Simon Cowell: "Be inspired by One Direction"

Simon Cowell has advised all wannabe singers to look to One Direction, P!nk and Beyoncé for inspiration.

The music mogul took to Twitter to muse about the upcoming season of The X Factor US.

After announcing the start date of audition stages and confirming details about the new panel,  Cowell dished out advice to people wanting to audition for the show.

He said: "We start x factor auditions in charleston on Tuesday. The new panel will be announced Monday. This is going to be an interesting show!

He added: And for anyone looking for advice on who too look to as an inspiration when you are auditioning for one of our shows. One name. Beyonce. And pink. And of course one direction. Who made it happen through sheer determination (sic)."

Cowell and Demi Lovato will return to the panel next season, with Britney Spears and L.A. Reid announcing their departure.

Cowell also reflected on his time at American Idol.

Randy Jackson announced he wouldn't be returning as a judge and mentor on next season's show - leaving behind current judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban.

Cowell added: "Randy leaving idol made me remember that Paula [Abdul] randy me and Ryan [Seacrest' had the best time. I miss them (sic)."
