People have to realize thAt simon cowell is about money and will do anything to boost ratings. If britney doesn't do that she will be axed. I hope she will be able to handle simone arrogant ways too. @ASAP britney has not sold 1 milli copies in the US yet, after one year and her album was off the billboard 200 four months ago. Her sales worldwide has stalled too. I wonder where you got that info. American Idol did not do anything to jlo's career. I wonder what it would do to Britney's. I highly doubt I will tune in, people have lost interest in Britney. TRUTH
