@PAT It's not about who's a bigger star in the long run. Paula Abdul was not a big star when American Idol began. It is, however, about personality and appeal to viewers which Janet does not have. Toni has shown on BFV and in interviews that she can be caring, funny, a diva, and at times mean and vicious. Janet and Latoya speak like an innocent, soft spoken child which comes off as contrived and is a major bore. Janet may pull in viewers initially but I doubt many will stick around to hear her baby talk and since she's a "bigger star" like you say maybe she doesn't have the time to commit to the contestants. Besides Toni is a pianist and has an educational background in music from Bowie State. My comment was and is not from a place of "stanning" because I don't "stan" for any artist but I do support talented artists like Janet and Toni. I want to see both be successful but I think that X-Factor judging is better suited for Toni's career.
