Piers speaks for me:

They quoted $60 million, but that was the amount invested in Kemosabe total. The number for Kesha is more likely to be around $11 million.

If you want to see one way this ends, look into JoJo’s story. Her label got dropped by company after company, but she was still owned by them. And she couldn’t release ANY music for 10 years.

Currently, Kelly Clarkson just finished her contract with RCA (under Sony), but the others who have spoken up are big enough stars/clients that you avoid any ill will from them.

“Lady Gaga, Adele, and Kelly Clarkson”

This is correct. They are essentially washing their hands of the situation.

what.

Your wish is my command. Robyn actually sang the demo. It’s also been said that Kelly took the chorus up on her own and no one knew she was going to do it until she was in the booth singing:

She was actually the driving force that made that a pop rock song. It was originally sparse and bubblegum. Soooooo not necessarily true.

In case you were wondering, this is in reference to My Life Would Suck Without You, which she was 100% required to do after the release of My December, or the label promised to drop her career into a hole and forget about her forever (aka, what they’ve done to Kesha).

Yeah...that’s troubling. I think she was going for something self-deprecating and missed by quite a margin.

This tends to be the niche where Tim Burton actually succeeds, plus it’s adapting a great book.

I’m basic and always go immediately to Homogenic.

The timestamp in the upper right corner is in CPT.

Apparently she recorded a medley of her songs for the finale, and she had to do it multiple times because she kept bawling during AMLT. It’s going to overshadow everything.

She wrote this as a follow-up to Because of You, and I’m happy she got to perform it on Idol. Just from this performance, the song hit #1 on iTunes and the album went from the 1500s to #3.

Really wanted Idris Elba for this. Would have been PERFECT.

The non-electropop songs were the best part of Warrior.

Like, I feel invincible when this is playing and I’m pretty sure this song is single-handedly going to end Winter and make flowers bloom.

Unfortunately, her contract is through Dr. Luke’s company, Kasz Money, and not Sony directly.
