Ciara had such a strong start wheh she debuted in 2004. It very much akin to the likes of Alicia Keys and Ashanti - two female R&B artists who became crossover successes with their very first albums. Every single she released apart from "And I" charted within the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 including the two additional hits she earned as a feature artist on Missy Elliot's and Bow Wow's songs. I miss when she was on top with this album and the follow up, "The Evolution". She could've really taken the dance diva persona Janet crafted and perfected to international heights for this new generation but sometime after her second aibum, she started to disconnect with her audience.
