Katy makes more money being a TV judge than a movie actress. Surprised?


Recommended Posts

She’s getting 25 million per season on idol. Big actresses get paid ranging from 10-20 million per movie. Are you surprised that Katy’s slaying? Discuss.

Well I mean the Friends actors were paid a million per episode and that was 20 years ago. I guess tv pays more but it's more work too.

Too bad Katy can’t convert those views into actual sales, charts, or attendance. 

I mean most singers can't. 25 million is a lot

That $25 Million Katy got for American Idol was in exchange for the irreparable damage done to her career by being associated with such a lowbrow basic cable show. She will never be cool again, but she seems at peace with that so good for her! :gaycat5:

sales, chart or attendance would pay less than 25M/year and requires more work babes! Try again!

Thousands of people earn immense amounts of money for doing things that aren't noteworthy or of any interest.

 

Earning a lot of money doesn't mean they're solidifying their cultural status or contributing anything substantial to the world or their field of work, etc. 

 

I don't think many artists (whether they're acting, singing or doing something else) will be remembered or praised for how much money they earn (unless it's billions). They'll be remembered and praised for what they put out into the world.

For example, if I were an artist, I'd rather earn $12,000,000 as an actor (let's say, after a waning musical career) rather than $25,000,000 for being a judge on a tacky talent show (again, after a waning music career)

 

In any case, whoever you're a fan of, it's quite odd to care so much about what your 'fave' or your 'anti-fave' is earning when you won't see a penny of that in your bank account

Who needs actual sales, charts or attendance, when you can sit, talk and be on tv for 25 million per season. Some artists haven't made that much in their entire career, babes. How very kindnesspunk of you. 

 

Let's not forget she also did Vegas and certainly has enough to finance her own tour. Executive control for Katy Queen, we love to see it.

I don't know why though. She's not a relevant act anymore, can't score a hit, her albums flop and she can't sell out arenas either. It's not a drag, I just don't know how. She's still a recognizable name so it may be that. Although you also need to take into consideration that not many of her "tier" would settle for a job like that so she's the only one of her peers the producers know would want to, so without any competition and without any other names of her generation being willing to do the job the producers are left to do everything they can to keep her signed so they'll be willing to pay her this much when she asks. 

 

They need her as well since the show is not the ratings juggernaut that it used to be and there's little-to-no one from the newer MPG household names (Billie, Olivia, Sza) or the ones proceeding them (Gaga, RIhanna, Adele or Taylor) that would be willing to do it and as much as the generation before that are legends (Madonna, Mariah, Celine) most of them either don't want to because they've already done it (Mariah) or simply don't want to or will cost even more.

She's a very smart businesswoman :clap3:

 

And she's also making banks from her catalogue who is trending every other day on TikTok

Use your brain maybe? One takes much longer to shoot than the other and involves more work since it's a larger project than the other.

 

A movie take a month, sometimes a little longer to shoot. 

 

A season of a TV show takes multiple months to shoot and a lot more work considering it's multiple episodes and not just 1 final project being made. Lot more moving parts.

 

Not to mention Katy signed her deal for that back when she was relevant and could command a high salary like that.

 

She can't get a raise now though and left, they must not have wanted to be paying her that anymore since she isn't relevant enough to justify it.

Katy was being dragged by that fanbase for being on idol and getting paid 25M per season only to her fav getting paid much less for an entire $200M budget movie. :toofunny3:

Well, these things would certainly be important factors if someone wants to continue touring late into their career. Particularly if you're not known for being an incredible performer or having a great voice.

 

I wouldn't sacrifice any of my hard earned $25,000,000 to finance tours that are likely to have ever-dwindling crowds. 

 

What Hudson needed to do years ago was build upon her legacy as an artist. Perhaps she might try to do that next. Who knows, maybe things will turn around for her in the near future. Otherwise, she'll remain as she is now: fabulous for a throwback.

 

She might have a hit song or two left in her, but she'll definitely struggle to be heard.

A literal comparison of each lady’s respective career state. Reminder that money can’t buy happiness, talent, respect, or a legacy :cm:
