Pop superstar Britney Spears has reportedly decided on her own that she will not return to The X Factor for a second season.

TMZ broke the story which may not come as a surprise to those who watched the singing competition. Having only joined the show for season 2, Spears underwhelmed in her judging style and often seemed lost and unenthused during the broadcasts. She had some particularly bad flubs during live shows.

“We have unimpeachable sources who tell us Britney loves the show but wants to focus on her music,” said TMZ. Spears is currently working with Will.I.Am. and producer Hit Boy.

Are you surprised, sad, or another adjective that Spears is leaving The X Factor?

Is there any life yet for Simon Cowell’s competition? The show had a major shake up after season 1 when Cowell let go of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. A few weeks ago we learned that L.A. Reid would not return for X Factor season 3, meaning Cowell will have to replace at least two people. There’s no word yet if Demi Lovato has decided to stay or go, but we feel she’d be a better pick for a second run over Spears.
