Carrie_On Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 What an odd season. So many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Signing a recording contract during the season seems like a bridge too far, honestly. Blake is releasing a single on March 29th through Groundwork, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if they aren't even guaranting record deals to the winner anymore maybe it just doesn't even matter to them anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they should change the contract. If that theory proves to be true, and they remain in the competition, they are setting a precedent for future rule breaking.

ptebwwong Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Is it possible Groundwork is the new management this season for any Idol contestants they are interested in? It would explain why Abi & KB are able to stay in the competition & why they're following several contestants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a possibility, at least for the non-country contestants, assuming that K.B. is not a country singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.B. has said that she doesn't really know what direction she wants to go in. She says she loves, pop, country and soul and would like to incorporate all 3 into her songs. So she could go in a lot of different directions I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be odd to encourage them to remove any mention of American Idol from their social media. There are also pre-existing contracts in place. They are releasing music through a label they just signed with. I think they dropped out. Edited March 9 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, notice that their singles are merely credited to Groundwork Records, rather than in partnership with 19. Plus, if that were the case, I suspect Blake’s participation could create the appearance of impropriety, which the rules also address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 If Abi and KB are gone, I imagine Blake has to be as well. He’s the one with the original ties to Groundwork. IDK, I guess Idol needs to introduce a hefty fine for breaking the contract in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1key Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I think they are still in the competition. They are all dropping their singles on Friday, March 29th because Hollywood Week starts Sunday, March 31st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The Groundwork CEO is an attorney. I have a hard time believing he’d sign these artists unless they were fully released from their pre-existing contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that Groundwork asked for them to remove Idol from their social media. That does make me think both dropped out. I didn't think both dropped out because this is such a small company. I would think if contestants really are considering dropping out trying to get a better deal with more better label/management especially since I think both have the potential to.

I agree that it would be odd to drop out to sign with such a small company. That’s why it didn’t make sense that they would even sign the deal now in the first place, regardless of whether they remained in the competition. Some people can be very convincing.

Tbh the only counterargument I could come up with for this is that the management doesn't want the artists making competing on Idol their personality trait since it could come across as cringe to followers. Which I get, but it's also shady (if that is even the case lmao) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idol Maniac Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 If the 3 of them withdrew or were disqualified, it could be quite disruptive for production. All 3 are in the same Top 24 group and only 2 are suppose to be eliminated from each group. If it were to become known before the voting for that episode took place, viewers would not bother to vote at all that night, which would be an issue, as the producers are anticipating that voting data.

I think their only recourse would be to combine the voting for both days as otherwise it wouldn't really be fair that people got eliminated on part 2 but not part 1. The only other solution I can think of would be to just not eliminate anyone in Hawaii. Which is why I still think they probably just keep them.

TeamAudra Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Let’s say for argument sake, they stay in. What happens if BBR Music Group decides they want to sign one or both of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 At least this isn’t as bad as when a girl won Top Model and got disqualified for previously working as an escort, so they had to re-film the finale and pick a different winner lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
