You're talking about 5-6 figures. That's not worth the hassle?

I want to see her debate a serious topic with this guy,
The only thing he can say without any hesitation is "yes sir." I wonder where that came from :tongue3

I've been emailing every CBS email I could find and will call all the numbers that I've found up on Tuesday (after Presidents Day weekend). I should have acted sooner but I have no idea the video would go THIS VIRAL. Also spoke with my manager and we could actually get the instrumental up on iTunes within a week. It won't yield much sales but I'm sure a handful of people will buy it and then can loop something over it. I'll probably provide the A Cappella for free on YouTube.
HALF A MIL BABY!

Don't sell the instrumental. Someone else will re-do the vocals and upload it for free.

I think you should work a little of the tune "We No Speak Americano" into your remix.

Well if I sell nothing then I make nothing. I can't sell the full-length because CBS won't respond to me. At least I can make a few bucks selling the instrumental. I'll put up the full version with vocals for people to DL free. At least I'm promoting my name.

This is your chance.
I suggest exploring more avenues.

I heard a radio thing on this and I had no idea what they were talking about at the time because I didn't watch the grammy show. However, the neurologist they interviewed said that it was a severe migraine which is capable of causing this reaction. The intense pain and nausea most people associate with migraines is only one type of migraine and there are actually a lot of other things that can happen to people. A very common symptom is acting like a ing idiot and loss of motor control...I may be paraphrasing, but supposedly this happens without any warning most of the time,and can be dangerous if you're driving. But, it even sounds like a stroke because the people lucky enough to have some warning that they are about to go stupid usually know that it is about to happen because part of their body will start to go numb.

Yeah I dunno. I've seen people have strokes and worked on a stroke rehab unit. Usually they aren't as, uhhh tidy? as what happened to this chick. By tidy I just mean how she ended off talking cleanly with a smile, as if she didn't think anything of what just happened. Like, if a person is having a stroke they slur a lot more and are visibly confused/stressed out by it, and display visible anxiety over it, aren't very responsive, etc. Furthermore there is almost always some kind of noticeable one sided weakness - there's no way she'd still be standing like she was. Or maybe I haven't seen enough strokes.

She said the best estimate of what happened so far was a severe migraine.
