LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Music mogul L.A. Reid says Simon Cowell's goal of 20 million viewers for the new U.S. version of the "X Factor" was aspirational.
"That's a statement that Simon put out there and I think it was an aspirational statement," Reid, a judge on the show, told reporters Thursday. "And I hope that at some point we can get there. I'm not disappointed that we're not there."
