Young Perth popette Samantha Jade made headlines in the US recently when she almost stole Britney Spears thunder.
Apparently Britney kept crews waiting 12 hours to shoot the film clip for her new single “Pieces of Me.” Britney’s frustrated label Jive then offered the shoot to her stablemate Samantha. But apparently when Britney arrived Jive withdrew their offer, but the story gave Samantha some much-needed US publicity.
“It’s hard when you’ve got so many big artists on the same label,” Samantha admitted to The Sunday Telegraph. “You always feel like you’re getting pushed back a little bit, so it was nice to have an opportunity to do another video.
“I’m just very excited that I’m getting some press out there.”
But will anyone remember the story when Samantha releases her debut album early next year? Somehow I don’t think so.
