Has the X Factor Arrived in the U.S too Late
After seeing the Ratings over the past couple of weeks & last year when it launched it makes me wonder due to Cowell's Idol contract which forbidden him bringing the X Factor to the States
has it come to the U.S too late ? especially as its up against The Voice which launched on NBC a few months before X Factor USA which proved a Hit & also being compared to American Idol |

Possibly. The best time to have launched it would hve been right after Leona's win. X Factor is already in the descent in the UK so launching it in the US seems a bad idea.

I think so. I think it's had it's day here and they missed the train by taking it to the US so late. I can't believe American Idol is still on...

If it had just been XF and AI I think it would've done a lot better, but the voice seemed to come out of nowhere and throw a big spanner in the works.
Mind you, the 4th episode of XF on Thursday got over 10m (according to wiki anyway) so there's a chance things could improve. |

Maybe X Factor Australia put them off. Didn't that get cancelled after one series in the mid 00s? (only to be brought back successfully several years later)

Did you read my point above? As the highest rated I sports show why would AI not still be on? That's the problem for X Factor. Although the ratings are lower than they used to be for idol it's still a powerhouse tv show. When X Factor started here Idol had finished so it had a clear run.
