Get your Simon fix while you can. Season 9 of American will be one of your last chances to see the brutally honest Britt as a judge on American Idol. That’s because Brittan’s own X-Factor is coming to the states in fall of 2011.
Sure it’s a bit to wait, but the it will be worth it when you consider the differences between the two reality show styled talent contests.
Type:
Performance:
Training/Support:
Solo acts only
Acapella, then live band
Song and wardrobe selection, performance direction once in top group
Solos, duos, groups, you name it.
Soundtrack
All of those, plus personal mentoring from the judges themselves
Rumor has it Paula Abdul might be back for this one, but either way the show format that has launched European stars like Leona Lewis is sure to make a dent in the Idol audience and the talent pool.
So if you thought you couldn’t get a shot at your dream because of your age or because you’re not a solo act, now’s the time to ramp up your training and get out there and perform as much as humanly possible. This is your last chance workout! Oh wait, that’s another reality show.
