Simon Cowell is preparing for the second season of The X Factor yesterday and he Tweeted an idea I am totally down with. The King of Mean said, “Maybe the winner of @TheXFactorUSA this yr should compete with winner of The Voice & Idol in a super final. Just a thought. I’d be up for it” Throw in America’s Got Talent, Nashville Star, The Sing-Off and whatever other singing show I am forgetting about and I would totally watch. Especially if the three male coaches from The Voice (Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and CeeLo Green) were joined by Cowell on the judging panel and Ryan Seacrest hosted the show. Seriously it could air the last week May sweeps and it would get killer ratings.
The only person who is against it, is
Nigel Lythgoe who Tweeted, “@simoncowell suggests the IDOL winner should take on the voice and x-factor winners. The problem is the Idol winner will be a star by then.” Yeah just like the person who won last year and the year before that and the year before that stop when you get to Carrie Underwood who was the last true star to come from Fox’s first singing competition. He then went on to say the show put out more stars than any other reality show. That is because it has been on the longest. I guess Nigel is blinded by the light of reality reflecting off of his huge capped teeth.
