American Idol ‘s liege lord Simon Cowell sucked the life from American Idol when he fled the judging panel to take on the single venture that could possibly net him more money per calendar year: introducing his The X-Factor franchise to America. Sounds like a great idea — at least for Cowell, who will be earning significantly more on the music revenues end of the deal — but what about all of those American television viewers who have never heard of X-Factor or its most successful export Leona Lewis and assume (rightly) that it’s just another Idol derivative? Simon just may have a nefarious plan.
