Phillip Phillips says "American Idol" producers are ruining his career ... and he wants out of his contract with them before he goes in the dumper.
Phillips claims 19 Entertainment has held him down since he won the competition in 2012. Phillips claims 19 controls every aspect of his career and has made decisions that only benefit them and actually hurt him.
Phillips mentions one concert -- where he was forced to perform a free show for a JetBlue ad, and 19 flat out told him he had to do it because it benefited the "American Idol" live concert tour.
He also says they have kept him in the dark to the point he wasn't even consulted about the title to one of his albums and only found out when he heard about it in the media.
Is that really him in the picture? He looks so aging.
And this isn't at all surprising. That's what you get when you go for those tv competitions. They only care to look out for their own best interests. It's better to get eliminated early on: You get the free publicity from the show and you get to keep control over your career. Poor bby though. He's talented, I'm sure he will be fine. He's been one of the more successful AI winners of late.

This is why American Idol needs to be cancelled. Literally every winner has complained that their labels control everything.
He is too talented for that treatment. I hope he ends up working out something with his label.
Find a better label I hope he gets what he needs
