You mean that wasn't really her singing? -- nm - Stephen Apr 23, 14:14

1000 CD's for charity? Methinks the haters are overreacting just a bit -- nm - Beaker Apr 23, 13:56
I hope that when I become a big famous writer that people don't say, oh well, he's sold about 300 copies of his books before. That doesn't count. -- nm - Qale Apr 23, 13:56 3
- Just don't say you haven't had any training or ever written anything before. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 23, 13:57 2
  - Considering all three were self-published, I'm alright there. I actually can re-sell the rights to all three to a big name if I wanted. -- nm - Qale Apr 23, 14:01
  - She never pretended to be untrained. Most of the contestants have trained for years. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 13:57
that's not against the rules. A lot of AI contestants have CDs. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 13:55 10
- I'm not saying it is. I'm saying the pretense is false. She's recorded a single. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 23, 13:56 9
  - It's not exactly a single. It's a song on a school charity CD. -- nm - Ender Apr 23, 14:08
  - what pretense? -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 13:57 7
    - Yeah, I thought the only pretense for shows like that was "Isn't famous enough to consider the show beneath them" -- nm - Subversive Apr 23, 13:59 6

        and looking at it again, I'm certain it's not R-2. -- nm - Reagen Apr 23, 14:10
        
        I love the idea of an older house, but that part always scares me. - Subversive Apr 23, 14:04
      - the rule is that they cannot be professional. -- nm - loosilu Apr 23, 14:00 2
        
        My definition of professional is "earns the majority of their living by doing it" - Subversive Apr 23, 14:02 1
        
        Yeah, I don't know what definition they use but it must be similar to that. It would be impossible to find contestants who had never been paid - loosilu Apr 23, 14:03
ssssshhhhhhhh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 23, 13:54
