Ever since The X Factor ended its season, people have been wondering if Britney Spears would be back for another season. Especially since there have been rumors that she is going to fired from the singing competition. Well according to TMZ she is beating them to the bullet and quitting the show before they quit her. TMZ says she is leaving to focus on her music.
Look I can’t say I blame her because the show didn’t do anything for her career unlike what Idol did for Jennifer Lopez’s. At least she got paid very very very well for a few months of work.
So now that Britney is leaving and L.A. Reid already left, looks like Simon Cowell will once again have 2 slots to fill on the show that no one talks or really cares about except to find out which judge is going to quit or get fired. Personally I think Fox should replace the show because I really don’t think anyone would miss it. You know since most people don’t even know it is still on.
Last year when Fox announced that Britney Spears was going to be a judge on The X Factor, we were really curious what she would bring to the show. But then we realized that she really is quite boring and doesn’t have a lot to say, so we kind of knew she wouldn’t bring much to the Fox singing competition.
Well seems like the last person to know that was Simon Cowell and now according to Us Weekly, he is planning to X her from the show like he has done to Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul and Steve Jones.
One source told the mag, “They paid all that for her to say ‘amazing’ and offer half-claps.” She reportedly got $15 million for the gig and instead of helping ratings, the show lost a chunk of their viewers from the first season. But I wouldn’t blame her for that, I would blame the show because it hasn’t changed its format since American Idol launched. At least The Voice changes it up, so you never what will happen throughout the season.
Another source said, “He (Cowell) wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney.” Even when she was “Crazy Britney”, it was a different type of crazy. She has always been boring in interviews and that never changed.
So now Cowell has two slots to fill at the judging table and many of us are wishing the show would just be replaced too. Because let’s be real, the show might do OK for Fox in the ratings but it hasn’t done well with producing any buzz or singers.
Would anyone miss the show if it was gone? And how many of you knew it was still on?
The American version of The X Factor can’t keep a judge on the show, who isn’t the singing competition’s creator, because the only other original is leaving the show. First Cheryl Cole was fired before the show even debuted last year. Then after the first season was done, so were Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. The second’s season panel consisted of returning judges Simon Cowell and LA Reid, and newcomers Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. When the show returns next fall, at least one of them won’t be there. When the Randy Jackson clone was asked if he would be back, he told Access Hollywood, “I have decided that I will not to return to The X Factor next year.” He then explained, “I have to go back. I have a company to run that I have kind of neglected. It saddens me a little bit, but only a little bit.” My translation of that, I thought the show was going to make more well known and give me a few more great artists and it hasn’t done neither, so I will go back to where I am true success.
What do you think of his departure? Will you miss him? Or were you like who is he? Or was it that show is still on the air? And it is coming back for another season?
Simon Cowell is known for his mouth, but that might be changing with some Words of Wizdumb he got on Thanksgiving. The King of Mean Tweeted, “I went to a thanksgiving party and someone told me to listen rather than talk. You have two ears and one mouth. Very good advice.” Does anyone really think he will actually be able to listen people as compared to critiquing them? I mean he never misses an opportunity to shoot his mouth off about anything and everything. Plus that is his bread and butter, what else does he have? A hairy chest? Moobs? His hair? Tight shirts? Nah, he will stick with what he does best, talking!
Kid Rock was on Howard Stern‘s radio show yesterday and he said he wants to punch Simon Cowell in the face. Pamela Anderson’s ex said he is sick of The X Factor judge acting like he is the best A&R guy in the world, so he wants to physically show him he feels about it. So far the two have never met, and I kind of hope they do soon. Is it wrong I want to see if Rock will actually make his words a reality? I doubt he would, but you never know. So Simon let’s find out if he is serious and have him on your Fox singing competition before the season ends. It would greatly improve the ratings because people would tune in to see what/if anything he would do to you when he meets you in person. My gut says he will like you so much that you will go out for a drink afterwards and become fast friends, but then again I could be wrong.
