If you watched the Grammy’s last Sunday, then you know that Ciara’s makeup look was fierce. Beyond fierce. We were so impressed that we immediately called the singer’s makeup artist Yolanda Frederick to congratulate her–and by the end of the conversation, she’d agreed to stop by the Essence.com office and give beauty editor Tia Williams her very own Ciara-at-the-Grammy’s makeover. The results were downright amazing (there was a lot of thrilled squealing on Tia’s part)–see for yourself in our step-by-step photo gallery breaking down Frederick’s process!
In the weeks before the Grammy’s, Atlanta celebrity makeup artist Yolanda Frederick flew to Paris with Ciara to conceptualize her head-to-toe red carpet look with Givenchy designer, Riccardo Tisci. “He absolutely fell in love with Ciara…she’s his new muse,” said Frederick, who adds that the kerfluffle over Ciara arriving late to the Givenchy couture show was totally manufactured. “Riccardo told her to come late so she could make a proper diva entrance!”

Everyone go download the How Low remix featuring Ciara and Pitbull on iTunes and request it at your local radio stations. C’mon Ciara needs to start off with a bang! Until her first single comes out of course. Jes(Quote) (Reply)

Has the remix been sent to radio all i hear is the one with rick ross and twista. Also, @ 4, the remix was at 140 on iTunes, now its at 114. Every year is ciaras(Quote) (Reply)

Ciara and Pitbull remix should have been the only one released or should have been released 1st. Now what you have is DJ’s comparing the two remixes. So now we have to request for 2nd remix. If luda would have just release the remix with Ci only then this wouldn’t be an issue. I hear he has other remixes coming out. Is there really a need for addl remixs on this one song.

People, please do not get mad at BET, because right now, she is tied with Beyonce, for the artist who has performed at the BET Awards the most times. Each have performed 6 times.
ciara:
Lose Control (with Missy Elliott) -05
Oh (with Ludacris) – 05
Like a Boy/ That’s Right – 07
Stepped on My J’z (with Nelly) – 08
Take You Down (with Chris Brown) – 08
Heal The World – 09
Ciara is the ONLY artist to perform at the BET Awards twice in one night.
2005:
Lose Control
Oh
2008:
Take you Down
Stepped On My J’z Every year is ciaras(Quote) (Reply)

@jes i don’t think ciara is in the song becuase i saw pictures of the making and ciara was no where in them ans the jonas brother are in it becase there popular and have number one single(s)
and yes i’m a ciara fan incase you have doubts ss(Quote) (Reply)

February 10th, 2010 @ 8:02 pm
@ss yeah, u prob right.
I still think they should have made an original song instead of remaking what Michael Jackson wrote. Hopefully this new remake won’t kill the classic that MJ wrote. Jes(Quote) (Reply)

February 10th, 2010 @ 8:06 pm
I still think Ciara should have been a part of the song, but hey there are many artists that I didn’t see in the making of the new version of the song. All well… We just have to wait for the new album. Jes(Quote) (Reply)

Ciara would kill this beat. 1, 2 step even sound good on it.

Billboards Sexiest List Came Out And It Is Dumb As U Know What. They Got Adam Lambert Number 1 for the dudes and Britney Spears Number 1 For The Sexiest Woman. Sorry To Say But Ci’s not on there. I think Kids Mostly voted because that list is ridiculous. No Way Lady Gaga looks better than Ci, Sorry. Dat_Boi_Get_Em(Quote) (Reply)
