Simon Cowell Confirms The X-Factor Returns To The US After 10 Year Break

The X Factor creator and judge Simon Cowell confirmed that the singing competition show will return to the United States after a ten-year hiatus. The series originated in the United Kingdom in 2004, and has had many versions around the globe. The X Factor premiered in America in 2011 where it aired for three seasons. The American version featured winners Melanie Amaro (season 1), Tate Stevens (season 2), and duo Alex & Sierra (season 3), but the most successful act created by the show was Fifth Harmony, who placed third in season 2. The contestants were split into groups based on categories such as Boys, Girls, Over 25's, Groups, and others, who were guided by mentors. The mentors for the United States version of The X Factor throughout the three seasons were Simon, L.A. Reid, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland, and Paulina Rubio.
