Ciara (entertainer) has had a very challenging career since her third album. Her label, LaFace/Jive Records, has failed to promote and support her the way she needs to be successful as an artist nowadays. She has been spending thousands of dollars of her own money just to put out videos and semi-promote her music. By far, her freshman and sophomore albums have been her most successful albums. Her latest album, Basic Instinct, which was released in late 2010 has received an average of 3.6 out of 5 stars which is a step up for her previous album which had received an average of 2.9 out out 5 stars. Her first album, Goodies received an average of 4 out of 5 stars and her second album received an average of 4.3 out of 5 stars. So, the answer I would give you would be that she is failing to promote herself in the proper ways. Her album sales have dropped substantially within the past 3 years. But I'm sure that she will be here for years to come. She has almost been in the industry for 10 years. She is such an outstanding artist, she just needs to attempt to go back to her original genres and stick to that, also she needs to leave her label, which is what she has trying to been doing. But other than that Ciara is a survivor and I love her. For more information on the situation with her and her Label click the link.

The 'official' blues originated in America from African Americans around the time of the late 1920's, (also known as the roaring twenties). The lively upbeat feel of the music contributed and was in symmetry with the feel of the Roaring Twenties.
"Blues started as a derivative of the music of African Americans in the Mississippi Delta and other places in the southern parts of the US, such as New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis and other major cities where African American culture grew."
