They also better get their heads out of their *sses and realize that when they diss winners they also diss the fans that got that winner there. They don’t have to like the style of music that their current winner does, just let the performer do their thing and the fans will do theirs.
Their obvious manipulation and disparagement of winners only makes them look bad and brings the whole show down after they spent so much time building it up.
I agree with you completely. What Clive Davis did last night is the talk of the entertainment blogs and forums, and the commentary has been uniformly negative toward him.
Glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed the poor treatment of Taylor. It makes no sense. True, he hasn’t sold as many CDs as Daughtry, but he’s been touring, getting great reviews and performing for sold-out crowds. You’d think AI would brag about that, saying, “Look how successful our winners are!”
Supposedly the sales of Taylor’s CD are up on amazon.com since the finale. Imagine how well he’d be selling if AI had promoted him properly all along, instead of ignoring or dissing him.
