Stars get dropped from first record deal

The biggest stars today have almost all been dropped by their record label on their first record contract, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and Katy Perry.  Katie Perry even had a gospel album under her real name Katie Hudson.  Becoming a star is a LONG road.  People that make it are the ones that try the hardest and the longest, talent is not the most important thing.  SYK's take: the only way to get famous quick is American Idol.  But look at that, now the winners of that show are not guaranteed stardom anymore.
