BuzzJack Music Forum _ R&B and Hip-Hop _ Round 14: Ciara • Least Favourite Single

Posted by: Davidson Apr 15 2016, 02:41 PM

As 24 hours has past since I first asked the tiebreak between 'Oh!' and 'Overdose' to be broken, they will both be the next two songs to go, with you now having the opportunity to chose which should be placed 7th and which should be placed 8th.

Ciara feat. Ludacris - Oh! (30.34%, 7 votes)

The wonderful 'Oh!' has done reasonably well throughout this rate; despite it having it's haters throughout (looking at you Jack) the song has managed to get through the rounds up until this point. The song was her third massive hit from her debut era 'Goodies', and whilst not being quite as big sales wise as the era's first two singles it was a massive hit all the same, charting at #2 on the US Billboard Charts and #4 here in the UK. It really was Ciara at her prime. I love it so much, the crunk-vibe is one I would love Ciara to return to, even just for nostalgia reasons. Listening to it reminds me of everything I love about early 00's R&B.



Ciara - Overdose (30.34%, 7 votes)

Also leaving the rate this time is the 3rd and final single from Ciara's self-titled fifth album. It in fact outperforms both 'I'm Out' and 'Body Party' and is officially crowned as BuzzJack's favourite single from the 'Ciara' era. It is not hard to understand why, it became quite the fan favourite from the initial release of the album. It certainly embraces Ciara's pop-sensibilities much more than some of her earlier work with some electronic production and a repetitive hook that would not sound out of place on pop radio. Unfortunately the song was never really pushed (the reason why it's lacking a music video) and as a result failed to make any headway chart-wise. I always enjoy it but it coming as high as this has just re-affirmed to me how over-rated it is. Maybe its just my personal preference for my Ciara with a bit more edge.

Overdose - I agree this should have been given a proper push as a single, it was only released because it was fan favourite and therefore no care went into it. I honestly think that this could have been bigger than the album's other singles if this was given a music video and better release.
