Simon Cowell in search for another X Factor superstar

After rumours about simon-cowellSimon Cowell to quit the X Factor last month the music mogul has promised to find another X Factor winner who can achieve success on an international level.

In a recent interview with the ITV website recently, Simon predicted that unique talent will have the best chance of winning the competition this year which returns to ITV1 on August 22.

When Simon Cowell was asked to name the qualities he is looking for, he replied: “The X Factor this year is relevance. You know, you should be able to find somebody who there is a genuine gap in the market for.

“And we’ve proven through this process that you can find someone who’s going to sell records all over the world. So not to make that your benchmark is a huge, huge mistake.”

Other judges like Louis Walsh are looking for other strong points in individuals such as stamina and determination.

He explained: “You have to have everything to do well in The X Factor. It’s hard work for these people.

“They don’t realise how much it’s going to take out of them to go out and do the live show. The live show is very stressful, it’s very draining, it’s a lot of hard work [and] you have to be totally into your craft.”

Although The X Factor is usually a good show this year is set to be something more special.

Rumours are rife that Simon Cowell’s latest prodigy Shaheen Jafargholi is to support Leona Lewis when she embarks on her world tour next year. The 14-date tour is believed to begin in the U.K in mid 2010 before moving on to a range of countries across the world. Leona’s smash hit “Bleeding Love” hit the number one spot in over 30 different countries winning her an army of new fans across the globe.

The common link between Shaheen and Leona is Simon Cowell. He championed Leona on the third series of X Factor in 2006, which she went on to win, and plotted her steady rise to global superstardom.

Despite not winning the Britain’s Got Talent series this year, Cowell has high hopes for the youngster from Swansea. He shot to fame earlier this year when he performed the Michael Jackson hit “Who’s Loving You?” on the hit ITV1 talent show. Shaheen was able to repeat this performance on the world stage as he was invited to perform at Michael Jackson’s memorial concert.

Very few details have been released regarding Leona’s 2010 tour except there is expected to be a Garden of Eden theme and Leon’s record company have been reported as saying “money is no object.” Fans of the Hackney singer can look forward to a blistering tour then, possibly with the added bonus of miniature singing sensation Shaheen.

If you’re hoping to catch Leona when she hits your town, ensure you make the most of the occasion and arrive in a chauffeur driven limo.
