Who Else Will Clive Davis Sign?
With all the chit-chat these days about Clive Davis, I’m not sure any former American Idol contestants are waiting with baited breaths for a record deal. However, they did get exposure and are likely looking for more…Let the battle of the “losers” begin (yes, I know, there are no losers but you know what I mean - would you rather I said ‘non-winners’?”
It’s no secret that Simon Cowell loves Melinda Doolittle, but what will become of that? Over the next few months, Clive Davis and 19 Entertainment will decide which former contestants will sign their souls away get record deals. Last season, they signed winner Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee, Chris Daughtry, and Kellie Pickler. They passed on Elliott Yamin (dumb).
So far, Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle appear to be shoo-ins (we’ll see, though, ’cause it’s been a strange year) but what will happen to LaKisha Jones, Chris Richardson, Phil Stacey, and Gina Glocksen? Or Sanjaya for that matter???
Seriously, though, aside from Jordin, who would you like Clive to sign? Feel free to tell me who you would not like to see sign with Clive Davis. For me, that would be Blake. Please don’t sign with him, Blake!!!

Whitney was signed with him and he pushed her over.Aretha Franklin also.

Unless they have changed things, I believe Jordin HAS to sign and RCA has first right of refusal for the #2 spot. I can’t remember where I read it, but I vaguely remember RCA has first right of refusal down the line for either Top 10 or Top 12…can’t be sure.
I was pulling for Sabrina right from the beginning, but she doesn’t know how blessed she is to go out when she did. My 2nd choice was Jordin….she certainly has the vocals, but RCA is crap! Clive’s ego is waaaaaaay over the top, and the company would do better with fresh, young blood.

Poor Jordin. She’s contracted to Clive for the next 3 years. They own her now. It will be interesting to see how they market her in conjunction with Leona Lewis. If she doesn’t meet Clive’s sales expectations, I think he will just dump her - like Taylor Hicks.
I’m not sure Blake wants the hassle of dealing with Clive. I think he would be happy going the indie route, like Elliott, so he can have artistic control.

I agree Amanda. Blake is far too special to let anyone control his artistic expressions.

Gerri - do you think Clive is that same person he was 20 years ago? I’m young so I’m basing it all on what I read and have heard. It just seems like he has gotten a little worse with his old age. What do you think?
Deanie - I was going to add something to my original post but I wanted to see if anyone brought it up. Like you said, Jordin has to sign with them…unless there’s a scandal. Of course, I don’t foresee one in this girl’s immediate future but I’ve learned after this season to never say never. I do believe you are right about the contracts, though. I don’t know what to think of Clive anymore. Ugh.
amanda and Liz - I heard Blake say that it was a 3 year contract for the winner also. Can you imagine!?!?!?
I really hope they treat her well. I also agree that Blake should really go the indie route. I would hate to hear what his songs would sound like with Clive’s hands all over them. Not because Clive is so awful but because their styles are so different.

OMG! Three crappy years of being owned by some cranky old man? Are you kidding me? That sucks. Please Blake, don’t do it! Too bad for Jordin. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Clive Davis seems, to me, like someone who wants to be on this power trip of control. The only person from this season that I think might do well under this label(and not get screwed over) is Antonella Barba - horrible I know. This is mostly because they may be able to mold her into what he wants
BTW- Antonella was not too great of a singer, but I could see her doing a Hilary Duff type thing.

I totally agree w/ you guys. Signing w/ them will ruin Blake. Pleze Blake don’t!! He’s awesome himself and I don’t want some idiot to change his music!
♥♥Luv my Blakey♥♥

I would buy an Antonella Barba album but I would prefer someone other than Clive Davis making it. I think the man lost his mind years ago. The crappy music he puts out sure does sound like it. Clive Davis is nothing but a friggin joke. Both him and his company.

Wow, now I’m glad Blake didn’t win. He needs full creative freedom, not someone holding him back. Jordin is awesome and I hope it works out for her.
