It looks like Simon Cowell is leaving the show, American Idol. I guess he's tired of doing the same old thing. Traveling the country, listening to some good-- and some extremely bad-- singers to see who has the potential to be a star. Nine years of that would be enough for anyone.
He's bringing his show, The X-Factor, over from England. Fox will broadcast the show where Simon Cowell will be traveling the country, listening to some good-- and some extremely bad-- singers to see who has the potential to be a star.
Yeah, it's a good thing he's not doing the same old thing all over again.
I'm proud to say that I've never watched an episode of American Idol. Not one.a
ReplyDeleteMy wife likes them. It seems the Idol winners have been pretty much hit or miss though..
ReplyDeleteKelly Clarkston has done well..
So has my future ex-wife, Carry Underwood. (And I hope my wife doesn't read this blog :)
The other winners seem to have only moderate success then kinda fade away.
But I think Simon helps makes the show. He's been correct in his critiques of the singers more often than not and not afraid to say so.
Anyway.. I believe that the new show, X-Factor is produced by Cowell also.. so he'll be getting a bigger cut of the profits if the show works here.
