Default Jessica Simpson signs $35 million 5 album contract with Columbia

Quote:
What the hell is wrong with the world. Jessica Simpson just signed a deal that would assure her $35 million dollars for a five album deal with Columbia.

When you consider that individually, shes "only" getting $7m an album, and the megadeal is likely to mean she wont get any "points" on the profits it's not all that sweet. But at the same time, This is the woman whos sold "just" 14 Million albums globally in her career, which is all fine and well until you consider her pop rivals Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have sold 65 Million and 30 Million respectively.

Suddenly your wondering why in the name of jesus the leading cause for the mute button on MTV would be paid $35 million dollars to contiously inflict pain upon the world. I'd rather someone paid her $35m to sew her mouth together and walk around naked all the time. What makes even less sense to me about this deal is that Jessica Simpson never sings any of her own songs. She always has to murder old, good songs that are likely to not make the label all that much money.

All i can suggest in the way of an explaination is that Jessica Simpson gave the head of Columbia the best blowjob since that time he did it with his dog.

That bitch wont make a dollar unless she stands on her head and barks like a dog when it comes to music. There gonna do her like they did Mooriah with Glitter.

Look at the hundreds of girls just like Jessica Simspon who have recording contracts? Do you really think the ability to sing is what is required to secure a deal?

To be honest no I dont think Jessica has a particularly amazing voice but I do think she can sing to a certain extent. The reason people will sign her is probably about 5% because of any talent that she has, and 95% because of people lke us who talk about her on daily/weekly basis and keep her 'popular'!

I never think, or talk about her, watch her on TV, or worst of all, listen to her "music." This constitutes my Jessica involvement right here.

But you still open a topic about her and comment.

I'm not picking fault, just making an observation.

Just because a lot of ppl talk/gossip about her doesn't mean they'll all be buying her albums.

"the leading cause for the mute button on MTV"


Like the article said, I noticed too that 35 million dollars is not that much compared to the standards.

And I also think that the company is taking a big risks by signing Jessica up for a five album deal.
Five albums means at least 5 years, and considering that her popularity is in a free fall I'm not too sure where she will be and what she will be doing in 5 years.

Ok she's in the gossip pages every day, but that doesn't guarantee selling albums.
See Victoria Beckham.
Jessica is a much better singer than Victoria, but if the public doesn't like her she's hopeless.
