown as a part of the routine.
Sharonda

^ Lol, when they put the camera on her I was like Busted!
Bubbles

I loved their performance. Ciara is an amazing dancer and she added something special to his set. I’d love to see them do a song/video together.
dallas214

I mean to say, her album has died and she performed last year…the only bad thing about the performance is it was too short. I wouldve loved to see them work each other out to Take You Down!!
LovelyLady

Okay Sandra I love CICI but in no way is she more talented then Chris Brezzy………………..she can’t dance better (although I love the way she moves) and she can’t sign betteer either.,………….Chris is by far more talented………….wasn’t that CiCi that rode the bike out at Nellys performance I think so that’s the only girl i know who moves like that
LovingBre

The performance the best behind Alicia Keys tribute to the Fab Girl Groups of the 90s. Ciara danced not sang. It was great for me, but hey I am from the South where we grind a lot. LOL. He was better than the overhyped U…R. Who simply revamped his video……
ms.peaches

Ciara must be taking the same shot as Alicia or either they just getting that good wood(lol) I love the lil matrix part at the end!!
black beauty

Good performance… she’s in his age group I don’t see have ahe’s too old for him. BUT I love to look at Rhianna’s facial expression when the camera cuts to her and she’s forcing herself to smile hilarity!
MOCHAMOMMY

If they would’ve done anymore, it would’ve been a certified porno
GaPeach2005

Ummm how was it a bad move?!?! Ciara did have another perform with Nelly later on in the show, but that wasn’t a GREAT performance. I think her and Chris did a good job. Chris Brown is an artist that is hot right now, so its not like it hurted her career or anything.What little career she has right now. and what was she going to perform hasn’t drop an album or any new songs.

@ Sharonda
I know right lol

Just friends my ass
browni007

Their performance was nice. Would you have preferred Ciara with Fiddy!
black beauty

@ ms.peaches

You are so right I told my BF it must be are new 42″ plasma making everone hips go from one side of the screen to the next because everyone that came on stage looked extra thick last night especially AKeys and Ashanti’s thunder thighs LOL

Question: Ciara performed with Chris Brown. Why?

Answer: B/C she is better at dancing then singing!!!!!!!! I like the freaky deaky performance. Thank God my little girl fall asleep by then I didn’t recognize her at first or see her name scrolling in the back until the end. I had to rewind it to really appreciate the performance. But it was good. That song is a little to grown & sexy for Chris B. to be singing AND performing.
LovelyLady

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF SANDRA WTF IS GOING ON WITH THIS WORD PRESS SH8T SHEESH I HAVE TO KEEP RE LOADING MY DAMN COMPUTER
jadecool

Ciara did her thing, they fans of each other, they are condisered the new school of dancing so why not, it was great, they shut it down. That honestly was one of the best parts of the show her comming out there.
Caron02

Sandy u act as if she danced with him to KISS KISS..C’mon now. The perfomance was great not a bad look for Cee Cee at all.
LovelyLady

Okay i didn’t see the CB and CI CI performance until now…………the dancing part was str8 fire………..they both killed it……….two dancing mofo’s
VAALLDAY

I thought it was a good performance. Very tasteful for the adult audience. VA STAND UP!!!!
kitty4shigady

They killed it that shyt was hott!!!!!
j-lo843

Okay somebody give me a virtual slap…How come I did not know that was CiCi?…I thought she was a regular dancer…Damn that goes to show how uninteresting the awards were.
teecee

ci ci has no project out, she was happy to get on the show because alot of artist with projects out didnt get on the show. im sure her agent practically phone sexed some 1 to get booked on the show. i noticed that chris brown got what my grandma use to call a settin up head. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
brwnsugga4you

i’m working on my back bend as we speak….
shunda

I didn’t realize that was Ciara either. She did perform with Nelly on stepped on my J’s. Rhi Rhi was pissed. It was written all over her face she didn’t have to say a word lol
ms.peaches

I think Ciara was Chris original crush, he been checking her out since she was with Bow Wow (lol) I have to agree with everyone cause I didn’t know it was her either until SR posted it I thought she was a random chick cause when she performed with Nelly she had a bob & her voice was a lil off, ah hell it was way off but the sista can dance!!
marshefen

I hadn’t even realized it was Ciara at first. But I thought the performance was HOT!
MzScorpo

Sorry Sandra, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Ciara did her THANG…..and she didn’t even have to speak. No one can mess with her dancing skills! Then the Matrix thing at the end…WHAT! She upstaged Chris!!!!All I have to say is Go Ci Ci!!!
D.Ortiz

