I do too, it could be a happy version of Work or even That's Right 2.0 
But let's face it, a lot of the Jackie budget went into DLWML so THIF will look like a World Star Hip Hop exclusive 
Welp, at least we got an urban hit and a flawless video

you know what, yes CiCi is criminally underrated but sometimes she just doesn't seem like she really wants it enough, instead of come and get it, she waits for her people to do something
like this Roberto Cavalli deal, she got it after 6 freaking years, she also know Riccardo for 6 years and yet he hasn't done anything for her beside being his muse so she can go to these A-list fashion parties, he hired Alicia Keys as face of Givenchy perfume, even tho she totally doesn't fit the brand, when Ciara does, I don't get it
you have Teyana Taylor getting Adidas deal and becoming judge on 'America's Best Dance Crew', two PERFECT jobs for Ciara, why Teyana is able to get them, and CiCi is not?
and then what did she do to promote DLWML? she went on vacations with Russell, thank God they don't have sex because otherwise....
as for music, her career is all over the place, her songs are not bad (in fact most of them are amazing and smash worthy) , she just don't know how to market herself and she needs someone who will slap her in her beautiful face and tell her what's wrong, someone go will guide her and stop her from putting these dated songs on her albums

None of the R&B girls are getting support right now. |
Wow, I think you're right.

exactly! so many wasted opportunities 
she needs a better label and a better team - eventhough her current management team is doing a decent job at least

Those radio updates her killing me.... Hopefully they'll pick up when the billboard updates roll out. Based off streaming and the weak airplay, I'm thinking it will debut in the 80s-70s on the hot 100.

This is so true. And she always says she wants some sort of business but with the money she's made she could've been made that happen..... I will say she is doing more than she has in the past.... It still isn't S much as she could, sadly, but it's something. She does just enough, never really challenge herself or her music.

Same thing I was thinking...She doesn't seem to want it bad enough. I remember watching the Lindsay documentary and she fought for the Marilyn movie and another movie because her team didn't. She actually called to get meetings etc..
Ciara should've performed her new single at the BET awards...But she waited for BET to call her and ask her if she would like to perform a Janet tribute...

They always do then want to blame Epic. I bet no one in here has even tried to request the song. I've been requesting more than the people who consider themselves CSquad 
Stans can help songs smash, but the CSquad is definitely very lazy and just come to drag Ci and Epic but forget they play a role in this too.

She needs to take some tips from Onika tbh. This situation reminds me of the Roman Reloaded era where she thought she was established enough on urban to give them up for a little while and go pop, but they turned their backs on her (I Am Your Leader, The Boys, Champion flopping).
She needs to spend the entire second half of 2015 and Q1 of 2016 collaborating with urban artists, uploading stuff on Soundcloud, remixing big urban hits etc.
Then, she can come back at Q2 with a hot urban single with a feature.
Then, she can release a crossover hit and C7 along with it.

Yes but Nickis ALBUM sales have always been good. Ciaras are not.

What you guys don't realize is that CSquad has been through this multiple times now lmao. We're used to this.
I requested Sweat/Sorry/Got Me Good like crazy. With Body Party I requested the song but not nearly as much as the others. Requesting helps but only in the big markets that have influence like NYC and LA. NYC NEVER played I Bet so why would they start playing this? People requested I Bet and it was ignored. DJs play what they want to play and what they're told to play (we all know this). If we ALL request at the same time and spam their mentions on Twitter, then maybe they'll notice us and it would be effective. But I've noticed that using those forms don't really help.

Not to mention that it's harder to keep fans motivated and determined when the artist herself isn't even talking about the song

It makes no sense to me that people think K&T would be a good single.
Isn't the point of a single to be like "oh! This is _____? Nice" (?) because no one would know K&T is Ciara, it's too basic. DLWML, I Bet and That's How I'm Feelin all have the Ciara vibe.
