I don't think AI wanted TH to fail because they have to much invested. I am sure 19 & AI want to sell as many records as possible to make money. I sure nothing would have made them happier than if his album sold over a million copies.

AI bad mouth and dissed TH whenever they could, and still do. He never got the same promotion as a winner as the others did.

I didn't care for his first CD eithe and the one song on it that I bought it for, because I liked his pre Idol version of it so much, sucked on the new cd because it had been changed and not in a good way, imho. I was very disappointed. He should have left it alone. I hope he learned something from that first cd.

If AI did this then it was stupid. Because you don't want to hurt your own brand as a company you want it to be successful. It doesn't jive with conventional thinking for a company to try and destroy it's own brand.

What I am wondering if there is more behind the scenes than we are being told by both sides. When the album sells didn't meet expectations then there could have been a lot of finger pointing and "I told you so's" on both sides that it created a riff.

Alot of people think you can take anyone and make it successful with today's technology. Take for instance the O'Town band experiment we know that is not true. You have to have actual talent. And then there are the dozens of band releases each year that do not go anywhere.

Then there are bands that get little or no air play and they make it on the strength of their live performances and word of mouth to become superstars.

I don't know what happen with TH's first CD but it was not good. That being said if he produces a good one on his own and gets good live performance reviews then just maybe he want end up on a VH-1 reality series with Ron Jermey, Tara Ried, Gary Coleman, and Flavor Flav.