SANDRA YOUR SUCH A COCK BLOCKER, YOUR JUST MAD CAUSE YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE FUCKING RIHANNA. I LOVED THE PERFORMANCE IT WAS MY FAVORITE OF THE NIGHT. IF ANYTHING I WOULD LOVE TO SEE CHRIS AND CIARA DO SOMETHING TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE B/C THEY ARE BOTH GREAT ENTERTAINERS UNLIKE THAT PITIFUL PERFORMANCE BY RIHANNA.
j-lo843

@ ms.peaches

Dammit I need another virtual slap cause I didn’t know that was her performing with Nelly either…Oh hell I got to start paying attention..lol
terika83

I thought it was ok. I loved the rain visual and Ciara is the best female dancer out right now, Chris probably asked her to come out. It’s not like she sang or anything, and that back bend she did was CRAZY. I definitely don’t think Ciara is more established than Chris Brown (Music wise)…I would say they are on the same level.
tintin

i fully agree. this woman has already set her mark in the entertainment world, they had her working like she’s some back up dancer for him. as good as it was, they could have got any girl to do what ciara did.
terika83

Why does everyone keep calling the show ghetto as well? I didn’t see anything different about it. They make them say corny jokes just as all the other award shows do. What’s so ghetto about that?
knockkey

AGREE 100% WITH SANDRA ROSE . The time is her and now that we all support CIARA . CIARA is the greatest entertainer alive of this era, not to take anything away from the Jackson but gratest comes along every 20 years or more. This is her time just like artist before her. Sandra what other are failing to realize that with all the negativity online,that we are hurting ourself to grow larger and greater than whites, they read your blog as well all the other. Ciara can’t fight viacom alomg,they are intentionally deleting her video and tampering with the view counts, if Ciara not the best don’t block her blessing. Ciara is truly chosen by God , her talent is above supreme, know previous training in singing or dancing. Ciara has signed with modeling agency WIHEIMNA and is in talk to launch her own clothing line in departments stores soon along with her book.
terika83

@ ms.peaches I might have to disagree with you on that one. Back then when everyone was trying to pin them together after her and Bow Wow broke up and everyone said they would make a cute couple, CB came out and said “I don’t wan’t Ciara”.
http://www.smokiesays.blogspot.com/ Smokie

I surely didn’t want to hear Ciara sing. I thought she did a great job dancing and looking cute. It was short and sweet.
PAGESINADIARY

SANDRA, THAT WAS NOT A BAD MOVE BUT A GOOD ONE, HER CD IS OLD NOW AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING OUT NEW. THAT PERFORMANCE WAS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!
prynsexxx

The performance was hot, but the ending was WHACK. Why did they just end like that. I was disappointed. But the performance was live, especially the waterfall heart thingy. Although Taylor Swift (lil country singer) danced around in on at the CMA (country music awards……..yes I watched it….annnnnnd), Chris Brown took it to a whole notha’ level.

lol PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE BEING SARCASTIC,CIARA IS NO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELES ON THIS PLANET, GOD HAD CHOSEN EACH ONE OF US AND HAS PLANS FOR EACH ONE OF US. PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE THESE ENTERTAINERS ARE HOLY AND ABOVE ALL, THESE ARE REGULAR PEOPLE WHO AS A PROFESSION SING, DANCE, AND ACT. ITS A JOB

Ciara is not too talented to perform with Chris Brown. I just think she is too big a star to serve as his dancer which was her only role last night. She can’t dance better than him and she damn sure can’t sing better than him or at all for that matter.
scorpio

CIARA has major talent. Her singing may not be the best but who’s is. Someone needs to tell T-Pain to sit down. Ciara could be a JANET if she had the right team.

************************************************************

Join the club. When Ciara’s name came up on the backdrop I still didn’t get it. I was like, “damn BET so ghetto, they got the wrong name on the screen.” It really didn’t register with me at all that Ciara would be a back up dancer. I watched the whole show and blogged on it all night while it was going on and still didn’t know until right now that it was Ciara.
ThatCarmen

It was a pleasant surprise to see Ciara perform with him. They are both great entertainers and his 5min was garbage until she hit the stage. I loved the awards all together last night… I was up dancing to Al Green…Its the first time I watched the whole show without yawning!
MissR2008

she didn’t duet with Chris…she danced with him, which is what she should stick to…when she came out and performed with Nelly and JD her vocals were awful….
brinabelle

Sandra says
But I did watch enough to hear some of the most atrocious “singing” in the history of televised Awards shows. I guess the entertainment standard is set so low in R&B and Hip Hop that no one even cares anymore

and then goes on to say
But how disappointed were you to see Ciara performing with Chris Brown instead of alone or with anyone else? Ciara is too grown and too talented to duet with Chris Brown. Bad move.

