STAGE TUBE: Spears, Lovato Featured in New X FACTOR Promo

Recording artists Demi Lovato and Britney Spears will join Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid at the judge's table for the next season of THE X FACTOR USA. A new promo for the upcoming season of the singing competition featuring the new judges has just been released. Check it out below!

In a recent interview, Simon Cowell revealed that he thought Spears would be a "fascinating" addition to the show. The pair will be filling the vacant judge's seats left by Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, both fired from the show along with host Steve Jones after the first season.

Since its debut in 2004, THE X FACTOR has remained the U.K.'s #1 program for the last seven years, peaking with an audience of 21 million for its 2010 finale. The format swiftly broke similar records around the world, where local versions have consistently rated #1. The series has received numerous honors worldwide, and more than 100 million records have been sold by artists launched through the series, including over 90 #1 singles and albums and 150 Top Ten records.

In a departure from other singing competition series, the first time contestants audition for THE X FACTOR  judges, they will do so in front of an audience of thousands - raising the stakes and increasing the pressure to impress not only the judges, but also a potential legion of fans. This will be the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence that it takes to win an unprecedented $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.

THE X FACTOR is produced by Syco Television and FremantleMedia North America. Simon Cowell, Rob Wade and Siobhan Greene are executive producers for Syco Television. Cecile Frot-Coutaz, Richard Holloway and Andrew Llinares serve as executive producers for FremantleMedia North America.
