This thread is soooo ****in stupidddddd





















lol j/k

1) 30-40

2) Patrick Stump, Rick Rubin, & Kanye West.

3) Kanye West, T-Pain, Brendan Urie, Eminem, & Chris Martin.

4) Mostly others, but some me (Because I can rly only write a song if a topic is given to me, or if it just comes to me magically lol).

5) I release the song with Eminem as my first single, then follow it up with the track with T-Pain. And also promote my album & songs on Facebook, Commercials, TV Shows, Movies, etc.

6) The song with Eminem.

1) how many songs do you record - 25

2) what producers do you use - Don Gilmore, Rick Rubin, Kara DioGuardi, John Shanks, Nicky Ryan, Stuart Brawley, The Matrix, and John Alagia...

3) who are your guests - Enya, Jamie Lynn Spears (sorry, I like her voice, and it'd gain attention from press), Akira Yamaoka, Sarah Brightman, and a choir...Though some of these (namely Akira, Sarah, and the choir) wouldn't be credited as a feature since they won't contribute much more than backup vocals in a song for certain vocal effects that a guy or solo artist can't do.

4) do you do your own writing or have it written for you amongst the atrists and producers that you choose - Both. I will co-write some tracks, but not all.

5) how do you ensure that you reach platinum status - I don't actually care about platinum status though it is a plus, so to try to get it, my label would need to promote me as much as needed, Internet, Performances, TV interviews, 3 singles, etc. Also, as a result of having her on my album, the press would pay attention to Jamie's appearance on the album, thus resulting in a few more sales due to name recognition.

6) which song would you use as your lead single - For my debut single, I would choose a song that was very teen pop oriented mixed with rock and a bit of dream pop to generate some buzz. My overall album would be a mix of pop rock, folk/country pop, dance, and dream pop and ambient (hence the producers chosen).

^Your album would flop lol

No it wouldn't. It'd at least do 300-400K+ in the US. Plus, I wouldn't be with Hollywood Records You probably just don't know a lot of the people I chose and that they are musical genius' It's called originality bb.

I know i'd be on Jive/Zomba records or Def Jam with Rihanna (my dream)

1) how many songs do you record
20
2) what producers do you use
Red One, Danja, DarkChild
3) who are your guests
Hilary Duff, Martin from Boys Like Girls, Carrie Underwood
4) do you do your own writing or have it written for you amongst the atrists and producers that you choose
Co-write some tracks, but not all. Probably only 3 tracks.
5) how do you ensure that you reach platinum status
Do Britney's strategies.
6) which song would you use as your lead single
"Billboard Craze" featuring Hilary Duff
