Dropped In '07

Paris Hilton pariscut.jpg Need any more proof that 2007 was a terrible year for the music industry? Look no further than the list of major-label artists who got dropped from their deals last year!

Hollywood Insider just put out a compendium of everyone who got kicked to the curb last year.

Some of the names are, of course, not surprising. Ruben Studdard and Liz Phair, for instance, may have their fans, but unfortunately there just don't seem to be enough of them to justify the majors keeping them on the roster - especially when you consider the cost involved in the labels' efforts to push them to wider audiences. It's a shame, too - they're both damn good musicians!

Others are significantly more puzzling. Take Christina Milian, for instance, whose 2006 album So Amazin' simply didn't get the reception it deserved - meaning audiences got cheated out of a slick little gem of a pop album! Or what about Amerie? Her last album, Because I Love It, didn't even come out in America despite receiving some serious love from critics and sporting a couple of singles (particularly the Cee-Lo-produced "Take Control") which could have dominated radio if given a chance!

But the name we find most surprising - even after all these months - is probably Paris Hilton's, dropped by Warner Brothers in June. Sure, sales of her album trailed off after a few weeks, but don't forget how many units she moved before then! And let's not forget the surprising success of "Stars Are Blind" - even the haters have to admit that that song was catchier than Ebola!

Oh well - if all else fails, there's always American Idol!



Personally, we're saddest to see Clipse get dropped - although then again, that just gives them that much more free time to work on We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. 3!

if paris was dropped by her label than that sounds like a good year in music to me.



Posted by: 20 yrs in the music biz

the record label didnot make 1DIME from paris hilton's pile o' crap cd.

NOT A DIME.

IT WAS A TOTAL FLOP youcan find it in the cut-out bin at amoeba records in hollywood -- $2.99). THEY CAN'T GIVE IT AWAY.

the recrd labels are wising up and weeding out the weaklings. they realize that to stay alive they can no longer afford to lose money on crap like a paris hilton cd.

You have to be really dumb to drop the Clipse, they're great, and for a change do know how to make Hip Hop music. Dropping them is a shame.

dumb bitch can't perform live as everyone knows she can't sing. Wait till Repo flops as well, then you will be able to get that for $2.99 too.

Music industry is going down because there's too much favors and nepotism going on. They sign people who have connection not people who are actually good at it.



Posted by: musicisourhigh

I guess you're trying to be funny because Paris music career sucked about as much as her and you know it. But I guess anything for a post

Paris can sing??? Since when????
Anyways that outfit is cute for a younger girl like a teenager minus the heels. She's too old for that outfit and she is very shallow. She's inlove with herself just like the rest of the bimbos. L-lo, Brit, Paris.ZZZzzzzzzzz

Paris has been a relative failure at every business venture that has her name attached; all of her 'merchandise' ends up in discount bins or at discount chains.
She is going to have a hard time keeping up with the fake heiress lifestyle because endorsement deals are either drying up or paying next to nothing.



Posted by: am I asking too much?

Wasn't she dropped by her acting agency as well last year? Now if only the media coverage would drop off as well maybe SHE WILL DROP OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH



Posted by: Anonymous

it's cuz there is major INFLATION right now. bush has fucked up the economy so bad people don't have money to spend on the entertainment industry, duh.



Posted by: Anonymous

it's cuz her importance has been INFLATED in her own mind, her CD should never have been made in the first place. duh.

Mine to it advice!!!
I think that business in showbiz at it will not go...
- While she has popularity,she is necessary to enclose her money - In development of clothes,shoes and bags, not for kids and for fans...But concrete, stylish, classical clothes- real HIGH END !!! To remove fashion designers, managers to think over a competent course - how to leave on the world market, to arrange fashion parades... And I guarantee that it can make new brand Hilton which will be as LV, Chanel, etc.!!! That can continue popularity sort of HIlton's ...Will bring to it many money and respect...

the hilton name will never recover

AND_LV, you seem pretty decent for a hilton fan......
Sorry to tell you, the hilton name and respect will never be mentioned in the same sentence, parasite has seen to that.



Posted by: Annonymous

AND_LV is on the gin again...

*sad*



Posted by: ANONYMOUS

The Hilton name will never recover as long as this trampola stays in the news.

Maybe she'll get married and her last name will be FEDERLINE!

Match made in heaven.

I hate everything about this ugly, racist, holier-than-thou, stuck up BITCH!!! She's a nasty person and deserve all the suffering she can get! And that completely synthesized, robotic song only proved that she has no talent whatsoever!

so hot lady...It's said she just enjoyed hot dating with a black guy on a wonderful club of interracialsingleonline.com during Christmas Day,many hot pics are shown there. Oh,really? I may need to check ...

Oh sure amily200, must run to your site and check it out

Man, the record labels must be on some MAD opium, probably even worse than Frank Lucas made. Ok, Paris Hilton and Christina Milian's garbage, I understand. But Amerie AND Clipse, BIG mistake! Amerie's probably THE best "new" artist that could rock the charts! Hell, that girl's talented AND she's FIIIIYYYYOOOOOONEEE!!!! That's the only R&B album I ever care to buy, ok maybe a few others like Teedra Moses, Trey Songz, Mario, Anthony Hamilton, etc.

And Clipse, I kind of expected it ONLY because real Hip Hop is never allowed on the radio. The only things permited are these faggot rappers and wannabe thugs like Soulja Boi and Hurricane Piss, I mean Chris. To sum this all up, music sucks in all levels now. The music industry needs to step it up if they ever expect business from faithful music lovers, even the underground rappers too.

Oh, and big ups to Kanye and Common, who held their ground as albums of '07!

I believe Paris is a product of her small little 'yes' environment. Conditioning can have powerful effects on the intelligent. If YOU happen to be, consider the effect on the vapid. She knows no better, so how is it her fault?
Isn't anyone with a television or radio or eyes that receive advertising partly to blame as well?
Peeves me to always see everyone pointing fingers. Even if you point with 2 (like at Disney), you're still double pointing at yourself. Ah, a world where we all take responsibility for what we have done and continue to do daily. How liberating admitting fault can be.
And, remember, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all (sorry, x17, that would leave your pages pretty empty); it's likely to only fall on deaf (or dumb) ears.
Okay, now rip away!







This part is optional!
