PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"What the winner, runner up and third place finishers get paid by AI" |
TMZ obtained an AI contestant's contract--from court. It was filed because the contestant was a minor.http://www.tmz.com/2010/05/12/american-idol-contract-sex-judges-simon-cowell/ After the stipulations about no relationships with anyone related to AI...there's the money part: "And in the money department ... here's the way it breaks down. The winner gets $175,000 when he/she starts recording ... and another $175,000 when that person "delivers" the first album. If the winner gets a second album, he/she gets anywhere between $275,000 and $550,000 depending on the success of the album. As for a third album -- anywhere between $325,000 and 650,000. As for a forth -- anywhere between $375,000 - $750,000. As for a fifth -- $450,000 - $900,000. And a six album gets the winner between $500,000 and a cool $1 mil. The second place finisher gets $150,000 when he/she starts recording their first album ... and another $150,000 upon delivery. The second album gets the runner-up between $225,000 and $450,000 and so on. As for 3rd through 12th place -- if the label signs them -- they each get $100,000 when he/she begins recording album #1 and another $100,000 upon delivery ... though most of them end up playing hot air balloon festivals."
So $350,000 for the winner's first album
and $300,000 for the runner up's first album
and $200,000 for the third place finisher's album
And the way the contract is written, they could get just the same for the second album. Now we know why some of them record a Christmas album. (Ruben, Clay, Archuletta, anyone else?)

Yeah, the more albums that they crank out under the label, the faster they climb up the salary ladder........ and the better the next contract might be when/if they leave...........

And a reminder how meager this is compared to a first or second or third round draft pick in the sports league of your choice.

So anyone else think the minor whose contract had to be filed in court was Aaron?

Wouldn't surprise me in the least since I think he's still in HS/Charter School......... if a billboard that I think I briefly saw while he was still in play was any indication.......

My speculation was that he's adopted by his aunt, right? and maybe the terms of her guardianship/adoption was that a court trustee looked out for him? Out of my bailiwick on this one.
