Video Preview: X Factor USA

Published: Wednesday 13th Jul 2011 by Sam

Last night saw the airing of Fox’s much anticipated US version of ‘The X Factor’. In true US fashion, the lengthy commercial, which features acting and footage from auditions, billed the show as larger than life.

Interestingly, ousted judge Cheryl Cole features no where and appears to have been erased from memory.

Anyway, check out Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and LA Reid in action below. Let the hype machine begin…

Should American Idol be worried? I say maybe; having had the fresher X Factor concept on these shores for years, as well as the fact that the negative aura surrounding the US show has now subsided, this preview suggets Fox may be onto a winner. Roll on September…

    What are they gonna do when The Voice returns?!?! I’m so over Simon Cowell, and it does look like a car commercial. The extreme product placement reminds me of American Idol, why would I want to watch another American idol?

    Is this a joke?

  11. The_truth July 13, 2011

    This seems like its trying to be the ANTI-American Idol….AI is sponsored by Coke and Ford—XFactor brought to you by Pepsi and Chevy…We’ll see how it turns out…By the way, my Twin brother will be on AI this coming season, and I know he is going to go far…

    This advertisment was such a joke.’The Simon Cowell show’ is not interesting at all.Idol is on its 9th season, so of course a brand new show is a LITTLE threat, but X Factor is going to vanish before it even surfaces.

    Idol is DONE!!!!!!!!

  15. SerferTJ July 13, 2011

    I’m still not excited over this show. I mean the only draw is Simon and Paula’s chemistry. And we’ve seen it ALL on Idol YEARS ago.
    Cheryl would have EASILY been the most interesting judge on the show.
    WAYYYYYY more interested in the new season of UK X-Factor.

    Besides, did Reid say that a performance made him want to slit his wrists???
    That sounds all kinds of inappropriate….

    @RUFFNSWEET
    Yeah, Paula had that “Live To Dance” show on CBS for one season (interestingly enough, she had the more interesting ex-PCD member, Kimberly Wyatt as a judge with her)
    But it got canceled after 1 season. Wasn’t surprised tho.

    Boring..

  18. nice_gurl July 14, 2011

    It did look like a car commercial. I don’t watch the talent shows, just watch some of the performances online.

    Do you despise Paula Abdul because she has no talent? Do you think she’s an airhead? If so this might be the casting call for you!
    You will be paid $250 for this hidden camera show. You must be 18 years or older and live in Southern California.
    Find a team of two… be the next Dynamic Duo!
