Simon Cowell is gearing up for what could possibly be the launch of the most successful US talent show to ever hit the airwaves. In an effort to build buzz for the show, the music mogul has boldly announced that the winner of this fall’s ‘The X-Factor US’ will receive an astounding $5 million recording contract.
Check out more details that Simon revealed about the format of the new programme below:
$5 million?! It looks like Simon is ready to challenge the ‘American Idol’ machine with everything he has to offer. Undoubtedly, such a proposition will attract singers from from all genres of music to enter the contest, especially since the allure of ‘Idol’ has faded and it no longer draws the crop of talent that it did in the 1st 3 seasons.
Let the games begin! Isn’t that right KiKi?
holy s***..imma move to the US!
TALK ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT!!! PUNCHHH SIMON
yay… x factor bosses have eyed nicole scherzinger as the official judge…thats GREAT
US here I come … S*** !
WTF??? 5million … *warming up* do re mi fa so la ti do …
I still like A.I. better right now though! It’s a hit with Jlo!
*NEW* Check out my blog: Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com (where there’s a place for EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING has it’s place).
Yall here that??? The biggest talent is in the U.S.!! BOOM! Example: MJ, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Prince, Usher, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears….Shall I continue?
wow, this should be good. the U.S. does have the best talent in the world right now
@JJFAN1814 too bad all those people except Mariah Carey you mentioned are in the Illuminati that’s the reason why they are so successful I swear you people are so gullible open your eyes the US is such a evil corrupted country
Trueee BUT… If the UK were as BIG as the the US… It would be the other way around!
ANY INFORMATION ON AUDITIONS?
5 MILLION!? Wow. Simon is not playing. Was this a superbowl ad? I must have missed it. Anyways, Simon, you are not going to find another gaga/britney/beyonce type on a tv talent show. lol but ill have fun watching anyway
@Kwon Campbell
I dont know if you’re serious or not but I guess go to fox.com/theXfactor like it says on the commercial. Theres probably info there
@JJFAN1814 Most of those artists you just mentioned are american (except for rihanna who is from Barbados?) yes but are probably more successful all around the world, so shut it with your delusional remarks!!
@hushbitch yeah well it isn’t and anyway the UK are just as bad some English artists are starting to indulge in the illuminati mess *shrugs* I don’t live in the UK Europe yes UK no
@GABS, IM VERY SERIOUS!! IM BOUT TO SNATCH THIS 5 MIL! LOL!!
Just to let the previous idiot know, Rihanna is from Barbados aha
So now we are gonna have two singing talent shows in the US? Isn’t that a bit too much? However, it would be funny if US X-Factor took a lot of AI ratings.
THIS SHOW IS GOING TO OFFICIALLY KILL AMERICAN IDOL.
weell said kyle
cant wait for this, so gonna try out for it! been waiting forever
sorry but idols aint going anywhere!
That GIF was everything! HAHA
Bye Bye American Idol!! Punch!
OMG, that’s incredible! On AI it was just a measly 100,000 contract. Simon is a smart businessman and I hope that it blows AI out of water because it’s so tired and wack now, especially since they have JNO’s untalented, hypocritical ass on ther! Simon made AI what it was.
Xfactor in the uk is massive, it gets near on 20 million viewers in the uk, so in america, it could get double that.
I agree with Kyle as well, and I still can’t get over J.Lo judging a singing talent.
Simon is gonna really bring it with X-Factor, and I can’t wait for the ratings to come in.
Maybe he’ll get Mariah as a guest judge, because he has been trying. Beyonce would be a great judge as well. These ladies can actually SING.
5 million Simon? This + t.v. exposure will bring ALL types out for these auditions. What I like about X- factor is that they do get to have full on performances, which can be enjoyable.
Maybe he can find the next _____ with this show because that carrot he is dangling is SERIOUS!
Expect more illuminati wannabees
ala Matt Cardie
as part of the initiation will the winners all have to recieve satanic sloppy seconds
from Rihannas luciferian herpie hoopch?
Why can’t people understand that Rihanna is Bajan? I don’t get it lmao.
MY GOODNESS AMERICAN IDOL IS AS GOOD AS DEAD FIRST OF ALL IT DOESNT HAVE SIMON NOR 5,000,000 DAMN!!!!
Um..Sony is bleeding right now..album sales are off by 15% this year..MJ gone and they did not meet the sales that they wanted for the packages demo set las xmas. They better hope US radio jumps on board with the winner or it’s over…Sony better start cutting the payola checks early…without radio play, the US xfactor winner will sink…and only sell during the xmas holiday like Susan Boyle…if Simon is trying to compete with Gaga, Rihanna, Britney, etc…he needs the winner to get played on the radio like them…
IT’S GONNA BE AMAZING!
TEH X FACTOR JUST DOESN’T EXPLODES THE CONTESTANTS’ VOCAL TALENT BUT ALSO THEIR ABILITIES AS PERFORMERS. THEY MAKE COMPLETE RECORDING ARTISTS.
I’D LIKE SIMON, NICOLE, CHERYL AND SOMEONE ELSE AS JUDGES FOR THE US VERSION!!! =D MAYBE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE OR TIMBALAND WOULD MAKE A GREAT JUDGE.
