Irving Azoff’s Front Line Management will manage winners and finalists of The X Factor U.S., The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The partnership between Front Line, a division of Live Nation Entertainment, and Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment will be announced on Thursday.
Front Line, which Azoff founded in the 70s and was acquired by Ticket Master in 2008 manages an already impressive artist roster that includes The Eagles, Miley Cyrus, Journey, New Kids on The Block, Christina Aguilera and Fleetwood Mac. The firm's managers are expected to work closely with X Factor judges and producers as the competition progresses.
Says Cowell in a statement: “I’m really happy to be working with Irving and his team. It is really important that the contestants have world class representation, and Irving brings that."
Adds Azoff, chairman and CEO of Front Line Management Group, who will have the option to manage any X Factor finalists, solor artists and groups: “I’m proud to be involved with Simon Cowell and X Factor. The Front Line team is excited to mentor this next generation of superstars.”
As much as I don't like Nicole, she can both sing and dance. Therefore, she would be a worthy judge for the girls, but I'm guessing Fox didn't see that.

I'm interested about the super sized episode in which the contestants will be revealed, they havent done that before in the British version, at least not to my knowledge. Also note that there will be 8 live shows which leads me to believe that there won't be any wildcard contestants.
I just saw that there will be 12 finalists and not 16 like the last British season, thank god. If there are 2 double eliminations, there will be a 3 person finale. If there's only one double elimination, there will be a 4 person finale. I'm hoping for 3 contestants in the finale, 4 is too hectic.
