Second Season of “The X Factor” Living Up To The Hype
It seems like we have waited FOREVER for Season 2 of “The X Factor” to get underway after the huge shake-up following Season One which saw judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger replaced by pop princesses Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.

And so far, so good… VERY good, in fact. Britney, in particular, has been lauded for not only her poise but her brutal honesty. Where most people expected Sweet Little Britney to be the “Paula” on this panel, she has turned out to be more like Simon!
