With the growing number of music driven shows on television, many question whether the X-Factor will be able to hold its own against shows like American Idol and The Voice.
After this writer viewed the exclusive advance screening of the show, I can say that the X-Factor is going to deliver! During the two-hour sneak peek, the impressive personal story editing had me laughing and crying.
Perhaps the aspect that sets this show apart from all the rest is its $5 million prize.
I got a chance to sit down and chat with Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Simon Cowell about the new show and they’re all convinced they have a winner on their hands.
Paula is thrilled to once again be working with Simon, her favorite partner in crime. LA Reid, with a diverse musical background, is embracing every moment and considers this his dream job. Simon blew me away with his charm, likeability, and yes…he still tells it like it is.
Host Steve Jones is decidedly easy on the eyes and will most certainly give competitor Ryan Seacrest a run for his money. Dare we suggest that the show is going to be a huge hit? Yep!
X-Factor premieres Wednesday, September 21, 2011 on FOX.
