TwistedElegance™ Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sorry if posted. Simon Cowell is once again discussing the upcoming cast changes for his second season of X Factor, and while confirming that they are looking for two ladies to fill the open spots on the judges panel and a man and woman as co-hosts, he's keeping quiet about potential replacements Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, who have both expressed interest in the reality competition! He explains: "I couldn't comment on it. Are we flattered that there could be interest? Yes. Other than that, there's going to be a lot of twists and turns over the next few weeks and a lot of things we're going to announce." And on the hosts: "It's almost impossible to have one person doing this hosting job. You've got so much information now on telephone lines, the integrations of the sponsors — [the hosts are] like newscasters now. I think you can see a very different chemistry with two people. I always wanted a boy and a girl to host the show. I think that's definitely going to happen now. I think we've learned how we can make the show better. I like the fact that it's got very competitive now [against The Voice and American Idol]. It's kind of exciting." Ha! We think that they only person getting super competitive over the other singing competitions is you, Simon! But that's okay! We love a good challenge - and we would LOVE Brit Brit and Janet as judges on X Factor! http://perezhilton.com/2012-02-23-simon-cowell-talks-janet-jackson-britney-spears-x-factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJoe Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Janet hopefully won't be a judge. Maybe a guest judge or host sometimes but that's about it hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeJoe Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I didnt know Britney Spears was interested. WTF :lmao: I don't believe it nor do I believe Janet was interested. I think they both may have been approached but as for them approaching the show...no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloLove Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 wait are they interested in janet or is janet interested in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 He said, "are we flattered that there could be interest?", I think that means Janet and Britney were probably both asked during interviews and neither of them gave a flat out "no". That probably justifies interest. I doubt either of them would approach the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta. Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 In a perfect world, Janet would be interested, Simon would be reaching out to her about it, and I would be feeling like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphraimAdamz Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I take it they couldn't get Janet, so they went after her half assed clone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It could be nice to see her, but again only for one season and I want a new project with it. (Album or movie, I'm content either way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ^^^Right. A one season deal would really get Janet back in good graces with the public, and today's generation wouldn't just know her as the boob lady. Plus the exposure would be immeasurable, and Janet performing on X-Factor would almost guarantee a successful album or single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Miss Strawberry Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't know Janet always said she wanted to mentor people and write or produce for other people so it doesn't really surprise me that she showed interest , and you know damn well britney is probably begging but if Simon is samrt he's going with Janet and probaly either Pink or Katy Perry ( who he said he wanted for the show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Janet Officially Declines 'X Factor' Gig From the moment The X Factor let go of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, speculation ran rampant as to who will fill their mentor seats in season two. Simon Cowell Talks New X Factor Hosts On February 22, Simon Cowell revealed that Paula and Nicole would be replaced by two women, so naturally a short list of A-list ladies (who need no surname) began to formulate: Mariah. Britney. Pink. Janet. Meet The American Idol Top 24 Well, you can officially cut that list by one, because Janet Jackson tells TheInsider.com that she is "very flattered that X Factor let me know that I was being considered for next season, but it just wouldn't be possible." Citing a previous commitment to her Number Ones Up Close and Personal Tour (which kicks off again this summer) and Lionsgate (the studio behind Tyler Perry's movies), Janet simply felt taking on a TV gig would be "unrealistic" at this time. Janet Jackson Talks Nutrisystem Janet's team added, "There have been absolutely no meetings between Janet and anyone with regard to X-Factor," so apparently her rumored participation was simply a fan fabrication. Although it's easy to understand why the hit-maker's name would be bandied about, since she's topped the charts for more than three decades! http://www.theinsider.com/tv/50099_Janet_Jackson_Declines_X_Factor_Job/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta. Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I would love it if she stopped the tour and did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Well the tour is introducing her to new audiences and reclaiming the old. I think it's better for her career and her image than X-Factor, that is, if it's promoted well enough. It's also more appealing since they get to see her in action as opposed to just giving advice. Not to mention the movie. Moreover, I'm very happy with her choice. Do your thing, baby! I'm with you 100% :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idrag4mj Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 wish she did the xfactor ..but as long as she happy doing whatever shes doing..im happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Well now Im slightly sad, I was REALLLLLY getting used to the idea of her doing it, to seeing her every week and the public loving her....but she's gotta do what she's gotta do....but still, I grew to like the idea alot.

Paul Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 What is the point of trekking round the world with her tour when she has already done loads of dates to build up her fanbase when if she wanted to reach people she could judge on the x factor and hit millions more people? It make cheryl cole huge in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It make cheryl cole huge in the uk Though Janet never had a "official" meeting with them, more than likely talks fell through between Janet's camp and Simon/X-Factor's camp. If everything had worked out I'm sure the tour would have been postponed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
