Five things that may have happened to Ciara’s “Sweat”

Remember how Ciara released a somewhat hot but tired new single called “Sweat” last month, and everybody was talking about it for, like, three seconds? Well, aren’t you wondering what the hell’s happened to it since then? It was billed as the lead single from CiCi’s comeback album, but nobody has even mentioned it since the day it premiered.

Something fishy is definitely going on here, so I put my thinking cap on, and came up with the top five things that may have happened to “Sweat”.

5. The U.S. government put “Sweat” in a capsule with the rest of Ciara’s discography and blasted it off into space, in the hope that some kind of extra-terrestrial being may find it and learn important things about earth – such as what Crunk’n'B is, and how to turn a lead single into a ‘buzz’ single.

4. It was thrown into the same trash can / landfill / black hole that contains T-Boz’s shelved solo album and everything that Christina Milian has recorded since So Amazin’.

3. The staff of That Grape Juice melted the promotional CDs down and molded them into gigantic dildos.

2. Demi Lovato begged L.A. Reid to give “Sweat” to her instead, so she can include it on her next album of outdated urban-pop scraps.

1. It’s been delayed while Ciara tries to convince Kim Kardashian to loan her $250,000 to get Nicki Minaj on the official remix.

They’re all quite plausible, right?

By the way, I was listening to “Sweat” again today. It’s actually pretty hot. LEMME IN YO’ HEAD!

    It’s a banger, but no one wants ‘black’ Ciara, even Ciara doesn’t want ‘black’ Ciara, just look at that damn weave. She needs to ditch the ‘urban’ community and just stick to international pop. She could have been so much bigger if she just give the people what they want.

  • Steveroni

    HAHAHA. I love you proph!

    Totally forgot about the song. But I’m also listening to it again now. It’s sexyyyyy!!

    Anyway we all saw this coming, "Sweat" is tired and delayed (to use a phrase from Queen Khia) and since nobody was showing it any major love it's been demoted to "Buzz single" and they are too ashamed to admit it… Ciara you need to do something ffs.

  • http://twitter.com/StopItLuke Luke

    hahaha… If i had a makeout mix I’d have “Heavy Rotation” on there.

    Sad truth. Nobody is checkin’ for this chick anymore. Besides, where the fuck is all the promo?! She’s not gonna get a hit single with her name alone. Who does she think she is?? I like this song, but it’s not a hit. Her future looks more and more bleak by the second. I wish her the best, but I think the public have totally counted her out, and she’s needs to make MAJOR NOISE to get back on top.

  • tjoz

    Maybe she did a trade with Sori?

    They gave Sweat to Sori while they get Ciara to record the English version of “You Are Not My Style”. Sori went to record it out in Japan but since getting the ‘demo’ she accidentally left it on the backseat of a taxi out in Japan. Maybe by purpose.

    Would explain why Sori has not had her comeback yet either.

    Ciara does look hot though and wish she would work with Sori.

  • AngryCiciStan

    We all saw this coming. Ciara is the worst when it comes to release and promote music right after Iconiq.
    She could have at least put out that damn video.

  • TLo

    I am afraid it will happen the same with Kelly Rowland’s “Ice”.

    I love this post. Next question, will Cassie ever release another album?

  • Tc23

    Ciaras problem is she never grows to me really .. This song would of BLEW UP the charts in 2005 or 2006 maybe even 2007 but today it sounds so dated its almost like is she serious?? This is what your big comeback was??! .. Ciara has said she wants to make a name for herself like the beyonces, gagas, and rihannas of the world but she’s not even in their league slightly (careerwise not talent wise because she is a talented girl) and releasing these tired ass songs isn’t gna help .. I kno ppl come down on artists for jumping on trends but girl needs to eat .. There’s no way she’s gna be able to keep her head above water in this industry if she keeps flopping like this .. Everyone is allowed one or two flops but if 3 albums back to back flop she’s gna be a vh1 where are they now special in a few years

  • theprophetblog

    She’s actually preparing a mixtape haha. I thought I’d hold off on a post till we get some cover art and a release date

  • ConnorEvans_

    It still amazes me how “Fantasy Ride” flopped! That album was full of the stuff people are buying now, only in 2009 – when it wasn’t so monotonous and tired. She even had a hit with “Love Sex Magic” – she needs to go back to “Fantasy Ride” and 2012-it, before L. A. Reid finds some other bitch to fuck for a record deal!

    LOL

    The truth is that they’re leaving this one to the buzz status and releasing Boy Outta Here (ft. Rick Ross) as the official lead single.

    Anyway, it will remain as a hell of a flawless urban anthem. WAH WAH WAH WATCHU LUHN ♪

  • http://twitter.com/humbertwittz Humbz B.

    And btw I’m mad cuz we aint getting an epic music video. Let me stay pressed while I watch to Gimme Dat one more time…

  • KB

    thats the true truth

    if she’d take a fuckin look at the billboard hot 100 she would have known that she would flop hard. i mean it is what it is. even if the song is a banger! pop is dominating the music market and charts atm….how could LA Reid possibly think that she could make an impact on the charts.

  • Javier

    You are a genious, you always mame me laft

  • tom

    poor child, her voice is meh, her sound is meh, her body is hot, love sex magic is a killer tune, but the rest of that album is crap along with everything else prior and post.

    get pop girl, sell you soul the the devil a be what beyonce would never be ahot black girl for white ears

  • TheFamousOne

    and ‘blauw’.

  • iAmJayDO

    It’s so weird because every night I go to this massive club, they play this song and everyone goes crazy for it. Urban night and pop night, yet no one seems to know what it is or who it is! I love it and everytime it comes on, I def try my hardest to sweat. Blasting in my car and everything. I love this song. So sad it’s not getting it’s props.

  • Deedee

    She publicly begged to be released from her contract with the last label for not properly promoting her or giving her creative freedom. What will be her excuse this time? If you’re not a superstar you don’t have the luxury of having hit songs spoon fed to you, at some point you have to work. I used to really like her music, but I don’t think she has the passion to hustle and I can’t respect that enough to support her.

  • Lana

    Not the That Grape Juice shade ahhhaha I LIVEE

  • http://twitter.com/HyunAKnowles HyunA Knowles

    LMFAOOOOOOOO!!!! That TGJ shade is everything!

    Sweat is just simply a fail. Better try harder next time, CiCi. Or just release Work/Gimme Dat type of songs, there will always be a fan like me who will play it thousand times. LOL.

  • reductivered

    *DEAD* At the ‘That RAPE Juice’ comment. That Sam is just a nappy headed hoe.

  • simonseziam

    Proph just snook up behind cici, snatched her weave and unpacked it in front of her eyes -particularly with this comment. Dude you’ve knocked me dead o_o
