Reportedly, the first ‘X Factor’ auditions took place in Los Angeles on Sunday and according to reports, there were more than 18,000 people to audition. According to sources, the freeways were jammed around the area and hundreds camped out in hopes of being one of the first seen.
An insider told sources, “The scenes down here are crazy. There are around 18,000 people here, and the numbers are growing by the second. There’s gridlock on the freeways into the venue, it’s absolute chaos. These auditions are going to be going on well into the night — there are a lot of people to get through.”
Looks like Simon Cowell is going to succeed in having another hit show to add to his resume. The winner of the show will receive a $5 million record deal with Sony. The fact that the age requirement starts at 12 has helped to bring in an even bigger crowd. Sources say the contestants ranged in age from 12 to 87.
Saturday’s auditions were also the first round where hopefuls would perform in front of the producers of the show rather than the judges. As of now, the entire line up of judges has not been revealed. So far, only Cowell and famed record producer Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid have been confirmed as judges.
