That's why with the recent news of Vanessa-Mae's contract with EMI has ceased, I'm willing to give it another chance.
Yes, I'm with you, I hope the next label will do a better job.
Rijko, I found a HK webpage in Chinese today. In the press conference, she denied having any romantic affair with Prince William and when asked if the next classical album would STILL be under EMI, she didn't rule out the possibility of working with a new label.
Btw, another source says that EMI's structural and management changes last year is an obstacle to a renewal of their contract.
I posted the following already in another topic as reply to Glenn, but I feel that it actually belongs here. So here it is once more:

As for changing record company. I think that it might be the best for Vanessa-Mae to stay with EMI. Vanessa-Mae can record pop or classical or whatever she wants, whenever she wants it, at EMI. What new company would provide her with the same, without the rights on moneymakers as the Violin Player and The Classical Album 1. These albums were by no doubt Vanessa-Mae's best commercial successes, and these sales might still be better than the sales of her more recent albums. At least that is my impression; maybe I am wrong!!
A new record company would have to take a risk in giving Vanessa-Mae the same facilities.
OK, EMI music has given her a bad support in many aspects, but still they also gave her much freedom. Morover, they have the commercial rights on all her material so far.
Also, EMI has the rights on the vanessa-mae.com domain. Are they willing to sell it to another company or to Vanessa-Mae herself f she is leaving EMI. If yes, to what price?
My guess is that Vanessa-Mae will renew her contract with EMI
