Fox Cancels THE X FACTOR

Fox has canceled THE X FACTOR, the network announced.

“I’ve had a fantastic time over the last 12 years, both on THE X FACTOR and AMERICAN IDOL,” said Simon Cowell in a statement. “And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public (most of the time!). Last year, for a number of reasons, I had to make a decision to return to the U.K. version of ‘The X Factor’ in 2014. So for now, I’m back to the U.K. and I want to thank FOX for being an incredible partner and I also want to thank everybody who has supported my shows. America, I’ll see you soon!”

“To all of us at FOX, Simon is more than one of the most prolific TV personalities of our time — he’s part of our family,” said Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “A consummate showman and partner, there’s no one more passionate or creative than Simon, and we feel so fortunate to have enjoyed such a wonderful, collaborative relationship with him over the past 12 years. Unfortunately, there is no X FACTOR USA without Simon Cowell, but we understand and support his decision to focus on the international formats and on the next phase of his personal life. We wish him the very best, and it’s our sincere hope that we work together again soon.”

About Last Night…THE VOICE and THE X FACTOR

There was a lot of singing on television last night, as THE X FACTOR had 16 contestants perform and THE VOICE finished its battle rounds. (Yes, there was a whole lot of scripted shows, too, but four hours of people singing is surprisingly draining.)

Britney Spears Leaving THE X FACTOR

After weeks of rumors, Britney Spears has released a statement confirming she’s leaving THE X FACTOR:

“I’ve made the very difficult decision not to return for another season. I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it’s time for me to get back in the studio. Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most.”

Are you disappointed Spears won’t be returning to THE X FACTOR? Or are you excited to see who the show brings on next?
