'The X Factor 2015' News: Simon Cowell Threatens to Quit the Show If It Can't Find Another One Direction
Simon Cowell threatens to leave "The X Factor" in two years, if the show won't be able to find another talent like One Direction.
According to the Mirror UK, Cowell will walk away from the hit British reality singing competition if "terrible" and "rubbish" contestants will continue to come and audition. The music mogul gives himself two years before finally "calling it a day."
The show is continuously in the news, with the latest controversy saying that "The X Factor" is fixed after host Olly Murs made a gaffe in announcing the eliminated contestant, Monica Michael, before the envelope with the results was even given to him. The judges denied the issue, even the rumors that they are fixing the votes whether to send the bottom two acts into a sing-off. "There's no influence. No one knows the result. If we didn't do this fairly it would have come out years ago," said Cowell.
Meanwhile, only four acts remain in "The X Factor 2015," and they are Lauren Murray, Louisa Johnson, Reggie 'N' Bollie, and Che Chesterman. Two acts are from Rita Ora's team, while Nick Grimshaw and Cheryl Versini-Fernandez both have one act each.
The final 4 battled it out last night, and all are hoping to make it through the finals next week. Each act performed two songs, and according to Entertainment Focus, Cheryl's last remaining act for the Groups is the strongest act left. Reggie 'N' Bollie sang "Locked Away" by R City and Adam Levine and a mashup of "I Got a Feeling" and "I Like to Move It." Lauren Murray sang "Take Me Home" and "Runnin" (Lose It All), and Cowell said that Murray proved that she's a fighter after her two performances.
Nick Grimshaw's Che Chesterman performed Charles and Eddie's "Would I Lie to You" and Amy Winehouse's "Love Is a Losing Game," where he got very emotional. Lastly, Louisa Johnson's big vocals take on "The Power of Love" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," which Versini-Fernandez described as fantastic.
"The X Factor 2015" results night will air tonight, Dec. 6, on ITV.
