Top 2: Winner had to pay to make the single?

Submitted by admin on 3 November, 2006 - 9:09am.

Classic Hits said this morning that a reliable source had told them that there was a clause in the winner's contract which said that they had to pay for the recording of their single out of the $50,000.

If that's true, then saying they win $50,000 AND a recording contract is really misleading! What do you think?

According to SPP, the single was not paid for out of the $50,000

Sheesh, thank god.  That would have been completely rotten of them to make the winner pay for the single  .

Good. Do you know how much roughly it costs to make and distribute a single?

how long is a piece of string??

it could have been anywhere from $500 to $5000 to record it. It costs around $0.60 per disc to manufacture but that depends on quantity. Distribution aint that bad because the costs are passed on.

So I wonder how much Ben is looking at.  He could so have done with that money to help his singing career along - because that's what he would have used it for!  Well not all of it I suppose but whatever was needed.

Wonder how Luke managed it.Puzzled

I'm surprised Matt signed the contract if that's the case.

It would have been a case of sign the contract & get a single or don't sign it & you don't get a single! And it would have looked really dum to win idol & then not even come out with a single! Its a lose lose situation really :(

It gets worse!:(    Not a prize at all then, just a condition that they have to pay for a single!  Hope it was worth it!

Did Indira have to pay too then, even though her's won't be released?
