RE: Listen Up! 2013 perspective

At least Jessica has "Glee" which may help jump start her career and convince Interscope to do more for her.
Right, I think Haley's input in her album helped her in a lot of ways. (For starters, musically speaking..it was a better album. Granted. Jessica's is pretty good for a 17 year old.)
I think what will help Jessica is her already there International audience.
But part of me wonders if Interscope is ready to drop Jessica and pick up Amber..just to see if rinse and repeat happens again.
WELL...this is interesting...see below...I wonder if Interscope will repeat their same promo and marketing efforts with Jessica as Haley given her first week numbers. If so, not good for Jessica...
(From TheHonestyHour web site): "In related Idol news, Season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez released her debut album Me, You & the Music last week and the set arrives at No. 26 on the chart with 14,000 copies sold. This figure is slightly lower than initial projections of 15,000 to 17,000 copies. Sanchez’s sales are disappointing but not surprising. While she is incredibly talented (and I wish she’d won Idol), the promotion for the the record was non-existent as I explained here. Also, the album itself was pretty generic, in my opinion.
To put Sanchez’s sales into perspective, Haley Reinhart, Season 10 third-placer, debuted at No. 17 on the chart with her first studio album, Listen Up! with 20,000 copies in its first week. To see a comparison of other Idol contestants’ recent sales, visit USA Today."
