The X Factor USA was cancelled by FOX after just three seasons. The series was brought to the USA by Simon Cowell, and he even left his spot on the judging table on American Idol to bring X Factor to television screens in America.
However, the series never lived up to expectations on this side of the Atlantic. The UK counterpart is still highly popular, and it is currently airing another season. With the return of The X Factor UK and his recent addition to America’s Got Talent, Cowell has been out and about speaking a lot, and he has now looked back at his time with The X Factor USA.
Cowell actually admitted he made some big mistakes with the reality series, and that admission might shock same fans. Digital Spy shared Cowell’s comments about The X Factor.
“Would I give American X Factor another go? Absolutely 100 percent, for sure. We got it all wrong, going in very arrogant. Again I opened my big mouth, I said we would get 20 million and as I said it I thought ‘oh my god, why did I say that?’ I should have said five because it got something like 14 which was crazily good but of course I was dead by that point. Also we couldn’t be the last show of the year, so there was American Idol, America’s Got talent, dance show, two versions of The Voice. t was overkill and I was exhausted before we even started watching it. I do still think as a music show it is the best one out there.”
Would anything be different if The X Factor aired now? With American Idol getting ready to exit, FOX would have the room for The X Factor to return. There is still a heavy amount of reality competition series on air right now. The Voice is not going anywhere. It will air season 10 with Christina Aguilera’s return to panel next spring. America’s Got Talent will air this summer.
Right now, this is just Simon Cowell talking. Would FOX really consider bringing back ? Would you watch the show if it returned? Tell us what you think.

When American Idol comes to an end, Fox should consider about reviving The X Factor USA for a fourth season. Simon Cowell would be very busy judging America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor UK. Fox once said that they weren’t renew the show for a fourth season without Simon on the judging panel because there is no The X Factor USA without him. I really think that Fox should reconsider about bringing the show back for season four without Simon Cowell on the judging panel. Just find some new judges, please.
I agree. I’ll definitely watch it when it comes back next year.
Yes. II would definitely watch it again. Maybe with a few tweaks it could be great. I like The Voice and the way they do it but there are parts of that as well that I would change. However, as long as Simon Cowell will be a judge I would surely watch The Xfactor again
I hop the X Factor comes back!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Let’s hope The X Factor USA comes back next year.
Come on, Simon! Get Fox to revive The X Factor USA for a fourth season since American Idol is ending it’s run next year or find another network to give it a go next year. We also need The Xtra Factor USA.
Sherry, was it really necessary to write this?
