Next yearâs X-Factor winner already dropped by Syco Records
The 2015 winner of the X-Factor has dramatically been dropped by Simon Cowellâs record label six months before the showâs quest to find them begins. The winner, who will prove popular with the public afterÂ their emotional back-story is revealed during the series, will no longer be contracted to Syco to produce âmusicâ. âIt was a difficult decision, but one we had to make,â said a representative for Syco. âBut we feel that our partnership with the as yet unknown artist has run its course and we wish them well for the future.â Although the identity of the artist wonât be known until the X-Factorâs final show in December, theyâre probably really happy with the direction their career has now taken, and look forward to a lifetime of singing Celine Dion songs on cruise ships. X-Factor fans were pragmatic at the announcement. âWell, itâs probably quite disappointing to know that youâve been dropped even before youâve been signed,â said fan Simon Williams. âBut what youâve got to remember is that theyâll have been on an amazing journey and will have been mentored by whoever it is whoâs announced to mentor them, which will have been amazing.â The person in question will almost certainly become one of the most famous people in the country for a few weeks, before becoming really quite tiresome and then releasing an album of shitty cover versions just as everyone stops caring. âOne thing we would like to make very clear though,â said the spokesperson for Syco. âWe still get the money from that album.â âAll the money.â
