Sell Albums And They Would Even Love Britney
In response to the video obtained by The Sun of Amy Winehouse smoking crack, her record label Universal had this to say. "We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems"
Of course, if Amy hadn't sold them a bazillion albums and made them truckloads full of cash, she would be getting dropped right now. However, since she does sell a crapload of albums, she gets the full support routine. She will continue to get their full support as long as she keeps showing up in the studio high or not each and every week.
Unlike film companies, record labels don't have to get insurance or a completion bond for a record. Plus since records can be done little pieces at a time, they really don't care what you do, how you do it or who you do and where just as long as your happy ass keeps recording, touring, and selling. You do those three things they will be happy and will even bring you little presents to make your life a little easier. Not that Universal would ever do such a thing. Nor am I implying it.
In case you haven't seen The Sun video, you can see it below. If it isn't working then head on over to their website and watch it there. Show it to your kids, and then tell them how the record company fully supports Amy. If she was the most incredible human on earth and didn't sell albums she would be out the door, but you can be a leech, and if you sell records, they love you. You might not want to share that last part with the kids. Just the crack house videos and what happens when you use do it yourself dye jobs that come from a bottle marked Clorox.
