In reply to Bye Felicia.

You two going back & forth re JHud & Fantasia's careers is sickening. Both are working at something they love doing & are enjoying their lives. They both have a fan base that supports them but neither has crossed over to mainstream music success which does not mean that they are flops or their music is bad ~ they're seen as r&b artists and as we've discussed on this board ad nauseum, r&b is fallen off in mainstream audience eyes.

On topic - No I don't think they've run their course. I think that record labels don't know how to "grow" or promote artists AND today's audience doesn't support artists like they used to. If Kelly Clarkson was a contestant on AI in 2013, I doubt she'd be as successful because people would steal her music from youtube instead of buying her cd.
