I just found out from reading the Sunday Telegraph in Sydney that BMG have signed both the winner and runner up to a five record deal contract worth $1 million each. Of course both Shannon and Guy will essentially be in debt to BMG until this is paid off. But it's not like they are personally in debt, ie. if BMG dumps them after 1 record (which there is a clause in the contract that they can do that) it doesn't mean Guy or Shannon have to sell all their assets to pay them back $1 million. Know what I mean. The media just love to sensationalise things. The heading was along the lines of congratulations you've just won a debt of $1 million. LOL. I think this is fantastic news for all of us. Because regardless of who wins the title on Wednesday both of them esentially win first prize. And both Shannon and Guy will be able to really enjoy themselves on Wednesday without too much disappointment for the runner up.
It also says that that Scandulus and Bardot both said that unless Shannon and Guy write their own material they will not be able to earn a living here in Australia, especially carrying the debt that they have to start out on.
Seems a bit pointless voting now doesn't it???

Both signed Up?
If that is the case who is joke on then? the voters of course. Thank you says channel 10, Telstra and every other organisation getting a cut of the profit from all the phone calls.
Guy and shannon express their music in their own ways. Good luck to both of them.
Andy Warhol was right, we all get our 15 minutes, but some at a cost..what a cost this has been for all of us.
