Oh my!  Last night’s premiere episode of the new FOX reality show The X Factor go rocked last night.  Simon Cowell expected this to be his new boost to glory on the television network that launched him in American Idol. But as  wrote yesterday and as I blogged then as well, it looks like Zooey Deschanel’s New Girl will be the only big winner on FOX this new TV season.

Ratings are in and although The X Factor won it’s time slot the 20,000,000 viewers Simon Cowell wanted to tune in last night only got around half that number.  But no one expected this to be the next American Idol except Simon.  Which you gotta give him credit for his brash and bold prediction.

To be honest, are viewers simply tired of the same old, ongoing relatively boring competition shows?

Yes.

Now with The X Factor premiering soft along with Glee dropping audience as well, bring on that Zooey gal in New Girl.  Freshest thing on TV, freshest thing on FOX.

This show has gone to unbelievable lengths to bring solid support to The X Factor on FOX.  A $5 million dollar prize for the final winner when all is said and done which quite frankly is a lot more that the $1 million from American Idol.  Yes, both are on the same network but FOX was banking on The X Factor to be monstrous.

Not a lot of glee today at FOX.

Another one of those really worst kept secrets.  Negotiations were going well, then not going well, CBS was holding Paula Abdul to her contract which gave her the opportunity to create more content for that network following the limited run of her reality show Live to Dance.  That show lived to die quickly on CBS.  But Paula probably did the right thing, turning away from that agreement to join The X Factor on FOX.

Production on  The X Factor started today.  And Paula Abdul was on hand to greet the contestants and make the announcement of her return to her buddy Simon Cowell along with fellow judges L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole.  On her reunion with Simon today, Paula said during today’s announcement that “I am here.  It’s awkward and wonderful at the same time” she went on to say.

Now the full judges panel is in place.  And the hosts of The X Factor were announced as well as British personality Steve Jones and former Pussycat Dolls member Nicole Sherzinger will hold down that role.

Check these names out!  Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, Kenny G, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Usher, Babyface, Justin Bieber.  Yes this talented producer has worked with them all and many more Grammy Award winning artists over the years and Simon Cowell is bringing on the amazing L.A Reid as his first judge on his new reality show X Factor.

Antonio "LA" Reid

L.A Reid, currently Chairman of the Universal Music Group owned Island Def Jam Records, will be taking an early release from his expiring contract with that music giant to be a judge on the show according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Still under consideration for judges are Paula Abdul, whose show on CBS was a total ratings failure so she needs the work.  Also George Michael and the previously mentioned Mariah Carey have been rumored to be on Simon’s list.

Well here’s shocking news.  Right?  Not really.  The CBS show ‘Live to Dance,’ full of pomp and circumstance when the show was announced and began to air, looks to be in critical condition and may not be renewed.

The ratings have been awful, the show relatively boring and what CBS thought would be some serious competition for ‘American Idol’ never materialized.

TVLine.com is reporting the end of the series according to an inside source and the short live time on CBS gets Paula out of her agreement with CBS, free to return home to FOX on Simon Cowell’s upcoming ‘X Factor.’
