It’s crazy how in the movie her character was struggling to show her real self Because she had to keep a certain image and that’s exactly what happened in real life🤭

[@space935]

Shit is so twisted, how Hollywood shows these movies with life lessons but they discriminate the most!!

[@oculusdexterx6249]

Yeah thats how it is with most entertainers. It’s a business at the end of the day. These record labels, studios whatever most of them only care about money. Not art If you want to do your own thing you’ll have to be independent put out your stuff on your own. On your own time and money. Not on someone else’s. If it’s seen that you have a huge following/ fans/supporters then major labels will sign you as you are and tell you to keep doing what you’re doing because you have the fan base. What you’re doing is marketable there’s proof. If you had a record label making millions of dollars and you know people who look, sing, dance and dress a certain way that gets a lot of attention which brings in millions of dollars. Sex sells unfortunately. And that’s what the industry goes for. So Then you sign an artist who you discovered from a movie who looks and sings exactly the way that gets a lot of attention who in your eyes can sell sex basically but first they need to dress and dance in away that has always brought a lot of attention/money to your record label but the artist you brought into your million dollar record label wants to do her own thing on your dime. Wants to do whatever she wants, sing however she want, dress and dance however she wants to dance and dress. Are you going to take a gamble and spend a lot of money on this new artist who wants to do whatever she wants not knowing whether it’s going to make you money? Knowing you can possibly loose a lot of money letting your new artist do whatever she/he wants. People don’t think about the business aspects of it. A record label or studio you sign to are paying you close to millions of dollars at this point a lot of them are going to think they own you because of how much they are spending on you. You’re basically a product Especially if you sign a contract that gives them a lot of power over you and your music. And if they are able to have sex with you mean that you’re willing to do anything they want you to do. Sex in the industry is more about power and control

[@oculusdexterx6249]

@Estela Lopez lol uhhh Taylor swift was recently was in twitter complaining about the fact that scooter Braun owns the rights to her music. Which is how it is with most artists who sign on to record labels. Meaning they can do whatever they want with your music and get paid for it. If they decide to use your song for a commercial they will get paid for it not you. All you get is a small percentage of your record sales. Billie eilish is good she started off independent build a following through KZbin and various forms of streaming services she had a huge supportive fan base already before she signed with a record label. So she’s able to be herself dress however she wants to dress, sing however she wants to sing, write her own songs, use her own producer, and record at her home. She already proved whatever she’s doing sells. So yeah she’s going to be happy.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

I love Let It Shine, it's one of the BEST DCOMS to come out of the 2010s (along with Lemonade Mouth), but I didn't mind the fact that it didn't get a sequel. However, u know what I was and still am disappointed that didn't come out of it? A concert tour. Seriously, the soundtrack was SO GOOD, they could've easily performed the songs on tour as an extension of the movie's success. I mean the High School Musical cast got to do that, the Camp Rock cast got to do that, and the Cheetah Girls got to become a real-life group, so y couldn't the cast of Let It Shine do a concert tour? That would've been COOL. Lemonade Mouth never got to do that either, and neither did they get a sequel. It's disappointing cause both of these movies are objectively better and more mature than HSM and Camp Rock, but neither movie's success was capitalized on.

[@Ourhearts123]

@@musiclover_kb4913 omg I say the same thing! especially about lemonade mouth and its maturity. honestly, I believe its because Disney decided to cater their movies/shows more towards the younger audience which is so crazy to me because in the past disney channel was a bit more mature and then they started making things for younger kids and then they went back to the maturity with Let It Shine and Lemonade Mouth but seemed to not want to continue on. I remember I read somewhere Lemonaed Mouth 2 didn't happen because the writers couldn't come up with a plot, but I feel like there's more to it.
