Am doing a Kickstarter for Alice Fredenham who was on Britains Got Talent 2 years ago. She had 22,000,000 YouTube views and is a lovely girl. The panel loved her bigtime but then she got all sorts of complete nonsense written about her in the press saying she was a "plant" etc and "fake" etc before the semi finals. I know this was rubbish as she was my part time admin assistant till about 3 months before the show. i didnt even know she was going on. Have done well $21,000 approx in 12 days (lots of American support, which is lovely) but you do learn a thing or too.
There are some strange fans out there who get really obsessive!!! and then feel the need to keep sending emails and once you are engaged with them, cripes it never stops!!
The other thing is you onstantly have to be "at it" . For artists who go down these routes, its definitely not for the faint hearted, people get upset and withdraw pledges if you arent in their "liking" every post etc.
Phew--to all artists doing these routes, if you get your funding then unless its good luck or you are a huge name , its hard going!!!
She isnt Prog, but she is pretty lovely and she sang "My Funny Valentine"
here is her performance and campaign
