The Stage Is Set! First Look At The X Factor Stage!

On Sunday, Los Angeles was treated to a first look at the U.S. edition of The X Factor when auditions kicked off at the Galen Center. All the judges were on hand – Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Cheryl Cole and Paula Abdul – and the hosts, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones were ready to start the show.

And what a show it looks like it will be! Just have a look at those sets! Pretty incredible, huh? Now, what you are looking at is what the stage will look in like in these preliminary audition rounds. The set will be changed again when it takes up its permanent home at CBS Television City in Hollywood.

Well, what do U think? So far, is it living up to the hype for U?
