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.
Now, American Idol is being revived by ABC. Shouldn’t The X Factor be revived, as well? Maybe by Fox, ABC, NBC or CBS?
When or if The X Factor gets revived, Fox, Syco and FremantleMedia North America should find some new judges. Like MC Hammer, Katy Perry, Madonna, Jon Bon Jovi, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Bryan Adams, Anastacia, Redfoo, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Bobby Brown, Celine Dion, Kesha, Mel B, Mariah Carey, Chris Isaak, Richie McDonald, Adam Lambert, Alex Band, Pharrell Williams, Sara Bareilles, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, R. Kelly, Taylor Swift, Michael Bolton, Shania Twain, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, Michael Buble, Lionel Richie, Jason Derulo, Enrique Iglesias, Lea Michele, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, Avril Lavigne, Stacie Orrico, Vanessa Carlton,… Read more »
Idina Menzel? Nelly? Ashanti? Alicia Keys? Nelly Furtado? Flo Rida? Pitbull? Jennifer Lopez? Richard Page? Sheryl Crow? Cyndi Lauper? Richard Marx?
Hilary Duff? Haylie Duff? Pat Benatar? Ryan Tedder? Timbaland?
Hey, guys! Have you heard? American Idol is to be revived by NBC. The X Factor deserves to be revived, as well. FremantleMedia should be talking to Fox, ABC or CBS about reviving The X Factor for a fourth season. Check this out.

I wanted to audition, I was upset when they left, I just turned 13 when they left and I missed the 2013 auditions. If you guys come back, I promise you wouldn’t be disappointed. People looked at the X Factor not only for entertainment but for a chance to be a big star and I want to be one.
Back in 2005, the Australian version of The X Factor was cancelled by Network Ten after just one season. In 2010, the show was revived for a second season by Seven Network. Now, let’s hope Fox revives The X Factor USA for a fourth season this year or next year.
Merry Christmas everybody! After Christmas, Simon could fly to America and talk to Fox about reviving The X Factor for 2017-18 season. Let’s hope it’ll happen this time.
If The X Factor USA gets revived by Fox next year, what season four needs is the Bootcamp, the six or eight-chair challenge, the Judges’ houses, wildcard, a new jukebox wheel (themes include “Disco”, “Movies”, “Fright Night”, “80s”, “Divas”, “Motown”, “Boyband vs Girlband” and “Christmas”) and a charity single. They need to make 32 or 34 episodes instead of 26 or 28 episodes.
We need The X Factor USA back on Fox next year and we also need The Xtra Factor USA on maybe not on Fox but maybe on Fox 2, Fox 4, Fox 5, Fox 6, Fox 7, Fox 8, Fox 9, Fox 10, Fox 11, I don’t know how many Fox stations there are in America but that’s exactly what I want. The Xtra Factor to be on those Fox stations.
What the show needs is the winners to appear in other commercials rather than Pepsi commercials. Such as McDonald’s commercials, Burger King commercials, Coca-Cola commercials, Sprite commercials, Fanta commercials, 7up commercials, Mentos commercials, KFC commercials, Pizza Hut commercials, Domino’s Pizza commercials, Taco Bell commercials, Wendy’s commercials, Subway commercials, Toys “R” Us commercials, Gillette commercials, Safeway commercials, Walmart commercials, Nike commercials, J.C. Penney commercials, Sunny Delight commercials, Dr Pepper commercials, Snickers commercials, Twix commercials, Kit Kat commercials, Rolo commercials, M&M’s commercials, Reese’s Pieces commercials, Skittles commercials, Whiskas commercials, Uncle Ben’s commercials, Starburst commercials, Wrigley’s chewing gun commercials, Corn Flakes commercials, Frosted… Read more »
