Britney Spears may be all smile in the shot above, but if new reports are to be believed she won’t have much to smile about regarding her involvement (or lackthereof) in the next season of The X Factor USA.
Famously signed up this season for a whopping $15 million, the ‘My Prerogative’ singer failed to rocket the ratings for the Fox show – which continues to trail behind more successful competitors American Idol and The Voice – the latter of which has, up until recently, starred Spears’ longtime rival Christina Aguilera.
According to US Weekly, the show’s producers were banking (quite literally) on getting “bonkers Britney”. What they received instead was a vapid shell of the singer’s former self, boasting all the personality of a boiled egg. Something we feel is amply deserved. For, anyone with a legit ear and eye to the trainwreck that continues to be Britney’s latter day career would have known she hasn’t been “herself” for almost 7 years. As such, joining in on the clear exploitation of an act who clearly needs to not be in the spotlight at present ultimately blew up in many a corporate face. So much so that they supposedly are ready to bin Britney for the show’s upcoming 3rd season.
Of course, it’s imperative to point out that the 31 year old was only ever signed to a one-year deal; a fact which ignites debate as to whether she’d actually be getting “fired” or simply “moving on”. However, in keeping it all the way 100, if her stint was the raving success intended, both parties would be doing bad business by dissolving it. Indeed, the show would continue to benefit from a A-star name, while Britney could reap the reward of weekly exposure without having to embarrass herself with the rigours of doing what most artists have to do – perform. The fact the opposite is seemingly happening speaks volumes.
However this plays out, it serves as yet more proof that ratings aren’t generated by simply throwing money at a format – or in this case, a “lacking” entity.
With budget cuts highly likely for the show, here’s hoping this forces the producers to actually produce a compelling product rather than relying on a barely there judge to do it for them. There are many creative ways to spend $15 million, and as time has shown, Britney Spears isn’t one of them.

with la reid leaving and britney leaving, this bring the tally of ppl who left the show to 5. Britney was not bringing in the ratings, they had almost 1/2 of the voice. the finally of the voice had 14.13 views while x factor only received 9.66. idc what ppl say about christina being in britney’s shadow, well at lease christina was on a more successful show, and hate her or love her, she gave criticism, something britney never offer to their contestants. she was NOT worth $15 million. she gave no viewers nor did she give anything interesting. she didnt even perform on the show. she was just awful for the show. i say put toni braxton as her replacement and and idk, some1 else to replace la reid.

To be completely honest, a MAJORITY of the talent on there was not that good. The show was a train wreck and was a hot ass mess. So the producers can “blame” Britney all they want but in reality the way the show is created was straight up garbage. Let’s be honest, there were only like 4 contestants on their that had the “x-factor” and any possibility of a career.
You can go in on Britney for whatever reasons, but give credit to where it due. She’s been in the industry for so damn long, since she was a kid. She had that X-Factor and that’s how she became so successful and iconic. From the start of her teen solo career she was a superstar and y’all can’t deny that at all. She upped the game on what a female popstar is. We all know her voice isn’t strong, it never has been, but there’s something about her that is intriguing.
And hell, I think we’re all happy Brit’s come back after 2007. She’s too good for that train wreck of a show anyways.

she’s treated as a celeb possessing the x factor when she’s only and ex superstar. she can’t sing, can’t dance, reflects no on camera charisma. all she can do is be NICE which is getting her over.

I don’t think that having the X-factor is about being able hit Patti Labelle vocals. Madonna is a legend and she isn’t the best singer. Neither is Britney but the success and appeal she had in her youth means she had something others lacked. In that sense I think there’s nothing wrong with judging the X-factor (as opposed to the Voice). The only problem I have with her is her criticism is just so base and some of her responses seem so generic compared to Demi who although much younger seems more knowledgeable.

Britney deserved to go everything just for the simple fact that everything was amazing like why did Simon pay her 15M just to say amazing plus it did not boost the ratings.
Then people need to stop saying Nicki is not talented…..I’m sorry but her mixtapes and her first studio album proved that when she is using her real talent she is the best rapper in the current game and only probably Azealia Banks can touch her. Her verse on Monster whether written or not by Kanye shows that because it was her flow and delivery that made the other 3 veterans looks like basic.Saying Nicki is talented is just pure hate even if she is not currently using it.

