Louisa Johnson will be signed by Simon Cowell 'whatever happens' on The X Factor.
Louisa has been the bookies' favourite to win the series ever since her very first audition in the opening episode of this year's run back in August.
Last weekend however proved that no one is safe and shock exits in the past have also shown that favourites aren't immune from elimination.
But if reports are to be believed, Louisa needn't worry even if she does go as she's set to scoop a record deal.
A source said this week that X Factor boss Simon "absolutely loves" the teenager and feels she has "unbelievable star quality" who "could be an international name", bigger than recent X Factor success story Ella Henderson. Blimey.
The insider told the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper at the weekend that Simon also feels that Louisa winning would "add credibility to the show."
Simon has made no secret of his love of Louisa this series, previously declaring her the winner before even judges' houses. He told Now magazine last month: "Louisa is the winner. Absolutely. Definitely. It’s her voice."
I am tired with Syco doing their job so bad. There are so many female stars out there, that it is difficult to maintain the status of female winners (males are mainly doomed, beside a few exceptions). Instead of panicking and putting people like Alexandra, Leona and possibly now Ella forced in a corner because they could not live it up, is just horrible. Those women have still so much potential.
That is why I think talent shows should not be every year but every couple of years. Giev the winner the time to develop themselves and actually try to maintain their career, with a management and label that is 100% there for them, instead of forcing a talentshow winner/contestant every 12 months that won't even get the resources to develop him/herself
I think Louisa is the bigger star tbh, the potential is huge for her I feel it when I see her but Ella has already done so well he shouldn't stop focussing on her either.
It's good to know that Simon will sign her no matter what happens on the show (she still needs to win tho, so please vote ). Queen is gonna be massive next year.
That's a given. She is the only one this year that would be successful as an artist, apart from possibly 4th Impact. As far as Ella, Louisa is a much better performer so I get why he would think this and it's definitely possible. She just needs to stay consistent, that way she might make the semi finals whereas Ella went downhill during the live shows.
