X Factor Boot Camp Live Audience Nixed At Last Minute

That fickle Simon Cowell! The X Factor Boot camp was supposed to be taped in front of a live audience, but the audience was cancelled at the last minute, reports the Miami Herald.

Rabid fans hoping to get a glimpse of pop stars-turned-judges Demi Lovato and Britney Spears at the two X Factor tapings at the Fillmore Miami Beach were plum out of luck Thursday. One was set for 1 p.m., the other 5:45 p.m.; both were a wash.

For unknown reasons as of press time, producers decided to nix the live-audience feature early Thursday morning and sent an email notification out to ticket holders at 2 a.m., long after most Web surfers had gone to bed.

Is Simon trying to head of spoilers? Or does he just feel like shaking things up? Some fans, particularly those coming from out of town were none too pleased.

Fan, Dianne Prokos, groused: “I just got home after driving to Miami Beach for the recording of the Boot camp to be informed that they decided not to have a live audience. I never received any email from them and this is not right. There were people there that came from Brazil and Colorado and they were p—ed. All you Miami fans let’s not support the X Factor because they have shown that they do not care about us to pull something like this.”
