I've heard a lot of positive comments about her concerts, I am just not sure if that would translate to being on the panel, or mentoring. I think that takes a lot out of a person, in conjunction with their busy career (although I guess at $15 million she could scale back her career somewhat).

Oh, ites very different and comments are def important, but if she can do it they couldnt have picked a better person. She isnt doing much right now tho, so this should work well.

Fitting that britney is doing X Factor and Christina is doing The Voice.

The deal is supposedly 13 million for being a judge + 2 million bonus for performances. I'm guessing they may take away bonuses if they deem her not capable to perform.

The "zombie" part is what sticks for me. I keep hearing about how she isn't really there now.

I just can't get out of my mind, because I watched the clips recently, how she went from so mobile and capable on stage ("Like a Virgin" at the VMA's) to barely able to stand almost still and talk straight (her comeback performance at the VMA's or performance with Rihanna). I would think that maybe she's gotten somewhat better since those performances. No? Time to heal mentally and train?

I think part of the reason they went after Britney hard is she probably still has some of the train-wreck elements a la Paula.

ETA:

"Like a Virgin"

"S&M" (This was only as far back as 2011? Yikes, slight improvement from her earlier solo comeback at the VMAs)

Britney's last tour was lampooned for half-assed and botched dance moves, not to mention her usual lip-syncing (though she did try some live singing).

I feel sorry for her, but really, her shows are not that entertaining to me. I always get the feeling she'd rather be doing something else and her heart is no longer in the music/performing business.

This is basically the performing she's reduced to nowadays:

Maybe judging on this show will be something new and exciting for her...

That's kind of sad, going through the motions. I'm sure she could retire but I'm guessing there may be people in her ear who want her to continue delivering them cash.

Could give her a second wind as a performer OR it could just be something fun. I'm rooting for her. She appears stable to me mentally, it's just she's no longer very good at live performances of any type.

I normally don't go along with all the comments that Simon Cowell must be gay, but some of the PR coming out lately is just ludicrous. He was having affairs with three women at the same time! So and so says they did it eleven times in one night!

Looks like she is [!@#$%^&*] marching and about to get on her pole on the second video....lol Long gone are the days when she was the "it" thing.....I still remember getting her first single on cd.

Well, it's official:

I hope that it works out. It sounds like she got about what her people wanted (I can't remember the amount thrown around a few months ago). I don't know if I will watch this but I hope it is a success, mostly because Adam Levine/Blake Shelton/Christina Aguiliera come across as being vile people and that Voice show is a bunch of hypocritical bull and just an excuse for those involved to push all kinds of petty vendettas.

Omg just no to Miley Cyrus being a judge. Can't they just stick with three?! And there's a possibility of two new hosts? They are doing way too much. Less is more!

Thanks for posting the news. Eager to see how Britney does as a judge!

Britney and Demi Lovato! Sweet! I love the blonde/brunette combo. LOL

Thank god Miley isn't a judge! I like Demi a lot Any news on the host?

Demi Lavato? What the hell.

She's not even that successful as a singer, are they trying to catch the Disney crowd now? This is not going to work. I could understand Britney, as she's been in the business professionally for almost 15 years now, but Lavato?

It sounds like they're going squarely after a trainwreck-feel for the show in hopes that people tune in for that alone.

This show came to the US too late, and The Voice pretty much took the spot of the second big singing competition show before X-Factor premiered. This season is really make or break for it.

Is it true that Gwen Stefani is hosting?

Demi Lavato? What the hell.

Yea they got some C-list washed up Disney Actress to be a judge? I am sorry, but i dont expect the ratings to be any better, this show wouldnt be a hit at all. It probaly be canceled after season 2.

Demi?

She isnt even an acomplished singer/entertainer. She had a brief moment of being an it disney girl, thats it.

I expected her to be host.
