The top two were beholden to that mess till like album 10 or some other such fuckery. (I'm not positive but 100 or 200 K per album seems to be a small amount, but I really don't know). I mean they don't get rights to the songs etc.??

Anywho, if AI is paying them on this schedule, then they do have some sort of say on their content, I suspect. I saw very little difference between ranked 1 or 2 actually.

How 'bout them apples!??

Wow! I did not know this! I wonder how much they get on their concert tours? I went one year and the place was sold out!

I've been thinking (I know, I know...but it *does* happen!) and I'm not too worried about Crystal's album, no matter whether she wins or takes the runner up prize. Simon has said all season that it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't sell out and that she's such an individual, ect. I'm sure that the masterminds behind the hoopla know she couldn't and won't pull off a teeny bopper, look at my new boobs and bleached hair routine. She's authentic and I think she'll hold fast to her ideals. Simon's company still has something to do with the AI kids, even with him going to the X Factor, I think.

I'm very glad that the top two turned out liked I hoped it would.
