If I Weren't A Flop

Remember 2004?

Usher was the shit.
Lil Jon was the hottest producer in the game.
And the hottest new chick on the scene was the one and only Ciara.

She was a force to be reckoned with. "Goodies", "1,2 step" and "Oh" were instant chart toppers.

Fast Forward to 2008

Usher is a joke. "Here I Stand" was a major disappointment and flop.
Lil Jon well we have T-Pain now.
And Ciara well, things aren't too bright for her.

"Fantasy Ride".....well the concept was nice, the "Go Girl" video was cute, but what happened?
Was she overshadowed by Beyonce, was "Go Girl" just not that hot...what happened to her career?

How in just 4 years did these artists fall so fast???
