‘The X Factor’ USA notes: New Carly Rose Sonenclar and Fifth Harmony interviews
Do you have about an hour of free time? If so (and if you love “The X Factor” USA), then you are not going to want to turn away from this page for some time.
We’ll start with the lengthy interview that Fifth Harmony gave a little earlier this weekend to Clevver TV, which include a vast myriad of topics when it comes to music, their excitement about recording an album (which is still in the very early planning stages), what it was like for each band member returning back home after the show, and some other general questions that are just fun. It’s one of the few opportunities we’ve had to hear from the group collectively since the competition ended, and therefore it allows for a better opportunity to see their personalities when editors are not part of the equation.
The only downside of this interview is the Google Hangout format. We have seen this on a few shows over the past several months, but there are a still kinks to be work out here when it comes to background noise and making sure some guests do not pop in and out of the broadcast. We also wish the individual members were featured a little bit more rather than just the two interviewers (which were in the top video for the majority of the video).
Carly Rose’s interview – For those of you who are anxiously awaiting details on Carly Rose Sonenclar’s possible record deal, she gave as many details as she could in an interview with WABC Radio on Saturday night.
Here’s what Carly was actually able to announce: she just decided on who she wants to manage her career moving forward, and right now her fate with Syco lies firmly in their hands. They have a little bit of time in order to decide still what they want to do with her, and if they do not opt to sign for whatever reason she could seemingly have an opportunity to go out and pursue a deal elsewhere, but of course they have the first-look rights thanks to her participation in the show.
We would personally be surprised if the teen phenom does not end up walking away with a deal, mostly because her talent is well-documented on the show and with her being so young, there is still so much room to grow. The long wait could just be due to the label attempting to figure out what the perfect fit for her would be.
The rest of the interview includes some more details about Carly’s upcoming StageIt show next week, and also just how she is adapting to live away from being on television.

I also go to school with Carly. She’s not rude, mean, or stuck up. She is quiet and keeps to herself. She has a group of friends she’s always been friends with since elementary school. But she’s always been nice. It is strange seeing her at school when she was on tv. The first day back, there was a lot of people asking for an autograph or to take a picture with her. There are some girls who bother Carly for the Emblem boys phone numbers. Cuz she knows them. That would be the only way certain girls at our school would talk bad about her.

Hahaha just some bored little girl making up lies cause she knows Carly has more talent than all of the other contestants combined! And if you wanna talk about fake? 5H are so full of themselves it’s disgusting that girl camilla I think is her name? Does she think she’s God’s gift to the world or what? 5H will either do nothing or break up within a couple of years when one of them decides to go solo. BACK TO CARLY She’s the sweetest thing ever! I think one of the 5H girls is 18 right? And Carly is so far beyond them in maturity it’s crazy. have you heard her talk? She sounds like an adult!

Angelica, it is preposterous how anyone can say nasty things about Carly Rose. Think of all the youngsters you have every seen on any reality TV show; heck, add the adults for that matter. I can’t think of any who were more poised and gracious. The girl is a gem, pure and simple. Seeing people like her, especially one so young, gives me so much inspiration, and I am in my 60’s. She will definitely do great things in her life, regardless of a music career.

i was at the parade yesterday and carly was amazing and very sweet, she couldnt stop smiling and waiving the whole time. her speech to us (the fans) was so sweet and kind and she was so thankful to everyone and to her fans. i also met like several girls that actually know carly from school and they all had nice things to say about her, so idk what ur talkin bout angelica! i have a really loud voice and i screamed carly’s name out super loud, i was only like 10 feet from her and she heard me and looked right at me and smiled and waved to me, it was PRICELESS…i love her so much!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t get why people like to attack Carly for her personality. She’s not mean to anyone. She doesn’t say anything rude to anyone. She works with kids charities. And yet people find nothing wrong with Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony. Lauren is proud to be Sassy, but I think its a mean spirited type of sassy. Need proof? >>Lauren’s friends talk sh*t about so many people and call people bitches. Erica Timmons, Lauren’s friend, called Carly a bitch a couple of weeks ago. She’s never met her. So I think she’s saying it because it’s Lauren’s opinion. Why else would Lauren’s brother say bad things about Carly and Emblem 3? I think the fact that Lauren thought ally was fake because she was nice says a lot about Lauren. I like 4/5 of 5H because I think Lauren is mean.

Angelica, girl why are you following carly on twitter if you don’t like her? Jealous much? And who are these imaginary friends who know carly? You don’t mention which friends specifically. How do you know anyone who was with carly during the xfactor?you obviously don’t know anyone who was on the xfactor since you obsessively tweet Emblem 3. You’re just making sh*t up because that picture you posted you never say your friends name.

Angelica your friend obviously does not know Carly AT ALL. She takes time out to work with sick children and is nice to each and every fan. I was at the parade yesterday too and the fans were crowding her and she couldn’t even eat at the restaurant after the parade. She still stopped and posed with each and every one. I think YOU are rude for spreading rumors like that about a such a wonderful 13 year old girl!

I went to the parade yesterday and even though Carly was inundated with fans she was polite and just as sweet as can be to each and every person. She is most certainly NOT rude. The furthest thing from it, actually.

My friend met Carly today and got a pic with her but she said carly wasn’t really nice. In fact most of the people I know who go to school with carly say she’s rude. If u want to see the picture my twitter is @bosstosswes

Carly had a photo shoot yesterday with Raine Magazine. And she mentioned getting a manager. That’s it. There’s no new news on her and a record deal. She’s just waiting on Simon and Syco, his label, to see if they will sign her or not. It’s actually really dumb of Simon because Carly has a large fan base.

Yay! finally news of carly getting signed! im so happy for her , im sure she will go so far in the future. She deserves this contract and i hope she starts making an album . im so excited for it.
Carly & 5H

Funny how a lot of people talk bad about Simon and his label yet Carly has nothing but praise for him. A lot of people don’t want her to sign with Syco but his actually done a great job of surrounding Tate, 5H, and Emblem 3 with platinum writers and producers. If you are worried about the money you shouldn’t be. Her parents are ver intelligent and her mother is a savvy businesswoman that I’m sure Carly won’t get scammed. My thought is that Carly will be perfectly fine with Simon’s label because he’s seen her and gotten to know her and her parents already.

I’m so happy for 5H. I also heard that after Emblem 3 was eliminated they were contacted by syco reps. So they knew early on that they were going to be signed to a deal. The strombergs mom followed columbia records after the finale. Hopefully E3 and 5H collab on something. Or tour together. Either one works

Yea even tho Dinah and Normani weren’t there it was nice to hear who they’d like to collab with. And the most amazing info was that the nite of the x factor finale Simon Cowell told Fifth Harmony that he was going to sign them to a record deal. It makes sense becuz the girls had an official website up the day after the x factor finale becuz it said syco at the bottom of the page. That means Simon wanted to sign them early on. I CAN’T wait for their album!!

So many things were revealed during the google hang out with Fifth Harmony. Like Camila being intimidated by Lauren. And Lauren saying she thought Ally was fake because she was too nice and sweet. And Camila thought Normani hated her at first. I wish Normani and Dinah were included in the chat but they couldn’t bc of technical difficulties. ILY Fifth Harmony!

Have you already thought that actually she doesn’t want to sign with Syco? There are many other record companies to go. Of course she prefers to listen to them before decides what to do. I really don’t think Syco would be the best for her. But she still have to wait a couple of days until she can sign with another label not named Syco.
