Posted 09.21.11 by reelz
Who better to deliver information about The X Factor than a member of the Cowell family? The newest Hollywood Dailies correspondent is Tony Cowell who, as brother and confidante of X Factor judge and creator Simon Cowell, is just the person to give us news and insights about the upcoming reality competition series.
Cowell's first report on tonight's Hollywood Dailies will break down what viewers can expect from the highly anticipated show, as well as reveal intimate details on why brother Simon decided to leave American Idol and focus on bringing The X Factor to America. Going forward, Cowell's X Factor reports will keep Hollywood Dailies viewers up to date on the inside X Factorscoop.
Cowell already reports on The X Factor as well as Britain's Got Talent for UK radio and television. He's also reported on American Idol for CBS radio since 2008. So what does he have to say about this new singing competition so far?
Simon has called the The X Factor ... "a reality show on steroids" ... and I think he's 100% right. I don't think America has ever seen anything like this. What America doesn't know is that The X Factor has been running in Britain for seven years. This show has already been sold to 32 countries worldwide — it's a huge success worldwide. Part of Simon's genius is his ability to keep upping his game. Making reality programs that transcend the competition. He's the ultimate tinkerer. He believes you have to keep evolving these shows to make them better — and he doesn't do boring!
The X Factor debuts tonight on Fox. Catch Tony Cowell's first Hollywood Dailies report today at 5pm ET/ 2 pm PT. ReelzChannel is on DirecTV channel 238, Dish Network channel 299, and available on your cable or satellite system.
