What exactly is the purpose of X-Factor? Is it a AI-show or an America's Got Talent show? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:11 3
- AI++. The other purpose is that it's what Cowell wanted to do, so Fox opened their checkbook and did it. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:12 2
  - Well, he *is* on X Facotr over there, no? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:12 1
    - right, and decided he couldn't do three shows, and wanted Fox's money for X Factor, so now he does both X Factors... - TFox Jan 12, 10:14
Personally speaking, I would first like an explanation on WTF X Factor is -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:08 11
- I'm sure there will be a commercial or two before the premiere. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:11 1
  - Heh. And one, maybe two giant-assed billboards here and there. :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:12
- American Idol where the judges actively coach and interact with the contestants I believe -- nm - decline Jan 12, 10:10
- Jamie Madrox! -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:09 3
  - X Factor Investigations! - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:10 2
    - I dropped it a while ago. Seemed to be going nowhere and too much interaction with the other X-Men for me. -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:11 1
      - Ah. Love Peter David. spoil - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:14
- The show form England that American Idol is the American version of. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:09 3
  - except, AI was based on Pop Idol. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 10:10
  - Not exactly. The show that spun off from Pop Idol in England, that is now bigger than Pop Idol was. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:09 1
    - True, I just mean that they have X Factor, we have American Idol. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:12
are they positioning X to go head-to-head with Idol? -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 10:06 9
- Both are Fox. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:07 3
  - ah, okay. - znufrii Jan 12, 10:10 2
    - And rumor has it that Paula will be there, as well. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:11 1
      - but on the other hand, we're not talking about a zero-sum game, if they're on the same network. - znufrii Jan 12, 10:15
- i don't know if it will go head to head but i believe it is on another network -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:06 4
  - nope, both on Fox. (nm) - howie Jan 12, 10:07 2
    - wikipedia lied! -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:08 1
      - *pats pixie* - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:08
  - They are both on Fox. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:07
Especially if Paula is with him. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:06 1
- it would be the smart move -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:07
