The X Factor Coming To America? Most Likely!
Simon Cowell may be bringing the hit British show The X Factor over to our side of the pond.
The potential deal with Fox would have Cowell signed on to do 2 more seasons as an Idol judge while executive producing The X Factor for Fox.
Negotiations are rumored to have Cowell making $50 million for each season of Idol and in all probability a similar amount for each cycle of The X Factor.
Wowzas!
As for the judges, it's uncertain whether or not Cowell will appear on the X Factor panel. Rumored judges are former Idol judge Paula Abdul, Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole and manager Louis Walsh.
Hey Simon, here's a fab idea - make Perezzers a judge!
Yes! Yes! Yes!

Joe Francis Strikes Plea Deal!
$$$$$$$$$$
Mario get off of Teddy's brown eye!!!!!!
Judging from the artists you have signed, I would say you have NO business judging good music or talent.
Hey Simon..buy me a drink and let me sit on your lap
Oh and mario the only thing you could judge is a dick pulling contest somewhere in bum buck no where.
wow-simon looks kinda sexy in a suit!
Yes make Perez a judge then he can try and sway the votes away from anyone he thinks is against gay marriage. Fucking brilliant
Re: Long Dong Connery – ♥… Thigh lick ♥
aren't X Factor and American Idol pretty much the same stupid show? Do we REALLY need another one??
Re: Canadiana* – Im getting the oil!!!!!! ♥♥
No! No! No! The show will sink with your fat ass on it.
oh my god having perez as a judge would be amazng why hasn't anyone thought of this before!!!!!! you should deff call someone and have that idea checked out :]
no no no do NOT make perez a judge. yikes
We want Paula! Mario, not so much, I'd rather have a root canal!
No, Perez, you would SUCK as a judge. If any singer was against Gay Marriage, you would hate them rather than be judging them on their singing talent.
the show wont work without danni, she is the best judge
umm x factor is better than idol. the judges are mentors and have their own acts helping and guiding them through it. idol judges just sit then critiszing
Being a judge would interfere with your Blogger/Fashionista/Music Producer, job. Would'nt want to water your "talent" down.
Just as long as Cheryl Cole is a judge then i'll be fine
I hope Paula is one of the judges! It will be great to see paula an simon together again
why not just show x factor on american tv to save it some dignity, we have to put up shit american shows that i can make in one afternoon with 5 prostitutes a bottle of archers and 50 year old vagrant, and you have a better chance of simon sucking on your 3 inch cock before you will get on that show
yeah after you said that poker face and umbrella were the best song of this decade- its clear that you have absolutely no taste in music and shouldn't be allowed to judge squat. music isn't all about bumble gum pink and fluffy dance shit - grow up and listen to some real music.
Who the fuck are you to judge!?
you should just stick to what you are good at….
Simon SUCKS! Go away already!
Enough already!
Mario- you a judge.. dear gos what the hell do you know about music…nothing you idiot..your own tatse sucks as heard on this site daily……………………….
You are trying so hard to be in the spotlight. Your voice is incredibly annoying, any show with you would fail. No one wants to hear you speak.
the idol format is knackered, thats why we axed it years ago over here, cheryl should actually release music in america before she becomes a judge on one of their shows!
NO BODY WANTS TO SEE YOUR DISGUSTING FAT ASS ON TV FAT BODY!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND THAT YOU WOULD LAND ON FOX! GO SUCK A GOLF BALL THRU A GARDEN HOSE
Yes Simon, hire Paula
Cheryl needs to do it!
that is the STUPIDEST idea i have ever heard. who needs two of the same show???? what they NEED to do is change american idols format to the x factor format. like they did in the uk. after this season, AI is going to need a new spark. and thats changing the format. its not a drastic change at all. but something needed.
No more brits man. seriously. no more. got love for them but you gotta really search for quality industry people. plus kara would've been better suited for this show than AI but whatever. go paula!!
You could never be a judge, because you are not fair. It's your way or the highway.
WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFING POINT?!? NO. i hope its not true. I'm tired of America stealing our shows and making them poo. you already have idol which is EXACTLY the same but with a different name??? i don't get it! NO NO. better be a silly rumor.
yeah perez, you have no place in the music industry. sorry but you're a joke!
Hey "The Brit" Law & Order: UK. Suck it.
Re: tmservo – wow, we nicked law and order and the apprentice, you nicked strictly come dancing (dancing with the stars), pop idol (american idol), america's got talent was originally british but the uk version was pushed back because they lost the host so the americans got their version out first, life on mars, the office, i'm a celebrity etc etc etc
Why the fuck would they put a nobo dy like YOU ..as a judge??
You should!
I would totally watch the showw
PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA PAULA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many more shows are you lot going to steal from us???
You guys ruined The Office
But they will give it s stupid shitty name like AmericanX or something, same as they steal other things, change the name andclaim it as their own!
