Are You Excited For ‘The X Factor USA’?

With September now upon us, it can only mean one thing – the launch of The X Factor USA!

And judging by the number of billboard’s we saw during our time in LA covering the VMA’s, its home network Fox are banking on the show matching the success of its UK counter-part – and then some – when it premieres on September 21st.

However, we couldn’t help but notice how muted buzz for the show seemed from the most important corner – the audience.

As such, we want to know – are you checking for the Stateside incarnation of The X Factor and the many differences it boasts from similar themed shows such as ‘American Idol’?

Peep the show’s latest promotional video, and make your voice heard in our poll below…

    “Are you checking for X-Factor USA?”

    In a word? ..NO!

    Just how many of these talent shows are we to stand? Just HOW are we to take any of these X-Factor shows seriously, when the choices of Judges/Mentors are, AT BEST, “suspect” and…”UNmotivating”..!!

    (Meh..) The tone-deaf, blind and clueless, leading the tone-deaf, clueless and delusional..

    (Again, I’ll ask..)How is the “marginally talented” and “unable to move CDs” 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland to “mentor and judge”?

    “…Contestant #2, you need to tighten-up on your vocals and your dancing is much-too stiff”

    “Oh, OK, Ms. Kelly! Oh, Kelendria, how much Platinum U.S. OTC Retail CDs have YOU sold? And it took HOW LONG for “Motivation” to go platinum?? Do you think if I flashed BOTH my tits, it’d help..?? And Ms. Kelly, what’s up with your 5-LOOOONG-Weeks and only 133K-US OTC Units moved?”

    (..Crickets and Rustling Leaves..)

    X,Y,”and Z” – OUT..!!

    …no…

    Kelly Rowland is on the X-Factor in Europe where as although her cd isnt doing as YOU had hoped but it doing fantastic to the expectations of Kelly and her team. Kelly CAN sing and Kelly CAN dance……many believe she would be great at helping other attain the same.

    Eh, It’s basically just an amped up version of Idol and I liked The Voice, so I’m biased.

    I’ll probably tune in at first but if the judges get on my nerves and the talent is sub par, I’ll probably tune out quickly.

  9. XYZ September 2, 2011

    @ T-Blaze re:9:33 am —

    So it’s “wishful thinking” and “do as I say, NOT as I do?”

    When’s the last time you saw a driving instructor, whose never before, sat behind the wheel?
    When’s the last time you saw the pilot of a jumbo jet whose afraid of heights?

    “Ms. Kelly, what does a C# sound like?”
    “Ah…ah..don’t worry ’bout how you sound. It’s what you look like that matters – show them your tits!”

    “Ms. Kelly, teach me how to Dougie..!!”
    “Whose that?” Wanna see me do the “Running Man/Robo Cop”? That was big, back in my day – when I had a hairline; back in the 80’s..!!”

    “Ms. Kelly, what does a Platinum CD look like?”
    “Oh, I go over to Beyonce’s house and dust hers off A-L-L the time!”

    “Ms. Kelly, I bet you have more Platinum CDs than Beyonce!”
    “Hush your mouth, Child! You better not let them crazed Beyonce fans hear you!!”

    “Ms. Kelly, I bet “Here I Am” is ALREADY Platinum!!”
    “Platinum..?!! Honey.. I got a white man. I’m good.. And if all-else fails, it’s back to “bed-warming in Europe” for your Auntie Kelendria!!”

    “Ms. Kelly, how you gonna tour with Chris Brown and you ain’t sold no Albums? Whose gonna buy tickets to come see you?”
    “Child, you Auntie K got-her a scam going. My plate is empty! So, I’mma “eat-off everybody’s else(Chris, Tyga, Big Sean, T-Pain) plate”..!! “..See a fool, use a fool,” is what your Auntie-K always says..!!

    “Dammmmnnnn, “Auntie K”, I’mma be JUST like you..!!”

