Both highly accomplished and undercelebrated artists who were very successful in the 2000s but kind of declined in the 2010s, but who of the two do you think was/is the bigger act between the two?

Alicia was bigger. Ciara won in the quality department, though. Her 2013 self-titled > any Alicia album, and it's not close

Alicia was bigger for sure

No debate that Alicia Keys is bigger commercially but when it comes to catalogue, Ciara has her beat by far.

I think overall Alicia has the better discography and her earlier work with Diary and Songs on A Minor key aged better. I do agree though that I enjoy Ciara's self-titled more than I do any full album by Alicia.

You know damn well Ciara doesn't have an album as good as Diary

I truly didn't expect the sweep in the polls given the answers in that other Cassie thread

Isn't No One bigger than any Ciara song?

Alicia.

Alicia clears. Duh

Alicia and her multiple GRAMMYs

Love Cici but... It's Alicia.

Ciara her debut era was massive

Alicia is one of the most accomplished 00s female anrtists and R&B/Soul acts. Yes her recent music flopped but she's not undercelebrated at all. She still has 36m+ Spotify monthly listeners

I love Ciara but she's not even close to what Alicia has achieved

Alicia Key peak was bigger and overall career it's Alicia.
