Syco signs Tamera Foster, Luke Friend and Nicholas McDonald?

[Vanessa]

It's all over twitter. Not confirmed. :shocked:

[Shaun]

lol RC

[Kazanne]

Mmmm,not always a good thing

[Vanessa]

Only these three. It's on Digital Spy as well.

[Vanessa]

Mmmm,not always a good thing

I think they're all tied to Syco. Not sure they're allowed to accept offers from other labels.

[Novo]

this really defeats the purpose of the whole show, not like anyone cares anymore but still

[Samm]

Most likely only tamera, but it is just rumors very unlikely they will sign luke or nick

[Vanessa]

I think all three have been signed.

[King Gizzard]

Nicholas would have been screwed if he didn't get a Syco deal, he doesn't even have the ability to go into theatre

[Brother Leon]

If I was a contestant my ideal scenario if I wasn't to win would be reach the final,build a fanbase and get signed by someone else tbh lol.

[Vanessa]

Apparently Paul has had an offer, but he can't accept it because he's tied to Syco. :shocked:

[King Gizzard]

No one will give a **** about Paul surely, this is the guy that controversially got left out right?

[King Gizzard]

unless being tied to syco means they are holding him back for the next series like they do with countless others

[Vanessa]

No one will give a **** about Paul surely, this is the guy that controversially got left out right?

:joker: He had a great voice, but not the pin up looks.

[Kazanne]

This is why XFactor snubbed Matt Cardle as he wanted to do his own stuff,he signed to another label and they didn't like it,as it happens Matt is doing nicely for himself,bit childish of XFactor to snub him though,but doubt he cares that much.

Probably. They like to have first pick.

[Mystic Mock]

At least it looks like we'll be hearing from Luke again.

[Kate!]

Tamera :worship:

Very smart of Luke to accept Syco's offer. It's not wise to piss them off. :joker:

[Vanessa]

Tamera :worship:

:amazed: Simon's favourite!

[Kate!]

:amazed: Simon's favourite!

I think she has a shot of doing well Ness, and I can possibly see Luke getting a deal, will be stunned if Nicholas does, he really is poor, Sam sang him off the stage in the final, dreadful he was.

I think Louis may have convinced Simon to sign both Luke and Nick. :laugh:

[Headie]

The only one that will actually get signed to Syco is Tamera.

I hope Hannah and Rough Copy can get signed by a good label.

[Mystic Mock]

Hannah will struggle to get a record label because she's not "pretty" enough.

Sad but true as I really liked Hannah on the show.

I don't think so. :devil:

Agreed! Syco will never sign her.

[MTVN]

Let's hope Nicholas releases that duet with Shane, that was a phenomenonal performance

[Kate!]

:hugesmile:

:laugh2:

[Headie]

I don't think so. :devil:

Considering this year had been branded the worst series ever and Syco usually only sign 1 or 2 non winners per season, I doubt they'll sign anyone other than Tamera. The last spot is between RC & Luke as they're the only marketable ones.

[Headie]

Maybe she could get signed to the same one Misha B got signed to.

[Mystic Mock]

Fingers crossed that you're right.

[Josy]

this really defeats the purpose of the whole show, not like anyone cares anymore but still

Basically this.

Why even try to win if they sign them all anyway.

I think these three sound legit. But they might want Rough Copy as well.

But they don't sign everyone. Only who they think is marketable.

welp @ no RC

Only Luke and Tamera. :suspect:

[Mystic Mock]

Yes.

[Vanessa]

We're still waiting for confirmation for this.

[Marsh.]

But will Tamera remember?

Don't think that means anything... Sam Callahan was on that list when he got eliminated :joker:

I guess time will tell who gets signed.

[Vanessa]

This list is more complete.

[Mystic Mock]

Luke Friend, Tamera Foster, and Rough Copy will all get signed, nobody that's a fan of these three acts should be worried about them not getting signed, they definitely will get signed to some label imo.

And I suspect that Abi will get signed to an independent label as well.

