its like she trynna capture that 2000's vibe and i get it but she does it in such a campy/corny way it just doesn't TRANSLATE
She looks and sounds good. I just wish they would have chosen a different song. That song is for kids
Not the fckin Hokey Pokey!!!

If you told me she was about to sing a recognizable song and even a song that kids mostly sing, this still would have been at the bottom of my list.

Honestly this is very on-brand for Ciara in 2025.
Get that exposure Ci!

!!!!!
Every time she turns that lip up and makes that corny ass voice it makes me cringe
I think ever since the girls were calling her fake and Hollywood all those years ago, she's been trying to prove that she's NOT.
down home girl! still ATL!
Girl just do you. Suburban Mom self.
Why does this sound better than everything on the "Cici" album so far?? :dead:

No that new snippet she's been teasing sounds great. I think it's called "Low"
This looks and sounds like a Barney scene. WTH :plzstop: :kii: :dead:
She is too old for this, and it is so off-brand for Dove.
Shit is funny asf though. I've just been chuckling.
How is she too old to empower women about their skin?
There's literally an 80 year old woman dancing with her.
Because it's the fucking Hokey Pokey?? :uhh:

tbh i think thats kinda where they're going for
a lot of companies are moving away from predictable, super safe advertisements that ONLY disrupt viewers and ultimately make them yawn
that's why you're probably gonna be seeing more content that is "off-brand" - as you described it. they're realizing it's time to pivot a bit and update their software for current times lol.
the fact that ciara is a grown woman performing a version of a famously childish song was a very intentional concept/kii here IMO.
its something to talk about, to laugh about
it's kinda built for social media engagement and virality
and GODara got her coin either way :caramelapple:
i think we're so used to/grew up seeing these borderline pretentious ads from companies
so someone saying a silly ad is "off brand" for a company to me is simply another way of saying "this is BENEATH THEM".
which makes sense.
and that's exactly what they're tryna get away from. they're tryna go from this: :sup: to this: :caseoftheherp:
we've seen this kinda happen in the music industry with artists being pushed to be more "relatable!" and "fun!" and "personality!" driven . and that whole air of :sup: -ness and mystique going completely out of style - with very few exceptions. much due to social media
the same thing is happening for companies in other industries now IMO its their turn to update their software
It's definitely not giving :caseoftheherp:
It's certainly giving :mmyulost: :bvy: :latisha: :mmywheresddy:
Either way... collect the check Cici
that's what it's aaaall abowt! :letsmessfag:
