In the world of commercial hip-hop and R&B, the artists who sell the most records are typically those who find a successful formula for their music and stick to it. In March of ’05, Ciara saw her Ludacris-assisted single, Oh, rise to platinum certification. Three and a half years later, it should come as no surprise to her fans that High Price, the potential lead single off her third album, Fantasy Ride, sounds suspiciously like it. Ludacris once again shows up for a brief guest verse, while producer Tricky Stewart (best known for his work on Rihanna’s Umbrella) lays down a Crunk&B beat remarkably similar to Oh’s. To Ciara’s credit, her delivery takes on a unique, opera-like approach that will likely piss off her hardcore fans. Consider it a lesson learned, Ciara: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
BEAT IZ VERY SIMILAR TO OH,I CUDNT WONDER WETHER TO LAUGH OR THINK WAS SHE SERIOUS WIT THE OPERA STYLE SINING HAHA LUDA BRINGS THAT EXTRA PUNCH HE MIXING HIS VOICE UP ON THIS IF U LISTEN TO HELP GIVE THE SONG SUM CREDIBILITY ..
the opera singing is a NO. but it does prove she can sing though i didnt she had a voice to hit that note. luda's delivery give and verse makes this a 3 star.
This sounds like something I would hear in a ghetto haunted house on Halloween. Hmm-I am completely torn on this one. Just the way Ciara is singing on here is really creepy. I will probably skip to the 2:30 mark in the song
every time I play this just to hear what I think is LUDAS HOTTEST VERSE HE HAS EVER DROPPED. Im so confused on what to rate this, Ciara gets a 1 but Luda gets a 5. I guess if Math class taught me anything, that equals a 3.
the singing killed it. she should've just sang in her regular voice...it would've been so much better. i'm not feelin' some of the lyrics either. she can do better. ludacris is good as usual.
I admire the creativity, but it really just makes me want to go listen to Oh again. And this is a good Luda verse, but definitely not his best ever. Are we forgetting his sick flow on I'm So Hood already?
Bad vocals...first listened to it late last week and it's grown on me already...but this track is going to be a hit (I Bet my whole chips on it)...nice vid and everybody will be on it!!
I like the beat, reminds me of Oh...I'm feeling Ludacris' part, but I don't like Ciara's vocals! She sounds too weird. It's an OK song, I don't think I'll listen to it again! Expected better from her
man, the beat is sick.
and i personally like the 'opera' singin'... it's SO different... ya'll just used to beyonce screaming on the tracks, that's it. the lyrics is what's bad. this is a slow, banger, mos def! 3.5 stars!
=)
oh yeah, & luda... str8 killa! he murdered his verse.
peace!
... oh yeah, the 'opera' singing will be HORRENDOUS when she goes to perform it live... oh no, she cannot sing, she cannot sing live, and with this double whammy, DI-SAS-TER! be prepared.
=)
peace, again!
This is some really weird stuff, but it's mad original, so I'm torn on it as well. LOL. Freaky. I kinda like it, but at the same time it's really weird. LOL. I don't even know what to say. Luda utterly smashed this track just as hot as "OH"! He gave us like 24 bars! BEASTIN. That's it! I've decided. This gets 4 stars. I hope they come up with something extremely clever for the video!
THIS SONG IS MAKIN ME LAUGH,CUS THE WAY CIARA SINGING,BUT DIS THE JAM AND LUDACRIS MY HOMIE LIKE CIARA SO I LOVE IT!!
I LOVE THIS CIARA JOINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEACE!!!!!!!!
this song is ok!!!! the dream wrote it so i guess their is no comments bout dat? onthe other hand, she shoulda never use da voice tone in da first place!!!
