The X Factor is the FOX version of the UK hit The X FACTOR, a singing competition show. The show is brought to you by creator and American Idol alum Simon Cowell. The X Factor began in the United Kingdom in 2004, and has had 7 seasons in the UK, while also inspiring versions of the show for dozens of other countries, from Russia to Kazakhstan. The UK version launched the career of internationally successful pop singer Leona Lewis, and there have been 47 winners of The X Factor worldwide. The prize is usually a recording contract as well as some serious publicity from the show. Simon announced that he was bringing the successful show to America in 2009 after his contract ended with Idol. Simon is bringing his tough no-nonsense competition to America to find performers who have that "something" that makes them a star, The X Factor. Auditions begin in Los Angeles on March 27, 2011, and will continue in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New Jersey, and Seattle. Tune in and see how the Americans fare in the tough competition, and who can take home the recording contract with Syco and Sony Music, on the FOX series The X Factor.MORE
