‘The X Factor’ USA / UK notes: Simon Cowell and Carly Rose Sonenclar

X Factor NewsWe have a pretty brief edition of “The X Factor” notes for you today, as we are taking a look at what is happening both with some stars of the American and British versions of the show … starting with the music mogul himself in Simon Cowell.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine over the week, Cowell confirmed that he will have a larger role in the British version of the singing competition than he has the past two years, in which he has basically been nothing more than an offscreen presence. While it seems incredibly doubtful that he will ever be a full-time judge again so long as he is balancing this and the American version of the show, we would not be surprised to see him in a Jimmy Iovine-esque role where he gives video feedback to the contestants either during the performance show or the following day on the results.

This move may in part be sparked by some recent declining ratings for the show, along with cries from the press to have Simon return in a larger capacity.

As for Carly … In what is a tiny update for all Carly Rose Sonenclar fans, she wrote on her Twitter earlier today that she is taking part in a video shoot for Fuse News. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to see the results of this very soon, so stay tuned fore more updates on this. We’re just glad that we are continuing to get frequent updates from her world while we wait to see what the next major move is in her career.
