Yeah, Madonna is a smart business woman, there would be no way she would sign a probable one hit wonder, which most American Idols end up being. | |

He's a local boy so I'm happy for him.
Larry, Curly and Mo (The American Idol judges) knew he wouldn't fit into that dumb shows style-a-week format but selected him anyway. Of course he winds up being terrible but unfortunately I'm not one to judge considering I stopped watching the show in the early rounds. But I'm happy for him. Sometimes good things happening to good people is enough to get baehind. In the case of American Idol, I'm waiting for next years release from merican Idols most talented performer, TRENYCE! | |

Why did Madonna sell her shares of Maverick? Is she still signed to Warners or is she trying to get an independant label started like Prince? | |

Just resigned to Sire... but apprently WBR felt Maverick was losing money and they wanted the label gone... to the point they were suing Madonna and her partners. Ended up settling. I believe Madders has two albums left with WBR. Word on the web is she is looking at starting another label with Sony You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

Madonna is actually good at running a label, i mean she sprung off Michelle Branch, Deftones and Alanis Morisette. | |

From what I have read there is feud between the Current Owner of WBR and Madonna. He doesn't want to spend the money that Madonna is used to having spent on her. He didn't want to pay for the Photo Shoot for American Life or any of the press junkets for the album promotion. Than after she pulled the Video for fear of being Dixie Chicked he pull support for the album and let it flander. Than he claims Maverick lost money.... like other labels didn't over the past 5 years. So Madonna fought him on that and won. She'll do better elsewhere. She's too smart to let this stand in her way You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

not exactly true. most of that took place under the previous owners (AOL Time Warner). she sued them because the stock options that were part of her contract were worthless after AOL took over and basically tanked the whole company. they sued her saying that Maverick was losing money, she said it wasn't. the feuding was with the previous establishment, and it wasn't until after the label was sold that headway on clearing this stuff up was made. they bought out her part of the company. Guy Oseary stayed. it's interesting that they claim Maverick was losing money, but then proceded to buy out her share. "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

The best thing Madonna has ever done in her whole career is sign up "Meshell"
that's the only thing that stops me from completely disliking her [Edited 9/19/04 22:18pm] | |
