I guess Britney Spears and Demi Lovato being on The X Factor Season 2 brought enough ratings to the show to get FOX to renew it for Season 3 already! Simon Cowell and FOX have announced that The X Factor 2012 has been renewed for a third season, but will Britney and Demi be back?

The X Factor 2012 fired Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger after the end of Season 1 after poor ratings. They went big when adding Britney and Demi and it seems to have paid off, as ratings have averaged 10.6 million viewers and a 3.9 rating in the 18-49 demo. Impressive numbers, but they are still behind their big competitor The Voice, which has been ratings gold for NBC.

Simon Cowell released a statement on the renewal: “I couldn’t be happier about The X Factor already being renewed for another season. I am so proud of the show and the team who have made it this season. I want to thank our incredible sponsors for their support and creativity, and Fox for going out of their way to do everything they can to make this show a success. Most importantly, I have to personally thank our amazing fans for the support and enthusiasm they have given to The X Factor. Our main commitment will always be to find great talent, and let’s not forget, we are now days away from our first live shows. The gloves are off! Expect fireworks!”

With the live shows starting on both, I think the gloves will be on big time. Simon plays it off, but that is only because The X Factor Season 2 is behind in the ratings. You know if they were winning he would be mentioning that every chance he possibly could!

So, are you excited for another season of The X Factor? Do you think Britney and Demi will come back?
