well i guess since agitato's only form of profit from the trip to brazil would have been the second party, since they offered the first for no commision, so when it was cancalled that pretty much meant they got nothing, yet michelle still made the amoutn she was originally going to by going to other premoters to get more gigs. so i guess agitato figured if she got her money they should get theirs, whether or not they should have taken it from her advance is another issue all together i suppose.
looking at the contract, it makes no mention at all about when the album will be released, so michelle really can't be too upset about it, if the label decides it needs to take the time to maximise the profit of this album (which is in her best interest anyway since she's making quite a decent royalty), so be it. this talk of getting lawyers involved and everything seems a bit over the top.
