Not sure if it has been mentioned anywhere, but invitations to her press conference next tuesday were, not so surprisingly, sent by Sony Music Finland.
Could she have been signed by the RCA just like Matt Terry? |

if you look at voting patterns she lost only because 5am fans voted for matt at the final two stage
Saara did win weeks 8 and 9, but not by much. The voting was close at the end of the season - extremely close. Just look at the percentages. She also didn't lead by much in the first half of the final vote. Ultimately, she came into the live shows as fodder. Matt came into the live shows as one of the favorites - the biggest favorite. Saara was fighting for her place in the live shows in the first few weeks while Matt was topping the vote. Towards the end of the season, Saara gained momentum and Matt lost some of his. Saara went into the final weekend with the momentum, but then the "Purple Rain" duet happened. And Saara's song choices on the final weekend (yes, both nights), just weren't good. Ultimately, the voters in the end opted for their original favorite. He fought for that win on the final weekend and deserved to win. Saara still did extremely well all things considered. |

Or perhaps with Sony Music Finland? Didn't Mary Byrne and Andrea Faustini get record deal from their local Sony labels (Ireland and Italy)?

In any case, I'm sure she will still get promoted in the UK. |

She already has her own record label (Yume Records) in Finland, that she founded with her ex-boyfriend Teemu Roivainen, and has put out 5 CDs.
So she wouldn't need to sign with a different label in Finland. If she has signed with Sony it'll be for a worldwide deal, I would imagine. Otherwise not much point. |

![]() I see she says she is due back in Finland on Tuesday, so presumably this press conference is happening. (unfortunately she's laid up with the flu just now )I still don't see the point in her doing the X-Factor UK if her ambitions only lay in Finland. So hopefully any recordings will be released Worldwide . |

I brought up James Arthur a few posts before yours, maybe its another co-sign with Syco in the UK. JA is signed to Sony Germany but he is also on Columbia in the US and is currently getting a push there. Thats the only way signing to a label in Finland makes any sense to me considering her stated intentions.
Whatever deal she signed, she did so within a few days of X-Factor ending, and she's been celebrating since then. She wouldn't have done that if it'd been a Finland only thing. That would have been a last resort. ![]() Not that I've got anything against Finland, but I'm sure she feels that she's achieved all she can there. |

The UK rejected her when it mattered the most....she's probably better off switching back to Finland as they gave her a sensational homecoming.

I see no reason why she can't make waves here as she must have quite a lot of fans now. |

I don't know what her prospects are coz I fear that she's not the kind of act that will sell huge amounts. But I don't think that's her market really - in terms of the big, big players in music. She could do some really decent adult contemporary music that I think might get her an audience like Rebecca Ferguson has.

Well, joint deal with Syco and Sony Music Finland. I knew Sony Music Finland had to be involved because why have a press conference in Finland to announce a record deal?
Seems like Syco didn't care enough to sign her on their own, but will still help. At least help her promote in the UK or something. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz-t...r-Simon-Cowell |
