‘The X Factor’ USA: Carly Rose Sonenclar, Fifth Harmony to receive record deals
There are some pretty interesting stories breaking now when it comes to “The X Factor” USA, and in a welcome change, this is all about the contestants rather than the judges who may or may not be getting fired from the show in the second major overhaul in the past two seasons.
First, let’s begin with the reports that are circulating that both runner-up Carly Rose Sonenclar and third-place-finisher Fifth Harmony are each going to be receiving some sort of record deal from Sony Music and Syco. Simon Cowell specifically thinks that Carly could be successful in a way similar to another young singer in Jackie Evancho, who has sold hundreds of thousands of albums in her days following “America’s Got Talent.” As for Fifth Harmony, The real challenge there is going to be marketing them as the next big girl group; luckily, Simon’s people have experience with this courtesy of Little Mix in the United Kingdom.
Next, is it possible that there may be a bidding war going on for Emblem3? It’s no secret already that Simon loves these guys, and still believes that they are going to be his American One Direction despite them losing to Fifth Harmony and missing out on the finale. Therefore, it should not come as too great of a surprise that both Epic Records (run by departing judge L.A. Reid) and Columbia Records (the home of One Direction) both want the band on their label. Will Simon pick the man that knows the guys the most, or the organization that already has success on their resume with an “X Factor” act? Only time will tell.
At the moment, we’re still sticking to our guns in saying that Fifth Harmony is act with the largest chance of actually becoming superstars, mostly because there is really nothing else like them out there. (We’re still not sure if Cowell has realized that Emblem3 is much more Hot Chelle Rae than they are Harry Styles and company.)

I don’t believe Carly Rose lost the vote, her talent was way above everybody else and at the end even though she was pounded down by some of the ones who knows her talent were above everybody else. She hanged in there, didn’t give a sob story like all the rest of the contestants. There are no words or pictures that could describe the talent and the poise attitude that this young girl had during the contest. She out did all the contestant in gracefulness too even though she was pounded from very experience people in the music business. She’s Great!

Boy bands, girl bands, they come and go; but Carly Rose is a already a once in a generation talent, a true vocal prodigy. I only have one concern, which is they don’t burn her out by pushing her too hard and too fast. There have been many brilliant stars that have cracked under that strain and been snuffed out by their own fame. I hope she gets a contract but that she also stays in school to learn how to become so much more; a place like Julliard or some other similar school where they can nurture her talent and help her to become a once in a century singer.

dunno if columbia would be the best label for emblem 3 seeing as they already have big time rush and one direction so they should go with epic. i feel like simon will neglect little mix who are hoping to debut in america in 2013 i think as a group they’re better but 5H are better vocalists. also i hope carly rose doesn’t sign with syco they dont know how to focus on more than one artist and neglect/drop/part ways with a lot of talented people. e.g. westlife. also with syco 100% focused on 1D leona lewis has been neglected and her latest single didnt even make the top 200 in uk and alexandra burke didnt even get a big international break. i hope carly signs with epic, columbia or rca and that its LA Reid and Clive Davis helping her not simon

What does this web site and its authors have against Carly Rose? They always mention her with a slap-in-the-face comment. Why don’t they see she is uber talented, the world loves her, and she will be a big star if marketed correctly?

Jackie and Carly are great and I love them both. In fact I bought Jackie’s album already. But I think Carly is going to be much much bigger than any pop star. She is still very young and so down to earth person. Already millions of viewers are watching her on youtube. Simon was right she is very cool and I’m so glad that there is a new born of a young star like Carly Rose in the generation to come.

I could not care less about Tate the Bewitch boy. I love Jackie E. but are you kidding me?? Carly will be a Mariah Carey compared to her Phantom of the O. career. And I love both. Wheels are spinning in your huge noggin.

Her 1st CD should be, C,RoseS or C,RoseS Bloom. As she will. What a performer. She was a star the moment she walked out onto that stage. The world is in love with Carly Rose Sonenclar for good reasons. She definitely has the x-factor.

