Badbunnyr,
I would disagree with your statement that record companies read reviews off a google search to determine whether they will continue to support an artist. I think that most record companies don't give 2 cents what anyone says. They only look at the bottom line. If the artist makes them money, the record company is happy. I have lost faith in most main stream record companies. They spend way too much money on promoting/advertising good looking pop artists with sub par talent. Who the hell in their right mind would give Paris Hilton a record deal and she has horse face on top of that. In the end it is all about money, not promoting talented/creative artists. My 2 cents.
