Lady “CaCa” is so predictable & un-comical, I Wish people would stop with that shit.

I can’t belive the amount of Ciara shade on here, nobody is trying to diss Aaliyah by comparing Ci to her. It was out of the act of a compliment, and obvious similarities. and at the end of the day, don’t ya’ll think Tim knows best for he helped Aaliyah w/ her sound, molded and crafted her? His and Missy’s opinions on this matter should be the FINAL word…and that’s that! Also and finally, lord knows I LOVE Aaliyah, but c’mon she is not God! I’ve been a Aaliyah and Ciara stan since day 1 of their careers, and I don’t like the bandwagon comments. Let’s keep it 100%, although Aaliyah was a great artist she is not the best EVER…she’s not UNTOUCHABLE!! I feel that many are biased bcuz of her sudden death, and worship her as the queen of RnB bcuz she’s dead. We have to be real w/ ourselves, and view Aaliyah the artist as she was here on earth, and not this fallen angel that’s perfect in singing and dancing that’s in everybodies mind. Me personally, I feel Aaliyah is GREAT, but do not put her on this pedestal cuz she’s deceased (when everybody jumped on) RIP Aaliyah…and let Ciara be Ciara for a change

I’m not even going to go on about the Aaliyah Ciara comparison’s the woman is no longer here & it’s disrespectful to speak on her name when she is no longer here.

aaliyah can sing tho she was a mediocre vocalist, ciara is just a dancer, aaliyah has a few r&b classics ciara doesnt except promise i guess, aaliyah is/was a multiplatnum artist ciara isnt so…

timbaland needs to shut up hes a sell out

compared to aaliyahs sales i meant i like ciara but to compare ciara to a 90s artists just makes her look like trash

divatude,
Ciara’s referred to as a “multiplatinum recording artist”. Aaliyah isn’t because she didn’t sell that a lot of records, unfortunately. but i do miss her.

died*

lol

Ciara fans are LYING!

aaliyah sold mroe records than ciara

aaliyah had more hits

ciara cant even get a hit without somebody being on it (missy, justin, etc)

so shut the fuck up

aaliyah sings better than ciara

^^^DEAD @ THIS LATE ASS RESPONSE

YOU WAITED 3 MONTHS TO STATE INCORRECT INFO…CIARA’S FIRST TWO ALBUMS SOLD MORE THAN AALIYAH’S CAREER…NO OFFENSE TO BABY GIRL

@ Tiggy Aaliyah was a gifted young woman, but the reason why “Aaliyah” and “I care 4 U” sold is because she died. The “Aaliyah” cd was not doing too well before she died. I remember when Britney Spears first came out everybody was comparing her to Janet, but not in a negative way and some people compared Aaliyah to Janet also but not in a negative way. So why when people compare Ciara to Aaliyah why do in a negative way. I do not agree with everything Tim said and I do not think that Ciara acts like Aaliyah, but like he said when he see Ciara and listen to her he thinks of Aaliyah and he feels that Ciara is keeping her memory alive. Again Aaliyah did some nice dance moves, but during the time of Aaliyah’s death and even before she died the most popular female entertainer, besides Janet, was Britney Spears who was crowned the Princess of Pop and I take it that Janet doesn’t think any different, isn’t she the Queen? Also everyone was all on the Kanye and Tayor Swift incident, but if people would think they will realize that what he did to her is no different than what everybody is doing to Ciara and also Ashanti when she first came out, even though I don’t understand that because Ashanti was out with Ja Rule’s “Always on time” before Aaliyah even died, and no one started to compare her to aaliyah until her album came out after Aaliyah’s death. Ashanti was also writing songs before she even started making albums she wrote J-Lo’s “I’m Real” and songs for other artists before she even started making her own albums. Ciara also wrote “Goodies” which put her on the charts and she wanted to get a record deal when she was younger before Aaliyah even passed but waited until she was older. So even if Aaliyah would not have passed Ciara would still be here, because she wrote “Goodies” which put her on the charts and she also wrote most of the songs on the CD, how I know because I bought it. Another thing Aaliyah was not even making dance videos when she first started she really did not start showing her dancing skills until she got older. On the videos from her OIAM cd she did a few dance moves, but people did not really notice her cdancing skills until the “Are You That Somebody” video came out, but by that time is when Britney and Mya came on the scene and they were more flashy and fierce with their dancing, they had more of a Jackson style of dancing. I think the reason everyone compares Ciara to Aaliyah is because Ciara and Missy are friends and they make videos together and when people see that they think of Aaliyah. To be honest before he passed I always used to say that I wanted to see Michael J and Ciara dance together because that is whose style she has really. She is really the only female entertainer that can make those moves like him. Janet even said herself when was on 106 and park when Ciara’s “Get Up” was played, that it felt spooky for her to watch Ciara because it felt as though she was watching herself. If people were thinking straight they would realize the reason why they compare Ciara’s dancing to Aaliyah’s and Janet’s is because they know she can dance. Why do people compare Usher to Michael J, because they know he can dance. Why do people compare Usher, Omarion and Chris B., because they know they all can dance. I cannot get on stage or in a video and dance like anyone of these entertainers I mentioned in here, why, because I cannot dance. To be honest Aaliyah made some nice moves but she was not popular because of her dancing Ciara is popuar because of her dancing. Another reason why people talk about Ciara is because she is popular. I am not saying that they are trying to act like Aaliyah because I believe that everyone uses their gifts their way, but Cassie and Nivea style is similar to Aaliyah’s, but people don’t talk about them the way they do Ciara because thet are not as popular. Honor Aaliyah for what she did when she was here. Ciara is here the girl can dance her tell off, compliment her and give her some credit.

