  In the case of Laura, think the solicitors would have a good case for getting her out of the contract.

  
  Why should Laura be any different? She signed the contract.
  
  I am so sick of this whole Laura thing. She was voted out. End of. Other far better singers have been voted out too early in the past and one of them in this series.

  Yeah - get over it. She lost because she actually didn't sing very well.

  There's no evidence of anyone being booted off through tactical voting or spite, so it's kind of academic.

  4 people in my team, 1 likes JLS, 1 Laura and 2 Diana - you can't like everyone, get over it, irrespective of tactical voting, she was still in the bottom two meaning that many people prefered others to her - the hoo ha going on this weekend has been bloody ridiculous

  If all you have to go on is alleged "spite" then you can forget it.

  He looked more emotional to me - he doesn't like voting off someone who he thinks shouldn't leave and that was true of both contestants. However, he felt Ruth gave a more passionate and better performance in the sing off and based his decision on that. And I agree with him there.

  I think that's generous. If you get a record deal 4 weeks after appearing on the show (or even 3 months) then you are most likely getting it because you have been on that show. In which case, Syco/Sony are entitled to some kind of compensation for handing you that opportunity. As that isn't possible, then contestants can't sign to anyone else.
  
  If there were no binding contracts, people could just quit the competition the week before the final, leave it a few months and then sign up to another major label under excellent terms.
  
  AI is even tougher from what I've been reading. If it was up to me, I'd have them prevented from signing for a major until the live shows of the next series.
  
  Maybe I'm just mean!
