"The X Factor USA&amp;#039;s Fifth Harmony have signed a recording contract in a joint deal between Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s Syco Music and LA Reid&amp;#039;s Epic Records. The girl group were formed by Cowell during The X Factor&amp;#039;s Judges&amp;#039; Homes round and went on to finish third in the overall competition.  Cowell confirmed signing Fifth Harmony to a recording contract on Thursday (January 17), a day after taking a poll on Twitter on if he should work with them. &amp;quot;I knew from the girls&amp;#039; first performance at the judges&amp;#039; homes that we&amp;#039;d done the right thing,&amp;quot; Cowell announced to People. &amp;quot;The chemistry between the girls both on stage and off is fantastic, and they are incredibly talented.&amp;quot;  Fifth Harmony&amp;#039;s Camila Cabello also reacted to the signing by saying her bandmates are very thankful to be moving forward with their career. &amp;quot;The fact that we&amp;#039;re being given the opportunity to make music that we want feels like a dream we never want to wake up from. I literally have to pinch myself,&amp;quot; Cabello said in a statement.  Teenagers Cabello, Ally Brooke, Normani Hamilton, Dinah Jane Hansen and Lauren Jauregui comprise Fifth Harmony. They will be working with producer Julian Bunetta on their upcoming album. The X Factor&amp;#039;s latest winner Tate Stevens also signed a recording contract this week with Syco Music and RCA Nashville.
