[OMG!] About LeToya being dropped from Capitol Records….

by COMMON on Sep.27, 2009, under GOSSIP, NEWS, OPERATION REGRET

Rumors of LeToya being dropped by her label are spreading over the internet. True or not? Well not really. Technically we could say yes but from a legal perspective, not just yet. EMI Music informally let it be known that they were no longer interested in funding LeToya’s project and as a result it is being considered to end the partnership. They are currently reviewing ways of ending the record deal in a proper manner. (LeToya was originally signed for more than 2 albums). Lawyers of both parties are still working on this case.

The thing is, they want to get rid of her but it’s their fault the album is not performing as good as hoped. There is big drama behind this situation, which explains why EMI didn’t promote the album in the first place – but we’re not sure if we can disclose it here. (In case you really wanna know. Here is a hint: It has to go with Kelly Rowland stealing budgets from LeToya’s to promote her song ”When Love Takes Over” – which is under EMI Music as well. Watch! These people will hunt her for the rest of her life…)

Anyway! The only way to make EMI/Capitol revert their decision is if “Regret” becomes a HUGE hit (meaning they see $$$ coming back in return of their investment) …. and it’s clearly on its way to become one… but LeToya needs YOU to make it happen! (thanks to you the song is now #12 in the US (Urban Radios).

How can you contribute?

1) Request Radios, TV, magazines:

- either call/text manually your local radio stations, email TV Shows. Here is a list HERE.

2) Let Capitol know that you are here to support LeToya

- Sign the official petition http://twitition.com/DTU4B and if you don’t have twitter www.petitiononline.com/ladylove . So let Capitol know what the deal is by signing these petitions.

3) Last but not least but most important: BUY the song “Regret” online (Itunes, Amazon). It’s just 99cents. If you did already, buy it from your friends/family’s iphones/zunes and give them that dollar. Most of the time they will tell you that you can keep it! So you can buy unlimited times! (Ghetto but it works!)

Thank you to every single person supporting the Operation Regret.

Hopefully LeToya will make it work with Capitol – at least for this project alone (then she can bounce). We don’t want to see such an outstanding album go to waste! right?
