Paige Thomas from the X Factor USA fame tweeted this minutes ago. She has recently been hinting about starting work on her debut album. Is she on her way to becoming one of Jay Z's proteges?
If the US version is anything like the UK X Factor then she hasn't signed anything, they are bound in contract to Simon for a few months after the show so he has first dibs on them.
Her last performance showed that she really does have a lot of potential. I just hope they don't try to market her too much like Rihanna and Gaga like they did on X Factor.
