Looking back the whole thing from June to Sep,

1. Obviously AGT/NBC gain the MOST by making use of Celine and Angelica as a battle zone which successfully draw a lot of noises and viewership for the show. Celine, her dad and her company gain recognitions and fame to a certain degree but if this momentum does not continue, in a few weeks time, no one remembers her. Without getting into the Final, Celine's nett contract value is much reduced. As well, in Hong Kong no kids are allowed to work for a pay for age of 16 or under, Celine could only take part in shows and concerts under charity.

2. Celine's team is very innocent and simple, neglecting the importance of a collaborated image-building and marketing/promotion campaign which is a must in a well-developed consumer market as the US, the campaign should start from day one intensively around the clock. Experienced American PR and promoters should be hired instead of just hiring 2 - 3 naive Hong Kong high school kids in taking care of Celine.

3. Celine's team hould insist with AGT wherever possible in order to protect Celine's overall image ie the choice of songs, her clothes for the acts, the story board of the footage before her act begins which are being "dictated" upon by AGT.

For instance, Celine's big American dream does not necessarily be tied to becoming a billionaire after she wins the title and to be followed by shopping, high tea with Dion in Hollywood. The story, rather, should be tied to doing more charity work and donations after she wins the title. Hong Kong is well known as one of the charity capitals in the world with the highest per capita of donations received annually. For that matter all worldwide charitable organizations set up offices in HK for donation purposes. As well, Celine's walking up and holding Christian's hand to walk him to the front of the stage is a common culture existed in Hong Kong. Celine's dad should insist with AGT for a more compassionate and kind-hearted story line.
