It looks like another R&B singer is headed for the unemployment line. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with an insider at J Records who claims that Monica Arnold's career with them is just about over.Monica, who hit the scene in 1995, started off her career like a rocket - with each of her first two albums going triple platinum. But since then, her career seems to have petered out. Her third album struggled to make gold, and her latest album has sold barely 200,000 copies. And MediaTakeOut.com has learned that it's the poor performance of Monica's last album that may have sealed her fate. The insider tells, "For the last album, we gave Monica everything she needed but it still didn't work. She had top producers and top promotion - but she couldn't get any traction. I think it's about time to call it quits with her." Monica's unlikely to be surprised by J Records' decision. Last month, in a last ditch effort to salvage her career, the Atlanta singer implored her fans to sign a petition supporting her latest album. Unfortunately for Monica, the petition garnered fewer than 1,000 signatures.But getting dropped by J Records may prove to be a blessing in disguise for the lovely young Monica. The insider believes that Monica is likely to be successful doing something other than singing. She explains, "Monica is a very intelligent woman, she can do 1000 different things ... I'm sure in a few years we'll all be like - 'wow look at where she is now.'"
UPDATE: J Records contacted MediaTakeOut.com to say that they have no intentions of dropping Monica. We hope they're telling us the truth.

I hope J records is telling the truth. Monica has one of the best voices out here. Unfortunately, I feel she doesn't get the credit or promotion she deserves. I wish she would just release Hell No as a single; I think it maybe her only hope of saving her album at this point.
monica is lame! its time she gives it up.
