Verdict Of "Factor X" Early Simon Cowell Has Beaten Again
Last year, after a sad farewell to "American Idol" season 9 final, Simon Cowell gave him the show, who built (or, some would say, the show that he built) to launch its own jurisdiction, not only different talents Fox, "The X Factor". He was one of the largest in the history of television career Paris - not only because it leads to a lawsuit against Fox, "American Idol" creator. Simon, not only strutted away from a $ 36 million "American Idol" Paycheck (and rumors of a $ 100 million!) And the main television in the United States, but left his job as judge "Got British Talent "and the British version of" The X Factor "to focus on his new U.S. series Simon. "Factor X in the UK" co-stars Cheryl Cole has also left to join the American "X Factor" cast - only to be unceremoniously fired and sent back to the UK after a couple of recordings in the United States. In addition, legendary music executive LA
Reid left his home in Concert Island Def Jam to join "The X Factor United States", and Nicole Scherzinger, replacing Cheryl, left his position as a judge on "The Sing-Off". Finally, Sony Music ponied up a $ 5 million, the largest cash prize in the history of the reality of competition.
So now, Simon is back and ready to put your money (a reported new $ 75 million salary), and Sony's money where his mouth is great. And also met with former "American Idol" co-stars Paula Abdul, the television appearance was with Simon when roasted past him / her on the grill of the aforementioned "American Idol" dismissal. However, "The X Factor" is to enter a market and a full reality, filled with shows like NBC's surprise hit "The Voice", which has a similar court-trick as mentors, and of course "American Idol "which managed to survive (and indeed prospered) without both Simon and Paula. Uh-oh. Maybe Simon has made a serious error.
Well, this Wednesday, "The X Factor United States" had its world premiere a week before its debut at the September 21 Fox ArcLight theater in Hollywood. It was the first opportunity to select members of the public to attend the show - on a large screen with a sound system that amplifies the voice of all competitors of defects - and the question in the minds of everyone in the movie, including me it was: Was it worth it, Simon?
na word, yes. In two words, hell yes. It was a real TV popcorn, folks. Simon has recently argued that the Fox people would be happy if he and Paula had been "American Idol" for ever, but Fox executives should be pretty happy. Judging by the fans yelling and screaming into the night Wednesday theater - and, judging by the compulsively watchable attractions of the show "X Factor" test in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Seattle - Simon has done it again. His gamble paid off. He and Fox seems to be another success in his hands.
I must admit that when all the noise 'X Factor', which was a mixture of practice, because Simon announced he was leaving "Idol" I was a bit 'skeptical. A part of me wanted to present themselves may fail, just a little ', only to hit the egocentric Simon grounded. But now, when I saw this screening, I totally drink the "X Factor" Kool-aid (or Pepsi, so to speak). September 21 honestly can not come soon enough for me.
But if you're still not convinced, read on. And then set your DVR for next week.
6 reasons to watch:
1) "The X Factor" is "Idol" on steroids - is no secret that Simon Cowell has a huge ego and a good salary ... and now he has a big, big show match. All about "X Factor" is overwhelming oversized: the hearings live inside the amphitheater, the turnout record of the hearing, the values of mass production. And the talent is just as powerful big. At this rate, the next season of Simon really consider keeping the "X Factor" premiered in an IMAX theater.
2) straight from Paula Abdul - The "Idol", Paula was known for his less lucid moments (criticizing a song Jason Castro had yet to sing, fantasized aloud about moving his head from a spongy David Archuleta of his mirror, drawing Sharpie mustache on Simon face, lip-synching to his own singing and clapping like a seal of the circus.) But during the "X Factor" Premiere, Paula was about. Oh, do not worry, she was still loopy and lovable, and she and Simon are still visible, a former married couple chemistry. (In fact, when you are actually old married couple tried to show, Simon joked: "It could be us in 10 years!"), But Paul seemed to take his new role seriously - and it should because it ' is a rare chance that it should be extremely grateful - and the word itself is a hand in the choreography of the show developed, too.
3) Simon finally met his match - If anyone in the music industry with an ego that can not obscure the Simons, it could be LA Reid. From the moment I saw the pictures of glamorous Los Angeles slo-mo look at him, eyes Stern and steel, in unshakeable "X Factor" camera lens, I knew he meant. And when I saw a montage of him repeatedly sparring with Simon, I could see why these two alpha males Sat distant at the opposite end of the table of judges. LA may be the right "mean judge" in this show, and Simon better watch his black T-shirts back.
4) Cheryl Cole gets really time to the screen - the scandal that ensued when Cheryl got the boot (nice, he and Simon are not yet able to speak), I assume that he had not written 'show, and never spoke, and once again, as the older brother of Richie Cunningham 's "Happy Days" or the first little brother is "The Partridge Family". But instead, the British beauty was an important place in the "X Factor" segments in Los Angeles ... and guess what? Cheryl did a great job, and her accent was a big problem perfectly understandable. Of course, when it was suddenly replaced by Nicole and had no explanation for his mysterious disappearance, it was a disappointment, it's a shame you did not get to stay and prove his worth this season. But at least he could not finish the cutting room floor.
