Music video: Ciara featuring Missy Elliott - Work


As much I enjoyed this video, I felt it could've been a bit better. Just a teeny bit. The concept behind the video was hot and it looked great. But I wanted more in the way of choreography.

The moves Ciara puts down are HOT! Can't no chick in the game touch her with the dancing. The poppin' on second run of the chorus was just so fly it's stupid. The backwards two step in the heels was way hotter than it should've been, as was the frantic ponytail swinging. ("I bet'cha can't do it like me!!" Yes. CiCi is shooting that at YOU B. I know the Beyondroid is MAD at Ciara for that, and will probably devote 2 minutes of the "Sweet dreams" video to thrashing a weave so violently she'll develop whiplash just to top Ciara's). But I think a song like this needed to have more choreography behind it that was memorable to the point where people are mimicking it in the clubs. I really did want more than just poppin', two stepping, pony tail swinging and a shoulder shuffle from Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

Not enough was done for the end of the song neither. I LOVE how Danja and Ms. Lago just f**k with the beat and stop, start and rewind it. The dancing and editing should've been played with to match it, but instead we just get Ciara kicking sand in a dress and snappin' fangaz whilst Missy shakes her fat arse on some tyres.

Ciara looked great, which has been the one constant and consistent thing throughout Ciara's video's since "Promise". She's really grown into her physical sexuality. And manages to stay looking sexy whether she's thuggin' it out in ripped jeans and padded Chuck Taylor's, or vampin' it up in minuscule bikini's heels and dresses. She's rising up the ranks QUICKLY to being one of the sexiest chicks in the game. (Again...the Beyondroid is mad angry!)

It's been approximately a year since "Work" leaked, but the song is still fire. And this video should hopefully add fuel to it, because I do think it's hot. I guess I just wanted a little more because I just love the song so much.
