I would expect that the majority of his first commercial release will be original music aka...Bubble Gum Pop for his demographic... with 1-2 covers thrown in.

If they had gone the traditional route, they would have had to play a lot of crappy gigs that nobody watches, be their own roadie, sleep in a van, eat mcdonalds, and live on the road for a few years. no matter which route you take, your first contract always sucks, too.

My prediction: she will let him do it. For a fee...which the producers will pay, then take out of David's cut. Imagine that.

You guys are confusing arrangements with covers.
If someone else performed it and recorded it first and then you sing it, even if you change it around and "make it your own" it is still a cover. You are covering what someone else has done. If you take a song and change keys and move bits around, maybe a new intro, different tempo or whatever, you are doing a different arrangement of a song, but it is still a cover. The confusion may come from the term 'cover band' which usually means a band in a bar that plays familiar songs and tries to sound as much like the original as their synths and tape loops will allow.

My beef with AI is simple.
While some of these folks can sing (and in various styles), I can't help but wonder: "Where's the songcraft?" "Where's the lyricist?" "Where's a band putting disparate or interesting elements together?" Simon Cowell would've sneered at Bob Dylan, if Dylan was an up-and-coming nobody.

Moron, the straight dope is misleading. It doesnt even break down what the license will cost, per CD.
If owning the rights to music wasnt so valuable, Paul, yoko, George and Ringo would not have tried to fight so hard with Michael Jackson to maintain those rights. Do more research before you google a few terms here and there and pretend to know about music. or law. or pop culture.
