With the UK X-Factor's new judging line-up proving a roaring success this side of the pond, show creator Simon Cowell's flat-board hair must be standing on end right about now as he prepares to release the much anticipated US version of the hit talent show which launched the careers of JLS, Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis. So much so he released an 8 minute preview to get the American people in the mood for all things X-Factor related.
Has it done the trick? Not on first glance. I've never really been a fan of Paula Abdul so I'm not all that impressed with her contribution to the show. L A Reid is going to be fantastic just hear him give advice as you know he is going to have some wise words to pass on and even Nicole Scherzinger who killed about 8 people's dreams to get where she is today has the relevance of the industry, the reality show background and being in one of the top-selling girl groups of all time.
Simon Cowell is Simon Cowell. No more needs said.
The clip does showcase some amazing talent as well as the not so capable auditionees, something we have all come to know and detest from the UK version. Oh and if you look real close you might just see our 'National Treasure' Cheryl for about 3 seconds. Nicely edited guys!
X-Factor USA kicks off September 21. Mariah Carey and Rihanna are so far linked to be helping Simon and LA Reid when it comes to the picking the final acts at the judges homes. Wonder who Nic will pick? It won't be a Pussycat Doll since she regularly puts sleeping tablets in their food so they won't sing or say anything bad about her...Paula Abdul will probably bring back her animated dancing cat.
Take a look at the 8 minute teaser below and see X-actly what you think of the US sneak peek.
