She started out as one of my favorite judges on The X Factor USA 2012, but as the season went on the bickering between Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell got a little old, but I guess we will have to sit through it again on The X Factor USA 2013 as FOX has confirmed that Demi Lovato to return as a judge on The X Factor Season 3. Don’t get me wrong, I think this is great news for the show.

They may not have won The X Factor USA 2012, but Fifth Harmony is still going strong after signing a record deal and now they look to be working on some cover songs, including “Stay” by Rihanna and you can see Fifth Harmony covers Rihanna below. The girls never impressed me too much on The X Factor USA Season 2, but they must have been putting some work in because this is a pretty good song for them.

Britney Spears confirmed today that she is leaving The X Factor USA, whether it was a voluntary departure or she got fired is still up in the air, but now rumors have Britney is in the works to headline a show in Las Vegas! Maybe that is why she did literally quit The X Factor USA 2012? Nothing is confirmed, but it seems people in Vegas are trying to woo her for a Britney Spears Vegas show. Would you go see it?

They may not have won the $5 million recording contract on The X Factor USA 2012, but it looks like Simon Cowell to sign Fifth Harmony may become a reality. The girl group made a surprise run to The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale, which goes to show they have a big fan base out there, but are they worthy enough of being signed by Simon Cowell’s label? Simon Cowell has hinted at a possible signing of the girls from The X Factor 2012!

It seems we have some unhappy people at The X Factor USA 2012 and rumors are saying that Britney Spears fired as X Factor judge after just one season! We all know the show has struggled in it’s two seasons to keep up with The Voice in the ratings and has juggled judges, but are they really getting rid of Britney Spears on The X Factor Season 3? FOX did announce that The X Factor would return for Season 3, but who the judges will be is unknown and now sources are saying Britney Spears fired as The X Factor USA judge!

If you want to entertain a crowd then the person to get is Pitbull and that is what The X Factor USA 2012 did when they booked him for the finale show! Pitbull performed on The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale tonight and of course, he rocked it out. The X Factor 2012 had two hours to fill, so they brought out Pitbull and One Direction to help pass the time a little for the girls screaming in the audience. Check out Pitbull perform on The X Factor Season 2 below.

We all know The X Factor USA 2012 had two hours of air time to fill tonight, so to help fill that time they welcomed back One Direction to perform on The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale! One Direction got their start on the U.K. version of The X Factor, but have made it big in the United States and were here earlier this season to perform on The X Factor Season 2, but they made their way back for the finale. Check out One Direction perform on The X Factor USA 2012 Finale below!

Three acts remain on The X Factor USA 2012 and we have to sit through two hours of performances tonight before we find out who won The X Factor USA Season 2!
