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?
