Quote:Contracts
All American Idol Contestants that reach the top 12 have to sign a contract that gives 19 Entertainment the right to sign them to an album contract if they choose. It doesn't matter if you finish first or 12th, if the AI people want you on their label, that's where you're going. So there's no truth to the notion that if you finish lower you have more artistic freedom - unless 19 Entertainment decides to cut you loose.

They can also assert the right to be your manager. From the NY Times:

Quote:
"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."

Note that's not even a record contract. Even if 19 Entertainment chooses not to give you a record contract, if you go off and sign with someone else they can exercise their option to be your 'manager', and any non-recording income you make they get a piece of.

Chris Sligh goes on to talk about how to keep the momentum going and manage to build some kind of career out of the ashes of an 'American Idol' run. Bottom line: If you have songwriting talent and performing talent, and you're willing to work really hard, being on the show will open enough doors that you have a shot as a reasonable career as a professional working musician. That means touring small clubs, playing a lot of gigs, writing a lot of songs for other artists and hoping they get picked up. etc.
I just saw Chris Sligh acting in a very good movie about adoption & abortion called: "October Baby"
