Are you the world's greatest DJ? X-Factor meets DJing

"Oh dear. Simon Cowell is to launch an X Factor style TV show to find the next big DJ. He has teamed up with Jada Pinket Smith to start work on the show, which so far does not have a name. At this time Mixmag is unsure whether the man known for wearing nipple-hugging trousers is going to call it 'Decks Factor' or not, but we do know that Smith's production company Overbrook today issued a statement confirming the plan. In the statement Cowell said: "DJ�s are the new rock stars, it feels like the right time to make this show.� Could this be the end of dance music as we know it? Is Cowell about to breed a new generation of mainstream dubstep DJs? Will the judging panel feature Afrojack and Paris Hilton? Only time will tell. More grim details will no doubt follow shortly."

"The X Factor mogul Simon Cowell has announced that he will be launching a new TV talent show which aims "to find the world's greatest DJ's". The show, which does not yet have a title, will operate in a similar manner to the X Factor, with DJ's battling it out to secure fame and fortune, reports Music Week. Speaking about the project, Cowell described DJ's as "the new rock stars" and said that the show will capture the rise of "DJ phenomena". The show has been in development for over a year. The show will be co-produced by Cowell's company SyCo and production group Overbrook, which is owned by actor Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. Simon Cowell said of the show: "We have been working on this show for over a year and we wanted to partner with the right people. As soon as I met Jada and Miguel from Overbrook, I knew they would be our ideal partners. DJ's are the new rock stars, it feels like the right time to make this show." Jada Pinkett Smith said: "This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent. I am happy to be creating it alongside Simon Cowell, the Sony team, and my partner Miguel Melendez, on behalf of the Overbrook family." It is still unknown which UK and US TV networks will broadcast the show, with more details expected to be confirmed shortly."

I really.. REALLY.. hope Simon Cowell dies of cancer.. He is just that!

No way this show will take off. Has any business ever held DJ Hero competitions like they did with Guitar Hero? DJ's aren't even close to most rock stars. Only a select few can be considered a "rock star". Most of them play irritating dubstep or plod house while people lounge around and pour drinks. I can't even imagine Simon Cowell being content with watching some joke like DJRYAN go up there and fist pump for 5 minutes before the track ends.

Maybe it will be a competition to see who can perform the most unique live mashups.

Anything they promote enough will take off that's the thing about human opinion it's very easily swayed when you have no direction of your own

And this will no doubt be centered around hip hop

What about this??

LIVE AT MAH HOUSE, LIVE AT MAH HOUSE

Is this any worse when Noted promoters openly allow named players to stand and de fraud the cash going clubbers that believe they are playing those tracks .. when all they are doing is using a pre mixed CD ..

Or Dj's that put there name to cd's that they never actually mixed but only picked the tracks and the protools did the rest
