I am not familiar with the contest he won. He actually won 1 million dollars and is now asking people to donate money to him! I can't believe anyone would trust him to use the money for an album.

He won America's Got Talent Season 3 (the same season that Donald Braswell II won the fourth spot). I used to quite like him then...but now...I don't know what to say...

It was several years ago, and it costs a lot of money to launch yourself. He also got a recording contract but his album flopped massively - selling only a few thousand copies! He must have owed the label hundreds of thousands (record deals are loans - not gifted money). He has also attempted to get into politics which is also expensive. He is asking for money to make a new album and I for one believe that he needs it. Getting an album produced by a professional producer is about $30,000 alone, let alone all the personnel, engineers, musicians, studio time, distribution deals and physical production. That is just getting it made - the real expensive part is the promotion. He isn't even asking for that much money, considering. Looks like he will pay for most of it himself. I cannot stress enough how expensive making an album is - especially for indies who have no financial backing whatsoever. He's debut album was a bore (it was with Decca) - but he has a great voice and I wish him luck.  |
