Nope..This is a guy with serious control issues.This is not about money.This is about control.He simply can't admit he is ever wrong,and if you show him exactly where he is wrong,then he resents it.He won't change it(the mistake) if somebody else showed him the mistake.He is the most naturally talented person I have ever seen.He is a natural in front of a camera,and has very good unique natural voice tone(which you must have for popular music singing.) He doesn't have great range or control,but truth is YOU don't have to have it(if your tone is really unique.)See,he can sing a song like the last one he sang(a month ago..lol) called "BED." See,he can beat almost everybody with a song like that,because it's choppy(short notes and great tone is his gold.)See,he wants to sing these other songs that have long notes.He is not good at long notes.He is more stubborn than BUSH(CUBED.)See,it's o.k. (to him) to be out of pitch in one area of a song(that doesn't suit him.)There is no way he can do that professionally.They will sign somebody who is safer(somebody who is not going to sing out of pitch at all.) He is an incredibly picky person about everything except his own pitch mistakes(which he wouldn't make if he sang songs that fit him.)So,this is part of the reason he won't sign the contract.That deep resentment he felt whenever any pitch problems were exposed.The other issue is his English.It's very good,but he always resented that I spoke (in his mind)perfect English.This is my 1st language,and his 3rd...o.k.? See how absurd he is? When we communicated it was often by me speaking on a webcam,and he would type(very rarely speak.)However,he speaks only English to his girlfriend.These are control issues.He can not tolerate ever "having to do something." So,when I told him "he had to sign" the contract he promised to sign......he could not mentally cope with that.The 2 issues I mentioned earlier(pitch problems,English problems) + me telling him "he had to" do this...well it was his breaking point.I don't think his mind would let him do whatever I was telling him he "must do." So,he started lieing to me about when he would sign.He never signed,and I don't think he can.He is that ill.See,I am about the age of his Dad(who he never has met,and is in the U.S.) and it's obvious that he hasn't really been raised yet(by his mom in Turkey).It's not like I am out money I would otherwise have.It's a very risky (small amount ) of money,and it would only bare fruit if he got signed (which actually I think would happen if he ever got out of TURKEY.)It's the lieing...This is the problem.At the moment,he is an unrepentant liar.It's not like he is close to apologizing.He is upset that I know he is a liar.Actually,I have no idea why he is upset.Probably because I wouldn't just blow off the signing of that contract.I don't know if God gives talent to f'd up people,or they get f'd up due to the gifts their talents enable them to get,but he is f'd up,and it's not like I want him to be this way.Here,you can see somethings very wrong. Look at him sing from 0:48-1:04 and 1:47-2:01 in this song.He knows this is as out of pitch as you can get.I told him that,and he knew it.So he left it up.How can any artist leave that up? That's ill.He is almost unable to accept criticism(at all.)I am not a picky person. I mean if ur 5 you know that's out of tune.How could you leave that up.That's illness.There is another song like this,but this is the one that just stands out(you would have to be ill to leave this up.)
