Is The American Idol a Fake Platform?

As we all know american idol is not all what its been hyped up to be,which was created to give upsigned recording artist that where never signed before achance to be heard ,showcase and seen in front of millions of americans for their dreams to come true to become future recording stars.Well this is not the case in season number 8 of the false hopes show thats actually just a paycheck for the ads,and the shows producers .Case and point is Joanna Pacitti,Joanna is a former child entertainer--a moderately talented, moderately pretty girl aggressively groomed from an early age to be a big pop star.Who ended up getting dropped from MCA and becoming a waitress, things also didn't work out for Joanna quite as she or her Svengalis (among them Geffen Records honcho and frequent reality-TV figure Ron Fair) had planned. Despite appearances on the movie soundtracks for Legally Blonde, Nancy Drew, and Bratz, and having one of her songs covered by Britney Spears, Joanna's one album for Geffen/A&M, This Crazy Life, was a flop and Joanna (as she used to be singularly named) was dropped from A&M in 2007.I honestly can NOT believe the AmIdol producers are up to their old sneaky tricks in season 8.But as the saying goes you just can't trust the old ways of the media which will never change,and we must really embrace this digital social platform of new media to be showcased and discovered which gives the unsiged new digital artists achance the rightway with no hidden agenders which has nothing to with what Simon says.

Jermaine Dupri Ousted From Position At Def Jam?

Jermaine Dupri is no longer president at Island Records Urban Music, according to reports.The rapper/producer, who has head the position for nearly two years, oversaw all of Island Def Jam's urban music business, and served directly under Chairman Antonio "LA" Reid and President and COO of Island Def Jam Music Group Steve Bartellis. Insider music industry sources revealed that a formal announcement could be made this week. It is as of yet unclear what the source of the change is.These aren't the first reports of Dupri's termination from the storied label. Rumors began circulating this past August that Island Def Jam was displeased with him - citing lackluster album sales for projects he helmed such as Janet Jackson's Discipline.This goes to show once again that experience is the best teacher,there is no way any rapper should have been allow to be a record executive,in any shape form or fashion this is why alot of the major labels are finding them selfs regrouping to possibly be apart of the future which has already proceeded to take over with the new digital recording platforms.

Outkasts Andre 3000 Slapped With $2 Million Lawsuit !

Outkasts Andre 3000 Slapped With $2 Million Lawsuit Over "Class Of 3000"




OutKast's Andre 3000, along with Cartoon Network and Turner Broadcasting, is facing a $2 million lawsuit for copyright infringement and breach of contract claims stemming from Andre's Class of 3000 cartoon series.
According to the Boston Herald, local postal worker Timothy McGee alleges the "characters, artwork, storylines [and] concepts" from Dre's Emmy-winning Cartoon Network series were all based on his ideas for an earlier project called The Music Factory.

"The artist known as Andre '3000' Benjamin was credited with the creation, executive production and starring role in 'Class of 3000,'" the lawsuit reads. "The similarities between the expression of Mr. McGee's work in The Music Factory and that of Class of 3000 are sufficiently detailed and pervasive."

While Dre's cartoon debuted November 2006, McGee claims he offered his series pitch to Cartoon Network executive Michael Lazzo in 1997 before being rejected. With both projects set in Atlanta's music scene and sharing similar characters including a "tough full-of-attitude female" character, his attorney Jerrold Neeff expects compensation.

"We've r equested $2 million in damages thus far," Neeff told the Boston Herald. "The rest remains to be seen."

In addition, McGee has claimed misappropriation of trade secrets and is requesting damages to including all the profits from the show's two seasons. Cartoon Network and Turner Broadcasting have also been included in the lawsuit. A rep for Dre and Cartoon Network/Turner Broadcasting was unavailable for comment at press time.

Song Investmenting A New Fan Incentive!

As the web becomes more of the platform for breaking new music and hot new recording artists and bands.SongVest is now expanding its song investment model by partnering with ReverbNation. SongVest allows outsiders to invest in songs from major artists, and (hopefully) realize a resulting royalty stream. The offering includes songs from Garth Brooks, Aerosmith, and Cher, though the ReverbNation marketing partnership brings the concept to lesser-known acts and content.

ReverbNation draws participation from roughly 250,000 artists, most of whom are emerging or unknown. A portion of that group is also mid-level, and searching for ways to better promote their content across digital channels. That includes GB Leighton, a country-style songwriter with albums sales north of 70,000. GB, a ReverbNation artist, has already received $4,600 from the appropriately-titled, "Love for Sale," part of an initial pilot.

If GB is getting off the ground, others are truly on the ground floor. "Imagine buying in on tracks from the next Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance before they hit the big time," said David Prohaska, cofounder and CMO of SongVest.
