It's artists like her that dont need a label. She has a strong fanbase and that is literally all it takes now. And because she has a back catalouge of hits,she'll be fine. Some of the biggest artists (Beyonce for example) are so legendary and so popular that they don't need a label and are only with them beacause they are tied into a seven album deal. Ciara got lucky to leave. But if her and her management were smart, they would know that to make money now, they can start up their own company. I already know this, and im 14.
