I think Simon will sign up at least two of the acts this year and they will be Di and Laura. I think one of them will win and the other will be signed as well. I also think that Austin and Alex will get signed up but not by Simon.

If you listen to his comments over the last three weeks he def likes the two girls esp Laura.


If Simon had the girls this year he would have been unbearable.

I am not sure what his track record is for signing acts from X factor, but if he signs anyone I think he is more likely to choose Rachel over Diana or Laura. He has been Rachel's number 1 cheerleader since the start of the show.

I am surprised your post doesn't mention her.

He signed all 3 from the final last year

My guess is he will give deals to the following this time

Diana
Laura
Alexandra
Ruth
Rachel
JLS - unless Louis gets them with Polydor quicker
and maybe Austin.

But I reckon he will take care of all the girls this series. He is speaking too highly of them. For that he will not want anyone else to get them.

He said Eton Road would get a record contract, yet never gave them one, and Louis even made a promise on live TV to get them signed. It didn't happen.

So who knows if he'll really sign anyone at the end of it?

I think probably Austin and Diana will be signed, with Laura probably getting the one million deal. Even if he says he likes people like Rachel or Eoghan in the actual show that doesn't mean he thinks they can sell albums.

Yeah he does obviously want Rachel do do well and I think he would sign any of Cheryl's girls afterwards if they don't win or find them contracts with another company.
Ruth . . . well he'll probably keep her for himself

I remember at the judges houses he mentioned that he would have signed one of the boys even if he'd met them before the competition.

I think if we listen to the catch words Simon uses will give us a clue:-

Although he has said similar things before. This year is different in my view. A lot of them may not have the full package but some of them have something.

*Diana he describes as special, unique and authentic-means I want to sign. Could fit into the duffy/Dido category.

*Rachel raw, passionate and authentic-think Billie Holiday/Mary J Blige/Nina Simone type. He may want an English equivalent that does not compromise.

*JLS-best boy group ever on X factor. This means he wants to sign them as they gel well.There is a huge market for a different kind of boy band.

*Laura, Alexandra and Ruth not quite sure yet. He likes them but he may weigh his options according to public response. But among them Ruth and Laura stands out.

*The young Irish boy I cannot think how he may want to market him. He cannot sing very well. But its not always about singing. and also Austin he is not warm at all-cannot detect a personality but he could be signed as he is a all rounder.

For the past few series he has always signed or at least done something with the Final #3. The only other people he done something with that were not in the final #3 were Maria and Chico.

So I think whoever is in the Final #3 this year will probably all get deals. But seeing as this is such a strong year, Simon may sign others. And no doubt their are other record labels around aswell.
