Oh sure...but the normal "office worker" doesn´t get paid huge advances (millions) up-front. You do - and so Sony or whoever are protecting their investment. Stop moaning and start making music...
I think the issue was Sony wanted him to record and release material faster than he could. George at the time was a cash cow so Sony wanted to capitalize on that, but George was more interested in quality than quantity.
George is phonominal singer. He has been slighted by the powers that be. I wish he was still on top. He is really awesome. He can sing like a freaking angel.
I am a HUGE fan George!!!! Just think on this.... The people watching this CANNOT relate to those amounts of money so therefore why are you sharing it with us??????
I absolutely adore you and my dying wish is to share dinner with you and my family.... you have a point but your audience cannot be expected to understand .... life just aint fair and my philosophy is in life is to SUCK IT UP........ but I do love you
juz luv im no end!!! may seem like a vast sum BUT...imagine how much SONY made out of george!....and the contract was signed as a vulnerable 18 yo...contracts should have re negoiation clauses in them..
He got paid 11 million pounds! If it was me, I'd be happy with it cuz I'd give my left leg for a QUARTER of that! LOL Maybe I don't understand where George is coming from. It just doesn't make sense to me I guess. Makes me think that if I ever sign a record contract I'm gonna have it looked over up and down by a lawyer! LOL
He did get it looked over by a top lawyer, but they will still screw you over if they can get away with it. All record companies are the same. Most people will sign anything just to get a leg up on the ladder, George did this with Innervision when he was very young. Prince had the same problems and went around with 'slave' written on his face for a while.
Unfortunately, Prince inadvertently turned what was a very serious problem in the music industry into a joke by his bizarre behavior with the "slave" on his face and all that. The music industry made Prince their scapegoat & caused them to shift the energy of the debate from them to the artists themselves.
@jezzyby47 well stated. Sony is notorious for subversive tactics its artists. google 'Satanism in the \music Industry' -it will give u an eye opener about the entertainment world.
@GoOlleg Whatever. Money doesn't mean too much to me. Well maybe a little. LOL But I think all of us, especially Americans, have that "issue". And you don't have to be beautiful to get it. Look at Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. LOL!!!
@tall32guy dude go for it!!! Try to get a record deal even if u get at least 1000000 wouldnt that be great? and i mean that's probably the least you could get. I'm looking for a record deal myself
I like the fact you appreciate his hat. There's not enough hat appreciation going on these days if you ask me...although, er, you didn't ask me, so I will quietly slip behind my giant Macys carrier bag.
OMG, there aren't enough thankyou's i can give you for uploading this, . . . bless you jezzy, . . . this was the day i met beautiful George, i once had this on VHS video, but lost it about 4 years ago, . . . this is just so thrilling to see once again, LadySats, x
£11 million helped him pay for this interview.
