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.
Will someone please make “Bring Back The X Factor USA” on Facebook and Twitter?
I would definitely watch X factor .. I would like to audition for the compettion..
I would love to see the X Factor come back to America. I enjoy anything that Simon is either in or directing in some way
I would love to see the X Factor come back to America. I am going to miss American Idol.
I would love to see the factor return. I love Simon cowell. He makes these shows. Please bring back the X factor with Simon!
I would love for it come back it was my fav it’s amazing so yes bring it back
I loved the format. And the quality of the competition.
Yes!!! Bring xfactor back to the US!! I would definetly watch it! Simon Cowell is brilliant.
I think bringing XFactor back to the USA would be the best thing that could happen. With American Idol leaving, there is room for another singing reality show. I loved XFactor USA & watch XFactor UK & would watch every episode here as well. I truly believe they should bring it back. Everyone loves Simon-he’s a genius!!
I absolutely would watch it. Simon Cowell is a genius & if anyone can turn a show around it would be him. I will miss American Idol & do believe there is room for another singing reality competition show in America. I really hope they bring it back. He needs to bring Cheryl with him. America will fall in love with her. That is where he went wrong in the beginning. Not letting Cheryl stay.
I think there’s room for both shows. I watch them both in Australia. Absolutely upset Idol is going. Can’t you see the hope in the eyes of the contestants. Like I said there is room for both shows.
Please bring the X Factor back. I would absolutely watch it, I used to like American Idol but it stinks since Simon left and I don’t watch it anymore.
We love the show and would definitely watch
I would love to see The X Factor come back. I thank there’s a lot of natural raw talent out there to still be found and I don’t like the show it’s on NBC or whatever with the turning chairs I can’t think of the name of it that’s how much I don’t watch that show
I believe the name of the show on NBC that you’re looking for is The Voice.
Please bring back X-Factor
