Looks like this year's X Factor runner-up Saara Aalto is pretty close to signing a record deal.

The Finnish native, who blew audiences away with her Adam Lambert duet during the show's final at Wembley, snapped a picture of herself in a recording studio earlier today (December 16).

And sources say she's closing in on a "big record deal" with a "major label". So that's her Christmas present sorted.


A source close to Saara revealed: "This week has been a whirlwind for Saara - the interest has been overwhelming in her and she's close to inking a big record deal with a major label.

"Saara had to make sure it was the right plan. She's released lots of albums off of her own back in the past but this is going to be her first major record deal and she wanted to make sure she chose wisely.

"She's already got strong ideas of what she wants to do. Sia, Gaga and Kate Bush will all be heavy influences in her debut. She's not just going to be some pop puppet - she's the real deal and image will be important.

"She's also going to be writing original songs. She's always been a big writer and has a lot of options ready to go.

"She's excited to finally be achieving her dream and can't wait to reveal her exact plans in the next few days. 2016 has been the best year for her and 2017 is going to be even better."

Just days after losing to Bromley boy MATT TERRY in the ITV talent show final, the Finnish singer has signed a five-album deal with Sony Music UK and Sony Finland.

Saara will also be flying to LA next year to work with songwriters Diane Warren and David Foster, who have written music for the likes of BEYONCE, MADONNA and CELINE DION.

Beyonce, Madonna and Celine could never. Really hope she tours first before getting a Las Vegas residency.