I knew it. I knew it was a bad idea since day 1. Everyone knows that Britney lacks of talent. How can she be a judge and a mentor of aspiring singers when she hasn’t sung any of her songs live and has no input in her work? PATHETIC! If I were one of X-Factor contestants and Britney “LIPSYNC” Spears said anything bad about my performance, I would put that bitch in her place. I would just laugh and say how ridiculous she is for saying that. She isn’t on the position to judge no one. NO ONE! I watched one episode and she doesn’t even know how to speak, it was clear that she was reading a script – at least I discovered that she can read. She doesn’t have a strong personality and credibily to critize others.
She’d better leave the show and keep singing these generic gay club hits and leave talent for whom it belongs to.
I don’t think she’ll return to X-Failure. Simon Cowell won’t pay her another $15 million. The show had better ratings with Nicole Scherzinger, and he only gave her $1 million. I think he’ll offer her less than $10 million, but her team will decline it.
I still remember her delusional fans saying that NO-Factor would break records. LOL. Now these bitches are praying for her leave the show. I can’t. X-Failure, Femme Floptale, Femme Floptale Tour, no Grammy nomination… and Britards still dare to say that Lady Godga is irrelevant. We are just laughing.
She’s releasing her new album in 2013 against the King Bee and Lady Godga, and we all know that they’ll put Britney’s back against the wall and tell her how it is and how it is done like they did in 2008 and 2011. She’s going to be their bitch. AGAIN.

December 28, 2012 at 11:13 am
It seems that a lot of Britney fans are stuck in the year 2000 and act like this is still the “Oops! I Did It Again!” era Britney they’re talking about. They called Christina a flop for doing “The Voice” but when Britney signed on for “X-Factor” they kept harping on her 15 million dollar salary and saying that unlike Christina, she didn’t “have” to do a reality show. I also remember them saying that Britney would draw 20 million viewers a week or some craziness, and when the actual numbers came in and week after week, “The Voice” kept beating “X-Factor”, they had to backtrack and rationalize and make excuses for why Britney wasn’t bringing in the numbers they initially thought she would.
“4″ was called a “flop”, yet it sold more first week than “Femme Fatale” in spite of being r&b and not electro-pop, and without the Amazon discount, “Born This Way” still sold about 400k more and the BTWB will outgross whatever the FF tour made, but the Britney fans would rather ignore that and call them flops simply because they didn’t have a string of #1 hits on the Hot 100 and their albums–and everyone else’s, including Britney–got outsold by “21″. Even at their so-called “floppiest” Beyonce and Gaga still outshone Britney, but the Britney fans will never admit that, they’d rather live in the past and keep bringing up her previous achievements to make a point.

Britney was a boring judge, but she wasn’t the problem with this show. Something about this show just doesn’t connect with the American audience (unlike in Britain, where the show is a hit). Simon was super-popular on American Idol, but his popularity hasn’t carried X-Factor to Idol heights, so I don’t know if ANYONE can make this show a hit.

i’ll give it to britney’s fans. they’re loyal to the point of real delusion. they seem really emotionally invested in her as a person. if she sold 12 albums they would call her queen. if christina fans were half as loyal, ‘lotus’ wouldn’t be flopping.

she is supposed to be coming back for season five. right now she’s trying to save her dying album that no one seems to be supporting even though it’s every bit as good as anything that electro stuff that’s out there.
between disloyal fans and the media turning off any new ones with negativity christina didn’t stand a chance.
if britney’s light goes out the media will definitely finish off christina. no way will they let christina outshine her.

is she under contract to do another album? anyone can predict that it’ll do worse than ff. she’s a washed-up, used-to-be pop princess who needs to retire entirely. its a good thing she has most of the media on her side to help her seem more relevant than she is. otherwise she wouldof dropped completely off the radar after the 2007 vmas.

i actually thought Britney would make e X Factor an interesting watch but i was dead wrong. she just sounds like a whinny little bimbo repeating the same things over and over again. Demi had better contributions than her! what a shame considering Britney is supposed to be a legend and an icon. the only thing interesting bout Britney on the show was e faces she would make. i eventually stopped watching the show cos i couldnt stand her bimboticness anymore. in her place, i hope to see P!nk or Toni Braxton! i think they should stop getting judges that they think will bring in e audiences, but instead get proper talented artistes, like Toni and P!nk, to do the judging!

I look at this differently. Being an American who followed the UK version. I look at how they mentor more than I look how they judge. At the end of the day, Britney knew what she was doing win it came to her youngsters. Demi on the otherhand SUCKED as a mentor. She spent her time trying to make her young adults into her and that was the problem. The show overall though, the best performances from everyone in the live shows were the songs THEY THEMSELVES CHOSE. I will agree with an earlier statement that the show this year was low on true talent compared to last year’s show.
On the LA tip though, I have no clue who will replace him. I would say Jimmy Iovine but Idol already took him. so we’ll see. I hope they replace Demi though…

Meh. I laugh at them thinking that Britney was going to skyrocket the ratings in the first place. I never watched X-Factor, knowing full well she was there. See how that goes? All these stunt castings are a waste of money. The bottom line is that these shows are now tired. It would take 2Pac back from the grave in hologram form sitting on the judges panel to get people to watch.

