I don’t think that most fans know or care about who manages their favorite singers.  And most managers don’t spend time communicating with fans.  I follow a few managers on twitter, and they hardly ever tweet about their artists.  Most, even someone like Scooter Braun, are more likely to have access to their artists’ twitter or facebook accounts, and that’s how they keep in touch with fans.  For the most part, I don’t think it’s an issue that the firms or artists address.

mmm…Hunter Hayes is a “country star’ and he’s pretty much young, being adult now, and still making success

19M, XIX Fuller, 19E or whatever this stupid specialized Idol management is called would never drop their biggest success right now. If Scotty left it, it was his own decision for a better management. Maybe he’s already searching for a mgmt with more experience outside the bubble.

Bu bye.  

As it was stated earlier here, I fully expect we will eventually see some clarification one way or the other from Shirley Halperin somewhere down the line on where Scotty is still managed by Fuller’s XIX company or not.  I highly doubt they would want to drop Scotty considering the success he has had post AI.  No, everything hasn’t been roses 100% of the time but as it was mentioned yesterday about the Larry Flick interview, it could have lead to a possible switchover in management, so who knows.  I think we will get to the bottom of this eventually.    

in ascension, he’s. But then again, MY POINT was just he’s being successful for a mgmt drop him withtout reason. I don’t know and I don’t care and I don’t want to lose time knowing in what hell of the nineteen’s he’s. lol

I would assume Scotty just moved on to a new management team…good for him…Fuller has done great for Carrie, but Scotty may rightly want someone unaffiliated with Idol who can devote more time to him..and can work around his college aspirations as well.  This is management — not label.  Some artists switch management a lot, some stay with one manager forever…whatever works best for the artist…I’m sure Scotty wasn’t “dropped” by Fuller….clients don’t get released by management all that often and there would be no reason to release Scotty. Either his contract was up and he decided to move on, or all parties agreed that he would be better off with different management.  Good for Scotty for being pro-active

I find it interesting that in Idol-world there is always a quick assumption that when a relationship changes — be it management or label or what have you — it must be the Idol alum who is “dropped” or rejected or dismissed or whatever term you want to use.  The first thought is rarely that the Idol artist wanted to move on.  But the truth is that artists change management, artists fulfill contractual obligations to labels and look elsewhere, relationships change….there are only very very small handful of artists that remain with one label throughout their careers these days.  I know that there is a track record of major labels dropping Idol artists (e.g. not picking up existing options), but in some cases the situation is more complicated — there is no option to pick up and there is a parting of the ways, the artist is very unhappy with the label and is happy to move on etc.  And management is a whole different ball of wax — non-idol artists change management all the time and the public/fans never give it a second thought (unless there has been a long time relationship that blows up….and then peeps just enjoy the gossip factor).   I just find it curious that the first thought among Idol fans is that the artist has failed and been dumped.   

“This is because the assumption is that idol contracts bind Idol aluns to the label and management for a few years, but that the reverse isn’t true.  This is an assumptions based on various tibbits of information we’ve had.”

Cook himself said he had a 2 record deal.  He fulfilled that.  It was apparent that he wasn’t happy and said that they parted ways amicably.  Why is it so hard for Idol fans to think that he was lying and was dumped?  Because Idol fans like to see ones they don’t like fail.  From all accounts by the one involved, when the opportunity arose, he left.

Scotty’s pic is still missing from the XIX site, so I think that an error by the website is looking very unlikely. Of course, this was discovered over the weekend, so perhaps if there was an error, it will be corrected sometime this week.

Chill, Cathy nor anyone has to know the McCreerys on personal basis to make stmt of opinion, especially since it was topic of news reported when Scotty and family were negotiating the record deal…Scotty said, parents, lawyers, etc. were working out details and he mentioned it on few different occasions. He implied that they were not just jumping in without in depth understanding of the issues upon which decisions were to be made.