Everyone is doubting 5H but I think they will surprise everyone when their album drops and become the best selling artist to come out of the X Factor this season. Carly is a good singer (sorry not as good as Jackie) but if her run on X Factor is any indication of what her record will be like it will be boring and predictable. 5H has an effervescence, quirk, youthful appeal, and likeability factor, and sorry I do think that Dinah & Lauren from that group could rival Carly’s vocal talents any day of the week.

I really think 5H will be the breakout artist of this year’s show! Looking at the success of Little Mix in Europe after the X Factor, I’m sure these girls will be marketed the same. There is something different about this group. They are very likeable, charismatic, pretty, and versatile in their music. People seem to think they will make the same type of music as on the X Factor. Keep in mind they will be working with professional songwriters and producers now. The sky is the limit for them!

I think Carly Rose will be the most successful. She has international support and her x factor songs have had the most views than any other contestants. I can’t wait to buy her album! I reckon she will be bigger than Jackie Evancho. Whereas fifth harmony will never be big. Girl groups are never as popular as boy groups,

I thought that the winner was a schmaltzy, not particularly talented con artist riding on Yank’s love for country music and voters falling for his spin.
On other hand, Carly who is a genuine revelation, was weighted down with a tramp of a mentor (Spears behaviour was bordering on being retarded), who managed to cause Carly’s decline through the competition (idiot Britney-like clothing, weird song choices). If you disagree, watch Carly singing the same song during auditions and show finale.
However, Carly has got time and extraordinary talent on her side.

I was so sad when Carly Rose didnt win X Factor. I really do hope that she gets a record deal. Her voice is absolutely amazing and breath taking. I have bought all of her songs and I will buy any album that she puts out.

My money is on Carly Rose, in fact I’ve already bought every song and even made my own from her private covers and the X Factor songs prior to the live shows. 5H and E3 just don’t do anything for me, personally, but I’m sure they have their following. Carly, on the other hand, has an effect on me like no one ever has before. I hang on every note coming out of her mouth. She’s timeless!!

Only one true and pure talent : Carly Rose Sonenclar, best young singer ever.
The others sound like marketing opportunities.

Carly Rose Sonenclar is one of those people that come along and presents a rare opportunity to make a difference in the world of music, she reminds you what pure raw talent is really all about. Her natural talent is epic and we need her to entertain and inspire us! We can’t afford to let her slip by, she is and will be one of the historic greats of our time if given the opportunity to continue to be heard by the masses. She is one of those rare individuals that leaves you in awe whenever she performs. The talent she posesses along with an admirable degree of composure at her age is stellar and is just a hint of what is to come.
So yes world get out there and demand she be heard!

The problem with girl groups is they have a shorter shelf life than boy groups. I don’t see fifth harmony ever being as successful as Destiny’s Child, the Spice Girls, or TLC. Something is just off about them when they’re on stage. Maybe they are great friends in real life, but there’s not a whole lot to get excited about when they are performing. It’s like 5 individual singers who had a ton of help from background singers on some of their songs.

Carly Rose is THE best female singer I have ever heard!!!!! She HAS to get a record deal! And if she makes an album I’ll be the happiest person in the world :)

I really want Carly Rose Senenclar to get an album. I think she is the most marketable. I will PURCHASE her music. Already purchase “it will rain” from her. She did great.

I’m so anxious to see what Fifth Harmony and Emblem3 will come up with. This is the first time that I have ever liked groups in these shows. They were both fantastic and I can’t stop listening to Fifth Harmony’s 5 million dollar song.

I think you are right about 5H but I donot think you are paying attention to social media which is begging for an album from Carly Rose Sonenclar. You infer from the article that Simon is referring to Carly Rose in the same breath as the little Jackie Evanko. She is being a mega superstar right now with platinum albums and concerts sold out so I think Carly Rose actually has the best chance as she already has a world following (you tube, twitter).
