ciara albums fantasy ride and basic instinct didnt do well...but i guess people dont know about music history because many artists have a time period (an album or two) that dont sell...mariah during the whole glitter time period and even Tina turner after she left ike turner she was working as a club singer for years before she came back with the hit "What's love got to do with it" and besides ciara, Rihanna and Beyonce are all young...patti labelle had hits and misses in her career, so did whitney, gladys knight, Janet and etc. point is just because you have a weak period doesnt mean you just give up...man i swear people in this generation give up to easily lol I'm for Ciara, Rihanna and Beyonce...i hope ciara does well because although i love all these ladies riri is all over the radio and so is Bey and sometimes you want something different, like a different sound to listen to thats all
