Addressing comparisons between her hit "Like A Boy" and Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy" Ciara says "I totally respect her (Beyonce')."
"The actual song is real. As women we go through it. Both her and I have ran into each other at different times and every time there's love and respect and I just choose to keep it that way" the "Go Girl" star told Hot 97's Angie Martinez recently.
Stating she's heard different things from a lot of people regarding Beyonce's selection of "If I Were A Boy," Ciara says "I choose not to get into the craziness of it. It's definitely a different record and the same concept. I respect her and I think she's an amazing performer."
In related news, Ciara has confirmed the delay of her album "Fantasy Ride."
Now slated for release in early 2009, the star has reportedly taken more time to squeeze in recording sessions with Jim Jonsin (Beyonce, Christina Milian), Bloodshy & Avant (Jordin Sparks) and Scott Storch (Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera).

Ciara can dance her ass off, bey can sing her ass off. Ciara can not sing, bey can not dance.......the songs have the same concept but Ciara is better in my opinion. I am the biggest fan of bey and i like ciara, but when it comes to the song Ciara wins......Bey is a queen..Ciara is a mediocre princess.....everybody just shut the f*** up
I like Beyonce, but I looooooove Ciara. I'm sorry to those who are in love with B, but Ciara is killin
Why is everybody hating on one n the other? its not about whose better - ciara didnt agree that beyonce copied her - ciara admitted to havin much love and respect for queen bee - quit hatIn - IT IS possible to love both of em* Ciara's comin hard, so if thas the reason ppl talkN *ish then im LUVIN it
Funny, Ciara has some nerve saying someone stole her song. She stole the whole "Go Girl" concept from Jimmie Reign- a singer from Oakalnd Calfornia. www.myspace.com/jimmiereign1
Beyone is doin' her thang- she's bigger than Ciara, no need to steal from her.
i think that they both have their strengths and weaknesses.... Ciara is a way better dancer.... but Beyonce is a better singer, but it depends on if u really like vocal singin, because i think that Ciara's songs are better, she's more real and doesnt try to act TOO classy, she represents where she's from...
The only thing I see similar about these songs is the fact that both songs play with gender roles. Ciara is an amazing dancer, but I it stop's there. As a fan of good singing, I must say I haven't heard Ciara sing one time and have "wow!" reaction. However, I've coem to expect nothing but the best from Beyonce. Beyonce's song (If I were a Boy) is more deep. I love Ciara's video (Like a Boy), but her songs quite often have no vocal depth (monotone /"you can look at me and think that I'm.. dah dah dah dah...). With Beyonce you get great singing and dancing. Beyonce is a far better performer. Performing on stage to me is about singing and dancing at the same time. Ciara could work on this a bit. Beyonce is the Queen. No body from our generation (I'm the same age as Bey) has even come close to her level of performance.
THAT'S GO TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH CLASS CIARA GOT, AND EVERYBODY CAN SEE THAT BEYONCE VERSION OF LIKE BOY DON'T HAVE NOTHING ON CIARA'S, SHE GOT MAD TALENT, NEVER SEEN VIDEO'S LIKE HERS, SHE REALLY BRING IT, CHECK CIARA OUT ON 106.PARK AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH THE GO GIRL VIDEO!

Yeah Beyonce did use her ideal. She even used the way Ciara dressed in her video in her video Upgrade U. But it is a good look that Ciara wasn't petty about it, real people will always know the deal.

Beyonce did steal her concept and the song (hey BC Jean) but Ciara was diplomatic enough not to say it.
