The worst part of The X Factor (UK and US) is the never ending stories about who is going to be on the judging panel. My god it's tedious. Some ridiculous names always get thrown around; Katy Perry, Rhianna, Sharon Osbourne, Beyonce, Cheryl Cole (again). And to be honest I thought Britney Spears was another one. Why would she want to do it? Oh sure there's a massive paycheck at the end of it, but there's really no hiding away on a show this size. You have to show some personality, especially on the live shows.

But here she is; one of the biggest celebrities on the planet, and Simon Cowell got her. Anyone saying she hasn't enough experience obviously doesn't know anything; in theory she is perfect for this show. IN THEORY. This is the kind of person they are looking for, so you'd hope she could spot talent coming a mile off. The only thing I'd worry about is is she ready for it? It's a hell of a big job and isn't her dad still her guardian (or something)? I really hope she does well, I like Britney and always hoped Justin Timberlake would have come back to rescue her.
Demi Lovato is the other new judge and I have to say I'm intrigued. She's been through quite a bit publicly for a 19 year old (not unlike Ms Spears) and she will bring one hell of a Disney audience with her too. Lots of talk about paychecks with Demi netting a $1 million to Britney's $15 million. Let's be honest though, Simon needed a big name and they don't come much bigger than Britney Spears; $15 million is going to seem like a drop in the ocean if Simon gets the ratings he's being bragging about. And come on; nearly anyone would have been better than Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger.
Both girls have been through a lot and I think it's fair to say they seem quite fragile; lets hope Simon knows what he's doing and, along with LA Reid and himself, he's brought together an ultimate team. Suit up.
