"Ella Henderson is reportedly the subject of a record label bidding war. Four Sony subsidiaries, including Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s Syco, are negotiating to sign up the recently-eliminated X Factor contestant, according to The Sun.  &amp;quot;Ella is the most exciting thing to have come out of this year&amp;#039;s X Factor,&amp;quot; a source told the paper. &amp;quot;Simon can&amp;#039;t believe she got the boot, but he&amp;#039;s not losing any sleep over it as he can see the pound signs in his eyes. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s confident Syco will get her, but if she goes elsewhere within Sony he&amp;#039;s still quids in.&amp;quot;  The other labels said to be interested in signing Henderson are Columbia, Epic and RCA, the latter of which is home to former X Factor hopeful Aiden Grimshaw. The 16-year-old&amp;#039;s father and manager Sean is said to be holding negotiations with the labels, although if a deal is confirmed, it is not expected to be announced until after this year&amp;#039;s X Factor final. Henderson recently told Digital Spy that she believes there is &amp;quot;a reason&amp;quot; for her early departure.
