Former American Idol Contestant winner AKA Just Sam (Samatha Diaz) is back on the street in NYC singing for money!

WTF. How is this even possible? American Idol people tour together all the time and she cant get on that gig? how bout commercials? just being a winner should have gotten her a million or 2 in endorcements and gigs. Its something behind the deal with this cause on face value this cant be all there is. Hell you got people who got cut before the voting making a living doing background work just cause they made the top 24
 
Something don't add up, then why the hell is she on the street singing for money like she's homeless.

Because record companies don't give you $250, 000. They loan it to you to cover recording costs and living expenses while you make the album. Once the album gets released they keep your portion of the profits until it is all paid back.

In her case the album never even came out. So now she's in the same position as a student who took out a medical school loan but got expelled before they could get their degree.

The studios, musicians, producers, manager, attorney, and everyone else on the team got paid free and clear off that money. Meanwhile she can't even work in the industry until her contract expires.

I'm a little surprised they didn't send somebody over to snatch the money out of her shoe box.
 
She should audition to replace Sid from the Internet:idea:
She presents like a butch lesbian with a beautiful pop artist vocal. That's gotta be tough to market even with young folks flipping genders and pronouns weekly.
 
1 of my boys who was in the movie biz use to play drums/ buckets on the train as a side hustle.. nig would make 200 or better in 3 hrs worth of playing tax free.. don’t let people fool you there’s money in the ny train circuit if you perform at the right locations.

Have you ever ran into her yet singing in NY train station?
 
When you win American Idol aren't you automatically signed to a record contract. Her life should be ascending, not the other way around. How does this even happen.
Same thing I was thinking. The hell happened?

It is not what you know or what you can do, it is who you know.

According to what white people wrote about Jesus, the blackness he showed meant nothing in satan's world. Same today.
 
She blew 250k in 2 yrs??? On what??
She coulda went and got a reg job in the mean time to hold herself down
the way that it actually works is.........you get $125k up front................then another $125k when you finish the album.
They will give you a $300k advance on the album, but you have to pay back the advance, as well as 50% of marketing costs,....and also pay for managers and lawyers.
A mufucka can actually be broke by the time a dollar is being put in their hands and don't even know it.
So if she never completed an album.....thats $125k she didnt receive......as well as have to pay back any advance she was given.
Which explains why her ass is back singing on the train. She's probably in debt from simply winning the contest......and that is really fucked up.

That's foul, and also there's gotta be other former winner contestants that went through the same thing.
