"Get Up" Video Review

Well, you can never accuse Ciara of showing off. Her vocals, best described as heavy breathing with occasional undulating tuts, are either about restraint or lack of range. But the girl’s technique is flawless, she never reaches for melisma when it isn’t necessary, and irritant/svengali Jazze Pha has a knack for placing her jagged rhythmic tones on top of jumpy 808 cotton candy.

"Get Up" is no great progression, but it’s refined and the tension in her voice implies a clearly coached delivery, the sort of thing that requires numerous takes-- she’s no one-shot Betty.

Chamillionaire’s sing-songy verse is triple-tracked, making the H-town lizard sound like a lean Darth Vader. Thing is, Cham might be a better singer than Ciara. After his crisp ca$h flow, he moves into a breezy bridge: "You know Chamillionaire stay on the grind/ A hustler like me is hard to find/ I ain’t really impressed, yes/ Unless it’s about some dollar siiiigh-ns." Maybe he should get in the studio with Jam & Lewis.
