The X Factor U.S. talent search comes to YouTube
Thursday, 2 June 2011
Simon Cowell, the man who has made many an aspiring pop star’s dream, is
coming to YouTube
in search of new talent.
Future singing superstars in the U.S. take note: you have one week, starting today until 11:59pm ET on June 9, to submit your X Factor audition video for a chance to compete on the show for a $5 million recording contract.
Here’s the fine print. You can audition either as a solo artist or as a group, but you must keep your submission to two minutes or less and be sure to include a brief introduction (around 30 seconds) stating the name of your act and everyone in your group. Also, you must be living in the U.S. and all video submissions must have been created in the past two months, or you risk disqualification. Full rules and regulations can be found
here
.
If things go well, you could be performing in front of Simon Cowell, The X Factor judges and millions of viewers this Fall.
We know how much talent there is on YouTube —
you’ve been showing us for years
— and we’re excited to be partnering with The X Factor to bring you more opportunities to shine.
