The X Factor USA Archives

We are displeased to announce the official cancellation of The X Factor USA. The show just recruited Paula Rubino, Kelly Rowland and Demi Lovato for its third season, but has announced that it will not be going forward for a fourth season. Ugh. What will Simon Cowell do now? Perhaps he just wants to concentrate on being a father?

This fall, the show would have made its return, but Simon has announced that he will continue on with the U.K. version of the talent competition. Simon revealed in a statement, “I’ve had a fantastic time over the last twelve years, both on The X Factor and American Idol. And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public – most of the time!”

It’s a shame to see Simon withdrawing his show from American television. Are you sad to see it go? Now that The Voice and American Idol will have no competition, which of the two will you be tuning into on a regular basis? Have your say in the comments section below!

Demi Lovato has officially confirmed reports stating that she is leaving The X Factor USA. Are you shocked? She has judged the talent alongside Simon Cowell for two seasons now, but the Disney starlet says that it is enough already.

On Wednesday evening she took to the red carpet on the show to confirm her plans to focus on her career as opposed to continue sitting in the judge’s chair. She revealed, “I started the show being a singer and a musician, and so I’m going to go back to that. It’s been really great but I’m so excited for 2014. I’m going to dedicate it completely and entirely to music, touring and making a new album.”

She said, “Being able to sit next to Kelly and Paulina and see them twice a week, and also helping mentor the contestants.”

The show’s creator, Simon Cowell added, “I always knew she wasn’t coming back because she’s touring, so I knew that.”

Have you liked Demi’s judging and mentoring abilities on the show these past two years? Or do you think that she is easily replaced as a seat warmer? Rumor has it that Simon is looking to snag Miley Cyrus to fill Demi’s spot on the popular talent competition. We’re guessing that if he is able to get Miley, he won’t be shelling out a mere million bucks for the privilege. What do you think? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below and tell us who you think would be a good fit to judge the competition next season.

Demi Lovato Disses Justin Bieber At X Factor USA 2013 Auditions?

Is Demi Lovato dissing on Justin Bieber during her time as a judge on the upcoming season of The X Factor USA 2013? It would appear so, according to this latest report from celebrity gossip website TMZ.

Reportedly, Demi was judging some of the acts when one contestant got dissed for acting like a punk while on the stage.

TMZ has the scoop:

It all went down Wednesday on the campus of USC when Demi took exception to the attitude one contestant was giving off. Sources on set say when it was Demi’s turn to give her opinion on the 22-year-old wannabe, she said that the industry already has too many artists with bad attitudes and then commented, “We don’t need another little punk running the streets.”
Lovato’s next shot was less subtle … when a young man auditioned with Bieber’s own song, “As Long As You Love Me.” We’re told the audience loved his performance and so did the judges, but during her critique, Demi remarked, “Well finally someone can sing the song the way it was meant to be sung.”

Apparently Demi wasn’t feeling like she was in the insulting mood when she took to her official Twitter account to discuss the teen singer. She tweeted, “Btw – no shade thrown at Justin. So many people audition with his songs.. Finally someone sang it the way it was meant to be sung.. Meaning, finally someone sang it the way JUSTIN sang it. Ain’t got nothin’ but love for @justinbieber and his beliebers.”

Was Demi merely trying to head off Justin’s throngs of fans before they all got crazy and decided to start the hate in her general direction? What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
