Simon Cowell Fears The X Factor Will Fail

Music mogul Simon Cowell said that he feared the US version of The X Factor would fail and be over after its second episode aired.

He revealed that he was tense about the ratings for the show and feared it could end if it lost a good amount of the viewership, which had 12.4 million viewers on the series premiere.

He said, I wasnt opening any champagne on the first day because now we had set everyones expectations. The worse thing was in the second day because if you have a 30 or 40 percent drop off, youre dead. And in fact somebody said to me, If this drops off 30 percent Simon, its probably going to be all over. That is when I was tense.

He also revealed that there were a ton of people who didnt want him to succeed with the show, but he remains confident that the ratings will continue to rise.

He added, As much as people want you to succeed, theres a ton of people that want you to fail and I took a bit in the neck that first day. But I always trust the public and I get a feel for the show and its been positive and starting to grow now.

Are you a fan of the show? Have you been watching?

Although the Salahis first had their dose of fame on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C., they became a household name when they went to President Obama's first state dinner at the White House in November 2009 , apparently uninvited. Since then the two have still sought the spotlight with Michaele attempting to get on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and rumors of another reality TV show in the works. According to TMZ , the couple decided that relocating to Beverly Hills is a necessary move in their strategy to climb the celebrity ladder. Rather than spending a few million to buy a
