According to the Daily Star Simon Cowell held a high priority meeting late Saturday night about Fleur and plans to take her stateside. The paper also claims he is trying to get Bruno Mars to duet with her at the Final to reprise Uptown Funk.
Remember it is the Daily Star so might not happen. ;-)

    Duets are prepared weeks in advance so that acts are not double booked so i doubt it unless he was her original Deut partner

    Well that would be epic but doubt it will happen

    Simon taking Fleur to America is believeable tho

    Usher is on Graham Norton a few days later so wouldn't be surprised if he's with Fleur

    Oh really? A duet of Caught Up would be amazing.

    It's probably made up, but I can well believe Simon would try to get Bruno on - if she's going to be singing it anyway, it'll help the success of his new single even more if he joins her to sing it.

    What Simon wants, Simon gets (within reason - babies are out of his hands!)

    If he wants Bruno, and Bruno is free from tour engagements, then he will get him on his private plane and fly him to the UK. All expenses paid. Simple.

    What more could an act want? To be singing at the UK X Factor final on prime time UK TV? With a product to sell!

    They're trying to rush release Bruno's version of the single anyway, as it has rocketed in popularity on iTunes. It's a digital release already.

    Do you think the Yanks would buy into Fleur? Given how hard it is to crack the USA what does Fleur offer over and above american born acts? She's certainly no Leona Lewis.

    On that basis Simon should take Stevi over there!

    M'eh. Didn't they say the same about Alexandra? And was Cher not a bit of a one hit wonder? What does Fleur bring to the table that they do not already have in abundance?

    Fleur is very different to Alexandra and leona for me. She already has a confidence and identity about her that the other two I personally don't think had at the time of winning. She knows who she is as an artist.

    she has more presence imo. Leona has presence when she sings and Alexandra is a bit hit and miss. I don't feel like Alex found herself as an artist.

    Fleur will do well in America with the right songs.

    Anyone can crack America with determination and songs -
    It only takes one song! If she has the right backing shel succeed she has a good attitude and a determination to keep going for all those years!

    Try telling that to the countless acts that have tried and failed. Take That being one famous example. It isnt easy at all. Fleur would struggle.

    I would love to see Fleur and Bruno doing Uptown Funk. It would be incredible! But if it doesn't work I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with her and Meghan doing All About That Bass. I'd love to see Fleur and Mary J. Blige doing Family Affair, now that would be great :p

    Show me your crystal ball! If Simon backs her as he's been doing giving her those records yeah shel be fine.

    Take that? Not the best example they're not really a group that would crack America they're not rnb - boys 11 men types do best overseas

    They tried to launch Cher Lloyd in America with huge promotion and Cowell backing. She had one moderate Itunes hit and very little else.

    Fleur and Mary JB would be fantastic.

    Fleur is better than Cher - she has a better look and a better commanding of stage - they're completely different artists aswell.

    I can't see it working out to be honest.

    If they get Bruno I don't want them doing Uptown Funk , save that for the "favourite performance of the series" on the Sunday night (if she makes it of course). Treasure would be a great song to do with Bruno.

    Simon and Fleur need to concentrate on the UK first. Simon tried to get Leona to crack America before she had properly broken into the UK market and now Leona is struggling everywhere. Lets just focus on the UK first shall we ^_^
