The singing competition is axed after three seasons.
February 7, 2014
Fox has opted not to continue with The X Factor, canceling the singing competition after three seasons on the air in the US. The show was adapted from the original British version in 2011, but American audiences never really took to show, evidenced by it underperforming in each of its seasons.
Simon Cowell, who was The X Factor's executive producer, will be heading back to the U.K. where he will return to the British version of the show in the fall.

I agree with Jim Jones. American Idol and all those singing competition shows are terrible. I don't know why the're so popular. I guess America drank the Kool-Aid

That is ridiculous!!! I LOVE that show. And I think that they finally got the right batch of judges this season. I can't believe they would cancel it!!! Off course I LOVE Simon the most but Paula, Kelly & Demi were all GREAT TOO. I TOTALLY think Fox should definitely reconsider this.

I disagree with you Hounds of Justice. I agree with Barbara. Lavato was horrible. She only looked good in season two because Spears was downright awful and made her look good. Last season, she was just flat awful. Not the worst, but awful. We are entitled to our own opinions of course. Glad this one is over though. American Idol is good but needs to pick it up. The Voice is hands down the best of all of them. Great talent and great judges.

I think the X-Factor Season 3 was the best of all the seasons. They were on to something with the changes they made to the show. Simon killed his own show. You could see that the other judges knew he was running things. Perhaps if they were to bring it back without Simon, then the show just might be a success.

I couldn't stand this show. Simon's prediction of HUGE ratings reflects his arrogance. Glad to see it finally off the air!

I agree with Jim Jones. I like the Sing-Off better than all of the other singing shows.
