BGT winner Jai McDowall fails to bag record deal
The 24-year-old singer triumphed in the ITV1 talent show last Saturday (04.06.11) after impressing viewers with his version of Josh Groban’s ‘To Where You Are’ and even though he won £100,000 and a slot at this year’s Royal Variety Show, he is yet to sign anything with the show’s boss Simon Cowell.
He told BBC Breakfast: “Simon spoke to me after the final but said he is very busy with American ‘X Factor’ at the moment. After the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ tour I will hopefully sit down and discuss what is going to happen.”
While Jai is yet to sign a deal, it has been claimed the show’s runner-up Ronan Parke is set to recieve a £1 million recording contract.
The 12-year-old singing sensation — who was the bookies’ favourite to win the ITV1 show — will reportedly be offered a lucrative contract by Sony Music in the hope he will become Britain’s answer to Justin Bieber.
However, the label is keen to keep news of the deal quiet for a while because of the controversy caused by allegations suggesting Simon “planted” the youngster on the show and had signed him up when he was just 10.
