he made a mistake by listening to his guys back in 2010 telling him to focus on his albums first because of the competition with fally,otherwise surely that team would have been like how light music and villanova generation 1 gave a couple of solo artists
then the game changed and the two waves of moves to maison mere gave the usual "drop the effort the promoting musicians because of betrayal" and the self centered model which arrived in the last 10 years did the rest of the work,that being said this is by far the weakest generation of band members we've seen in our lifetime
about ferre's career overall i think one thing which impacted his image longterm is from what i remember back when i was around him he rejected a lot of things,for example he'd reject concerts of 12 musicians in africa a lot so instead of building a relationship by 'sacrificing" and then by 4 5 years getting 25 plus people on tours he prefered playing once here and there when the odd good proposal comes and bounce,and in that era of digital market and working with majors,he seems to me like he wants to have so much control of his career especially on the financial aspect that he does not want to systematically share his income like it would be if he decided to sign with promoters structure and all that who are responsible of doing whatever it takes to make a global star with or without good music and since he is not obsessed "enough" by huge huge success,he'd rather grow slowly with people he knows and trust then just go boom with him feeling like a puppet of a system,his logic a bit close to jb's aswell hence the perception they give of being behind the career driven rivals
ferre seems however to have made some efforts about that in the recent times,he seems a bit less categorical with some stuff
