The guaranteed contract was ended when they switched to the most recent label (BMG). There has been a ton of speculation over whether they would sign Iam Tongi. They did not. 


Well, I think they will sign Abi, as she’s probably more mainstream than Iam might have been even if she’s not country.

She's going to need to write or have someone write better songs for her though if she wants to have post season success.

The fact that they couldn’t find more than a minute to let them sing their winners songs is bullsh*t. They probably won’t sell as well because of it. The label need to slap some sense into them. 

yea that was dumb LOL it should’ve been a normal +2min performance.

I am still a bit confused about how BBR, which is BMG’s country label, became the only ones who have signed Idol contestants. BMG has a bunch of other labels and imprints that might make more sense for a non-country singer.

 

ETA: For example, NKOTB, who performed at the finale are licensed by the main BMG label.

I wonder if what BBR is doing what Big Machine tried to do with Idol back in S14-S15. Big Machine is a country label, but at the time they were trying to branch out into other genres. They marketed Nick Fradiani to pop radio, La'Porsha to R&B, etc. Maybe BBR signed Haven & We, but are trying to get into other genres.

Is it true that Katy Perry is retiring from American Idol?

 

Yes Katy announced it even before the season started airing.

Off topic but the Filipino stan twitter-adjacent FB meme page I’m part of posted a picture of Julia singing at the Finale comparing her looks to a certain Filipino TikToker who I will not link because Julia fans might find it offensive 😭

Same here!  I'd definitely attend a Girls Tour -- especially for Abi!

Why are Will and Abi on the way to New York? Is this typical?

 

Yeah, I think it's typical.  I think I'll watch Abi tomorrow on YouTube, but I might watch Will on YouTube as well -- or not.  Don't know on him.

It’s All Love by Abi and Gone For Good by Will are charting as well at #42 and #45 respectively.

They are doing some promo for their winners singles I believe ... its a normal tradition 


The best promo would have been to let them sing for more than 30 seconds. LOL
