Tiffani says

Aside from the SMS-esque title, I for one thought the first solo offering from Tiffani Wood entitled What R U Waiting 4 was (though somewhat bland) not terrible. I mean not terrible in the “Australian Idol bandwagon…let’s release a single quickly before people forget who we are” sense of the word terrible.

With Popstars and Bardot both long since forgotten, Warner’s marketing department were actually going to have to do some marketing to get this one off the ground. (we all know it’s marketing that sells music right?) Warner didn’t and the only thing particularly interesting about the whole non-event was the change in the spelling of Tiffani’s name.

At any rate, unlike all the people who competed in Australian Idol, Tiffani didn’t seem to get much support from her record label.

In the end, they parted ways - a shame really as Warner Music Australia once had such a star-studded female vocal line-up with tiffani Wood, Danii Minogue, Sophie Monk and Bec Cartwright (Bec got axed a while back, not sure about the others.)

Anyway, if for some reason you’re so inclined, you can read Tiffani Wood’s reply to the record deal issue on her official site (without the frames).

Tiffani claims that Warner

Personally, were I in charge I would have canned her record deal simply for the spelling of What R U Waiting 4 but then, I can be somewhat pedantic about…such things. Besides, it was just as likely some “down with the lingo” marketing person who had decided on the spelling.
