In order to match with American Idol you cant just be a run of the mill vocal singer. You have to actually know how to sing/perform. None of these sites will ever compete if people are just purely singing verbatim from a song trying to mimic the actual performer.

What a waste of PR dollars. And, yes, they are the folks that brought you "astroturf" organizations and Bush war propaganda. They make Edelman, the PR firm embroiled in the Walmart "flogs", look like choir boys. H&K will be clueless on how to do PR for MusicNation. What a waste of PR dollars.
