Well, noone makes it with covers.  covers are a good start, but a girl band?<br/><br/>They have stuff written and tested then given to them, a label won't be sinking money into a band that's not got the potential to make it.<br/><br/>That being said, a cover to get a single out, is good, and would get them buzz, but would have to be followed with something to break into the top 40, and at least 2 or 3 other tested singles.<br/><br/>After all the label needs to sell tickets, merchandise, and albums to recoup the money layed out already, and to pay the talent.<br/><br/>I don't want to step on anyone's toes or anything, but this is how I see things.<br/><br/>They've got the Cover, they've also got a marketed and tested album in the works (out in the next 6 months), from that album they've got 2 or 3 singles set for release as well, with B-sides, and videos.  They've also got a set closer, more than likely a cover of some genre appropriate band.  Just for example, when I saw Avril Lavigne many years ago, she closed the concert with a cover of Green Day's 'Basket Case'.<br/><br/>While not big enough to be a main act, with their I-tunes sales, radio play, and single sales, they've likely got enough material to do a 30-45 minute set, and to play an encore with the main act.<br/><br/>Wow that was long, sounded a little ranty, but that's just how I see it.
