No, but I've read reviews! Keep in mind though that this was only a screening and they may change things a little bit:

6 REASONS TO WATCH:
1) "The X Factor" is "Idol" on steroids - It's no secret that Simon Cowell has a big ego and a big salary...and now he has the big, big show to match. Everything about "The X Factor" is overwhelmingly oversized: the live auditions inside an amphitheatre, the record-number audition turnouts, the massive production values. And the talent pool is mighty large, too. At this rate, next season Simon should really consider holding the "X Factor" premiere at an IMAX theater.
2) Paula Abdul is straight up - On "Idol," Paula was known for her less-lucid moments (critiquing a tune Jason Castro had yet to sing, fantasizing out loud about dangling David Archuleta's squishy head from her rearview mirror, drawing Sharpie mustaches on Simon's face, lip-synching to her own song, clapping like a circus seal). But during the "X Factor" premiere, Paula was on point. Oh, don't worry, she was still loopy and lovable, and she and Simon still exhibited that old-married-couple chemistry. (In fact, when one actual old married couple tried out on the show, Simon quipped, "That could be us in 10 years!") But Paula seemed to be taking her new job seriously--as well she should, as it's a rare second chance for which she should be extremely grateful--and word is she'll even have a hand in this elaborate show's choreography, too.
3) Simon has finally met his match - If there is anyone in the music industry with an ego that can eclipse Simon's, it just might be L.A. Reid's. From the moment I saw L.A.'s slo-mo glamour shots of him staring, stern and steely-eyed, into the unflinching "X Factor" camera lens, I knew he meant business. And when I watched a montage of him repeatedly sparring with Simon, I could see why these two alpha-males were seated far apart, on opposite ends of the judges' table. L.A. may be the real "mean judge" of this show, and Simon better watch his black-T-shirted back.
4) Cheryl Cole actually gets screen time - After the scandal that ensued when Cheryl got the boot (supposedly she and Simon still aren't on speaking terms), I'd assumed that she'd be written out the show entirely and never spoken of again, kind of like Richie Cunningham's older brother on "Happy Days" or that first little brother on "The Partridge Family." But instead the British beauty was heavily featured in "The X Factor's" Los Angeles segments...and guess what? Cheryl did a fabulous job, and her supposedly problematic accent was completely intelligible. Sure, when she was suddenly replaced by Nicole and no explanation was given for her mysterious disappearance, it was a letdown; it's a shame she didn't get to stick around and prove herself this season. But at least she didn't totally end up on the cutting-room floor.
5) There will be drama - You dig classic bad auditions? Well then, you'll adore Xander Alexander, a chip-shouldered drama king who cited "Whitney Houston before she lost it" as his main influence; described his style as "Donald Trump meets Martha Stewart without the jail time meets Britney Spears meets Beyonce without the ugly husband"; started mouthing off to Simon the minute he hit the stage; and then burst into tears (which Paula accused him of faking) when the judges rejected him. Or maybe you'll be amused by pants-dropping weirdo Gio Godley, who full-frontal flashed the audience while warbling his completely misleadingly titled original song "I'm A Stud"--prompting a disgusted Paula to flee into the hallway, suffering from dry heaves. And if you're the type of reality viewer more moved by weepy back stories, then make sure you have some two-ply tissues at the ready this season, because many hard-luck contestants shared tales of spousal abuse, childhood poverty, struggling single parenthood, and drug addiction during the premiere's emotionally charged 90 minutes.
6) Simon Cowell is best judge on reality TV. Period. - Thanks to Simon, it now seems every TV talent show must have one surly, cantankerous, straight-shooting Brit on its judging panel. "America's Got Talent" has Piers Morgan, "Dancing With The Stars" has Len Goodman, "So You Think You Can Dance" has Nigel Lythgoe, "Top Model" has Nigel Barker, and Gordon Ramsay has practically become his own reality brand. There's a reason for this: Simon set the template for reality judges long ago because he's simply the best in the biz. And he still is. It's nice to welcome him back.
