Fox announced today that Demi Lovato will return to their network for The X Factor season three.
“I am so excited to return as a judge and mentor on The X Factor,” said Lovato in a press release. “Last season was an unbelievable experience and I really enjoyed developing personal relationships with the contestants and the panel. I look forward to taking my previous experience and applying it to make this season even better.”
Added Simon Cowell, who’s presumed to return as a judge. “I couldn’t be happier that Demi wants to come back this year. She’s a superstar in her own right and was a fantastic mentor last year. Even though she can be really, really annoying – I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists. I’m especially pleased she’s back, even during her world tour!”
Despite these two returning for X Factor season three, we learned earlier this year that L.A. Reid and Britney Spears are both finished with the show. There’s no word yet on who will be selected to fill their seats, but presumably Cowell will attempt to find big name stars.
Or, Cowell could be unconventional and find fresh talent (relative unknowns) who could win over viewers like he, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul did during the first few seasons of American Idol.
X Factor season three will launch this Fall on Fox.
