[And Now I Wonder]

Has your fave tried to do something against their label's wishes?

Mine has.

As with Butterfly two years prior, Rainbow became the center of a conflict in between Carey and her label.

After Carey's divorce with Sony record official and Columbia CEO Tommy Mottola, the working relationship with Carey and her label deteriorated. After the first two singles from Rainbow were released, Carey was gearing up for a third single to be released.



She intended for "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" to be the next single, as it held very personal lyrical content. However, after getting wind of her plan, Sony made it clear that the album needed a more up-beat and urban track to warm airwaves.

These different opinions led to a very public feud in between them, as Carey began posting messages on her webpage during early and mid-2000, telling fans inside information on the scandal, as well as instructing them to request "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" on radio stations.

Nah! She doesn't need to, they'll do practically what she wants..

[muddysquirrel]

She said RCA to go **** themselves. And signed with an unknown indie-label.

[Underdogs]

Yes. She had to fight a lot with LA Reid to put this record out. She wrote/recorded it behind his back. She only convinced LA by threatening to quit. Only a bad bitch.

[Kiss N Tell]

I doubt MIleys label wanted her to release Can't Be Tamed
but idk

[J-esper]

don;t know, wish she would at some points

[MJ Boston]

Yup. Very publicly. And the album still went platinum off only one promoted single that went top 10

[Pauly]

No. She doesn't have to. Whatever she wants to do, Capital will follow.

Britney always have rebelled.

During In The Zone, Jive pushed Outrageous to be the lead single but Britney wanted MATM so she got it. Then Outrageous was again pushed as second single, but Britney insisted Toxic so she got it.Then again, Jive wanted Outrageous for third but Britney wanted to release a Ballad so Everytime was released. The finally! Outrageous is the fourth single! But then she injured her knee and the single was cancelled.

Talk about a major flop in Jive's initiative.

Capitol didn't want Peacock to be included on TD because of the whole IKAG controversy but knowing Katy, they had no choice but to give in to the Queen's demands.

At 15.

Yes, he tried making music that he knew wouldn't sell well and Interscope dropped him immediately, the same way they're gonna drop gaga in the future when the whole 'being different and crazy' thing becomes unmarketable

[Kaluda]

Twice so far.

[Dale]

Not really. The most she's done is organise producers and songwriters herself instead of relying on her record label on supplying them for her. She took control of her entire career from a very early stage and her record label didn't **** with her.

They were also going to call her debut album "Sunflower" & wanted the "...Baby one more time" video to be about an animated power-ranger like hero.

She also rebelled by releasing the "Mona Lisa demo PERSONALLY to a radio station. Writing "Original Doll" & directing & releasing "Do Somethin'" & "Gimme More".

And we all know she rebelled majorly against her public image 2005-onwards... Britney's rebellions are countless & unmatched.

Britney also released a demo from Mona Lisa on the radio without permission of Jive, I think that led into 'Original Doll' being cancelled by Jive, but she got pregnant afterwards anyway, so that album probably wouldn't have happened anyway.
