Adrienne Bailon admits that L.A. Reid signs artists without even knowing if they can SING!
One of Def Jams latest signings Adrienne Bailon has opened up to Honey Magazine about her upcoming debut solo album and deal with Def Jam, admitting that label head L.A. Reid signed her without a proper audition.
She then went on to talk about a mix-up that happened when she finally got into the studio, revealing that she was given the wrong tracks to record because the label assumed she couldn't sing."It's crazy because with everything I've done in the past people will doubt 'can she sing?'" reveals Adrienne "And even A&R people that were working at the label went into the studio and picked songs that they thought would fit me vocally, and then I got in there and they were like 'Wait a second...' and they went back to L.A. and said 'You didn't tell us she could sing' and he said 'I didn't really care if she could or not, I thought she was a star.'"
"That was huge to me" continued Bailon "because if you really think about it it's not the singing business, it's the entertainment business."The former Cheetah Girl then revealed that her album will drop in the fall, with the lead single being released in the Summer. She will also have her own reality show with MTV which will follow her as she records her own album and breaks out from her Disney child star persona into a woman.
PHOTOS! Here are those pictures of Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon. But who is Adrienne Bailon? And with the photo scandal hitting Cheetah Girls, why yet again another Disney star?
Bailon appeared in a minor role in the film “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.”
So what did Bailon want to do as a girl before … she found the wonders of using a laptop?
She wanted to be a obstetrician, she told the Daily News in July this year.
In an article called “Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon is on a fast career track”, Bailon was described as a hot new Disney property, starting as a movie for its cable channel, then CDs, then a c oncert tour. Bailon filmed in India here most recent film “The Cheetah Girls One World” Her description of herself for the film was reportedly the following: “It was a dream come true,”
Bailon says. “We’re such adventurous girls in real life.” Does Bailon’s whole saga u nfolding since Sunday seems all too ironic? She’s engaged to the brother of Kim Kardashian who herself successful channeled her own notoriety with Ray J into a reality tv show following the end of the Simple Life on E! And what about that laptop?
Adrienne Bailon this October reported the robbery of her laptop that led to this latest scandal. In fact, it was Kim Kardashian one year ago this month on November 8, 2007 who also reported a robbery of her laptop from the same airport. While Kardashian claimed the robbery as true, the New York Post reportedly questioned otherwise.
Semi-Nak*d Pics of Cheetah Girl Stolen
Hear what she told momlogic about being a good role model.
Adrienne Bailon reportedly took the racy photos as a gift for her boyfriend Robert Kardashian ... but then her laptop was stolen, and the pics landed on the web faster than you can say Cheetah-Licious.
TMZ reports Bailon was at JFK airport in late October and noticed her laptop computer was missing from her luggage cart. She filed a report with the NY Port Authority -- but later that day her record label received an anonymous phone call from a man saying he had her laptop and would return it for $1000.
A meeting was set up at JFK with the anonymous man, where he was given the money and in turn gave up Bailon's missing laptop. But several semi-nud* photos of Bailon were missing.
"The photos that have surfaced of Adrienne Bailon were stolen from her laptop over a week ago at an airport in NY and sent to several media outlets," Adrienne's representative Jonathan Jaxson said. "These photos were taken in private. Adrienne will be pursuing legal action against the person or persons sending these private photos out. Adrienne is deeply sorry for any pain this may have caused to her fans."
Adrienne Bailon joins a long line of Disney stars such as Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus who have had racy photos leak on the web. If your kids happen to see the pics online, what do you say? Rosanne Tobey, L.P.C. says it's key to help kids distinguish between the character and the real person. "Put her actions in context," Tobey says. "Point out that she obviously made a mistake. She didn't have maturity to make the right choice. Kids need to know that although her character is a role model, she is not." In other words, Bailon is a real person and real people, unlike heroes, are not perfect.
You could also use this as a teachable moment about the dangers of taking racy digital photos or posting questionable pics on the 'net, says Tobey.
By the time your private business has gone public, you can't take it away. "I think this is a perfect example parents can use to illustrate why NOT to take or post pics you don't want the entire world to see," Rosanne says. "Even though you think the pics will never get out, there's no guarantee. All it takes is one click of a button. And once it's out there, it's essentially impossible to get it back."
Kids must understand the permanence of the actions they take. "Teens tend to be so savvy, yet they sometimes have a hard time realizing the reach that the web might have," Rosanne says. "If a racy pic is up somewhere with your name attached, and a future employer Googles you and finds it, it can really come back to haunt you."
Even if you trust your teen, they can still make bad decisions. "Talk to your kids about this, even if you think they'd never do something like this in a million years," says Rosanne. "It's not so much that your teen's not trustworthy -- this is just typical behavior of their age."
In light of these new pics, is Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon still kid-friendly?
