Speaking on the new show, here’s what Cowell had to say about the new format on Breakfast Television: “When I heard about this idea, I went, ‘this is brilliant!’. I love the idea of this, I’ve always wanted to make a family show, couldn’t be a better time to do it. You don’t have to worry about the production element or the sound or anything like this. I’ll be there at the end to hopefully judge the best of the best.”
“I think originality is really important. If you’re going to choose a song to sing, I always say ‘find a version that is your version’. It’s all about showcasing your talent, having fun with it, don’t overthink it but try and do something we haven’t seen before,” he said when asked to give advice to the contestants.
