This is the beginning of tonight's episode of The X Factor USA:

A promo has never gotten me so excited about an episode like this one did before. I hope it lives up to the expectations, it could be a turning point for the ratings stateside.

Whatever gimmick they come up with, they've still no chance against The Voice USA,

They're also lucky that American Idol season 2013 is finished.

Though I must say, X Factor USA is far superior to X Factor UK!!

Don't crucify me, but I want XFUSA to fail so that XFUK is saved by Cowell.

I was just about to post up this promo. It looks amazing. Such a fantastic promo

If our show was done like that, with the nice set and everything, I think it would have been even stronger. Simon seems to invest mostly into the US show which is odd considering it's failing in terms of ratings/demographics.

Kind of wished I lived in the US I have never been this hyped for a talent show before

I think it was a bit of a last minute thought for our show, the set up was very much just a regular bootcamp but with chairs on the side.

This even seems to be a direct copy of something off The Voice, the UK XF bootcamp seats thing was similar to The Voice but with the stage set out etc this seems like it could have literally been lifted out of The Voice...

The voice is one big XF copy. Just look at the colours or better yet, look at the first XF live show 2004 in a thread here.

This is really cool! Its like a movie trailer. Just amazing with the whole X and chairs around.

it`s doing just fine without him thanks

The set for US XF for that format is certainly better than the XF here. So, by the sound of it there is no Judges Houses now on US XF.

Someone's lived a sheltered life.

Americans dont see it that way because The Voice started before X Factor over there. I wonder if it will be the other way round if X Factor aired first?
