“ We can reveal X Factor boss Simon Cowell will sign talented Fleur even if she is not the champion.
Last night Fleur, 27, sang for a recording deal alongside Ben Haenow, 29, and Andrea Faustini, 20, in what bookies were calling the closest-ever final.
But Simon had already decided to make her a worldwide hit – telling aides: “She’s already a superstar. She could be the *British Rihanna.” Our source revealed: “Simon made the decision to sign Fleur after last week’s semi-final. He would love her to be crowned champion but he will give her a record deal whatever *happens.”
Chatting exclusively to the Daily Star Sunday, Simon refused to be drawn on contracts.
But he said: “Based on what I saw last week, I’d have to say Fleur really has the potential to be huge if she was given material as good as Uptown Funk. I’ve never seen such a reaction to a song in my life. It was unbelievable. The original is fantastic but what she did with it is *incredible. It was almost perfection.
“She reminds me of what Janet Jackson used to do at the height of her career. She could sing and dance and put on a show and we haven’t seen anyone like that in a long time.”
Fans’ favourite Fleur gave stunning performances of Can’t Hold Us, Uptown Funk and Beneath Your Beautiful last night.
Chatting just before the final, she said: “The dream is obviously to become an international star.
“That has always been my aim and now hopefully I can make that happen.
“I want to be like a modern-day Janet Jackson. I have so many ideas I just want to get started.”
The session singer could now become a multi-millionaire with Simon’s backing.
But the former barmaid will first have to pay off her huge debts to family and friends.
She said: “I’ve lived on my overdraft for about four years. In fact I was over the overdraft.
“I was borrowing money from family. My parents were scraping the barrel so I could sing.
“There’s a lot of money I owe and need to pay back someone so the winner’s cheque would be nice.
“I’ve borrowed so much money I don’t even know the amount *any more. It will take a lifetime to pay back.
“Before this I was working in a nightclub serving champagne to celebrities like Rihanna. I used to serve their drinks and pray one day it would be me sat at the table rather than me serving them.
“It feels like this is the right time for me.””
