I don't even think X Factor will even match American Idol's popularity and success, especially during it's prime when it was hitting over 30 million viewers weekly during the earlier seasons.
Yes it will definitely, NBC is going to promo the hell out of it next season.
X-Factor had a chance with Cheryl Cole, but now with Nicole.... all hope is lost.
Plus with an episode after the Super Bowl + Christina's half time performance
I'm sure the season finale this year will be epic. #atleastbetterthanAI
