Her first artist signed is the Justin Bieber boy that sang Paparazzi on the piano.
I gotta admit that I found this funny, coz she doesn't know a thing about the music industry. :toofunny2:

Itsuky 5/26/2010, 12:32 AM I love Ellen but...really? :toofunny2:

Exactly.

Celestial 5/26/2010, 5:18 AM Obviously being a Judge on American Idol has gone to her head :duck:
greenoz 5/26/2010, 5:21 AM She's inspired maybe from being host of AI and inviting singers from YT at her show. LMAO.
SourCandies 5/26/2010, 8:02 AM really? I like Ellen show but why??
:ahh: :ahh: :ahh:

Ahh well, she has the money for it, What has she else to do with it? Build a pretpark called ''Everland.''
:ahh:
Good luck Ellen :) I Love Her.
I think she made a good choice signing Grayson Chance and I hear that he will be steered by managers Troy Carter( Lady Gaga) & Guy Oseary ( Madonna) sounds promising
GaGaFan 5/26/2010, 9:00 AM Well, I really don't know why she is doing this. But thankfully she is giving him a record deal...he really deserves it.

:ahh:
THIS.....
Bad Wolf 5/26/2010, 9:14 AM Who says Ellen doesn't know anything about music? She was the first to have Charice on her show before Oprah even did. She always brings on musicians that she really loves and believes in...I enjoy Ellen's taste of music and I actually believe that she does know a thing or two!
Renagade 5/26/2010, 10:23 AM I love Ellen but...really? :toofunny2:
And that boy signed with Interscope Records.
It's a joint deal between Ellen's record company and Interscope.
And I disagree with what a few people said... Ellen has an ear for music. She might not know everything that goes into the business, but she knows good music when she hears it. I think this could be a good thing. I'm not expecting one-of-a-kind artists coming from her record label, but we'll see.

:clap3: :clap3: :clap3:
She totally does, she always has the newest artists on her show before you see them anywhere else!!!
GaGaFan 5/26/2010, 10:34 AM ^ I think that if this kid she just signed is any indication, then she can find a lot of other new talent as well!!
Qwerty 5/26/2010, 10:38 AM Her first artist signed is the Justin Bieber boy that sang Paparazzi on the piano.
:darh: :darh2: :darh3: :darh4:
BeyonceStan 5/26/2010, 10:40 AM In someways this is good idea. I wish Ellen the best of luck!

Exactly. I don't know why people are acting like she doesn't know a thing about music.
Why else would Idol pick her as a judge if she didn't know a single thing about music?
Crazytowel 5/26/2010, 10:59 AM Well she could plug her artists on AI and her own show so it may actually work :p And I doubt she'd go into it blind without taking advice and sharing others know-how.
Angelo 5/26/2010, 11:15 AM She can sign Hilary Duff :)
Celestial 5/26/2010, 11:23 AM Exactly. I don't know why people are acting like she doesn't know a thing about music.

Idol chose her as a judge because they thought she would be good for the ratings, they could have picked several other people who would have been more qualified for the role, but when it comes to judging slots on a high profile show they are more interested in the profile of the Celebrity rather than their credentials. I'm not saying she doesn't know a thing or two about music, she has her opinions. Also, if you are really going to use Idol as an example, clearly the show doesn't know much about music when the majority of the winners are irrelevant has-beens within a year.
Razorblade 5/26/2010, 11:27 AM Hope she won't take Ciara and Breezy ;)

She might have an ear for music and everything, but how much of an experience would Idol give her to go on that business? It's not just about having good musicians and singers signed to your record label, you have to really know everything that goes on behind the curtains. How could she manage the WHOLE process of making an album, promoting, releasing singles and everything that's part of label's job? Having the artist singing the singles on her show won't be enough to get big hits and get platinum albums.

!!! People think they know, but they don't. You don't know her personally, you only know what you are given to see.
And why are people act like ELLEN is the one that will be doing everything? Artists buy out NBA teams, but does that mean they couch them? Jay-Z is the head of Def Jam, but he's not releasing artist's singles, promoting them, etc. That's why you hire people who are skilled in doing the job. The head of a label doesn't do every little process of a singer's career.
^And Esmée is really SMASHING, right?
^And Esmée is really SMASHING, right?
What does Esmée have to do with this? :huh:
To build on what Rico said, Justin Timberlake doesn't directly "control" Esmée. He couldn't. Esmée's home market is the Netherlands and Timberlake has close to no knowledge of that market. There are obviously other people involved who do a lot of work.

She's signed to Justin's label. Outta Here took AGES to get an adds date and when it did, it flopped really bad. Love Dealer only got like 4 adds on its adds date..
