It has been a bittersweet two weeks for the Matrix dancing R&B singer Ciara. On one hand Ciara has been blessed to see her fourth studio album, “Basic Instinct” see the day of light but on the other hand, the first week sells were very disappointing selling just 44,000 copies and landing at #44 on the Billboard 200. And to make things worst, a certain somebody at New York’s Power 105.1 is apparently erking the fcuk out of Cici. Check out what Cici had to say after the jump.

Ciara’s new album “Basic Instinct” is now avalailble in stores and online. As a part of her tv promo tour, she stopped by The Wendy Williams Show yesterday and chatted it up with the gossip talk show host about everything but her new album for the most part! There were so many subtle reads in this interview by Wendy. Lets see if  you kids can catch them after the jump. Read the full story

Ok forgive me if I do not jump for joy and relief that R&B singer, Ciara, is finally getting it together but damn! GIRL! Get your management TOGETHER! #TakeNotesFromRihanna… With that said, Ciara annoucned on her Ustream last night that she is, in fact, releasing her SERIAL delayed album ‘Basic Instinct’ on December 14th! We can all say ‘Yaaaay’, right? Well here’s hoping that the “Queen of Dance”, as her fans now call her, can pull it together and dance sing her way back onto the charts and into the hearts of her fans worldwide. She’s still cute though. Get into that pose! Chuckles…

We couldn’t wait until Tuesday. Hands down, here is the best dance video this year!!!! Ciara was dancing for her carerr in this video!!!!

**Update**

After the video was leaked via HipHopConnection.com and then snatched down by Sony, it looks like Ciara’s team decided to go ahead and release the official video via VEVO instead of waiting until Tuesday. Good choice Cici. this video is TOO HOT to wait to be released! Enjoy!

Ciara’s new video “Gimme Dat” will premiere this Tuesday on VEVO and from the looks of the teaser, the video may just give her album promotions the juice it has been yearning for. Lets hope so at least! In a warehouse working and sweating it out to the beats, Ciara and her crew of men are stepping their ass off in this teaser. And yes there is a glimpse of her in the video doing her signature Matrix move.

The teaser definitely gives the audience some anticipation for this Tuesday’s premiere. Check it out and tell us your thoughts.

Sidenote SIdenote Sidenote: Is Ciara giving you Janet tease in this picture above or what?

R&B singer Ciara was special guest at East High School in Memphis, TN yesterday  where the Get Schooled National Challenge & Tour campaign stopped by. During her speech to the teenagers, Ciara stressed the importance of education. Check out her inspiring words below.

After the speech, she did an impromptu performance of Chris Brown’s “Deuces” (the girls version). Of course nothing spectacular with the vocals but definitely thoughtful of her to take time out of her schedule to inspire teenagers!

No words or commentary. Just Watch! I honestly think I prefer Nicki’s stans…

Here is the brand new video to Ciara’s “Speechless”. Not a big fan of the song.  And I want The Dream to take a year break from writing and producing. Wake me up when you are done watching…  Enjoy!

**Sidenote** Is she giving you Janet Jackson in this video?

Now-a-days with entertainment politics and failing careers, an artist like Ciara has to get it in any way she can. And for the MTV VMAs 2010, her way of getting it in was being the video vixen for N.E.R.D. on their hit single “Hot N Fun”. With a short chorus and her signature back bend dance move, Ciara’s performance was as good as a handful of dollars at Magic City.

Check out the performance below.

The ‘Goodies’ dance diva Ciara has been on an online promoting frenzy as of lately with the launch of her “Basic Instinct” webisodes, U-Streaming for her fans, a Basic Instinct Mix-Tape coming soon, and more.
