anne, I'm sure some people enjoyed X factor, I did myself at one time, But I stopped watching it a long long time ago.
There have been some good acts on over the years, and most of them went on to have good careers, but a lot did well at first and then went off the radar.
I gave up a few years ago. Unfortunately the auditions were frequently more "entertaining" than the rest of the program...and not always in a good way.
This will be a fantastic opportunity for the Cowell empire to sit back, wait, then give the public what 'he' wants by relaunching it all over again in one form or another. It's a cash cow, no one drops a cash cow!
