X Factor getting the :camby: after only three seasons

[Canada Goose]

Fox and the show's production companies announced Friday that the U.S. edition of the singing competition won't be coming back this fall.

"X Factor" head judge and creator-executive producer Simon Cowell will instead return to the U.K. version of the show later this year.

"I've had a fantastic time over the last 12 years, both on 'The X Factor' and 'American Idol,'" Cowell said in a statement. "And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public - most of the time!"

The acerbic judge initially predicted that "X Factor" would be a major hit before its 2011 debut, but the show never garnered stellar ratings, which continued to dip in last year's third season.

The show's hosts and judging panel was revamped each season with Paul Abdul, Antonio "L.A." Reid, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and Kelly Rowland among those joining Cowell on the panel

It was a trashy show that never knew what it wanted to be. Plus they kept throwing the winners in the bushes. I stopped watching after they got rid of Astro

the uk version of teh x facor was much better and it seemed like they had a americas got talent type vibe to the show, whereas the og x factor was just simon shyttin on nikkas way worse than american idol

 

[Ziggiy]

Is it just me or did every season progressively just have more soft and feminine nikkas on the show. I was never a fan but my wife was and every other episode was some homo looking black guy singing Gwen Stefani and shyt

this is great news for shows like Almost Human thats on the bubble

i think this garbage took up like 3 hours of tv time per week so now they'll have enough open slots to bring back the shows they want or for new shows
