Simon Cowell wants to beat American Idol

Simon Cowell wants the US X Factorto be more successful than American Idol.
The music mogul who quit as a judge on American Idol to kick start the new version of the pop star search show will “die trying” to be the most watched program, and he is confident The X Factor will become the best series of its kind.
“You don’t compete for the silver or the bronze, you may not get the gold, but you die trying. It’s definitely going to be better than the other shows,” he said.
Simon’s departure from American Idolled to a revamp of the judges with Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tylerjoining Randy Jackson on the panel, and he claims he isn’t impressed by them.
“It’s not my cup of tea,” he added.
