Music Nation Contest Draws Early Fire

Because we don’t like music contests, we weren’t thrilled with the launch of Clear Channel backed Music Nation’s talent search promising a major label deal but demanding $25 to be considered.  Fellow bloggers including TechCrunch agree:

Musicnationlogo"Three global record labels, a group of music suits and the guy from DotComFailures spewing almost four months of ads written by Hill & Knowlton on ClearChannel for an online talent show with a $25 entry fee? Sounds like a recipe for a whole lot of cringing and backlash to me. Will they ever figure it out? The big guys should do the big guy thing (with integrity) and leave the grass roots efforts to the DIY crowd."
