Simon Cowell has revealed that the winner of the US version of 'The X Factor' will win a $5 million contract.
He is thrilled to be offering one of the biggest prizes in the history of television competitions, and has also confirmed that the contest will welcome contestants as young as 12.
'I like the idea that a 12 year old on this show can compete with an older singer and a singing group. I've never believed there should be a cut-off age for talent, and we are going to put our money where our mouths are with the $5m recording contract. I'm doing this show in America because I genuinely believe we can find a superstar,' he commented
In the UK competition winners get a measly £1 million pound recording contract in comparison! And entrants must be no younger than 16 years old to enter. for two seasons the age limit was reduced to 14. The US X Factor will air this autumn, and auditions will begin in March, however information on the chosen judging panel are still to be announced.
