"Simon Cowell has hinted that he will sign X Factor USA act Emblem3 to his Syco record label.  The X Factor judge spoke to reporters at Thursday&amp;#039;s live show, where he expressed a desire to keep working with the California band beyond the competition.   &amp;quot;I think there&amp;#039;s a pretty good chance [that I&amp;#039;ll sign them]. I&amp;#039;m not going to let anyone else get them,&amp;quot; Cowell quipped. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;ll be some pretty big announcements at the end of the show.&amp;quot; Emblem3&amp;#039;s Wesley Stromberg appeared pleased when told of Cowell&amp;#039;s comments after the X Factor live show. &amp;quot;That makes me feel very good,&amp;quot; Stromberg commented to The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s probably got his poker face on. He just wants us to focus on what&amp;#039;s going on so he&amp;#039;s probably not telling us that on purpose but this is awesome.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s super cool. We&amp;#039;re probably gonna do better now actually, that&amp;#039;s motivation.&amp;quot;  Emblem3&amp;#039;s Drew Chadwick previously admitted that the band has disagreed with Cowell choosing strictly commercial songs for them to perform on The X Factor in previous weeks. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re more than just [a boyband]. We&amp;#039;re real artists. We are,&amp;quot; Chadwick said last week. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s easy to get the girls [as fans]. We wanna get the guys, too.&amp;quot; The group has made The X Factor&amp;#039;s semi-finals, which air on Wednesday (December 12) at 8/7c on Fox.
