SIMON COWELL: HOW TO BE THIS YEAR’S ‘X FACTOR’ BREAKOUT ARTIST

"The X Factor" is truly one of the most unique singing competitions on television. Aside from the great judging panel, Paulina Rubio, Kelly Rowland, Demi Lovato and the iconic Simon Cowell, the show has already produced successful musical groups.
 

Last year, "Emblem 3" and "Fifth Harmony" each released their albums and have successful singles on the music charts. What is interesting about the groups is that neither of them won the competition. That should show this season’s contestants that you don’t have to win the competition to be successful.
 

Simon Cowell knows this all too well, considering that he created "One Direction", one of the biggest bands in the world. Simon Cowell’s advice to this season’s contestants is that if they want to win, they need to mimic "Emblem 3" and "Fifth Harmony" and be original and make an impact.
