Phillip Phillips Suing to Escape 'Oppressive' Idol Contract

According to a shocking new story by The Hollywood Reporter, American Idol Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips is suing 19 Entertainment to get out of his “oppressive,” “manipulative,” and “fatally conflicted” contract.

"I am very grateful for the opportunities provided to me through appearing on American Idol,” Phillips said in a statement. “The value that the fans and the show have given to my career is not lost on me. However, I have not felt that I have been free to conduct my career in a way that I am comfortable with. I look forward to being able to make my own choices about my career and to being able to make great music and play it for my fans.”

Among Phillips’s complaints, listed in a petition filed with the California Labor Commissioner on Jan. 22: that 19 hired a producer, Greg Wattenberg, for his first two albums that compromised his interests; that 19 lied to him about Wattenberg’s mechanical royalty rates; that 19 withheld information regarding his career, including the title of his sophomore album, Behind the Light; that it is a conflict of interest for 19 to be both his record label and management company; and that he was forced to perform for free for one of Idol's sponsors, JetBlue, as well as for other corporate events.

^ Phillip Phillips had a different type of record deal coming off of Idol.

Meghan got signed I believe without having a strenuous contract that the reality tv shows give out.

anyways for meghan its been about 9 months since AATB was released. But why April, was April 2014 when she got signed to Epic Records because 1 year after getting signed to then get her monies makes a lot more sense then when her first single debuted

and co-writes! Like she is gonna get royalties eventually, but when is the question.
She said April, but is this true?

[Flawfree]

Yeah, she won't see money until everybody else is paid off first. Not unless she starts touring, in which case she would need to pay off the expenses before pocketing any profits. I remember how shocked Rihanna was when she looked at her bank account and accused her financial adviser of ripping her off after GGGB. You will barely make anything off music sales.

Yep!

[katykater]

They are deducting from her royalties all the money they invested in her to make her a star before they start paying out. Yes, they even have the receipts of the pizzas she ate.

[Legendtina]

She'll be a millionaire when she finally gets her check.

[Drowned_World]

That's unbelievable.
