An Austrailian Idol winner learns that the music industry is full of people who will lie, cheat and steal.
She should know, Bardot [her former band] was the first act in Australia to win an Idol-like show. "When it comes to album sales, when you take the money away from the costs you never see any money yourself" she says. "You are always recouping it. You are always paying the record company back for the film-clips they do, the publicity they do. It is like a never-ending credit card. I think people have to vary [sic] of that".
Tiffani says winners should know up front that they are paying for everything. "They want these amazing big budget clips but if you do that you are never going to earn anything through the sales because you owe them so much" she says.
Actually, there is something to take away from this. Royalities are hard to come by -- particularly if you do not have writing credit on the songs.

Well, Rylei, I'm sorry you don't particularly care for this site. But telling me it sucks doesn't particularly help. Either offer something specific that you don't enjoy or help yourself out to the many other offerings on the web.
