If Chamberlain Records have the rights to her recordings, she won't be breaking the X factor terms and conditions.

Katie, 24 - who looked stunned to win last night's public vote at the expense of heart-throb Aiden Grimshaw - was supposed to have cut all links with Chamberlain Records after Simon Cowell's lawyers spent thousands of pounds to pull her out of a US record deal.

I wonder how this can be positive PR for the show Is The Sun turning against the X factor?

The fact you are reading a story about x factor, and posting a story about x factor, that others here will then comment on, is all Cowell cares about.

Plenty of people detest the show, Elton John for one, its still publicity. Cowell doesnt care if you like him and his shows or hate him and his shows, as long as you know they are there and talk about them.

Viewing figures are the highest ever. Its not a coincedence.

If the X Factor bought Katie out of her US contract, the show is rigged, and it is going to be hard to spin this into a positive story.

I agree that this is publicity, but I wonder whether this is not going too far and won't start putting people off.

The story fits exactly the normal template for a placed X Factor story designed to generate hate and therefore viewers. :sleep:

Nothing to see, move on. This is no different than every other story you read about X Factor in the tabloids.

She's denied that she's fleeing on her twitter apparently

This side of the story is probably made up, because even if she is heard on an obscure album, she has no reason to quit the X Factor.

What I find more significant are the accusations that the X Factor has bought her out of her contract.
But thinking about it, I bet that this is to give an opportunity to the Simon to publicly deny it.
