Apparently you are the one with your head up your ass. Maybe others are stupid enough to believe it, but I'm not. Your head is up your ass. Payola is payola. How do you explain for example Madonna's "Give Me All Your Luvin'" tanking on the charts after a solid debut. Did the label suddenly pull the plug on the Queen of Pop?Yes. There are lots of songs from major labels that never leave the cutting room floor. You think every label is out there paying millions to get a song played? Nope. Not every label and not every song/artist. Madonna got a push just long enough to help her first week album sales and then they pulled the plug. What is the return on investment if you don't sell a few million singles?Depends which format and what level they paid for. Top 10 on Pop costs more than a million so you better sell millions of singles! What about surprise success stories like FUN. and The Wanted on the charts? Do you think an small labeled artist like FUN. and The Wanted who are a UK band payed for their songs to be #1? I highly doubt it. They are absolutely bought and paid for but there are the occasional novelty successes that get huge on YouTube and go viral, but that's rare. You seem to think major labels just shit money and anyone can be a star. It's far from that. It takes many things to be in motion to be a success and radio is just a slice of the pie. I'm sure there is som payola involved in any small or big labeled artist but you are over exaggerating it all. Rebecca Black. I just wish you and Robbin would stop with this Payola shit because it's really inaccurate and only said to diss Kelly and Adam. Nope. It's the truth and you just don't want to face it.

I didn't realize there was a big Adam vs James thing going on. I like James, but Adam was better on idol (should have won, I think). I haven't had a chance to listen to his whole album (Adam) but I think he has the potential to be huge if he gets the right music.

James thing. there are plenty of people who hate them both. I don't hate James, in fact I rarely think about him. I think James was better prior to Idol, if the youtubes are any indication. One idol he failed to give consistent vocal performances and post idol it's been the same.

You are such a liar! All anyone needs to do is go back in this thread and see what a hater you are! You even accused him of not having Tourette's . Your ability to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence always surprises me.
