“I’m absolutely delighted Britney and Demi are joining us,” said Simon Cowell. “Britney remains one of the biggest stars in the world, she’s talented, fascinating – and I believe she knows exactly how to spot THE X FACTOR. Demi’s had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She’s young, confident, and enthusiastic. I think it’s really important that she speaks to our younger audience. The new panel will be dynamic and will work really well with the changes we are making to the show.”
Spears added, “I couldn’t be more excited to join THE X FACTOR judging panel. I’m a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action. Simon and L.A. better watch out!”
“I’m so thrilled to join this legendary group of judges on THE X FACTOR,” said Lovato. “To be able to spend each week with Simon, L.A. and Britney watching the best that America has to offer is truly a dream come true.”
Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, noted, “Britney is an unparalleled superstar. Her success in the music industry over the last two decades makes her a perfect fit for THE X FACTOR judging panel. Demi has mass appeal and is beloved by her fans around the world. We are incredibly lucky to have them on board and we know they will bring so much excitement to the judging table for Season Two!”
“Britney Spears has done it all – she is the ultimate pop icon – and I am thrilled that she has agreed to join THE X FACTOR,” said executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. “Nobody embodies THE X FACTOR more than Britney – she has shown the world what it means, how to do it and how to sustain it! Demi, like Britney, was discovered at a young age. Her ambition and drive solidifies her as one of the most popular young artists today. Now they will each get a chance to share their experiences and skills with the acts that they will mentor on THE X FACTOR.”

What does gaf think? Wise choice or a trainwreck waiting to happen?
 
I hope her CIA originated, mental programming prepares her for judging on America's third most popular televised singing contest.

Good luck to all involved.
 
So Britney Spears is going to judge people's abilities to sing? She might as well become a Supreme Court judge, she's just as qualified.

They are hoping that she goes crazy again on live TV and takes out a few of the contestants with her.

Or at the very least take them hostage in a prolonged armed stand off with the police all of which will be televised live by Fox News.

Synergy Baby!!!!

Metta World Peace as a judge.
 
Will her and Demi have a breakdown and make out?

PS- reason why Demi had to go to rehab and got kicked out of her show on Disney channel.

There are images.

Honest question. All I know her for nowadays is going kinda crazy, shaving her head, having a dubstep section in a single and the album not really selling, and now she's on a reality tv show as a judge. That's literally all I know about her from the last 2-3 years. Is she still popular?
 
The sign of desperation by Cowell is Demi. This show will tank as hard as it did last year. Which is to say it will underperform but still win most nights that its on. Last season was the absolute lamest, annoyingly obnoxious, piece of trash I've ever endured on purpose. Hopefully they tone down the idiocy and the lip-synching this year.

It's easy to wiki.

In March 2011, Spears released her seventh studio album Femme Fatale.[134] Max Martin and Dr. Luke executive produced the album and the album's first single "Hold It Against Me". The single debuted at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. This gave Spears her fourth number-one single on the chart, and made her only the second artist in history to have two consecutive singles debut at number-one, after Mariah Carey.[135] The album peaked at number one in the United States (selling 276,000 copies in its first week), Canada, and Australia, and peaked inside the top ten on nearly every other chart. The album's peak in the United States ties Britney with Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson for the third-most number ones among women.[136] As of March 9, 2012, Femme Fatale has sold 883,000 copies in the United States and 2.2 million worldwide and has been certified platinum by the RIAA.[137][138] The album received positive critical reviews after its release, receiving a score of 67 on Metacritic, her highest critical score since Oops!... I Did It Again, with many critics naming the album one of Spears's best.[139] In April 2011, Spears appeared in a remix to the song "S&M" by Rihanna after Rihanna asked her fans via Twitter who they wanted her to collaborate with.[140] The song reached number one in the US in mid-April 2011, giving Spears her fifth number one on the chart.[141] In early May, Spears' second single from Femme Fatale, "Till The World Ends", reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and had ninety-eight million audience impressions on the Billboard chart, granting Spears the highest weekly audience of her 13-year chart career.[142]

So the Britney vs Christina rivalry is back in full swing.

12 year old me is very pleased.

That said I'm very amused at how modern Britney seems to look frightened ALL the time.
 
Now I have to watch every week. :/

Isn't that more than what J.Lo gets paid for for the #1 show American Idol. Britney Spears the highest paid "judge" not named Simon Cowel,

There were rumors she also got HER management/agents to be producers on the show too... given how Simon has previously fired judges on Xfactor thats probably not a bad idea.

She's AT LEAST as qualified as Paula was, if not more. Britney was actually on Star Search as a kid


Britney: Star Search - "I Don't Care"
Britney Spears at Star Search - Love Can Build a Bridge
 
I was about to type how I think this could go either way on the scales, but I think only good can come from this.

If it's a disaster and she's shy and stiff (or goes mental), then everyone will just continue to think she's a bit crazy, but the current fan base will still remain.

If it goes well and her sweet and goofy personality comes across then she'll become america's sweetheart.
 
The first thing that came to my mind was "Good for her!"

I don't know, I guess seeing her fail would make me rather sad instead of entertained
 
Demi just said this a couple of months back

I guess $$$ is better than being healthy

"Right now I don't need to get in front of a TV camera which adds 10 pounds and makes you feel more self-conscious about your body image. Being on camera makes me nervous. It takes a level of confidence and security which I'm still working on.
"When I'm ready I'll find the right role and get back into it, but for now I'm being cautious.
"I'm walking with my head held high, but I never forget that I'm a work in progress."

But is anyone here for these two

He proved to be quite inept and fake last season, which would have been more apparent if the two people to his immediate left weren't complete morons, and if the show wasn't a trainwreck. I'm just hoping to see one or two more Rachel-esque breakdowns. SIMON! NOOOOOOOOO!
