So here's the king of X Factor, Simon Cowell, in the promo for X Factor USA, explaining exactly how the programme works for the three people on the planet who need it explaining to them.

We're not really sure why he's doing this, since everyone knows it starts with a sob story (one of the contestants) and ends with a sob story (most of the public when we reach the week where Jedwardgate or Wagnergate kicks in).

 

But here it is - cueing up for what must be a certain Cheryl Cole/Simon Cowell duo with pleaseletitbeGeorgeMichael as the wingman...

 

It's Nearly Time. For the Yanks. To Face. The Music....ish!

 

  • Do you think the dutch xfactor has 'high speed gabba' night with a chubby postman going white and clutchin his chest after his rendition of 'i want to be a hippy', or finnish xfactor has 'satanic death metal night' with a middle aged nurse battering 'cannibal corpse'.

  • Are we going to get American X Factor aired over here in a current fashion, or like ITV2 confusingly screen seemingly-random episodes of American Idol so that whenever I'm idly channel surfing I find myself faced with a ragtag bunch of MENTAL Americans, and they are ALWAYS doing rock week. I swear I saw one with Kelly Clarkson in it the other day (bless her tubby face).

  • What Simon failed to say is that anyone with half a brain will find this format interesting, the ones with a full brain you will find the show bog standard.