I agree with that. These are the most commercial artists. :blush:

[reece(:]

Tamera <3

Nicholas McDonald ‏@nickymcdonald1 16m
I just want to make a promise with all you guys and that is that I will never give up on your and hopefully I will have an album out soon ��

Not signed? lololol

[Tom4784]

Tamera's the only contestant with a hope of a career this year. Nicholas will bring out a Mother's day album and then be dropped and Luke will release a flop single that sounds like something McFly rejected and will be swiftly dropped before he can release an album.

[Samm]

Ew more of Luke

[Vanessa]

:devil::devil::devil::devil:

Doesn't sound like it. :suspect:

[kresslia]

Where did these rumours originate on Twitter?

[Vanessa]

After i read the terms of the contract i hope they don't sign Luke. It sounds horrific if true. :nono:

[Vanessa]

Some key points:
Artists who were voted out of the show are still under contract to Cowell’s label for up to three months.


Winner gets £150k advance, 2nd gets £75k, 3rd £50k and 4th £10k.


Apparently the winner and runner-ups can be signed to any of Sony’s record labels like RCA or Epic Records, not only Syco. But being in top 4 doesn’t automatically mean a record deal, even though advances have been specified in the contract.

The winner gets 15 per cent from single and album sales. Headlining a tour brings 7.5 per cent of show profits and 15 per cent of merchandise sales.


The record label has “final say” over tracks for albums, and can choose producers and single releases.


Another clause states that artists leaving the show may have to give 5 per cent of all future live earnings to Cowell for a year. :crazy:

[sassysocks]

But they don't sign everyone. Only who they think is marketable.

Marketable to who, kids who can't see further than the teenage stero-typical view of so-called good looks or a few muscles worked for at the gym. God help the music industry.

I hope they don't sign Luke. He can do better than Syco.

[Pete.]

They haven't signed Hannah :nono:

[sassysocks]

Yes he can. Syco will dump them as soon as the fickle teens loose interest which usually isn't very long - usually about the time the next 'good looking' wannabee appears on the scene.

I think an indipendent label would be better for a songwriter like him.

I wasn't sure about Luke at first, but he proved himself in the competition. He upped his game and delivered the goods and just got better and better, whilst Sam just whittled on about how much he wanted it - it isn't about wanting it, it's about having it. Luke has it, that is the difference between them and why Luke got to the final and Sam didn't.

I agree. Music is in in blood. He just wants to write songs. :love:

[Tom4784]

Syco is Luke's only option, he has no credibility to be picked up by any other record companies.

[Vanessa]

No, it's not. Music producers noticed him when he was 6, but he was too young to get signed back then. :spin:

[Tom4784]

And he's ruined any chances of it happening now by doing X Factor. The best he can hope for outside of Syco now is a cheap no name record label that will pick him up for a quick buck and drop him the second he flops.

If he had any real talent or potential he wouldn't have needed the X Factor. He's destroyed any chances of a future career by doing X Factor since it alienates his core target audience. Any decent Record company will consider him a joke.

That is you opinion and you're entitled to it. But i don't agree. Let's leave it at that.

[Tom4784]

It's an informed opinion, I actually know what I'm talking about. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment Vanessa, I have a better chance of getting a contract then he does.

Even if Luke get's an independent label at least it means he stays in the Music Industry without the pressure of getting constant number ones like Sam Bailey will be getting every single.

Except that won't happen, like I said before, he'll get some low rent record deal, **** out a quick single and get dropped soon after. He's a flash in the pan, nothing more.

There is no market for him.

Tbf acts like Luke have been able to get independent labels after TXF before, I certainly wouldn't rule him out of it.

But personally the most commercial this series I think will be Rough Copy anyway, they've got the cheesy dance moves down to a tea that the teen girls will love.

I like Luke, because he writes his own songs and they're amazing. Syco would never et him do that. He needs an indipendent label. This is his most recent song :

Hang On Prof Dezzy
Lets see what he puts out

[Vanessa]

I expect his album to be a lot like his EP. And that album is fantastic. He's a good song writer. :)

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

surprised he didn't sign ..i forgot their names. Those 3 guys :/
