Cowell launches X Factor in US
Millionaire music mogul Simon Cowell has confirmed reports he is taking his smash hit The X Factor to the States.
Cowell found fame with his role as a judge on Pop Idol and on American Idol in the US in 2002, earning a ‘Mr Nasty’ reputation for his cutting comments and biting put-downs.
In 2004, he launched The X Factor – a search for new singing sensations which regularly draws an audience of millions in the UK and discovered Bleeding Love hitmaker Leona Lewis.
Cowell has long been rumoured to be considering launching The X Factor stateside – and he has now confirmed it will happen.
He tells BBC’s Newsnight, “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.”
