Would Little Mix be better off away from Syco?

I really like these girls and they have bags of potential but I don't want them winning for Syco to ruin it all and mess things up.. 
They will win tonight but I really think they'd be better off coming 2nd and following JLS and signing with a label like Epic. I think they'd handle them much better and as a label who have acts on their roster of a similar artistic style/look would be more understanding of the girls and their direction, and have more resources and ideas in place to help them achieve big things imo. I think they'd 'get' them far more than Syco ever will.

Indeed, but I just wanted to see what everyone else thought.:o
I don't fully agree with that. Alexandra Burke got to the album she wanted and it was damn good album and with some damn good duets.
I think it is dependent on the artist. I don't think they knew what to do with Joe but with Alexandra and Leona is what pretty clear the direction they needed to take.
I'm not sure they will last that long in my opinion. They will have to come up with some good material to establish themselves beyond the X Factor winners novelty mantra.
There are other acts from this year and others who need to turn tail and run as far and as fast away from Syco as possible but for Little Mix - perfect match.
As long as they dont expect to be the Spice Girls, and take it for what it is, they'll be fine.
Yes ,syco have the worst management ever. I'm glad Alexandra chose to leave them, yes I loved Overcome but most of the song choices on there were by Simon Cowell and the album could have been better imo but all is at ease now she has full grasp of the direction she wants to go with her music and RCA seem to be co-operating quite well with her.Leona should do the same Syco don't have a clue what to do with her.
And Little Mix know exactly what they're doing. There's still a big question mark over Marcus.
However I don't think these girls are push overs. It's 4 against 1 and they have Tulisa who Simon will listen to.
I hope they get to write their own stuff now or eventually.
Sorry, but I see no evidence that they could or want to write their own stuff.They are depressingly generic and lightweight.
I hope Simon gets Labrinth to produce for the girls. Or maybe Dr Luke and Ester Dean (Rihanna, Katy Perry producer/songwriters). Also I would love them to team up with Tinie Tempah or Wretch 32.
Time will tell I don't think they are puppets I am sure they think for themselves.
It's easy to believe the worse because by default this industry is a hard nut to crack.
Well then Little Mix are better of being the runner up than, Simon will just send them to work with Redone if they end up winning.:)
People say that about all pop bands/ acts, but The Wanted, Pixie Lott, even Cher and 1D did write some tracks for their albums.
People are quick to judge.
'People say' means that they MIGHT have sat in the recording studio with the actual writers, nodded a bit and said, 'ooh yeah, I think if I go la, la, la after that verse it'll sound good'. For ANYONE to be able to genuinely write their own music, they have to be familiar with at least one musical instrument. Writing tracks is quite a complicated process. I doubt any of Little Mix can even read music.
I don't know about The Wanted, Cher or 1D, but there's a video on YouTube of Pixie Lott writing "Broken Arrow". I'm pretty sure she wrote most of the tracks on her second album too.
I wouldn't put Pixie Lott in the same category as Cher, 1D and Little Mix, though. She's a relatively credibly artist. I really don't see Little Mix as 'songwriters'; do you?
