Union J sign deal with Louis
From celebnews.uk.com - Union J already have a deal and it means they've "parted ways" with their Manager....
X Factor boyband Union J have signed a new Management deal with Louis Walsh. In a shock move, Jaymi, JJ, George and Josh have parted ways with Blair Dreelan, who put the band - originally called Triple J and without member George - together. Louis has spent weeks telling viewers Union J are "the next big boyband" and believes he can work the same magic that he cast over his previous groups Westlife, Boyzone and Girls Aloud. Blair, who A source, close to another of this year's X Factor acts, told http://www.Celebnews.uk.com "Louis is so excited about Union J, he genuinely believes they can be as big as One Direction and The Wanted but he needs control over them; having another Manager involved just wouldn't work". The band are set to confirm the news offically this weekend. |

didn't like Blair that much but still.Just hope there's a decent record deal in this. |

According to twitter, a few days ago they either got dropped or not picked up by Modest Management because Jaymi is gay.

I'm pleased for Union J in the sense that Louis has a lot of experience and a lot of contacts, but I hope he isn't involved too much in the creative vision for the group. They need a really good marketing team behind them to lose the 1D comparisons but also to not be pigeonholed into the Westlife-style boyband type. I think they should really be pushing their voices and, if any of them have song writing skills, that too. Almost like a young Take That, but a bit cuter and more fun. We'll see how it goes! I'm just really relieved that Blair is gone. |

They won't be remembered in 12 months time. People need a reality check. One Direction is just a phenomenon and a one off. They will be forgot about rather quickly. Just like some of the people who have left the show already and I have already forgotten some of their names.

Actually, you most likely are wrong. The vast majority of people who come off the X Factor go on to do nothing. Like Steve Brookstein, Leon Jackson and the countless others.
What makes Union J any different? I don't see it. All of last years final four were "destined to flop" and since then Little Mix have had two top 3 singles (one #1) and a top 3 album, Amelia's debut single went top 3 and Misha just got her first top 10. I'm not saying Union J will be a success but you can't write them off when The X Factor isn't even finished yet. |

I actually worry about them because for weeks and weeks they got fed a lot of utter bullshit about being the next big boyband and selling millions of records etc when you have One Direction dominating that market. So its not going to happen is it. Louis Walsh just lying to them basically. |
