Simon Cowell admits he could be in "huge trouble" if X Factor USA flops
19/07/2011

SIMON Cowell told how he was “bored” with X Factor before he revamped it and launched a US version.
Despite all his past success and multi-millionaire status – he also revealed how nervous he was about failure in America.
Cowell, 51, described it as the most expensive reality show ever, costing ￡2.1million an episode, and said: “This better bloody work or I am in huge trouble.”
Looking back to a low point in 2009 in Glasgow, he recalled: “I -literally stood up and said, ‘I can't do this any more'.
“So we got back on a plane. I was in a filthy mood. I thought, ‘This show is boring. I don't want to do it any more'. Then I got an idea. I wanted to shoot the auditions in an arena, like concerts.
“That's when it crossed my mind this show is absolutely coming to America.”
But the move across the Atlantic has been plagued with -problems. The -original judging line-up with Cheryl Cole started badly and she was axed.
To join him on the panel, Cowell brought in Nicole -Scherzinger, originally a co-host.
US producer LA Reid and Paula Abdul made up the foursome.
The winner of US X Factor will get a ￡3million recording contract, which ought to pull in a lot of interest when the first episode is screened on September 21.

But in the UK his success is unparalleled.
The X Factor final pulled in 19.4 million viewers in December. The Britain's Got Talent final was watched by 14 million last month.
The new X Factor season with judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa -Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Louis Walsh is already picking up momentum at auditions.
Last week US X Factor was launched with a 90-second TV promo that was well received by viewers. It portrayed a dramatic show featuring rows between the judges and lots of emotion.
There is a clip of Cowell having a nightmare with bland -auditions and dull comments from all the judges. He says: “This is exactly what would've happened on Idol.
“So many shows on TV all look the same. ‘Voices need to be heard,' blah, blah, blah.”
Two months ago Cowell seemed more confident that X Factor USA would be a hit and said: “We're gonna kick ass.” Now, like many first-time performers he has seen, he seems nervous.

额 大意说了些什么？

如果美国x人气下滑他不会当评审

The winner of US X Factor will get a ￡3million recording contract
先前USXF宣传片不是说的5M 合约么

看清货币单位- -
5M那是美元

5M USD...

X Factor USA flops 也好，反正这一季舞台肯定是极尽奢华，就看选手给不给力。。。毕竟有特色的人是可遇不可求

要是第一季收拾flop了...哎，选秀节目是不是也该歇歇了啊。

你是问被删掉的那段？
上文说到三爷对美版X感到忐忑不安............
但还是面带微笑地说起，在洛杉矶一家餐馆里，一对(没说性别，可能是一男一女，也可能两个都是同性)邀请三爷到酒店房间，观看他俩**，并评判他们是否够格参加达人比赛，他们就付给三爷十万美刀。三爷拒绝了。
