i think the closest thing to an "entertainment" would be a record label.

some popular labels (that i can think of off the top of my head) would be arista, atlantic, sony, BMG, island. im sure you know other large ones as well.then there are the other record labels that fall under those, or are distributed by the bigger labels: bad boy, the INC, roca-fella, maverick, etc, etc. i may have gotten the mini labels confused with the larger ones, but you get the idea. these days i am so confused as to which record companies own which labels since some of them bought each other out. you can wikipedia or google to find out which ones are which. or, just look for the record company that your favorite american artists belong to and visit their websites.

[Guest Dirtycash23]

well theirs Defjam,Columbia and the Big Four Records(EMI,SonyBMG,Universal,Warner) which is know all over the World

so I guess thats not just American um....Motown Records,and a WHOLE LOT MORE!!!....lol

Do American record labels still accept demo tapes/cds? I'm asking because I looked at some record label sites like Sony BMG and Virgin records and they don't give you details on submitting a demo. I think the Virgin site said that they don't accept any . *sigh* But I guess that sounds about right...I can think of a good number of people that got into the music scene through having connections.

I would really have to practice to try for american idol because I definitely do not want to be on tv looking like an idiot lol.

lol yeah...Jive Records is a sub-label under Sony BMG....that label has A LOT of sub-labels...it's confusing.

Try the "Big Four" record companies:

Sony BMG, EMI, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group.

You'd find much diversity in each and every one of them, mainly because they have a TON (and when I say a TON, I mean a TON) of different sub labels. You could easily find Rihanna signed with the same company as Weezer, you know?

[Guest judisz]

From what I've heard, most American labels don't just accept auditions from anyone. You have to find an agent for yourself first. When you have an agent, your agent (who has connections in the industry) can send your things into the "A&R", which stands for the Artists and Repertoire, department in the record label.

^ohhh lol! hmmm, I wonder why it's like that with american companies while in Korea and Japan you can send entertainment companies a demo yourself.
