She's somewhat pretty and has a somewhat good voice and I guess being in country helped but picking her over some of the others? :blink_tb: I have to say that I never thought that Kristy would be the first after the Davids to be signed and especially by 19.

Kristy has wholesome good looks, a great smiile, a better-than-average voice, and -- sorry! -- plenty of personality. More than Underwood had at this stage! Remember her farewell song? I think she showed a lot of guts and toughness on AI. I dig her. I'll buy her CD. I’m not surprised by this.

I just hope they get picked up by someone, so that I can buy their cd's. I'm confused by Michael Johns' involvement with Diane Warren and David Foster. I thought he wanted to go with more of a rock vibe. But, those two are pretty far in the opposite direction. Perhaps MJ secretly wants to be the next Celine Dion? LOL I don’t think either Brooke or Jason has a prayer of being signed by any of the 19 labels. I just hope they get picked up by someone, so that I can buy their cd’s.

I'm not a fan but I wish her well. I sincerely hope that 19E, 19M nor 19R signs Jason. He needs more creative control than they would probably allow. He said that he likes to take his time to connect to songs he sings. Rushing to put out a CD would not be ideal for him. I hope he gets a deal similar to Elliott's. Jason is already a songwriter so maybe he will get a publishing deal first and then a virtual record label deal built around him too. (A girl can dream.) Since Jason has written on his blog that he will release a CD in winter or spring, he must have something in the works. I remember during Jason's radio interview while he was home for his hometown celebration, he and his mom said that they (and others) were up late the previous night making career decisions. Kellie released her single and her CD first. I guess Kristy will do the same. I remember how excited Kellie was to hear her first single on the radio while they were on tour. Kellie co-wrote a lot of her songs. I wonder if Kristy is a songwriter. Whomever is not signed by one of the Sony/BMG companies probably won't be allowed to sign with anyone until three months after the finale. Doesn't 19 take a huge share of the artist's cut? I thought I read that sometimes during Season 5. I wonder who else they will sign. Probably MJ and/or Carly. Congrats to Kristy. I’m not a fan but I wish her well.

Unfortunately or fortunately, Kat, Blake, and even Taylor didn't have such luck. If Bucky Covington can be hailed as a success story, so can KLC...

2. She will sell very, very well.

Yup!

If you ever get a chance on her first disc she recorded a great song called à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Devotedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  that I thought showcased some powerful country vocals. I honestly think that with Idol not having a female rock pop singer with a strong voice that they will also sign Carly or at least make sure sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s signed and keep a percentage of it. I also think that Michael Johns and Jason (as long as he proves heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s serious about the business) will be the other two sure bets to be signed.

I've seen Elliott perform several times. He has great stage presence. He's come a long way in the last couple years. "Looks" are in the eye of the beholder. If he & his model gf ever broke up, I have no doubt there'd be a long line of honey's waiting to take her place. He had one relative in the business that gave him guidance but knowing pros in the biz doesn't guarantee anything. Look at all these kids that get signed by big record labels that have many professionals guiding them. Many of them have tanked. Elliott worked his butt off promoting himself. He travelled from city to city doing radio tours. The stations played his music because they liked his voice and they liked him (talent plus charisma).

I think it was Elliott's talent that got him recognized, cousin or not. Which is why Elliott didn't have a recording deal before Idol. He didn't magically gain a cousin after Idol--he was always there.

My other favorite that didn't win MJ I think will do okay. In season 5 both Pickler and Daughtry had albums out before the winner. I think Do I Make You Proud is considered Taylor's single and it was out right after the show ended. I wish they would put out a record of TOML as I enjoy having one as kind of a keepsake. As per Melinda and Elliott, both great singers , but you have to have looks or charisma or both these days (not fair). IMO Elliott would not have been so successful with out relatives in the recording business to guide him despite having talent. It's a tough business. Daughtry has done better than I expected and I think the record company felt he wouldn't do as well as a solo artist, not bad looking, but not much stage presence so they developed the band to make him saleable and it worked, big time. TPTB I think feel Cookie can succeed without a band as he owns the stage all on his own. I hope the ones that really want careers in music have their dreams come true.

I will have to listen to Anyway and maybe it will change my opinion of her. It is hard for me to get past the picture in my mind and head of her singing that Beatles song. That was pretty funny and I really couldnt take her too seriously after that. I hope she does well, I am not a big fan of country though.
