Mstars News reported that Ciara would appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live Summer Concert series. The "Body Party" singer leaked a few behind the scenes photos as she prepped to hit the stage for the pre-recorded event, however the video has been released and CiCi proves why she is one the best dance performers in the world.
Ciara tore down the house with her sexy performance of "Body Party:"
She changed into an all black leather look to perform her latest single "I'm Out" featuring Nicki Minaj.
Ciara dropped the video for "I'm Out" Monday. The video is true Ciara fashion, which highlights all of Ciara's influences. She goes back to her "Goodies" roots, taking yet another page from pop icon Janet Jackson, as Nicki and Ciara sex it up in all white in a Michael and Janet Jackson "Scream" like set. Ciara also pulled out the high fashion, showing off her runway skills in a variety of ensembles, from a snakeskin top and pants, to a "glammed-up" all white cropped top and pleated skirt look.
"I'm Out," comes off as song for the ladies, it features a bass heavy beat, which immediately implies that it is dance track, yet it falls flat; lacking a climax, as the famous "bands and pour it up," beat loop is the sole basis of the track. While Nicki Minaj holds her own on, consistently showcasing her versatility and ability to adapt to almost any beat, somehow Ciara's cross between singing and rapping fails to entertain, as her lyrics are even less appealing.
Nicki Leads the track with "Ayo CiCi, let me show you how to do a singing bitch greasy," and you almost want to think is she referring to Rihanna? As Nicki continues, she also refers to someone trying to play her on social media. Nicki raps, "You want to play me? On Instagram b*tches want to shade me." If you recall Rihanna and Ciara exchanged posts and indirect words on Twitter and Instagram earlier this year.

Just when you think Ciara is going to back Nicki up, she starts her verse, with a robotic style speaking voice, saying, "I just went through a break up..." For the entire song Cici goes from semi singing voice to the "Goodies" Ciara voice that made her breakout hit a success.
When listening to "I'm Out" it is obvious that Ciara is undergoing a transformation as an artist as she is still trying to find herself. In a recent interview on The Wendy Williams Show Ciara broke out in a Roman Zolanski (Nicki Minaj's alter ego) British accent, as she explained to Wendy that "she didn't know where it came from...she has just been trying out new things lately." Trying out new things and getting to know yourself can be a great thing, however we are just not sure if this style of music works for Ciara. Nevertheless with Nicki Minaj on the track it saves it from becoming an epic fail, but will that be enough?
What do you think of Ciara's "I'm Out" featuring Nicki Minaj?
Ciara drops July 9.
