Simon Cowell Plans New Boyband - X Factor Show
Simon Cowell, creator of and judge on American Idol and the X Factor has dreamed up another reality TV show that could change the face of pop music.
The show has yet to be named, but it will consist of a panel of 5 teenage, female judges. These young girls, aged between 16 and 19 will be responsible for choosing the next big boyband for the UK.
A TV insider told the Star: “It’s all hush hush at present but Simon and his X Factor team are about to embark on a nationwide talent hunt for their boy band contenders.
“They want to put together an all-male group that can be as big as the likes of Blue or Take That. But this show will set out to keep it real.
“They will hire five teenage girls who love pop music and put them on the judging panel. And these lasses will have the ultimate say on who will be in and who will be out of their band.
“It will make sensational and controversial TV.�

Hurray for a decent reality tv programme.
However, they might have two auditions one for the boy band and one to pick the female judges. If the female judges are not picked via auditions I cant see the show working, as people will wonder why their opinion are so important.

If all fails Simon can bring back Rik Waller as a boy , who is as big as a boyband in a suprise twist, it worked for Big Brother. Or perhaps it didnt.
Seriously,I think the Boy Band the girls pick might be ultimately hated if the audience dont like the teenage female judges, so they also have to be popular.

It is a bit of a strange idea that a bunch of unknown kids put together a band. and as these girls will be picking the members of the band will the manage them after the show has finished arn’t they a bit to young to be managers of a band.
