Camila Cabello reveals before becoming famous on “X Factor,” she initially tried for “The Voice.”

  • She had auditioned for the singing competition programme before leaving to try her luck on The X Factor in 2012, according to the former girl group member and current The Voice coach, 25, who spoke with Access.
  • After performing Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” during a round with producers, Cabello advanced, but she later quit The Voice to pursue One Direction instead of fame.
  • The X Factor US could be revived, according to Simon Cowell, in order to find more “great groups” like Fifth Harmony.

She confessed, “I don’t even know if I can explain the remainder of the story.” Not the TV round, but the producer round, I did succeed. I never went on a coach’s tryout list.

“And after that, I was incredibly excited to see One Direction since I knew they would be appearing on X Factor. I decided to take a chance and not participate in The Voice in order to try out for X Factor. And eventually, I did run into One Direction,” Cabello continued.

The girl trio Fifth Harmony, which came in third on the second season of the American version and went on to win an American Music Award and four MTV Video Music Awards throughout their six-year tenure, was formed by Simon Cowell as a result of Cabello’s appearance on The X Factor.

One Direction also got their start on the U.K. version of the competition in 2010, when 63-year-old Simon Cowell brought together Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne to create a supergroup of competitors. Rolling with Cowell, in Cabello’s opinion, meant getting to know her heroes.

Before she eventually made a comeback this season as a coach, she described her choice to leave The Voice as “a fairly bold move. “I feel like I was meant to come back,” you might say.

Cowell revealed this month that an X Factor comeback isn’t entirely out of the question, despite the fact that each member of Fifth Harmony now has their own individual careers.

He told Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans, “I guess around 24 hours ago, I just came to a decision, which is — literally I was thinking on my own — if I had a choice, I would do it here.” “I promise God,”

Normani, Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke, and Dinah Jane were all a part of the group, which Cowell said he was remembering because of “how much fun” they had together. Cowell also noted that a U.S. version of the group might always be something to revisit.

The X Factor was created by the former American Idol judge in both the United Kingdom and the United States; the latter ceased in 2013 after three seasons. The careers of bands like One Direction, Fifth Harmony, and Little Mix were launched by both programmes.

Because there aren’t many groups at the moment and we discovered some excellent groups on that show, Cowell continued. And I responded, “Yeah, I’d do it for that reason alone.”
