I love this video!


A few questions/observations:

*What ever happened to Petey Pablo??

*Who knew Monica and Ciara were such good friends? I’ve seen Monica in quite a few Ciara videos.

*Wasn’t Ciara bold for wearing such a hot bathing suit/unitard for her first video? Props!

*Can’t Ciara dance her butt off? She better work!

*I am officially giving the Fashion Bomb Seal of Approval to any Lil Jon & Ciara collabo (That’s Right is one of my favorite work out songs!)

Enjoy!

*If you have any video requests, leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter!
