Demi Lovato to Join X-Factor

Demi Lovato, once known mostly for her acting career on Disney will now be known as one of the newest judges on Simon Cowell’s “X-Factor”. Demi is expected to join Britney Spears as the newcomers expected to replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. These two are an interesting choice for the second season of X-Factor” for it seems like they are looking to gravitate towards a young audience by bringing in artists who have not only appealed to teens and young adults, but who have also had their personal problems documented in the public. The announcement is expected today at the Upfronts for Fox, and I’m curious to see how this plays out in the second season. It will make me tune in just to see if Demi and Britney can make this work on live tv.
