Do We Really Need Another Singing Competition on TV?
Now here's something we almost missed: Simon Cowell hasn't yet signed a new contract with Fox so he can continue being a judge on American Idol. Then again, the only thing that's left to be worked out are the details, but it seems those details are the ones hitting the snags. Now, there are rumors that Fox are letting Simon do one thing they never let him do before so he'll stay: bring The X Factor to these shores.That show, as we all know, is a huuuge singing competition show in the UK, bringing in not just solo artists (as is the case with Idol) but also groups. Each group--boys, girls, contestants over 25, and groups--will be mentored by one of the four judges, making it a competition of sorts. (Apart from Cowell, also judging are Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue, and Cheryl Cole, who was rumored to be joining Idol.) Best known as the show that gave us Leona Lewis, it's currently begun its latest season across the pond. Oh, and it's created and produced by a certain Simon Cowell.
