Despite the success of "X Factor" from all four corners of the globe, a staggering reality hits the show. During the open auditions in Newcastle, "X Factor" lost its dominance as well as failing to draw the crowd and the possible future revenues and profits.
According Chronicle Live, "The X Factor's open auditions rolled in to Tyneside on Wednesday but there weren't many takers to try out, unlike two years ago, when thousands queued round the block at the Sage Gateshead to show off their singing talent, there was no need for crowd barriers at Newcastle's St James' Park, with fewer than 100 people through the doors in the first hour."
Despite the region's role in the former clashes such as Joe McElderry, James Arthur and Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, less people appeared to take the risk and heed in their footsteps. Even though the X Factor took to Twitter on Wednesday morning, letting everyone know that it would be in Newcastle but there was to be no huge throng of hopefuls to mirror the lines at the Sage in 2014, according to the same post.
In a post from Jobs & Hire, Simon Cowell's "X Factor" has given a legacy that has captivated the world and that is "One Direction." However, it remains indefinite if the former glory of the show would ever return to its highest heights.
It remains uncertain how Simon Cowell would deal with the reality that the tables have been turned. With the low number of takers taking the risk to become the next "X Factor," the numbers in Newcastle rendered startling moments for the show.
