Labels Are Looking To Sign Whitney Houston's Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown To A Record Deal

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown

Record companies seek to sign Whitney Houston's daughter to a lucrative record deal. They are hoping to recreate Houston's stellar success through her daughter, which is way too much pressure to put on the 18-year-old, who is still grieving her mother's sudden passing last month. Brown can sing and dance. Informal clips surfaced of her singing, as well as a few recordings she did with her mother.

Bobbi Kristina Brown

Under U.S. law, Brown is of age and can make her own decisions, but grandmother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, who obtained a record deal for her late daughter may object. She will be reluctant to allow Bobbi Kristina, the only part left of Whitney, her only daughter, to fall into the same industry trap that proved so detrimental and destructive to her child. Brown is also struggling with substance abuse issues and placing her in the heart of Hollywood would spell trouble.

Justin Bieber's Label And Minders Order Him To Sex Up His Music And Image

But Will It Backfire

Justin Bieber

Pop star Justin Bieber is about to turn 18-years-old next month, making him an adult. The prankster prone young singer, is also at a crossroads in his music career. According to an impeccable source, the subsidiary label and major record company he records for, want him to sex up his music and image for the release of his sophomore album, which is make or break in the music industry.

They are pushing his image and music in a very grown up and sexual manner, which could spectacularly backfire. A good chunk of Bieber's audience are still well underage and their parents will not welcome such a overtly sexual look and sound into their homes.

They are attempting to toughen and sexualize Bieber, in the manner they did his mentor, singer Usher, who is fully behind the move, having gone through it himself. However, Usher is having a case of selective amnesia regarding the problems and addictions that sprang from his label deciding to turn him into a sex symbol. He became a sex addict with drug issues.

Yesterday, the Judiciary Report went over Whitney Houston's finances based on facts that have been present throughout her career, as part of public record and other items that are known industry rates, percentages and standards. With all her expenditures, Houston should not have died broke or had financial troubles, as was stated in the last weeks of her life.

When you have a hit album out the gate, as Houston did with her debut, you are in a greater position to negotiate a higher royalty rate, which is the accepted standard. Houston had one of the better royalty rates in music regarding album sales. Houston's videos were also not very expensive. Therefore, she would not be stuck with massive costs to recoup per project, such as those that would apply to an artist such as Michael Jackson, who loved big music video productions that cost millions per shoots. Houston had many concert videos, simple in-studio shoots and others that were outdoors, costing far less than big budget CGI videos favored by stars such as Jackson.

Michael Jackson, another Sony star, died in 2009 from a pharmaceutical drug overdose, for which Dr. Conrad Murray was sent to jail. However, Houston's reported heavy alcohol drinking, which pharmaceutical companies warn against when taking their products, may be a technicality that gets doctors off the hook that prescribed her the meds found in her hotel suite.

Her marketing costs were not above average, as Houston's music often sold itself. Her recording cost were above average, as she had the best producers and travel accommodations. However, not to the point that she made very little in profit. Well, not until her last album "I Look To You" which did not sell particularly well. However, that is not enough to negate the massive profits she generated for Sony Music, who made over $1 billion dollars off Houston during her 25-years, based on the number of records she sold in her career. Her royalty rate should have approached 20% with continued negotiations throughout her career.

Houston launched multiple tours that were very successful and when you are an artist of her status based on sales, you can make $1,000,000 per night on stage at the height of your fame. Tours are a major source of income for artists, as it is more cut and dry that the complexities of album sales, where they nickel and dime you on everything.

Houston's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown will get the bulk of the late singer's estate

Her film career was quite successful as both an actress and producer. She had endorsement deals with companies like AT&T (Remember the "True Voice" ads). Even with her spending habits, that save for roughly $10,000,000 in drugs, she should not have been broke. Her homes were not that expensive compared to other stars, who generated far less revenue, but are still in their properties, when Houston lost two of hers.

Early in her career Houston bought a home in New Jersey, then the surrounding parcels. Her homes in Atlanta and Miami were not that expensive by industry standards. She'd sold the Los Angeles property years prior. She was not like Elizabeth Taylor in the jewelry department. Designers were always giving her clothes. By all accounts she had a few cars. Therefore, being on the brink of bankruptcy should not have entered the picture.

Then, there's the bank interest Houston's level of wealth would have generated. She should have been able to live off the interest alone. For Houston to be broke means tens of millions of dollars are missing from her earnings. When one is struggling with addiction, it is easy to miss such a fact. I do not think Sony gave Houston all that she was due.

The Judiciary Report is also of the belief somewhere on a management and accounting level, Houston was being robbed as well. It's time to call in some independent lawyers and a forensic accounting firm, all on a reasonable set fee, to go over what happened to her fortune, because something is not right. And make no mistake, she was having money problems, as her homes were being foreclosed on.

Record Companies Preparing Justin Bieber Clones For 2012

Justin Bieber

Record labels are busy preparing clones of teen singer, Justin Bieber, who had another big year in 2011. They are hoping to capitalize on his success, by releasing artists that use his model in pop music and are very similar to him. Bieber is scheduled to hit 18 next year, a critical time for teen stars, which record labels have interpreted as a open door in the market to bring in younger talent to replicate what he did in pop culture.

It's the same way many in the music industry believed Bieber to be the new Justin Timberlake, who has all but fallen off, with flopped films and no new material in a long time. Timberlake expressed his resentment of Bieber this year with a mean jab on "Saturday Night Live."
