RE: Next album will be blusier
I don't think Dina started a management company. She was working with a management company representing Steven Tyler and when he wanted to get out of the deal she helped him and they sued her.
A NYT article from three years ago detailed some of the details of Allison Iraheta's 2009 contract because California law requires "court approval of entertainment-industry deals with minors."
At that time it was at least a 3-year management commitment.
Quote:The winner and those finalists fortunate enough to secure a management contract with 19 Entertainment, a producer of “American Idol,” and a record deal, are likely to earn far more than they would if they were independent artists who found their own way to a recording deal.
“I’m shocked that they give them that much money,” said a longtime agent for recording artists who works at a major talent agency here.
...A respectable recording contract for a new artist today would include an advance of $100,000 to $150,000, the agent said, although she noted that the “Idol” contract potentially binds the artist to the show’s producers for up to seven years, roughly twice as long as a typical first contract.
Executives at 19 Entertainment declined to comment on the contracts. In a statement the company said: “Our business is built through strong, respectful relationships with our talent, so it is important that they are fairly represented in contractual agreements with 19 Entertainment. With ‘American Idol,’ we have deliberately structured these agreements to ensure that artists can cross the threshold of success, and that they have all the support necessary to achieve their dreams.”
...(Kris Allen's)...earnings do not come without strings, of course, strings that bind “Idol” contestants to 19 Entertainment for years. The company can sign a management contract with any contestant it chooses, binding the contestant to pay 15 percent of his earnings, not including those from recording and merchandising contracts, to 19 Entertainment-related companies as a manager’s fee. The initial contract extends for three years, although 19 continues to collect a percentage of some of the contestant’s earnings for 10 years.
The winner is not the only contestant who earns after the show. Last year the runner-up — Adam Lambert, whose first-week album sales were more than double those of Mr. Allen — earned $300,000 in advance royalties for his album, a $75,000 merchandising contract and $50,000 in fees from Disney World for the Idol Experience attraction.
The remaining Top 5 finalists each received $50,000 from Disney for their participation, while the rest of the Top 12 finalists could have earned $200,000 each for a first album and $50,000 from merchandising if 19 Entertainment had exercised its option to sign them to a contract.
Contestants do not have to make it to the Top 5 to begin making money. Once they reach the Top 12, “American Idol” singers each week record a version of their song for sale on iTunes. Once they begin recording, they receive a one-time payment of $1,000 and a $1,000 advance on royalties for each recording.
When they make it to the Top 12, contestants also usually perform in a group number during each week’s results show. Because that performance is not part of the competition, the contestants earn performance fees under the union contract that broadcasters have with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, known as Aftra.
That contract pays the artists from $1,011 for a one-hour show to $1,540 for a two-hour episode, meaning that a Top 5 contestant is likely to earn close to $10,000 in performance fees over the season: not a fortune, but with 20 million people viewing each week, it is a start.

Here's a new interview. I don't know if you've seen it yet.
Thanks for posting that Mr. Steel. These Singapore interviews have had a lot of good information about her plans for the immediate future. She's giving us more solid information and I think that's a good sign that things are falling into place. Haley generally doesn't say much unless things are already happening.

Quote:haleyreinhart
A year ago today my single "Free" was released! And I was just back at the Idol studio today sharing my new material with my A team! Getting ready for the Next Chapter.  I'm so thankful, every step of the way!
Who's Haley's "A Team"? Did she just want their feedback? Were they pitching the idea of her performing a song off the EP?
My guess is both, Miguel. I don't know how quickly things are going to come together w/ the EP, but if she's fairly well along in the process, it wouldn't come as a total shock, to me, if we saw her performing a new single on the show sometime this season. I'm not expecting it, but it wouldn't come as a total surprise.
Haley's ties at Idol seems as strong as ever & I'll bet a big reason her songs were played during the auditions, as much is they were, is because of the promotion she's been doing for AI S12 in Asia. Initially I wasn't too thrilled about the Singapore trip but that was just my reaction to that first reporter. She actually got some good press over there. Plus Idol's one great big platform that hopefully she'll be able to use to introduce new albums & singles for years to come, so it's smart to keep that relationship strong.
