The X Factor held their premiere for Season 2 at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. We were lucky enough to be there to witness not only the Red Carpet arrival of the judges but the once in a lifetime hand printing ceremony.

All the judges arrived in quick succession with smiles all-round as they posed for the camera. We had a great spot in the press line which enabled us to take some fantastic close up shots as they arrived.

After the arrivals we moved on to the hand printing ceremony where each judge has their hand imprinted into wet concrete. This has never been done for a television program before and the X Factor judges handprints will join the Hollywood giants.

Moving on inside the theatre we were shown a screening of the first show. As expected it didn't disappoint and is full of drama, laughter and some surprising talent. The judges finished with a question and answer session from the media and it was all over.

It was a fabulous experience and now we look forward to season 2 of The X Factor USA being the best yet.
