Don't judge the entirity of recording contracts by a TV show designed to rob people of their money and people of their rights as artists (Not that they're artists at all).
American Idol's sole purpose is to manufacture puppeted acts, simply to rob people of their money. They whole POINT is that these people want fame enough that they'll accept being puppets.
It's not the way the industry works in general. Radiohead prove that if the label knows you'll shift units, they'll let you do what you want.
