Ciara delivers TWO performances of 'Melanin' in one night #AMAs2019

The show’s host gave fans a little extra

I wish Ciara would stop making cheerleading chants for songs, but her performance of 'Melanin' at last night's American Music Awards at least had some fun factor to it. Ci performed a song that embraces her beautiful blackness to an audience that was 85% white, and that was the highlight. I still think the song is a hot pile of doo-doo on a stick, but it was nice seeing her bestie LaLa Anthony join her on stage to rap some fierce verses of the tune. Supporting a friend is girl power. And in case you missed it, she delivered a pre-show performance of the song exclusively on Xfinity. So check out both of her performances below, or whichever one suits you.
