Simon Cowell Definitely Wants The X Factor On American TV

We love this idea!

Simon Cowell has confirmed that British hit The X Factor will soon be heading stateside:

“I think the show will go to America. It has to go to America. There has to be an American version of the show. To not make The X Factor in the biggest market in the world would be crazy.”

The X Factor launched in the UK back in 2004 to search for the hottest new singers and it is the show that brought us the lovely and talented Leona Lewis!

We’ll be watching!
