Yes, but that's what it comes down to. It comes down to the fact that most people.... If you're a young artist, you've probably worked for a couple of years or a few years trying to get somewhere, and suddenly someone says, “You know what? I think we can make something out of this. You sign here and we'll see what we can do.”
Sometimes you get lucky, but it's not a guarantee. There's no guarantee that just because you sign a deal with somebody you're going to be a hit. There are a lot more factors involved.
