your only saying that cause you like guy...saying shannon is in it for the money. I never said who was in it for the money - you seem to think it's Shannon. Anyway you answered my question - coz you got all defensive & seemed to think that being in it soley for financial gain isn't very admirable.

If shannon is in it for the money, or to secure a finanical future than perhaps he's should try something else - it's not like the winner sees any immediate return.

i never said it was bad that he was in it 4 the money if you had of read properly you would of seen that i dint mean it in a bad way and stop jumping to the WRONG conclusions . 4 your information it was in the gold coast bulletin paper that his farm isnt going well and he needs the money so he can have a decent wedding and get his farm back on track since his dad died which i think is the nicest thing ive heard in a while so get real yourself you idiot i meant it in a harmless way because even though i like guy i wouldnt care at all if shannon wins vbecause he needs it. so if you thjink it is a load of bull then open your stupid eyes stop assuming things and jumping to the wrong conclusions and pick up a copy of the paper if you live up here or im sure it has been in other papers and read it for yourself and then come back and critisise people who think it is wrong that he is in it 4 money because i dont.

actually i heard that shannon was in it 4 money also but not in the paper i read it in a magazine about 2 weeks ago . i cant remember which one??? it wasnt being mean at all infact from the way they put it it would of made alot of people turn and start voting 4 shannon i think !! NO NO NO you must be living in some kind of nutshell because it is not infact bull it was said and it did shannon a favour but of course raging hyped up shannon fans like yourself would only think the worst of these comments when if you took a minute to use your tiny brain you would see that maybe our comments are meant with truth and niceness . which in deed they were . now "get real" and other shannon supporters before you go charging at me without taking a second to think look at what i have said and you will seethat i am actually being nice about the guy !!!

whats wrong "get real" you so defensive of shannon that you think it is totally false when something is written about him GROW UP LOSER shannon himself said after the big band show(i should know because i was there) that his farm was in trouble because of the drought and that he loves singing so much and needs money so he thought this is a good way of doing both . im not sure about the wedding bit but that was probably another part of it 2 and most people thought that was very nice of him . so why dont you take a look at yourself before you go insulting other people who are speaking the truth because it was said by shannon himself .
just because you want shannon to win (which i do to) it doesnt mean that people are just making it up because they like guy more . so take it . he said it and its not bull so stop posting your pathetic shit and insulting people who know the facts unlike you
vote for shannon people he needs to win and hes the best

i think yous should give 'get real' a break. They must have mis interpreted what they were trying to say you must admit the title looks like their trying to make shannon look bad saying hes in it for the money. They were probably just a dedicated shannon fan that didnt want people bagging him cause lets face it theres plenty of that in here.

actually the title doesnt look like theyre trying to make anyone bad but if you think so then thats fine!! and i had a go at em because i had a right to because they had a go at me when i wasnt meaning anything by it and as 4 all the other people then i guess they just thought the same i dunno . anyway all i have left to say is that he/she shouldnt go off when there is clearly nothing 4 them 2 go off at. but anyway i feel sorry 4 shannon if this is the case with his money

which ever one is in it for the $ has a long road ahead of 'em as Rueben pointed out - it takes while before they see any return 'coz the winner could be liable to pay back the $1 million to the record company through CD sales, publicity appearances, performances etc.
My cynical scenario (no basis in fact, very crude maths) : 60% to the production company who produced the TV show. Say 15% went to their management. Say another 15% to associated costs of CD. 5% to agencies & other artists from live performances. Leaving the winner with 5% to pay wardrobe, travel, accommodation for live appearances etc.
You'd have to have gross earnings from your first CD of maybe 5:1 pay back $1m owned from the advance.
Bit grim. But hey, I think that Kelly Clarkson chick is doing well out of it. I reckon you gotta love the musac to get the money or be one hell of a performer or have a sex appeal. Music is a weird industry, especially manufactured pop/rock.
I hope whoever wins doesn't get screwed over. All you fans better continue your support once the hype is over.

Shannon wants to make life easier for his kids. That's incredibly noble. Like Bek, I think it's inspirational to see someone so motivated by their love for their children. It's so beautiful, cosidering there are many parents out there would couldn't give a tiny rats arse about their kids.
I think, however, it is equally admirable that Guy is chasing his dream and doing the one thing he loves most. I havn't seen anyone else so genuinely passionate about this in the whole comp. He honestly loves the music, he's got the fire in his belly and every time he sings you can see it in his eyes.
Good on both of them (even though guy has stolen my heart!)
