Poptimists. We need to talk.

You really let me down yesterday.

Ciara’s ‘Goodies’ is a poptimist touchstone, and Miss Ciara Princess Harris a poptimist heroine on a par with Kelis, Britney, Xtina, Aaliyah, Rachel and Kylie. Yet you did not give her the respect she deserved as the first lady of crunk’n’b. To add insult to injury, she appears to have been beaten by both past-it Chemical Brothers and dreadful indie Killers.

I’m disappointed in you.

Explain yourselves please.

The new Ciara is incredible, Kat :(

I've been meaning to post it on Poptimists all week but haven't had a chance.

It's just really dull compared to eg new Beyonce or J-Lo&LLCoolJ. I expect better of her after the 1-2 Step.

It IS '1 2 Step' though! But a fuller, bassier, more substantial version of it. There are some amazing classy descending melodies in it, and the way she hits certain notes is just incredible. "Miss Ciara on your radio, everybody turn it up/Spicy just like hot sauce, careful you might BURN IT UP"

Favourite bit in new Beyoncé = just after the completely amazing buckwild vocals at the end she does this reverse Xtina holler which starts off high and strong and ends up as this bizarre low gurgle.
