Britney Spears Officially Leaves The X Factor

Britney Spears announced that she's leaving The X Factor today.


Britney Spears announced that she's leaving The X Factor today. She shared the news after speculation came out earlier this week that she would not be returning for the third season. Britney released a statement, saying:

"I've made the very difficult decision not to return for another season. I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges, and I am so proud of my teens, but it's time for me to get back in the studio. Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can't wait to get back out there and do what I love most."

Britney Spears Is Leaving The X Factor: Will You Miss Her?

It's a good thing that TV's singing competitions have added other pop stars to their judging panels, because next season, there'll be no words of wisdom from Britney.

It's a good thing that TV's singing competitions have added other pop stars to their judging panels, because next season, there'll be no words of wisdom from Britney. Reportedly, Britney Spears won't be coming back to The X Factor for season three, though Fox has not officially confirmed the news yet.

Though we're not really surprised about this announcement — Spears never seemed supercomfortable at the judges' table — she was at least an interesting addition and could usually hold her own against Simon. However, it's rumored that the media criticism of Spears was behind the producers' decision not to ask her back, but we're wondering if you were as critical. Did you like Spears as an X Factor judge, and will you miss her next season?

Britney Spears Supports Carly as Tate Stevens Wins The X Factor

L.A. Reid's protégé Tate Stevens was named the winner of The X Factor season two last night.

L.A. Reid's protégé Tate Stevens was named the winner of The X Factor season two last night. The country star beat out Britney Spears's protégée Carly Rose Sonenclar and Simon Cowell's Fifth Harmony for the top spot and a $5 million recording contract. Carly finished second while Fifth Harmony placed third. Britney shared her support for Carly on Twitter, writing, "You are a winner in my eyes tonight Carly and I know you're going to have a very long career." The event wasn't just about music, though, since judge Demi Lovato, who didn't have anyone in the finals, wowed in a hologram minidress with cutout details. Cohost Khloé Kardashian wore a sequined pink look and later changed into black leather with a rhinestone headband from Untamed Petals. Special guests included One Direction and Pitbull, who both performed during the special finale.

Although her protégée didn't win, Britney said that The X Factor has been a positive influence on her and has helped her get over her shyness. Britney said, "It's no secret I'm a shy person. I feel doing this show over the past year has allowed me to come out of my shell a lot more. Everyone on the show has been amazing and made me feel really comfortable." Britney clearly enjoys her time on The X Factor and has already confirmed that she'll return for season three.
