Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning worldwide pop icon Britney Spears and singer, songwriter and actress Demi Lovato will join L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell as judges on THE X FACTOR, the hit singing competition series returning this fall on FOX.
Spears is one of the most successful and celebrated entertainers in pop history. Her musical career boasts nearly 100 million albums sold worldwide and countless awards and accolades, including the 2011 MTV Video Vanguard Award and Billboard’s Best-Selling Female Artist of the Decade (1998-2008). Spears first captivated audiences with her first single “…Baby One More Time,” an international hit that is currently 14x Platinum in the U.S. So far, Spears has earned a total of five No.1 debut albums and 24 Top 40 songs in her career.
Lovato is an accomplished singer and actress with a devoted and engaged young fan base. Her single, “Skyscraper,” off of her most recent album, “Unbroken,” recently went platinum, while the video for her new single, “Give Your Heart a Break,” already has garnered 10 million YouTube views. Her first album, “Don't Forget,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and her second album, “Here We Go Again,” debuted at No. 1. Lovato began acting at the age of 10, and starred in the cable television series, “Sonny With A Chance.” Her film credits include “Camp Rock” and “Princess Protection Program.”
"I'm absolutely delighted Britney and Demi are joining us,” said Simon Cowell. “Britney remains one of the biggest stars in the world, she's talented, fascinating – and I believe she knows exactly how to spot THE X FACTOR. Demi's had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She's young, confident, and enthusiastic. I think it’s really important that she speaks to our younger audience. The new panel will be dynamic and will work really well with the changes we are making to the show.”
Spears added, “I couldn't be more excited to join THE X FACTOR judging panel. I'm a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action. Simon and L.A. better watch out!”
“I'm so thrilled to join this legendary group of judges on THE X FACTOR,” said Lovato. “To be able to spend each week with Simon, L.A. and Britney watching the best that America has to offer is truly a dream come true.”
Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, noted, “Britney is an unparalleled superstar. Her success in the music industry over the last two decades makes her a perfect fit for THE X FACTOR judging panel. Demi has mass appeal and is beloved by her fans around the world. We are incredibly lucky to have them on board and we know they will bring so much excitement to the judging table for Season Two!”
“Britney Spears has done it all – she is the ultimate pop icon – and I am thrilled that she has agreed to join THE X FACTOR,” said executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. “Nobody embodies THE X FACTOR more than Britney – she has shown the world what it means, how to do it and how to sustain it! Demi, like Britney, was discovered at a young age. Her ambition and drive solidifies her as one of the most popular young artists today. Now they will each get a chance to share their experiences and skills with the acts that they will mentor on THE X FACTOR.”
In its first season on FOX, THE X FACTOR shot to the top of the ratings as the No. 1 unscripted series of the fall and currently ranks as a Top 10 series among Adults 18-49 and the No. 1 new series among Women 18-49.
THE X FACTOR is searching for undiscovered talent 12 years old or over – both solo artists and vocal groups – who are willing to brave the panel for a chance to win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. Interested solo artists and vocal groups should sign up now for audition information at www.thexfactorusa.com.
In a departure from other singing competition series, the first time contestants audition for THE X FACTOR judges, they will do so in front of an audience of thousands – raising the stakes and increasing the pressure to impress not only the judges, but also a potential legion of fans. This will be the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence that it takes to win an unprecedented $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.

Let's be real now.
At least right now Demi is nothing yet compared to Britney...
They could have said it differently, but announcing Demi and Britney would show a difference in how big they are nonetheless

Months of speculation as to whether Britney Spears will join Fox’s The X Factor as one of its new female judges can finally come to a close.
The official word finally arrived on Monday at the Fox programming upfront held at New York's Beacon Theater. Spears, along with fellow pop star and tablemate Demi Lovato, who The Hollywood Reporter first reported was in the running, arrived on stage with creator Simon Cowell.
In early March, The Hollywood Reported reported that Spears was close to a deal, but according to an insider, the negotiations were delayed due to several reasons, chief among them: a request by the Spears camp to have edit approval and the issue of Spears' expenses, seeing as the mother of two will need to travel all over the country and the world (last year, Cowell staged part of the boot camp portion in France), use of private jets and other luxury expenditures.
Spears' contract with the show is worth an estimated $16 million dollars.
The deal makes Spears the highest paid judge on reality television. With the new deal, Spears tops former fellow Mickey Mouse Club member Christina Aguilera, who makes around $10 million for her participation in The Voice, and is ahead of Howard Stern's $15 million pay on America's Got Talent, another Cowell production. Jennifer Lopez’s American Idol salary has increased from $12 milllion and now stands closer to $15 million, it's been widely reported.
Spears' price tag also drains the coiffures for 18-year-old Lovato, who will only be paid around $1 million for her participation.
The two singers fill the spots vacated by Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger in a late-January bloodbath that would also leave host Steve Jones without a job.
Executive producer and judge Simon Cowell has said that he’s looking for star power to attract viewers to the show’s sophomore season. He also said that he’s looking for a competitive spirit, someone who understands the time needed to work with contestants and someone who’s willing to show their personality on TV. Apparently, Spears fit the bill.
"Sometimes you've gotta change things and I think change is good," Cowell said moments before the big reveal at the at the Beacon Theater on Monday. He then appeared alongside Spears and Lovato and declared, "Well, we delivered. Rumors are one thing -- delivering is something else. I'm thrilled to be able to confirm the return of L.A. Reid, the addition of Demi Lovato and the world's biggest pop, Britney Spears."
Said Spears: "I am so excited about this," while Reid added that X Factor was now "the Rolls Royce of television."
Within minutes, X Factor was trending worldwide.
Cowell added one last jab at his competition before exiting the stage, telling the gathered adverstisers and members of the press, "We're going to seriously kick butt... I'm thrilled The Voice has decided to compete against us. I wish them the best of luck."
According to an insider, the vibe in the green room, where Spears and Cowell gathered before taking the stage, was "very happy -- everyone was in a good mood."

Britney's getting 16 millions  and Demi 1 million, but who cares? She's getting the exposure she needs, she will get 16 millions (and more) when her successful world wide tour of her diamond certificated album ends in 2014
