That's really great news. I look forward to buying an album by G4, will be well worth the wait.

I think Louis has been misquoted. I have it on good authority that Louis said that "I have taken a contract out on G4"

Somebody (a Steve fan btw, so no-one can be accused of favouritism) posted this on another forum:

g4 were at Sony yesterday but when they came out Mike said there was no deal to sign, and they were on their way to meet another label for a meeting, so as far as I know no deal is signed, but They've said its not with Sony? I guess people thought they were signing because Louis was telling the world and their mama that g4 had a meeting with Sony?

Just for info, there was no source so don't shoot me down (forum was the x-factor.co.uk/popidol btw)

I do think it's all a bit premature.....

Just as signing a record deal immediately after Pop Idol 1 made no difference to Gareth's ability to release a single just after Will's. (Aye right )He had a similar "Can't release anything for 3 months" contract, but it was completely ignored by Simon.

If Sony are joint sponsors they can disregard the contract too.

It doesn't matter what you say baileybots,it never penetrates.


btw......isn't it great now to be on 'ignore'?Should lead to a bit less pestering.

Just to reiterate what has already been mentioned

1 - simon owns Syco
2 - Simon does not own a label
3 - Simon works for Sony/BMG
4 - Simon said He will only sign the winner
5 - The winner must be signed to Sony/BMG as Simon works for them.
6 - The runner up will only be signed within 3 months if Simon releases the runner up from contract
7 - if he release the runner up - he will be (potentially defrauding the GBP).

So as the contestants are contracted to Syco, sony cannot make the decision. That lies with Simon. He will only release them from contract if he is able to find a water tight excuse to the comments he has already made regarding them not being signed.
