Ciara has ALWAYS (it would seem) had YES men around her
She's passionate about her craft but also stubborn
I think she only really let someone take the lead during Goodies, Basic Instinct, and Ciara
The other eras, I think she was like AM AN ARTIST. LET ME DO WHAT I WANT
But we're not always right about the decisions we make
nah, she was always very instrumental from the jump. She FOUGHT for Goodies the single to be released and so forth for the following singles.
It was on Fantasy Ride where she took a backseat and allowed other writers to take the reigns of her musical direction. Then Jive forced her to release Go Girl and you know the rest...
Besides, let's not act like her success has nothing to do with the politics of the industry. She underperformed with even grade-A material (the Ciara album). Y'all can't just say it's her fault cause it ain't
