Former American Idol judge Simon Cowell is now making his presence felt again via the “UnXploding Simon” commercial to promote the US version of “The X Factor”. The new 30-second TV spot was aired during the Super Bowl XLV on Sunday (February 6).
Recording contract worth $5 million is the guaranteed prize and “The X Factor” opens up the audition age -- from 12 above.
Simon, who will served as one of the judges, said: "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 $5 million."
Auditions for contestants starts March 27 in Los Angeles, with other sessions following in the Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Seattle and New York.
