New York’s Times Square hosted the memorable New Year’s Eve, the famous celebration that is broadcasted all over the world, which turned out to be not only a magnificent moment but also a great professional success for Ciara, who was one of the live performers at the place. The singer-dancer was so happy that she could hardly contain her happiness and tweeted her feelings, calling it ‘magical’. This was the loudest appreciation and praises from her fans, who awarded to her the credits of being a perpetual talent and an icon.

The Thrill and the buzz created by the audience and the entire New York in Times Square is quite a thing, and if it is Ciara, she is not just performing each time she is on that stage. It was her dream come true. Along with a clip of her performance, the megastar remarked, ‘Dreams really do come true! Nothing can be more magical than performing in Times Square.’ The video captured the main lady performing her signature accurate moves and powerful vocals against the radiant backdrop of the world-renowned intersection – a moment that was complete for a star that has been ruling the pop and R&B world for over 20 years.

Following the performance, there was a barrage of comments, mostly highlighting her classic status. One comment read, ‘Timeless and classy. I have been your fan since my childhood.’ Another user listed her among the ‘all-time, top-tier, best female entertainers, ever’ and also remarked that ‘every song has aged as gracefully, as she has.’ The longevity and quality motif was unmistakable, revealing Ciara’s rare position in the music industry.

However, the online celebration, as it usually happens, also stirred up a discussion that has been going on for a long time and is frankly boring. One comment asserting ‘Beyonce can’t do this’ set the stage for yet another comparison between the two that feels as old as the internet. One of the replyers commented, ‘No because Beyonce can actually Sing. A fake ‘Singer’ who can dance really well doesn’t do it for me.’ Another person tried to settle the argument by saying, ‘Beyonce is the greatest but CeCe wins in dance.’ A never-ending debate that usually accompanies both singers and that simplifies their outstanding but different careers to just an either-or. There is a legendary dancer and performer in Ciara who is not only a master in her field but also doesn’t have to compete with anyone else’s legacy to be recognized for her brilliance.

In the midst of all the noise, there were some who expressed themselves in a more personal and heartwarming manner. A fan, for instance, made a charmingly relatable comment: ‘I remember I was always late for the school bus because I would be dancing with my broom to Promise in the mornings lol.’ Another one stated it beautifully, even philosophically, ‘That’s a full-circle moment right there. Times Square on Rocking Eve is not just a stage; it is a representation.. a proof that patience, faith, and showing up every day really can turn dreams into reality. Well deserved.’

As it is usual online, not all comments were positive. A certain user voiced their discontent and asked about her fashion during the event, saying, ‘Why does a married woman still wear such clothes… pure shame.’ Nonetheless, these criticisms were scarce when compared with the countless people who warmly supported, lauded, and recognized the skills of the artist who possesses full control over her art and is in her prime.

Some critics praised the mere artistry exhibited and one of the onlookers highlighted an exceptionally brilliant move made: ‘the moonwalk was nasty!!!’

Ciara’s gig was the cherry on the cake at the end of the year and a vibrant start to the next one. It artistically depicted her strength as well as her continuous Loyalty to her art. For a singer who has traversed the music industry’s peaks and valleys while raising a family, this global spotlight moment was both well-deserved and symbolic. It was not merely a performance; it was a validation of the saying “stay ready so you don’t have to get ready” on the biggest night of the year, and once more, Ciara proved that she is not only ready but also an icon. Her husband, Russell Wilson, is a constant source of support. In a recent birthday tribute, she declared her 40s are the new 20s in a powerful message. She has also shown her versatility by transforming into a Bond girl for a recent project.
