if you were a producer...

American Idol: Season 3 Forum

if you were a producer or something... would you give michael keown a record deal? or any other contestants in AI3? if you were a producer... would you?!

Yes, I would give Michael a record deal, or if I were a producer on AI, I would have at least continue in the competition longer than he had. I would also have cut Lisa Wilson early in the competition due to her lack of effort in her work. Other people probably would offer a record deal to besides Michael is Lisa L., and maybe Cassie. I don't think I would offer Nicole a record deal, but I would probably help to bring her in the direction of broadway or something (her voice seems to fit that more).

ditto...

lol...
of course i won't... he's a terrible singer...!
lol!

PSYCHE!
lol.... well DUH! O f course I would! I would love to hear him sing live. If I had his record I'd probably be banned from over listening to it! lol

camile and fantasia without a doubt and maybe george.

Fantasia of course, and John Peter because he can be "made" into a star.

I would give Michael and also Lisa Leuschner a deal. Probably Amy as well.

Well, I'm not a producer, but my husband is. However, I AM a writer, and i do a lot of studio work with producers. And for the criteria that producers are looking for these days, I know for a fact: Fantasia, George, Jasmine, and LaToya could get a deal super easy. If Camille wasn't so nervous, she too would get one easily. But she looks like she is ready to pee when she gets on stage. My husband is a producer for Badboy and I have done professional work for Janet Jackson, so i pretty much know what they want to hear and see. But yeah, even Simon says "Fantasia, you don't even need this competition to get a record deal." So there you have it. To be honest, I know for a fact it's gonna come down to: Fantasia, George, Jasmine, and LaToya. They are by far the best singers in this whole thing. I can almost put ALL my chips on Fantasia. Thank goodness the people who know talent are the ones voting and NOT the people on these forums. LOL

If THEY were the only ones voting the maybe that would be true, however America is voting with a wide diversity of people. So I think you are going to be sadly disappointed in the outcome.

I think you will see in the top 3, LaToya, Jasmine and one of the Jon's, John Stevens or Jon Peter Louis or possibly George.

Fantasia's biggest problem is over singing, if she can stop that then she may be able to save herself.

Actually, the people on these forums ARE voting, j butter b. Anyone can vote, and I try to every week. That's the whole concept behind the show. America can choose it's next pop idol. And I agree with Ron's final three. Although I think Jon Peter Lewis will be around longer than John Stevens.

lol..i will bet you it comed down to fantasia, george,and jasmine. Any amount of money..I will put alllll the chips on fantasia and jasmine. And when one of those 3 wins, it will be so funny to come back on here and tell you, i told you so. Yeah these people on here are voting, but the majority of votes are coming from people who like good singing, and that is why you matt fans were shocked when he got sent home. Next week will be either Camille, Amy, or Jennifer. Look at the statistics of the people who have been in the bottom three already, pretty soon they are going to actually get voted off, don't you see how it happened the past years. If they keep gettin voted in the bottom 3, pretty soon their number is gonna be pulled. And so that is what im goin off of. So I'm telling you: Fantasia, nor George, nor Jasmine have ever been in the bottom 3 or LaToya, so they are pretty safe..and the others will go before them. It's just common sense. Not even my soul opinion speaking right now. Its just number facts.

I agree with you JBB, I usedto think Diana had it in her to win because she reminds me a lot of Kelly. BUT that's the whole point isn't it? You guys already HAVE a Kelly Clarkson, and don't need another. I'd say my two favourites that I hope will be in the final 2 would be Geroge and Jasmine, I love both of them! BUT.... at the same time I think that it's sad fact people don't really vote on talent and performance a lot of the time, as you could tell when Diana and Jennifer were in the bottom three (SHAME!), and quite frankly you have to develop a very strong fanbase and become very popular as well as sining well , so my predicted top 3 is JPL. Jasmine and Fantasia.

This has certainly drifted away from the original topic of this thread which was ... would you give Michael Keown ( or anyone else) a record contract.

( There is a thread to discuss our "Top 3". I'll find it and post the link.

Sooo ... back to topic

Sorry, but NO ... not Michael Keown because while his voice is wonderful, he's not "unique". The competition would be folks like Clay Aiken and Josh Grobin among others.

I would look to sign people who were overlooked, like Martha Krabill (Military Martha) who has tons of sparkle and "a story for the times" to go with the nice voice.

I'd take another look at Nicole Tieri ( Scooter Girl) because of the likeable image and sheer determination and again a nice voice..

I would grab John Stevens in a minute, because besides a great voice, he has something unique and different to offer.
He has that indefinable little something that draws people.
He is the one who will appeal to the widest demographic.
Even those who say he's boring still "like the kid" and want him to do well.

i would give gorge one first, of course.

JPL AND JOHN S AND MAYBE MATHEW R
