> Pretty much every one of these deals turned into a financial disaster. The biggest of these was probably Mariah Carey, who ended up being paid $28m not to sing
I worked in the entertainment industry during this time.
Great point to remember specific to Mariah Carey was that she was originally signed by Tommy Mottola who she eventually married WHILE he was the head of the label (Columbia) & Music division. This 'business' decision had a very personal side. It was more than just a financial disaster.
