Love the video. Very simple and visually appealing. The beginning reminded me of the "Me n U" video, the empty danceroom w/ the mirros and all. And then the breakdown reminded me of Love in This Club. I hope the vid helps the song take off!

I love the video. She looks gorgeous in it. She looks good in every scene but her hair in the scene with the white top showed up her manly facial features. I don't know why I expected more...the Go Girl/Promise/Like A Boy videos were hot on first watch and this one is just ehhhh. Maybe it'll grow.

I'm glad this has got going and can't wait to see her recieve her due justice this time around. The thought of this album is amazing. Gaga(hopefully it's true) & Justin as writers :)

What's the last CHR/Pop hit for CiCi? 'Promise'? I say this will go Top 20.

It's a good video. She looked good. But... I suddenly understand why the tranny rumours were floating around. That scene where she was with Jeezy. There's something very... pretty boyish about her- she looks like a pretty boy. And the broad shoulders, flat chest, and muscled legs don't exactly help. She's built a little too similarly to Isis from ANTM I'm not trying to be mean. I like CiCi- I'm just making observations. I hope this is a hit for her. :)

No, America has just gotten so comfortable with being out of shape, that when a woman is in shape and very fit it's considered "Manly".

Seriously- I'm not a CiCi hater. I said she's a pretty girl. I saw he BET special- Sincerely Ciara- so I know she didn't have work done or s**t like that. And she does have a nice fit body.
I just suddenly noticed that she really does have some manly features. So I understood why the tranny rumors stuck around for so long. But really- I'm not mad at her, because unlike all the other singers with boob jobs and bootie pads, she's working with what God gave her, and I can't knock her down for that. :)

She really has never BOMBED at Pop radio, it's just she needs to release the right choices.

"Promise" peaking at #36 is a complete and utter disgrace. Shame on Pop radio.

I don't think most of Ciara's music has really catered to CHR/Pop radio. Her two songs that are really pop are "1, 2 Step" and "Like A Boy". "Goodies" and "Oh" succeeded because pop radio had a love affair with crunk and hip-hop in the middle of the decade. "Promise" was definitely not a pop song, and no one would have said anything about its performance at pop radio if she hadn't had three big pop hits from her debut. There were a bunch of other Polow slow jams that sounded like it that did well at Urban radio, and none of them were pop hits either.
