Just a side note, because Interscope doesn't learn. See if this story sounds familiar...
Interscope signed Jessica. Released a single in March..that was a poor choice for a single. Gave her little promotion besides local stuff and a performance on idol. (A performance that wasn't going to charm the older audience) and now her debut, released a year later, is expected to sell about 20K in it's first week.
(Jessica got the Glee promo all by herself. Glee approached her because of her idol run.)
We'll see if she gets another single and a tour and what not. Jessica does have the already there international audience waiting for her.
But you would think Interscope would have learned...
I remember to have read (not sure if it was at IF), that sometimes, the main Record company attached to these types of shows used to sign runner ups in order to take advantange of their push of the show or to let them cool and not interfere with their main act or even to avoid that other record companies would take advantage of their exposure and they dropped them after a while.... that would be a mean purpose, but who knows.
Jessica could have been a safe pop act for them....why not to promote her
Interesting point, Shela. There would be no way that Jessica would compete with Phillip's fanbase, because their genres are completely different. So why not promote her.
