Posted April 28, 200916 yr Ruth Lorenzo has signed a record contract with EMI/Virgin, a rival of Simon Cowell's Sony BMG subsidiary Syco, it has been claimed. According to The Sun, the former X Factor contestant's deal is being kept secret until it is formally unveiled at the start of May. A source at the launch of Jean-Christophe Novelli's new restaurant said: "Ruth was a bit giddy with the free champagne and was telling everyone Simon was gutted she signed elsewhere. "She said she wanted to sign with him because they got along so well during The X Factor. She said she would have loved to work with him." They added: "Ruth says he has given her lots of advice - which she made it clear she was grateful for - and also that he had given her a lot of confidence with her singing and with her career. "But the EMI deal was just too good for her to knock back. By the way she was celebrating, EMI/Virgin had given her big bucks." The source also claimed that Lorenzo was overheard suggesting that EMI had described her as "the new Janis Joplin". woo so pleased :D she was my favourite last year!
April 28, 200916 yr Brilliant news My fave X Factor contestant EVER Purple Rain for me is the best performance on any reality tv show I have ever seen
April 28, 200916 yr I want Laura to get signed. I loved loved loved her :( She went to early. She shat over Diana 'The Claw' Vickers.
April 28, 200916 yr Laura was unlucky But the 2008 field was a very strong one tbh There were only like 2 joke figures in the final 10 (Eoghan and Daniel) any of the rest of them could well have won on merit
April 28, 200916 yr Alex, Ruth, Austin (very underated), Laura, Diana, Rachel for example were all good enough to be potential winners, I have probably missed a couple out too
April 28, 200916 yr i never bought Claws hype. I thought she sounded horrific. Alex, Rachel and Laura stood out as winners for me right from the get go. I liked both Girl Bands too :(
April 28, 200916 yr i never bought Claws hype. I thought she sounded horrific. Alex, Rachel and Laura stood out as winners for me right from the get go. I liked both Girl Bands too :( Yeah her performance of Girlfriend was cringeworthy beyond belief but she did good versions of Man In The Mirror and Call Me earlier in the series so whether her illness took more out of her than we imagined I dunno My faves were in order 1. Ruth 2. Austin 3. Laura 4. Alex 5. Rachel 6. Diana
April 28, 200916 yr She was definitely without a doubt the best contestant last year, let's hope she does good.
April 28, 200916 yr Nice to see her signed and that we will hear something from her :D I would love to hear a Spanish album :wub:
April 28, 200916 yr For all you guys bashing Diana Vickers you do realise that she did not sign with Syco; signing instead with Epic and has been working on her album with Amanda Ghost (only the President of the Record label) along with Ian Dench, former guitarist of EMF who have (co)-written James Blunt’s “You're Beautiful”; "Beautiful Liar" by Beyoncé and Shakira; and Jordin Sparks' debut single Tattoo amongst their songwriting credits. Also singer songwriters Nerina Pallot & Lucie Silvas have been drafted in to help out on the album with material. Hence leaving a distinct possibility that a Syco inspired Eoghan Quigg nightmare cheap & tacky album scenario may not actually occur; and hell potentially it might actually be quite good.
April 28, 200916 yr I did really like Ruth on the show but I don't really want to see her again LOL. That goes with all the ones who didnt win, except Diana. Im the same with everything - X Factor/BB etc, I just get bored with all the contestants when the show is finished and want them all to move on :P Diana is the exception though. She didnt have the best voice but she had the most distinctive and I liked it and I liked her music taste :P so I hope she comes out with something goooood :)
April 28, 200916 yr I'd genuinely be interested in Ruth AND Diana albums, and they're the first reality TV contestants I've ever been able to say that about. Bar The Cheeky Girls.
April 29, 200916 yr i loved Ruth and wanted her to win and i would definitly be interested in buying an album from her,i really hope it happens as i think she is amazing
April 29, 200916 yr What was the little Irish one called? When is he going to get a record deal omg omg omg he was so amazing :cheer: :wub: his talent was immense. All of them high school musical tunes omg omg :cheer:

Jesus, with all these personnel involved, it's not exactly gonna be a "Diana Vickers" solo album is it....? :rolleyes: I mean, wasn't she supposed to be the one who was all "singer/songwritery"....? :lol:
