Cowell slams boring talent shows

Simon Cowell has slammed talent shows for being boring.

The music mogul - who is behind 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'America's Got Talent' and has judged on 'Pop Idol', 'The X Factor' and 'American Idol' - has criticised TV contests for "beginning to look the same", and insists he is determined to mix things up with this year's 'X Factor' USA.
