Tamera, you're correct, a lot of people are humoring themselves. That's the beauty of something like American Idol or even this VH1 thing. It's why people tune in to see the first show of AI, to watch people that think they have what it takes, and can't take no for an answer.

However, there are a few people, that realistically know what the potential for their music is. I'm not saying one way or the other about the contest and what someone else should do. People can dream, why stop them? I know for me personally how much of a pain in the ass it is to get out of a contract when something better comes along. But then, I'm not fooling myself either.

As I said, I have had a contract that came back to bite me in the ass. It's precisely why I personally won't enter something in a contest like this. It's also why I don't like signing anything without negotiating and have a lawyer look at it. I'm also getting pretty good at reading most legal things now to know certain verbage that doesn't behoove me unless I can negotiate it. Obviously with a contest like this, there is no negotiation.
