You can get a pretty good idea how loopy and of the wall the X Factor judges panel can be by watching the Fan Q&A that happened after the new FOX show premiered in Hollywood Wednesday night.
Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, L.A. Reid, and host Steve Jones answer questions in the videos below. There are definitely plants in the audience asking questions.
The X Factor premieres on Wednesday, September, 21.
