I knew it was making a lot, but I'm pretty shocked at just how much money this show makes.

Mr Cowell does indeed know exactly what he is doing.

As I've posted elsewhere, this is why all the debate on here over the potential of a contestant to make money as the winning act is rather beside the point. The recording contract for the winner is just another expense line in the production budget. If the winner's releases add to the already bulging coffers, wonderful. If not, there's always next year.

Shows how capitalism can go too far and the only way to stop it is to be socialist. Simon Cowell probably has 100 times more money than our government!

Yes, he has, one way or another! Maybe not from votes, but from record sales, advertising revenue (you bought the goods), many ways in fact. Sickening isn't it?

One more reason to vote for Wagtail.. he may get my money but I want the SMUG look off his face, as sure as hell he did not find RATM very funny no matter how he tried to play it.

He laughed all the way to the bank. He shifted more of Joe's units with RATM than he would have done without it.

Plus, which label do RATM record on?
