Would Britney Spears Make a Good 'X Factor' Judge?

"The X Factor" has been tossing around a lot of names following the abrupt ousting of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. Whitney Houston is obviously out of the question, and Janet Jackson had to back out because she had prior commitments. The latest name attached to the position is Britney Spears, and it sounds like she's interested, but there's a big gap between their offer and her request. According to E! News, she wants $16 million. "X Factor" only offered $10 million.

A couple of weeks ago, creator and judge Simon Cowell said in a conference, "I'm fascinated by Britney. The fact that she's one of the most talked about — not just pop stars but people — in the world today, means that you've got this star power. This girl has resilience. I would think that if she's managed to sustain a family, a career, which is tough, this would be a walk in the park. I would be fascinated to hear what she has to say. She's still hot, she's still having hit records and she's still controversial. There's a reason for that." Do you think Britney Spears would be a good addition to "X Factor"?

    I don't think people should be able to judge someone on their talents unless they are talented in that area too, and considering Brittany spears is a horrible singer and sounds like a baby when she sings then she definantly does not deserve the right to judge others on their singing skills

    Sure why not, she's been there and she's not half bad. She seen the good, bad and the ugly and she still out there so why not give her a shot. They could sure find worse!

    The only way I see her doing this if the price is right and her money hungry music people think they can make BIG dollars off of her by doing it.
    Everybody knows she is a dead horse at this point, with her voice overs, slut like outfits and hair plugs come one she was cured of her deep seeded mentil issues in a matter of weeks,,yah right she is all better now, sure she is,,,, NOT!! : )

    I have to say NO, though I LOVE BRITNEY and I've been her fan since 1999 I couldn't see her as a judge on a talent contest assuming that she's more an dancer/entertainer than a professional singer, maybe if the show was about a coreographic competence I could accept Brit as judge...and I also think she wouldn't be much interested joining American Idol as judge

    shouldn't you at least have a decent singing voice to be a judge??? It doesn't seem right that paula and J-Lo...whom I do like.....are judging people who can sing circles around them....at least the VOICE has 4 outstanding vocalists doing the .judging. (it's like Ellen being a judge a few years back....what a crock!---and I like Ellen too, but pleeeaaazzzzze!

    AMEN!!! Seriously I couldn't agree more, I also Paula and J lo but I honestly would say I think they both suck at singing and even they're better than Brittany spears, she has no talent, and unless you a good singer I don't think you should be a judge for a singing show, thank God I'm not the only one who thinks that, I said the same thing about Brittany on my comment, two people that have some sense lol

    I think it would be a cake walk for her. It's not like the winners are always the best singers technically. You just have to be able to tell what you like, and who has the best stage presence. Her "southern charm" may even make the show bearable.

    And I don't know why some of you hate her so much. She is NOT talentless. She has a good voice. You may not like what she does, but that doesn't make her talentless. She IS a great pop artist,one of the best to ever come along. I don't understand you hating asswipes. Jealously perhaps? She seems to have worked through her personal issues, which are really none of our business anyway. For all the crap I hear about how lousy she is and autotuning, it just doesn't add up. SOMEONE is buying her records...Duhh.

    Well, I'm not gonna deny you that opinion. The thing is X and Idol aren't looking for the best singer. They are looking for marketable star power. I think the UK version actually
    leans more towards technically good singers. Haven't watched Voice much. Here, it's all about manufacturing the next big thing. Whether you like what Brittney does or not, you can't deny that she's been the next big thing or that she has great star power. Not sayin you or I can explain it, just that it's a fact. You have to consider the view to which they are judging. If it were me there probably wouldn't be half as many on the show by the time they got to Hollywood. And like I said, somebody buys her records or she wouldn't even be considered for the job. Here's a question. How long had it been since Paula did anything of note before Idol? I'm just sayin...

    I know that a lot of people argue that doesn't have a very good voice, but she practically defined the 2000's. She's been in the music industry for over 10 years and she knows what she's talking about, so I think she'd make a very good judge. And if she became a judge on the X Factor, I might actually watch it for the first time in my life.

    Her style isn't my favorite but she's a pretty damn good entertainer.

    Boohoo she might not get the $16 million she wants, if she doesn't take their offer that's HER loss.

    I love Britney, but I don't follow why lately these shows have ultra famous judges, what a waste! I want to see these stars PERFORM not judge... Besides aren't these shows supposed to be about the contestants? Nobody will care about them with such judges

    I think it mostly about the ratings, they must feel that people will tune in if they can get a super star sitting in the judges chair, but I could be totally wrong, Just a thought : )
