Simon Cowell has revealed that this year’s X Factor auditions will be held in front of a live audience for the first time.
The judge told GMTV said: “I like the idea that I’ve got a couple of thousand people behind me and you can take a lead from them. I think things have changed dramatically in the last few months and I think for the performers on X Factor, not to give them a chance to audition in front of a crowd, it just didn’t seem fair.”
Cowell admitted that because of this year’s Britain’s Got Talent auditions, he’s realised a live audience will be needed.
He said: “I’ve kind of got over this, ‘we should be the only ones in judgement’. I don’t feel that way anymore. I literally did this at the last second, changed my mind.
“Luckily we work with a great team of people who can do things quickly but they had to build a set. This is going to be like going to a concert now. We’ve had to build a stage, a set, everything, and we’re going to give the contestants a chance now to perform on stage for the first time.”
