Unless they can rebound considerably, this should be the last season of X-Factor USA.
Agreed. I'm quite confident this will be the final season. The X-Factor just never morphed into the monster hit to replace American Idol that Simon intended it to be. It's fascinating how the X-Factor is the number one singing show across the world yet in the US and only in the US Idol still reigns supreme. I think with the reduced production budget which is going to hurt them in securing high-profile guest performers when we reach the live shows in conjunction with the low rent judges and the fact that ratings are down yet again this season it would be extremely surprising if the X-Factor went on to have a Season 4. It's a shame because I enjoy both the UK and US incarnations. Probably the US version of the show more than the UK one.
Oh well. I guess we'll just have to enjoy it while it lasts. On a more positive note "Auditions 2" which is a two hour episode starts in five minutes (for US viewers).
