As you know The X Factor is launching in the US next year which might impact our version which made me think - wouldn't it be a good idea if the two shows combined so that singers from the UK competed with those of the US effectively creating one huge show instead of two
would obviously need to work out time differences etc. but would mean not sacrificing the quality of our show next year if we have one - what do you guys think?

Voting is also free in the US (it would be illegal to charge for votes,) so the the US voting would outnumber the Uk by a landslide.
People are getting bored of American Idol and actually, no, X Factor's format is completely different to American Idol. Mentors, judges save, giving the contestants a full production with dancers and special effects, etc.
It's the same network, both are on or will be on Fox.
x factor replaced pop idol here, but i don't see the problem, idol will run in jan and x factor in august, there never going to compete, and the fact that their different will work in their favor rather than having two of the same shows running for most of the year, have to say though idol looks like its going to be really good this year
Tell us more please.
The american's will lap it up. Its gonna be huge over there.

And now NBC with the voice of america...makes it less interesting across the board.
Glad we only have X Factor despite the drama it brings.
Idk I think the public will follow Simon
I agree with everything you said. I don't want Cheryl judging here. UK please keep her! I like Nicole a lot. She should judge the US one.
sidenote: Has anyone seen The Voice of Holland show or know what its like? Is it better than X Factor? Does Simon have a reason to be scared?
then judges will take their contestants to the lives where they battle it out for a record contract until winner is determined by public,judge is also involved in winners career after
Really...SC is the biggest draw on American Idol, which is struggling anyway. The XF is a brand new show that will have SC and new judges etc...it's American Idol that's about to fall flat on it's face IMO.
People shouldn't forget how massive a star SC is in the US. He could probably make a show about farmers and their favourite cows successful.
The fans were more disappointed to see Kara go.
The two new judges from the promos look good. It looks like they have struck gold with Steven Tyler.

american idol will compete with voice of america
You need to enter BGT as a comedian.
Idol is more about actual talent than the judges or the spectacle, and gives the contestants more free rein to make their own decisions and have their own input week to week, which sorts out the wheat from the chaff and is more likely to result in winners or other contestant with a realistic chance of making it in the industry.
Also, the upper age limit for American Idol was raised to 29 in season 4 when X Factor wasn't given the go-ahead the first time around. There are plans now to raise it to 35.
It seems strange that they're broadcasting 2 similar shows, as surely the same acts would enter for both competitions?!
Simon is no longer involved with American Idol. He left at the end of this year's series in May.
The shows will both be on the same channel but at different times of the year.
I doubt very much that the shows will attract the same type of singers to any great extent, any more than America's Got Talent has ever attracted the same type of singers as American Idol. Over the years, American Idol has evolved into a very different animal to what it was at first and to what Pop Idol was.
