Why was Ciara not able to reach Beyoncé and Rihanna's level of success? Should Ciara be on the same level as Beyonce and Rihanna?

[Oliverlogan263]

When she released her first album goodies, she was at par with other contemporary black female artists but what was the reason she wasn't able to reach Beyoncé and Rihanna's level?

Agree

Disagree

I’m just gonna copy and paste my response to Dizzydesii :

I actually just watched a video about Ciara. They were talking about how with her third album, there was a messy roll out. The album kept getting delayed and they couldn’t figure out what singles to release.

this was around the time where record labels were going through budget cuts so her label wasn’t promoting her as much as they should.

Plus around 2009 is when dance pop music took off and krunk, which is what Ciara was known for, started to die. She tried to make that transition into dance pop but it just didn’t work for her. Thats when Bey, Rih, Britney, and Gaga started popping off with their dance music. So she just got overshadowed by the change of times.

Ciara definitely had the talent to be as iconic as them but the issue was she didn’t have the right music or the support of her label.
Taylor swift is the biggest pop star on the planet right now and I wouldn’t say she’s a great singer. And she definitely can’t dance. But she can write her ass off. She knows how to make a hit song. Even if you hate her, you can’t help but sing along to her ear worms.

So Ciara’s talent is not the issue. She just couldn’t figure out the formula to create bops anymore.

She had a hit song relatively recently with “Level Up” but even that song is known as a TikTok hit. It definitely doesn’t compare to her past hits or any of Beyonces or Rihanna’s

Ciara should make a Country album.(She's the wife of Russell "Let's Ride" Wlison.)

[Dargil]

I don't know anything about her talent, but she takes after Naomi Campbell, which is a plus.

And she has a fetching, moderate sized rack.

[Dargil]

I think she surpasses either on looks. Right there with Donna Summer.

[DizzyDesii]

Ciara is a great dancer but not a great singer. Rihanna is a great singer but a mediocre dance. Beyonce is not the greatest vocalist but she's great at singing while dancing and maintaining stage presence. Rihanna is basically a backup singer to Beyonce. Ciara is basically a backup dancer to Beyonce. Rihanna sings better than Beyonce. Ciara dances better than Beyonce. But they lack the stage presence of Beyonce. @JustinTheGreat what do you think?

[DizzyDesii]

Plus there was always a rumor that ciara was a hermaphrodite so that messed stuff up for her too. She had to have a kid with future for teens to say otherwise

And imma have to disagree with Rihanna being able to out sing beyonce 😭 Rihanna is a singer while beyonce is a vocalist

[DizzyDesii]

@JustinTheGreat ATL krunk will never dieeee 😭 Yea taylor has catchy songs but i want something not to sad/breakupy/vengeful for once. Taylors audience is a bit different from the others so they dont care too much about if she can dance. People talked forever about Beyonce almost falling during her halftime performance. They wouldn't care if taylor did since she's not known for tryna dance. Ciara should just go be a choreographer cause singing ain't for her.

[DizzyDesii]

Rihanna is a better singer BUT beyonce is better at performing live. Rihanna sounds horrible singing live

[Drewtate]

Rhianna is a terrible singer. So is Beyonce. Beyonce was the worst one in destiny's child, Michelle and Kelly could actually sing.
Taylor swift is the queen currently, probably the biggest selling star in history and she just won the Superbowl.

[DizzyDesii]

@Drewtate lmao delulu. Taylor has songs but she is not the best singer. Beyonce is a better singer than Taylor but she is not the best singer. I can't stand Rihanna but she sings better than both

[Nikki1989]

Who would want to be known as a disposable, mainstream product? Some people have higher than musical standards. These are NOT artists, they are just products.

[FlutteringFeelings]

I was always curious about that but it seems that Ciara just has her own individuality like the Tom-boy hip hop. For Beyoncé and Rihanna it was more so the image they created for their albums of the good girl gone bad.

[NathanDavis]

the industry promotes you

or it doesn't

[Drewtate]

She didn't have Jay Z.

[AngryCarl]

The industry never pushed her like Beyonce or Rihanna. When would you ever hear her songs on the radio? I never did.

That's all I know. I was never into her music either.

[DizzyDesii]

Ciara was on the radio all 2006-2010. After that she fell off. Rihanna was riding jayz when beyonce wasn't, so of course rihanna got promoted more

[Oliverlogan263]

@DizzyDesii Nah, I would say the last big hit I could remember Ciara made even still rockin to this day would be Body Party when that came out in 2013 and I remember when it came out and was on the radio throughout that time it was played all over.

[DizzyDesii]

I remember that too but im sayin it was a big gap. She was on the radio back to back those other years

[FunkyMonkee]

Maybe she's not as good as them. Maybe her tits aren't big enough. Maybe she doesn't flash them enough.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

One is better in whatever they do?

[noohair]

It is what it is.

[laly520]

her music is reason
