Simon Cowell Hints Demi Lovato Will Return to X FACTOR

In an interview this week for On Air with Ryan Seacrest, X FACTOR judge Simon Cowell hinted that Demi Lovato will return to the judge's panel on the next season of The Voice competition.

Commented Cowell, "Nothing is official but I liked having Demi on the show. She's fun to work with," and added, "I think we'd be crazy not to have her back."

If she returns to her post as mentor and judge for the FOX reality show, Lovato, along will Cowell, will be the only returning members of the celebrity panel. L.A. Reid announced that he would not return at the close of last year's second season, while new judge Britney Spears was reportedly not asked to return to the show.

About THE X FACTOR:

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, Simon Cowell, Antonio "L.A." Reid, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, 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.
