I haven't checked it yet, but Adam is not Simon Cowell's artist. He is a Sony/19M artist. I think he confirmed it when people asking about his promo in UK that he's nothing to do with Simon Cowell.. but he has something to do with Simon Fuller. Plus Cowell has never talked about Adam since the finale and he's reluctant to talk about Adam when someone interviewed him i.e. ex-idol to compete in X Factor Yeah, Adam's not Simon Cowell's artist, but Q3 was explaining in the "How Much Money Does Adam Make for his Music" thread that there's a shell game going on with 19 and SYCO and a lot of Idols have a SYCO logo on their albums as part of the financial deal with Simon to keep X-Factor out of the US for all those years. It was driving me batshit to think that Cowell's money-grubbing soul could be profiting off of Adam when he (Cowell) has had NOTHING to do with any of Adam's hard work and subsequent sucesses. More here: atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=strategy&thread=42&page=2 Oh, Hoppers, don't go batshit on us.. (Didn't ya see yer bucket of lollies with a huge bouquet of flowers saying 'WELCOME HOME, MAMA!! They were so sadz without you and glad you have deassimilated and back to yer ornery self  ) I didn't even take ONE. Not even the Adam-lickin' lollie..I lied. Keep me in mind, tho, next time I am extra good, K? No one has lollies like you, Hoppers!! Feelin' better???  |

They SYCO logo only appears on the albums from AI1 to AI4. It was not referenced in the second contract covering AI5 to AI9. I have not check all of the albums but it is on Clay's and Kelly's early albums.Adam is managed by 19 Management not Simon Cowell. What I am referring to is solely a financial arrangement. Simon Cowell gets a percentage of royalties for all Idol artists from AI1 though AI9. It is a totally passive arrangement. The contract came out when there was a lawsuit between Cowell and 19E/Simon Fuller. All of the documents needed to trace the financial arrangements are filed with the US SEC and part of the settlement in the UK. If you want info, please PM me. Took me months to collect all the documents to figure it out. But I have a copy of the contract between Idol and Simon Cowell's company SYCO. The comment you are referring to is that there was some confusion in the press about who was doing Adam's UK promo -- that was Simon Fuller, not Cowell. And Adam cleared it up. And, as we later learned, Simon Fuller was focused on trying to survive at CKX (he did not) and Sony UK had to take over Adam's UK promo at the last minute. ETA: One more attempt to be clear. Simon Cowell has no direct relationship with Adam Lambert. Simon Cowell, through his company SYCO, has a solely financial arrangement with 19 Entertainment to get a percentage of 19 Recordings royalties. Hope that makes sense. Thankfully, neither Simon has anything to do with Adam any more. Yikes... thanks God you're here to give all these explaination Q3. I don't like reading legal docs... ;D btw- my understanding that Fuller has some share in UK XFactor as part of the Fuller vs Cowell settlement also. I was wondering if Fuller has some share in America X Faxtor also because of it. So.. Adam's no longer under Fuller's wing??? How about other AI alumns such as Kelly, Carrie or Daugtry? The 2005 Simon Fuller - Simon Cowell settlement gave Fuller 20% of the profit from X-Factor UK and Cowell some of the profit from American Idol -- reported to be 30% to 40% by the NY Times but never confirmed to my knowledge. This was a private settlement made in the UK. As far as I know Fuller gets nothing from AGT and X-Factor US. Simon Fuller still has a consulting agreement with CKX and he is still managing Carrie Underwood but no other Idols. Apollo will probably buy out the Fuller's contract since they were both competing to take over CKX. (Fuller put together a group to buy the company after he was ousted but the board did not accept the offer because Fuller could not prove that he had the money.) CKX was sold for a much lower price than expected -- partly because of the declining value of Idol -- the older it gets, the more likely it is to fall. X-Factor may well knock it off. Popcorn time! |