5) There will be drama - you dig classic bad auditions? Well, you'll love Alex Alexander, a king of chips around the shoulders dramatic cited "for Whitney Houston before she lost," as his main influence, described his style as "Donald Trump meets Martha Stewart no jail time meeting Beyonce Britney Spears responds without the ugly man ", started by the mouth of Simon when he hit the stage and burst into tears (as Paula accused of infringement), because judges he refused. Or maybe you want to be entertained by Godley pants-dropping weird Gio as a full-frontal flashing the audience while warbling the song totally misleading original title "I'm a stud" - causing a disgusted Paula escape into the hallway, suffering from dry heaves.
And if you're the kind of reality viewers more moved by the stories back weepy, so make sure you have a little two-ply fabric lends this season, as many unlucky participants shared stories about domestic violence, child poverty, single parenthood and fighting drug for 90 minutes first emotion.
6) Simon Cowell is the best judge of the reality shows. Period. - Thanks to Simon, it now appears that all the TV talent show should have a rough, grouchy Brit, firing directly to the jury. "America 's Got Talent" Piers Morgan, "Dancing With The Stars' Len Goodman," So you think you can dance "is Nigel Lythgoe," Top Model "is Nigel Barker and Gordon Ramsay has practically become its own brand of reality. There is a reason for this: Simon set the pattern of the judges of reality long ago, as it is simply the best in the business. And it still is. It's good to welcome him.
6 contestants to watch:
1) Francisco Stacy - Stacy a little screen time in a serious promotion of eight minutes, which was developed at Fox last week, but the audience of the mother of 42 years, one was even more impressive. There was not a dry eye in the ArcLight she shared her sad story of emotional abuse, lost opportunities and dreams deferred, and sang his heart, his voice full of pain and life experience. It is easy to see Stacy in 'X Factor' final.
2) Simon Battle - Bootylicious His pride and a red satin booty shorts, the 21-year-old son sassy diva impressed by his style of Simon (E 'interesting, a mix of self-described "cheerleader, hipster, and drag queens ") and the exuberant release of the Pussycat Dolls fame 'Fantasy Anthem" great ". (Cheryl of the panel that day, so that the PCD Nicole missed the presentation, unfortunately.) Perpetual contrarian LA Reid was inexplicably unenthusiastic, but Simon loved Simon's courage and cunning, and went to fight for the Battle of Miss . Fortunately, this is one of LA / Simon in which Simon has won the battle, because I think that Simon would be a real star.
3) Marcus Canty - This beautiful 20 years soulman mowing the lawn for a moment of life, but soon you can cut the competition. After Marcus has done a wonderful contagious Stevie Wonder "I Wish", the LA compared with the first of the era Bobby Brown, while Simon has been compared to Usher. However, the two judges agreed on one thing: Marcus factor X. And may be just the type of current investment, R & B, dance amazing feeling, for some reason, "American Idol" has never been able to find.
4) Melanie Amaro - This 18-year-old girl next door does not look like a popstar, but when she opened her mouth, sounded great belty, Beyonce-esque voice that left the audience stunned and judges. "You have the gift. All I have left the 'The X Factor", you have done is worth it, "LA told him. Simon told participants that Melanie is the reason he this show started in the first place. And perhaps the best compliment came from adoring younger sister Melanie, who enthusiastically exclaimed with tears, "You are my role model! You are my role model! "Aw. Many see Melanie viewers at home can quickly do the same.
5) Chris Rene - clean and sober for 70 days only at the time of the hearing, the drug addict 28 years of age, the recovery of drugs and the father of a child took a risk with an original song hip-hop number on his turbulent past, but worth it. The Swagger Man for the day, and the song was surprisingly solid. "I've worked with some of the greatest artists of hip hop, and all my children would be proud of me to tell you the truth," said Simon LA raved, was considered "a star of the meeting for the first time," and Chris said, "Maybe you need the program, or perhaps what we need." LA has made Chris promise to stay on track if the show they do suffer, and Chris gave his word. Frankly, I'm a little worried about Chris, 70 days of sobriety is not very long, and the stress of competition on live television can be a little more of this type. But I'm rooting for him, and I bet that many of the United States will be too.
6) Siameze - It Siameze if you want. And this guy was certainly a flashy crowd pleaser. The androgynous showboat with a blown Rihanna Bob and funky James Brown-kick split moves gave an unbalanced performance by Rick James glittering 'Give It To Me Baby ", which sometimes bordered to be an imitation of the circa-Dirty mind Prince, while Justin Darkness Treble yell DID sound like Satchmo Hawkins. Siameze but was absolutely fascinating, and in terms of pure stage, he was winner of the night. Cheryl Cole could not determine if "genius or strange. " Simon called him "talented, but misguided." But against different opinion Lone LA is adamant wishes, he Siameze through the next round. If he ends up winning $ 5 million grand prize, it could use some of that money to finance his dream of others, to create its own "Siamenergy" drink. Maybe Siamenergy may even be the official drink of the season 2!
