I think the real reason why Elza wanted to scout Hime was because she thought highly of the her and knew for sure she had the capability to obtain an SPR which was what Elza wanted all along- for the 9 SPRs to manifest in order for the Sun Dress to appear.

Recall how Elza belittled Yume and co at the beginning of the new season? Only wanting to scout Yume to lure Hime in....She didn't think they'd have the chance to get an SPR until ep 52 when Yume and Laura performed Stardom for the first time, showcasing their great potential. That's when she changed her view towards Four Star Academy's idols and in general, "japanese idols".
