What works for television isn't necessarily the thing that works in the traditional journey of music
Yep. And that's why we almost never see stars from these types of shows. Because they either make music that is too talent show-ish, or their mainstream music is too far off from what they were known for on TV.

They have one single that's doing moderately well; let's not talk about their other singles or their album sales. Meghan Trainor has been the one saving Epic.
