Posted January 21, 201114 yr I thought I'd start a thread for Rebecca as she's signed a record deal with Epic Records. I'm not sure whether or not she is also signed to Syco though.. A bit like Olly Murs I'm not sure if it's officially been confirmed, but there are a few articles around http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/x-factor/x-fa...deal-with-epic/ & here are a few tweets that basically confirm it as Paloma is also on Epic: Paloma Faith @beccaxferguson should I be officially welcoming you? Tell me tell me? I'm so excited! Rebecca Ferguson @Palomafaith hi I'm really excited! , couldn't have asked for better people to work with ill probably c u soon ;) xxx Paloma Faith @beccaxferguson yay!!!I'm so happy too.we will have lots of fun!hurray!
January 21, 201114 yr Yep, it's definitely official, it was posted on Rebecca's Facebook page as well. I'm SO happy for her, I hope she can have some success! :D
January 21, 201114 yr I don't really want to be too excited yet, but oh well. ;o Edited January 21, 201114 yr by FM11
January 21, 201114 yr I can't see her being to my taste personally, but I'm glad for her ^_^ I see her as more of an album act, if Epic manage to make her a successful artist in both charts, then they have well and truly proved themselves to be better than Syco
January 21, 201114 yr Well on The X Factor, she performed ballads and up-tempo songs, and considering she is on the same part of the label that JLS and Olly are on, she could have some great material if they give her the same variety that she had performed on the show.
January 22, 201114 yr Could potentially be SPECTACULAR. :wub: ^_^ Rebecca proved that when she was on form, she was outstanding (I do think Matt Cardle was more consistant throughout the lives finals). Rebecca was always in my top 3 best performers but mostly because most of the other finalists were either just good, or worse. Interesting how Paloma Faith is taking an interest, I wonder if Rebecca's debut album will have a similar sound to that of Paloma. Hopefully she will do what Olly Murs has done and have her own unique sound.
January 22, 201114 yr I could see Rebecca doing a duffy type album. Or perhaps with more of an american sound with a touch of Aretha.
January 22, 201114 yr Really smart move from Rebecca she obviously has a good head on her shoulders, Syco are truly hopeless.Hope she also gets a joint deal with a US label as well.
January 22, 201114 yr I can understand why rebecca was so popular on x factor, as a person i liked her but i wasnt a fan of her voice or her style of music and had i the full choice i wouldnt have had rebecca in the final 5, so i was delighted matt beat her in the final as i agree i think matt was far more consistant on an all round basis. I think rebecca could potentially do well if she is managed properly and given the right material as there is a market for that type of artist mainly as an album type artist.

I preferred her to Matt but fairs fair he was better the night of the final and not sure what happened to her during her duet with Christina she just crumbled.I think Epic tend to be good at picking songs and she should produce a good solid album.
January 22, 201114 yr I preferred her to Matt but fairs fair he was better the night of the final and not sure what happened to her during her duet with Christina she just crumbled.I think Epic tend to be good at picking songs and she should produce a good solid album. It's more than just the floptastic duet with Xtina. Poor song choices never help any contestant. Matt Cardle butchered 'Bleeding Love' and it was easily his worst performance throughout the entire series - it just happened to be better than other contestants at their best. Rebecca singing 'Yesterday' by The Beatles was just woeful. There was another song she performed where it really didn't sound good on the night with many slightly off pitch moments. :( However, her renditions of 'Fireflies' (pure Aretha divaness), 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' and 'Amazing Grace' proved how good a singer Rebecca can be.
January 22, 201114 yr Wahey! Loved her in X Factor, glad she has got a deal, and if it's not under Syco, all the better :)
January 22, 201114 yr Author Yep, it's definitely official, it was posted on Rebecca's Facebook page as well. I'm SO happy for her, I hope she can have some success! :D Oo Yeh just saw it now: Rebecca Ferguson hi I'm really excited to be signing to Epic Records and to be a 'Label sister' to Paloma Faith, JLS and Olly Murs!! couldn't have asked for a better team of people to working with!! :) xxx
January 22, 201114 yr I actually almost died when I saw this on Digital Spy yesterday, but wasn't sure if I shoud believe it :( I saw it on Facebook too now, so glad it's confirmed. I'm almost as excited for this as I am for Lady Gaga tbh, she was by far my fave on XF last year :D
January 22, 201114 yr AAH! Brilliant! As happy as I was about there being rumours of her being signed to Syco, I was a bit worried about how they'd handle her, so another label altogether is just brilliant! :D I hope the album's great, as she was by far the best of the acts on The X Factor 2010. :D
January 22, 201114 yr I'm really interested as to what kind of music she releases ... I think she might be a bit more of an album seller, but we'll see.
