Dump her--she's the one that is breaching the contract with her behavior.

That's the problem with so many people, ego, laziness and a sense of entitlement. Once they get a contract in hand they think they've got success nailed, so they stop acting hungry and start trying to be a 'star'... whatever that means.

Successful people want MUCH more than fame or money. They are driven to succeed for reasons that often can never be satisfied by 'atta-boys' and cash.
I totally agree with your last paragraph. Much more than fame or money.
I have explained this to her many times. I've shown her around my modest setup and explained that many people would like to be in her position. She's got all she needs to move forward; decent recording equipment, dedicated songwriter and recording guy (me), and full economic support.

For a rookie effort I think she's got it made..in any case, we'll see what happens this weekend..
