The singer revealed she is moving to Warner as they are keen to make her a 'big theatrical artist', but insists there is no bad blood with music mogul Cowell
JUST months after finishing as runner-up on SIMON COWELL’s X Factor, SAARA AALTO has cut ties with the music mogul.
Joining me at Bizarre HQ today for an exclusive interview she revealed she has quit Sony to sign a global record deal with Warner.
Saara said: “I was honoured I was signed to Sony. But later I felt like they weren’t the right team.
“When I met the people at Warner they were very excited about my style and making me into this big theatrical artist.”
Saara insisted there is no bad blood with Simon.
She added: “He knows. I’m doing X Factor Finland, so I’m still part of the Sony family.”
Saara is busy working on her new album, which will feature a racy track called Same Sex.
She is also heading into the studio this week to record a collaboration with X Factor winner MATT TERRY.
I can’t wait to hear it.
I DREAD to think of the diva demands at this do. MARIAH CAREY posed alongside supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL at the fashion dinner, held at New York’s The Top Of The Standard.

In a row with his team last year, he says: “I don’t want to risk ending up in that dark place again. I’ve told them over and over I won’t be able to play any more. I’ve told them it will kill me.
“I don’t want them to even entertain the idea of doing another gig. I felt s***ty. I felt terrible because I saw how happy all the fans are and I don’t f***ing like it.”
Now he is back with Top Five hit Lonely Together, featuring RITA ORA – he just won’t be playing it live for fans. That’s probably for the best.
LEWIS HAMILTON had a costume change ready at DRAKE’s 31st birthday party.

CHERYL has hit back at a fan who claimed her love life was dead after becoming a mum.
A Twitter user made the comment after Cheryl shared a link to boyfriend LIAM PAYNE’s new single Bedroom Floor.
The jealous fan then tweeted: “I heard it was more baby toys rather on the bedroom floor than clothes.”
But the singer was quick to respond by saying: “Not from where I’m looking” with a tongue out emoji.
Razor sharp as ever.
HE may be out of the game with two broken arms but ED SHEERAN already has a new collaboration lined up.

In an exclusive interview, Pixie told me: “I have been speaking to Ed about doing something together. I love Ed.
“He is brilliant and an amazing songwriter. We first met when we were 16 and auditioned for a TV drama called Britannia High.
“We’ve been friends for the past ten years.”
Pixie explained that the duet has been put on hold because of Ed’s bike-crash injuries.
She said: “I guess he can’t really play the guitar right now, which is very unfortunate.”
I’m sure he’d say the same.

ONCE IN A BLUE SHROOM: BLUE were surely feeling green after revealing their silliest moment.

KANYE KNOWS BEST: KANYE WEST doesn’t just wear the trousers with wife KIM.
