KZ, First, its good to be thinking and your doing that.
You've no doubt read my rants on this board about reality television as a driver for music. AI is not about music its about television. The numbers achieved in music sales have to be accounted to the enormous cost of this kind of tv exposure. All of the Disney acts that put out bad albums have massive tv exposure first, and then the tween audience is market exploited. Otherwise they would not be making records. Its the "Monkeys" all over again for the digital age, with far more forgettable songs.
Miley Cyrus is the perfect example of this. Her "Today" show performance this morning, as I was told, attracted the largest live crowd they ever had for one of these morning performances. They in fact had some kind of crowd control problem. Keep in mind that many credible star acts have also been there to less fanfare.
The question is, how is an act going to do this independently, and make it work to substantial results.
Jessica Simpson and her sister have fallen off the face of the earth because all the exposure, and production tricks in the world can't camouflage their lack of talent. The tv dollar cost to get them to their numbers? Reality show music-cost numbers, that would make most people fall off their seat if they saw them.
My two cents.
I'd love to see your idea work
