It was previously reported that struggling chanteuse Ciara would release the Usher assisted ‘Turn It Up’ from her poorly recieved new album ‘Basic Instinct’. The track was scheduled to impact radio on March 8th but All Access has now removed it. This has spurned massive online speculation that Jive may have pulled the plug on Ciara’s album, and dropped her in the process. Apparently, she is said to be a drain on label resources because she is still struggling to discover what type of artist she is.
In fact, as Chris Brown “is proving successful on multiple formats”, they see him as a better investment now.Sadly for Ciara, ‘Basic Instinct’ has sold less than 50k to date since it’s release in December.
Being dropped from Jive would be a good thing for her if another label was willing to accept her and give her a chance but I'm not sure if that will be the case so I hope it's not true....

No one thought it could be just a glitch?

The numbers SoundScan gave us last week beg to differ.
while i see no reason why she shouldn't be close to being dropped or in the process of....
if a label was dropping Ciara, they'd probably still send "Turn It Up" to radio anyway, wouldn't they?
I agree that Ciara being dropped from Jive would definitely be the best thing to happen to her career lately. Jive is known to ruin careers, as they are terrible about promo and are infamous for putting certain singers' careers ahead of others. But I really hope that Ciara can find a better label and get her career back on track. It's sad that it may come down to getting dropped from the label. But again, this doesn't mean the end for her career.
I knew it would happen sooner or later with 2 back 2 back flops. Now im late as hell,but im highly disappointed with how Jive handled Fantasy Ride,simple because ive just been getting into tha album over tha past month. She could of had plenty of hits from Fantasy Ride and Turntables should have been tha first single.
If this is true, Ciara wouldn't have a hard time finding another label at all. Even with her recent failures, everyone can see all she needs is the right promotion and she'll be fine.
It's time to hang it up Ciara and become a full time model. Maybe even take some acting lessons and can cross over to acting.
but with her dancing abilities, she's sure to get picked up by another label.
