Matt Terry Signed to RCA UK Instead of SYCO
They plan to turn him into the next Olly Murs.
Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...ext-olly-murs/ So, Simon signed Honey G, but was willing to give Matt away.

Ooooh controversial. I wonder if the winner's prize is still advertised as a recording contract with Syco, or if that has been changed (thinking false advertising)? I suppose if everyone (including Matt) is happy, it's pretty irrelevant though.

That would be a mistake. We already have an Olly Murs who's still doing well so why the heck would they plan such a thing for the poor guy?
His winner's single is already losing steam after only 2 days and I don't think in the slightest that he's gonna reach even Top 3 with the song. They need to find his own sound asap! |

Wow, Cowell's washed his hands of him already. So people were right on here, he did go off Matt big time for some reason. No wonder he didn't seem over enthusiastic about the result. Whereas Matt is a better singer than Olly, Olly is more of an entertainer. Matt joins the long list of male X Factor contestants who signed with RCA - Marcus Collins, Jahmene Douglas, Nicholas McDonald, Luke Friend, Andrea Faustini but they didn't win the show.

Maybe that's why Simon wasn't on Xtra Factor after the final- busy selling him on before the ink dried.
Trying to mould him into the "next Olly Murs" seems like a poor strategy to me. He doesn't have that sort of personality and isn't that sort of act. |

Hasn't it always been advertised more as a £1 million recording contract, rather than signed to Syco?

The £1 Million pound bit was dropped quietly some years back! It's now just a recording contract.... 1 album minimum I think!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they didn't spend a million pounds on Sam Bailey.

This doesn't give me good vibes. Alexandra released her second album under them and it did badly compared to the first one.
Plus he's nothing like Olly Murs so I don't get that strategy. I also think Olly is with Epic, not RCA, so not sure about the label mates point in the article. |

This was the 2011 Sun article that laid out the advances for each album, when they quietly dropped the "£1 million" bit.

He didn't sign Matt Cardle either (he went to Columba rather than RCA tho)
I wonder if he wants to sign someone else. That year he signed both 1D and Cher, and Rebecca Ferguson went to RCA. |

There was a rumour the producers wanted Matt to win, but wanted Saara to win.
I reckon he might sign 5am since there's a gap in the market without One Direction they did great in the voting. Saara may have a good chance getting a deal from him. Strange he's signed Honey G but not Matt. |

I guess that confirms that Cowell did cool on him significantly, if he was ever actually warm on him in the first place. Quote:

If RCA can make him a success than fair play. But I suspect they will put in minimum effort , grab whatever quick return they can from a rushed album and then quietly drop him down the road. Meanwhile Cowell gets to hold his hands up and say 'not my fault'. I'd put money on 5AM being the act he wants. The sheer amount of help they got on the show points to that. F*** knows why, but he obviously thinks he can sell their records to someone. |

Matt is not a cheeky dancing chappie like Olly Murrs, he's more in the Matt Cardel school of stand and wail in a high voice, like a male diva. If singers can dance a bit too, they tend to be more marketable - Justin Timberlake, Jason De Rulo, Usher, Chris Brown and many others.

I think the strategy is no more complicated than devolving responsibility for whatever follows. If RCA can make him a success than fair play. But I suspect they will put in minimum effort , grab whatever quick return they can from a rushed album and then quietly drop him down the road.

One Olly Murs is enough thanks. We don't need another one.

Olly Murs is one of the most successful artists in the history of the show, whether you like him or not. It's no surprise they're tapping into the same market. I did think they'd be going for a Sam Smith-type audience but anyway... |

I've heard Matt's song on the radio a couple of times - it's better than some of the winners songs they have had so hope sales continue for him
![]() Will RCA release the winners song ![]() I don't think Matt is like Olly at all - he doesn't do any dad dancing for a start