  18. LaLa September 2, 2011

    clicked: Undecided

    after watched the audition preview, it looks like America’s Got Talent Audition (rather than The Voice live audition). I’ll be tuning the first episode… Hopefully this wont be an American Idol all over again (simon x paula case).

  19. IS†ANN4GAGA September 2, 2011

  23. MissImpartial September 2, 2011

    No I am over Simon Cowell.

  24. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 2, 2011

    No.I don’t even care about the winner’s name.

  25. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 2, 2011

    I’m only checking for ‘The Voice’.I am truly bored of the ‘American Idol’/’X-Factor’ format.The winner is hardly ever a breathtaking talent and the staging is boring and uneventful.And the judges are always irrelevant or industry people who don’t know anything about music. *yawns

  26. NATE September 2, 2011

    I’m not here for this show at all! Nicole is the only real singer, and that’s not saying too much. Im so over Simon Cowell egotistical self..

    I will wait for THE VOICE, I have a feeling the second season will smash harder than the first!

  27. Aryo September 2, 2011

    F*** YEAH, whoever says no is most probably a cheryl fan from uk cuz she aint got no fans in US , haha

  28. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN September 2, 2011

    -Misses cheryl cole-

  29. SHESDUMB (GAGA,JANET, AND PRINCE STAN) 19/F/FL September 2, 2011

    I WISH IT WOULD COME ON ALREADY CAUSE LAURIEANN’S ASS IS ANNOYING. I BET SHE DONT BE SHOUTING AND FUSSING AT GAGA LIKE THAT, GAGA WILL FIRE HER ASS LIKE DIDDY DID YEARS AGO.

  30. ㄕѺㄕ 尺Ѻㄚムしイㄚ ( 尺ŲÐ乇 乃Ѻㄚ ) September 2, 2011

    X-FACTOR USA > X-FACTOR UK

    THE VOICE > AI > X-FACTOR

    #BYE !

  31. nice_gurl September 2, 2011

    Will watch youtube videos online of the best and worst performances. Most are just boring. I can’t wait for The Voice.

  32. Wordshaker September 2, 2011

    Those judges aren’t exciting at all.
    Paula Abdul – Who the hell she is? Meeeh. just mess.
    Nicole S*ckzinger. Yuck.
    L.A Reid WTF.

    Simon. I love him in the Uk Show, but I don’t sympatize with him anymore.

  33. Leon September 3, 2011

    I watch and love The Voice as well but i doubt many of you know that X Factor came to life in 2004 before The Voice ever came about. The Voice basically took the concept of it’s show from the X Factor seriously just look at the 2. Idk how nobody hasn’t noticed but anyway if you like The Voice I’m pretty sure you’ll love X Factor. X Factor is gonna be AWESOME! Just watch the premiere and you’ll see how great it is!!!!

  34. Jack Pelgrave September 3, 2011

    The UK version is in to its 8th season now, and the UK show is so much better, funnier, because in USA there is also American Idol, so we all know what it is going to be like, but UK only have X factor as the singing competition because they replaced pop idol with x factor in 2004 so they will have more good and bad people, but X Factor USA will get not as big a mixture or not as many because some may audition for AI, And UK have Xtra Factor which is all the behind the scenes gossip and that is amazing. X FACTOR UK = WOOOOOO
    X FACTOR USA = EHH

  35. maya September 3, 2011

    u will never know what will happen but simon cowell will try his best to make it success, paula and simon are famous in america and to be honest they made american idol people love them and for nicol she is a lovely women so no problem for her and for the LA raid he seems to be simon cowell black man so it may be a huge hit but also paula abdul had a floped show and nicol she was not successfull as a solo singer in america may be scored some hits so it may depends on simon and it will show how stronge is he, simon is not a strong personality as alote of people think he only makes fun of people in auditions but he really cant speaks his mind especially in america! if people didnt like his comments he will not bring any thing to the table

  36. maria September 5, 2011

    i watched the x factor in uk and it was SOOO good way better than idol, which is basically just for country singers…and x factor has groups as well, although it would have been better with cheryl but it will be good! IDOL IS BORING
