There it is! The funny thing is I never see any geniune affection towards Blue from her mother. It's all about TRYING to distract us by making the public think there is some magical bond between mother and her daugther, it's all so Mommie Dearest. I can't stand the man but I will say Shawn's love for his little girl is very evident. She would've been better off just posting the photos of those two together. Oh and do we really need to see her twirl? |

The whole premise of the Tidull artists taking control from labels is yet another lie perputrated by Shawn. None of them are in control of their music, not even the ones who claim to own their masters. Label executives aren't fools, you best believe they were supposed to get some kind of reimbursement off the top from this mess. Problem is no one has made a red cent, lol. Edit: I'm sorry I shouldn't laugh. Edit: Nevermind...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! |

So predictable these two.
She looks so much like Jay, but there was this one pic she reminded me of a young Beyonce. For her sake I'd hope she somehow leans more to her mothers looks in later life.

And LMAo at the exec trying to use politically correct lingo to say, Jay is too poor to have a major share in Tidal.

So whats going on behind the scenes in Tidal......... ?
Tidal has always been about replicating the Beats / Apple billion dollar plan. Take a Celebrity Brand , pair it with a Tech Product and sell it for a huge profit.
It was never about being Artist Owned.That was the gimmick to draw in as many big name artist as possible. The theory?..... The more celebrities on board the more valuable the company will be when it comes time to sell
In simple terms Make it Cool.......sell it for Billions.
The artist you saw on stage were just being used for publicity after all none of them own their music. So much for Tidal being Artist owned huh? So who do you think makes the majority of the money from sales of the streaming of music of all those artist on stage. Why ....The real owners of course,[ the Labels] and lets not forget the streaming service...be it Tidal of Spotify or Rhapsody.
Make no mistake about it... this is all about big corporations and big business and big profits.
The investment group behind Tidal thought they had the ace in hole...to Billions... Making Jay Z and Beyonce the face of the company. They are after all, The Black Music Equivalent of Barack and Michelle Obama. The reigning royalty of Urban Music. Pop Culture Icons...A Mega Brand reportedly worth Billions. And they are all of these things....aren't they ??
It appears the Investment group placed the wrong bet....
They way overestimated Jay and Beys Star power. The "Brand" that is Jay and Bey is as we say in the business "Aged out"..."Past their shelf life" .....
Too Old to be Cool...........
And ......Out of touch with their Community( Market) a long time ago . This is Something that became very clear to all, at the Launching of Tidal, during the press conference ...wouldnt you agree?
In the end they turned out looking like Marie Antoinette and King Louis whom the statement "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"( let them eat cake) is attributed to, when they were told the people in their kingdom were starving so bad they didn't even have bread to eat.

Part Two: Written by Lurker
The result... Behind the scenes....what you wont read in the media just yet is the Majority Owners and Various Investors are bailing and or looking for a saftey net.
So who are these Majority Owners, whose calling the shots.
The 3 Major owners are / were ...Live Nation, Universal Music Group, and SoftBank.
Who has dropped?.....the largest Softbank.
Softbank (owner of Sprint) was going to pair Tidal with the launch of a new Hi tech Phone. Softbank an original investor in Tidal[ like Samsung was in Beats by Dre] .....has pulled all financial backing. (Samsung bailed on Beats after 12 months, but Apple came behind them and scooped up Beats and the rest as they say.....is history.)
The result of Tidal loosing Billion Dollar player Masayoshi Son of Softbank (which is worth $114 Billion) means Tidal needs cash and they have been on a mad race to get it.
The big players left.... Universal and Live Nation are trying to stave off the financial drain that is Tidal ...Parent company Aspiro sold Tidal for only 56 million for exactly that reason / unprofitable and a huge financial drain. Tidal owners recently tried to pair or join forces (Merge) with other online steaming company's like Rhapsody { Rhapsody backed out at the last minute} . At this moment they are in talks with merging with several other potentials. In my Opinion This will be their best option at this point to survive........
.((((((May i suggest Deezer they have streaming licensing deals in over 200 countries. )))))))))))))) and they are multilingual...Wink Wink, that's a freebie Jay Z, for now ....Bill ya later!
Meanwhile Jay Z is trying to lure in as many Celebrity Investors as possibly and lure as many subscribers as possible
He has an awful lot to loose , whats left of his credibility, his calling card and his bread and butter if you will...
As the the Svengali or Pied Piper with Magic access to the All Mighty Black Dollar the Largest Consumers in America, Its all hanging on by one of Beyonces Fragile Blond Hairs.
In the end guys whats going on behind the scenes is a Streaming Services War. Streaming is currently the future of Music Sales. This is a Music Industry World War. The Market is flooded with Streaming Services all of them cannot and will not survive.
The biggest will eventually buy up the smaller ones that have the most to offer. Just like Apple did... The smaller ones are scrambling to position themselves as the most valuable...
In the end some people will get very rich, some of the rich will just get richer and some people will go broke chasing their dreams and that billion dollar deal.
Ladies and Gentleman ......Place your Bets
