"Ciara" album preorder available here: www.smarturl.it/ciara Music video by Ciara feat. Nicki Minaj performing I'm Out. (C) 2013 Epic Records, a division of ..

This cut has grown on me ( a video always helps a song).   Nicki's verse is hot.  This cut might get traction because of the BET performance and it grows on you.  Here's the stats

THE TRACK- 3($$$) Its cool, it rides

THE PERFORMANCE- 4($$$$) Nicki really brought it on this cut.  Ciara does her thing

MUSCLE- 2($$) The BET perfomance will put this cut om front street (that's only a three week window lately)

JUICE- 2($$) We'll have to see what radio gonna do

TIMING- 3($$$) The BET performance was game changing.  So let's see what the impact will be

THE SONG- 3($$$) I like this song but radio will hold its destiny

TOTAL- 17pts out of 30 (C grade)

This song will do well with teen Females (12-17) and young female (18-24).  The trick is will they buy.  The issue here is that this song sounds so much like a Beyonce song.  Ciara need to create her own sound.  She allowing producers to control her destiny.  It's about the artist not the producers.  That why our urban sales are so off, it's because everything sounds the same because the producers all sound alike.  Ciara can have her own sound for her own fans. #IJS

Ciara can rise above the pack.  Until then this song will have to do.

I love Ciara but I love Ciara the dance artist.  Not this artist that's struggling to try to stay on radio.  What's funny about "Body Party" is that it's "My Boo" redone but just slower (Ghosttown DJ's).  This is what seperates Rihanna from Ciara.  Rihanna goes out and find the best songs and adds her magic, whereas Ciara seems to just go in the studio of one of her friends and find the cheapest beat like she putting out a mixtape.  Ciara should be as big as Rihanna but until she and her camp decide to invest in big songs by big writers she'll always get these results.  "Body Party" seems to be climbing the BDS charts, because this is a cool midday song and the label is begging radio for the slot.  But is this song selling and to who?  Ciara be brave, team up with Janelle Monet or try to get some of Rihanna's writers on your team.  Develope a world appeal in your music that matches your look.  You should be doing pop dance hits that appeal to a world market, not just Decatur Ga.  You do know that you and Future have two totally differant markets that you sell to.  His market is nowhere as worldwide as yours.

Here's the review stats;

The Track- 3($$$), The Performance- 3($$$), Muscle- 3($$$), Juice- 4($$$$), Timing- 2($$),  The song- 2($$),

total: 17 pts out of 30 grade C

The track is normal and her performance was cool, nothing blazing.  The streets will like this cut but they wont carry it and for some reason there seems to be an invisable hand helping this in radio (there are better song out there).  The timing is cool because its slow but it's summer (spring break) and this song doesn't really inspire cook outs or days at the beach (IJS).

Demo stats:

Teen Females- 3($$$), Teen males- 1($), Young Females- 4($$$$), Young males- 2($$)

 Total: 10pts out of 20 grade C

Teen females will be cool with this but not crazy about it.  Teen male won't know it existed.  young females will groove to it and young male will be so so with this song.  But will anyone buy and why?

Market Stats:

Streets- 2($$), clubs- 2($$), mixtapes- 1($), radio- 4($$$$), retail- 2($$)

Total: 11 pts out of 25 grade C-.

The only thing saving this song is radio...