I hate the spirit this article was written in. This is the first time Britney has been stable in her life and career in a long time. She just made Forbes list of top 20 most paid singers of the world. She should be commended and celebrated instead of exploited and further broken down by the industry.

her life is stable because her father is acting as her conservator and she’s not on her own. her record sales are just mediocre compared to all the raving her fans do about her “slaying” and being the “queen”. this hasn’t been close to the truth since 2003.

So because Britney isn’t flying off the handle and being a catty FAT selfish c*** and constantly bringing the conversation back to her…. she’s not being herself? I’m sorry but Britney has always held back herself, her personality, and been very impersonal to the public. She’s always let the music speak for itself, she doesn’t have to ride on a fake personality and schticks and gimmicks. She’s always had her quiet down home girl meets sexy vixen image so cut the crap. You fucking tried bitch. Britney has always served femmebot REALNESS and will continue so if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. You young gorls I swear to God I can’t.

It all makes sense. I love Britney but I saw a few episodes of the “X Factor” and she just seems so uncomfortable and it looks as if she doesn’t even want to be there. The show is stupid and is just a rip off of “American Idol” so who can really even blame her. How many of these dumb shows do we really even need?

Okay, this is complete bullsh**! Britney Spears cannot single handedly sustain a show like X-Factor. Perhaps that bald-head black bastard LA Reid or Simon COW-es evil a** are responsible for the lack of ratings! Why is everybody blaming Britney?

For real tho, if anyone has watched this show they will know that it is such a fucking mess. Ain’t nobody that could save that whack ass show. If Britney weren’t a judge ain’t nobody would’ve watched. Like it or not Britney is a huge talent for lasting so long in the industry and she still be getting those #1′s. Tthat show needs to be cancelled in all honesty tho.

“Like it or not Britney is a huge talent for lasting so long in the industry”
:::blank stare @ you:::
Put Britney on stage with no little rehearsal, no backup dancers to create a distraction, no backup singers to carry the song, minimalist props…but with a live mic…and you’ll see how “talented” she is. I can’t with you silly 90s babies getting on here thinking that talent and success are interchangeable, or that the latter cancels out the need for the former. Success is largely orchestrated by the industry higher ups who have the power to make someone a star, or keep them from becoming one. Anyone’s success can crash and burn in an instant. Your talent they can’t take away from you.
When it comes to Britney, the “talent” is in her team of managers, agents, publicists, lawyers, A&R people, songwriters, producers, choreographers, stylists, make up people, personal trainers and video directors.

wow! someone else bringin’ hard rational truth to a britney post.
the media also has a lot to do with the orchestration of success. imo both have contributed to the near demise of christina by continuously building an image of her as a flop and one to be hated. christina has had a lot of successes and accomplishments that are never mentioned in order for the negative image to prevail. sad!!!

rumour alert, Cowell has approached Jennifer Lopez and singer Ne-yo to replace L.A. Reid and Britney Spears. should Lopez turn the gig down (which she might have to due to her label obligations at island-defjam, as Sony looks after the x factor) Jennifer Hudson, or Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie will be approached to see if they’re interested.Dr. Luke, who recently launched kemosabe records at Sony is thought to also be in the running as the other potential make judge.

I’m never one to defend Britney cuz I’m not a fan like I use to be but x factor is about having the whole package and being a popstar. Not like American idol and the voice where it’s just about how good u sing. Obviously she was put on there for ratings tho unsurprisingly. So it backfired. Hahaha.

I hate how some people judge her like they know what REALLY goes on in her life. You people just have the media to rely on for the ‘facts’ you believe to be true. She’s gone a long way ever since the breakdown and that’s a wonderful thing. Yes she may not be as talented as your favorites and yes her team and the media probably made her the star that she is but I think she also worked her ass off to be where she is right now.

she is not the only artist that has worked their asses of to obtain (or try to obtain) success. they’ve all been talented and didn’t receive special treatment out of pity or in remembrance of what they used to be.
christina has worked her ass of also and she gets nothing from the media but criticism and scorn.
imo the media is hating on christina because even though her voice is not what it was she is still highly talented and if given her dues she would have surpassed britney by now. the media favor (and always have) britney over christina and wanted britney christened the next madonna.
showbiz is a place for the talented. it’s sad what’s happened to britney but the deluding needs to stop.
her presence at the ‘whitney’ tribute was a joke. between the two, it should have been christina.