What I meant to say was after Lady Gaga met with Rob Fusari and introduced her to electronic/dance, is when she was further influenced by Britney’s “Blackout” album and dove into electronic/dance.

In my opinion, him comparing Ciara to Aaliyah is a REAL STRETCH but they both have that “songbird” voice, and I could see where he’s getting that comparision.

Also, Timbaland… R&B isn’t gone its just evolved and not heavily influenced by the harsher hip-hop sound of the 90s that he’s so used to doing. It’s surprising he says that when he obviously lived through the 80s when the synthizer sound was prevelant in ALL genres of music. Take a look at Jody Watley, Pebbles, and Ready For The World in the mid to late 80s, sure they had electronic/dance beats but at its heart their music was still R&B and it was accepted by the R&B audience.

In fact even hip-hop had heavy electronic influences like Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” in the 80s, before incorporating a harsher sound in the 90s like “Shoop”.

I’m sure many commenters have noticed I make A LOT of references to the 80s with electropop dominating Top 40, but it makes sense since electronic music is popular and in my eyes its almost like history repeating itself. Where 2007-2008 when there were scattered electropop hits, it was like 1981-1982 with few synthpop hits (i.e. “Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes and “Don’t You Want Me” by Human League and “Make A Move On Me” by Olivia Newton-John), but in 2009 there seemed to be a deluge of electropop just like in 1983 with synthpop (i.e. “Flashdance” by Irene Cara, “Maniac” by Michael Sembello, “Billie Jean” & “Beat It” by Michael Jackson, “Little Red Corvette” by Prince, “Puttin’ On The Ritz” by Taco, “Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics, “Hungry Like The Wolf” by Duran Duran, “The Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats, and…MORE)

Do you (The Prophet) agree with me? About how this electropop seems like history repeating itself on how the synthizer is influencing and spreading just like it did back in the 80s with synthpop?

and bitch, aaliyah was a dancer. just because she didnt shake her ass doesnt mean she was good. aaliyah started dancing when she got older because her songs called for it. Aaliyah’s first two albums were all slow songs so she didnt dance much. Her last album had more uptempos so of course she would dance more. Ciara can dance, but she recycles moves and she’s not very innovative. she does the same shit. and britney, she is stiff, and she also recycles choreography.
the only dancer that is worth mentioning is mya, who dances better than aaliyah, ciara, and britney.

just because he is talking bad about gaga, you are all crazy, FUCK U

Oh my fucking god. Get a life all you losers. You’re upsetting yourselves with people who only care about satisfying themselves and they don’t give a crap about whether you LIVE OR DIE.
