They are nothing alike! I&#039;m sorry but Ciara is nothing but a knock off of Janet with worse vocals. I like a couple of the tracks on Fantasy Ride but there is nothing on the album to make me buy it - we&#039;ve heard it all before from hundreds of &#039;singer&#039;s&#039; who have come before and will come after her!!! If she makes over 100k first week I&#039;d be astounded.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How are you going to compare this two women?!?!? They are nothing alike!

I had recently bought both albums(fantasy ride &amp; the deluxe edition) oh and Chrisite&#039;s as well. So if u wanna cry &amp; make ur mother cry cuz u like to see her cry, then buy Chrisite&#039;s, but if u truly want great entertainment in music buy Ciaras Fantasy Ride. It jus shows (from the promo) that she actually cares 4 her album (i.e. Ciara), we don&#039;t need an EMO version of Rhianna, lord knows she&#039;s already turnin into one. BUY CIARAS FANTASY RIDE!!!!!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m rooting 4 Ciara cuz her album is amazing, its a much more mature side we hav seen of her as of late, she deserves it, she don&#8217;t needa cheat.

The album has been getting a lot promo and &quot;Love Sex Magic&quot; was a top ten hit. Before i read this report, i would have guessed that Ciara would sell somewhere between 250 and 300,000 in the first week.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, i would be shocked if Ciara only sold between 70 and 80k in the first week.
