American Idol is Simon Fuller's show. X Factor is Simon Cowell's own show, that he also judges on. Everything about it is just way better imo. They also do groups and older people on the same show, and each judge has their own category (young females, young males, groups, older) that they mentor along the way.
I think in the UK it went something like this: Pop Idol (Simon Fuller) is successful, Cowell judges on it >>> Cowell leaves and starts X Factor >>> Pop Idol goes down the drain and X Factor is a megahit
UK people feel free to correct me, I'm not entirely sure.
Leona Lewis is a winner of X Factor and the most successful... there's also another girl from it who I think will be very successful, Diana Vickers, she didn't win but is amazing and is releasing a CD this year.
