The US Version will be going through some very heavy budget cuts. There is no way in hell Rihanna or Chris Brown is doing the US version.

She should replace Tulisa and Simon replace Gary.

No way would they cut the budgets that much. The talent and shkw its self has improved this season also by letting go of britney and that black dude (forgot his name) they will be saving quite a bit

Hasn't Britney already signed on for another season?

Uh, They'll take a HUGE cut. The show is getting 8 to 9 mil when Simon promised 20 mil from the start. In Fact it's down from Season 1 (10-12 mil)

There will be no Rihanna or Chris Brown on the US because obviously Big Names won't cut it. They have to be good judges/mentors as well.

Take a look at the US Voice. They have big names and good coaches/judges. Which is why more people are turning to that show.

Everyone's wishfully thinking that Rihanna's going to show up but I don't think it's happening, Sure she was a guest mentor with LA for season 1, but the budget's going to show up. I think Rihanna's going to ask for the same money Britney's getting (15 Million Bucks)

Personally I think the panel next year will be
Simon
Demi (Because she's working for cheap and is a great judge. Could also be a great mentor for next year)
Female Singer that'll work for cheap, still a big name but down to earth like Mary J. Blige
Producer, Although LA has suggested Rockstar Bon Jovi (Which would be a good choice because Middle America, which this show needs, Loves Rockstars/Country stars, why do you think Tate's in the final?)

Hasn't Britney already signed on for another season?

As Far As I know she said she'll come back if offered.

Britney, Rihanna, Beyonce & Gwen would be a good panel
