@Caleb the record industry is about money. Artists like Ciara make record labels lose money. She has been dropped numerous times by different labels (Epic, Warner Bros, etc). Just because an artist is dropped quietly does not mean they were not dropped. The only label that stood by her for a long time was Jive but they enjoyed the monetary success of her first two albums' profits. The problem with Ciara is that she is an older artist now and she does the kind of music she likes but is not interested in doing the music her target audience likes. That translates into flop after flop. She should study Bey. Bey listens to what her audience likes and makes music that will sell / cater to them.