OK Sandra ..i wasn’t disappointed when Ciara performed with Chris Brown because she was in her element..you know DANCING!..she lip synched(sp) her ass off during her subpar performance with Nelly, but she killed it dancing with Chris Brown..Ciara is not a singer, she will NEVER have any vocal skills- give it up!
ThatCarmen

I agree that some of the vocals were off that night. Ive heard many of these singers in person and have heard them sound better. I wonder if the sound was a little off in that place or something? Oh well, at least for the most part, the show wasnt a ghetto mess.

Also agree that Ciara is a great overall entertainer and that helps to crutch her soso vocals.

IM PUTTING OUT AN APB FOR 2THICK**********

IF YALL SEE HER TELL HER THAT NELLY MADE IT TO THE MORNING WOOD SPOT!!!
Lisa

Wow Sandra your bias toward Chris Brown is so obvious. Chris is with your favorite girl RiRi and you can’t stand it! Chris Brown is young and talented and he can dance like it’s nobodies business! So can Ciara. This duo makes perfect sense! They turned it out!!!
candycane

I saw that performance twice. My mom has direct TV so I saw that one part twice. It was VERY raunchy and my lil neice and nephew were watching when I was at my moms, so I was a little embarassed. But once I got home and watched it again, still raunchy, but they did the thing. I like how she leaned all the way back then he pushed her up with his leg. Nice move.

I’ve never seen Chris that nasty, I guess Lil Miss Sunshine done gave it up and he’s going all willy nilly
LADYTEA

I don’t know about you, but for me, that was on the money!! they look good together dancing, the choreography was slamming!! good choice!!
candycane

The fact that it was Ciara is what made it better. Had it been some random chick, I dont think it would have been talked about as much. BET likes doing dream collabos with people who wouldn’t normally perform together, but would be really good to see.
pointhimout

that ending was hot…i liked it.
MzDetermined

I think the performance was good and Ciara is not that much older then Chris… Other then that I have to agree with Sharonda about the show being ghetto, because I was thinking the same thing when I was watching it.
miamore73

I thought they were a good pair to put together. I didn’t find it raunchy or anything else. It certainly wasn’t more raunchy as Usher’s useless performance. Where did he go Strippers R Us for those dancers?
mjoylaw

I hated the dance with CB and CiCi. Like many I had no idea that was her; who would expect her in such a back up role? The songs were tired az hell to fans (who have heard them a milli times), why didn’t Tina use these awards as an opportunity to debut some new singles, Chris has mad fresh material they aren’t even using! I hated the choreography, they were trying to be novel but it was just awkward! At one point CB even pushed Ciara, it was horrible. And WTF was that at the end? Matrix my azz, it was just wack. Both can do WAAAY better than that mess. JMO
Unique26

I loved it…that was actually on the top of my good list. She also did well when she performed with Nelly. That is true…she hasn’t really done anything besides calabo’s in a minute.
bklynchick

Their performance was hott!!!! Both of them did their thang!! Chris Breezy and CiCi turned it up all the way. I bet Ri Ri couldn’t of danced like that??
http://myspace.com/sfh50millionpounds mj

They did very good. Im sure they brought her out because of so many other stars that had hot girls come out and dance with them. It started with Michael Jackson and his The Way You Make Me Feel song that he performed with a no named dancer and later performed it live with Britney Spears. Then we had Usher bring out Beyonce to dance with him on one of his tours. All she did was dance without singing a word. And then Justin and Janet kinda did the same thing. And so on and so on..
cocoa49

like i said over and over….ciara is a great entertainer not a singer. it is not hating just stating a fact.

R u freakin’ kidding us? That performance was so damned HOT i almost peed my carpet. dawg…i said too much…
kay

I think any performance where Ciara is kept out of the microphone is a good look!
Vegas Dice

I’m sure Chris “took somethin down” after the awards..

If I was Ri Ri.. Immediately at commercial break, I would’ve rocked Chris in one of the trailer’s..

Take these down.. Lol!
