Awesome, Britney's a judge- you can tell it's going to be a great series! Forget Nicole and Paula!

[BBfanUSA]

Also the hosts may of been revealed as well.

They are Raven-Symone and Chad Micheal Murray, which is the most random combo you could've ever thought of.

It's weird how apart from Chad all the newbies are ex Disney stars.

[Doogle]

I want to make a post about how excited I am knowing Raven is hosting but all I feel like doing is smashing my keyboard with happiness.

Amazing! Suprised Brit looks slimmer than Demi.

I know that it's at least Raven because I heard that she's there. It was first said that it was going to be those two on DS.

I think Chad was in a Miramax (Owned By Disney) film called "A Cinderella Story" with Hilary Duff. Who was also a disney star. So he's basically a Disney Star

Really puts the UK judging panel to shame

Maybe she's promoting another show. Hosts haven't been confirmed but it does seem like an odd pairing, Raven has no hosting experience, neither does Chad. I think Gwen Stefani will be the female host.

Britney's a pretty huge signing. Got to be one of, if not the biggest for one of these shows ever surely?

Don't really know the other girl that much but it's a big improvement nonetheless. I probably won't end up knowing the hosts but hopefully they'll be better than Steve...and I'm sure that won't take much.

For sure, the only signing bigger than Britney would be Madonna and she'd never do it because she hates reality TV.

[Marsh.]

I heard Madonna hates TV in general. lol
But that picture of all 4 judges is pretty tragic. I thought the UK show was a joke but that's the best America has to offer? They had to actually tell the audience to react. lol

Demi: "So totally stoked" That's nice love. Can't wait to hear your critiques.

And someone needs to remind Simon the show started in 2004, so it's not even 8 years old yet let alone 10.

The UK panel needs a big name now to compensate. I think Katy Perry should get the gig if they can get her.

I agree, the UK panel is laughable compared to this one. It's looking unlikely that Dannii will return so we need a big current singer to fill the last judges seat like Katy, Rihanna or Nicki Minaj.

[Jack_]

I personally think Dannii's return would've been pointless without Simon present, so I'm hoping that doesn't happen. I'd love a Sharon return but that'll never happen.

It needs to be big but I think it might be Alesha Dixon. Or Marina.

[reece(:]

Our version is becoming a joke with judges like Tulisa and Kelly Rowland, c-list singers whereas Britney and Demi are solid A's.

I agree. The UK really needs a big name now. If someone like Alesha Dixon is named the US show will overshadow our show

Britney looks great

[lostalex]

The line up on The Voice still feels more impressive to me.

X-Factor USA still feels like a second class show compared to The Voice USA.

The Voice just seems more professional. The Voice seems more artistic and more about actual music, and not just about fame and glamour.

All 4 judges of The Voice are talented musicians. On X-Factor, Simon, L.A., and Britney are not talented musicians. The voice has 4 out of 4, X-Factor only has 1 out of 4.

[Beastie]

Fantastic news. I am so happy that Britney is a judge. Not sure about Demi. She is not big in the UK. Only in America. But still.. I am happy for the lineup! Katy Perry replaceing Demi would have been better but it would be great if Katy Perry was a UK X Factor judge.

Gary Bellend - Dannii Minogue - Katy Perry - Louis Walsh.

Replacing Gary with Simon would be better but not going to happen.

Hmm well Britney has had emmence experience in the music industry?

Hasnt she had 7 albums with sales just under 100 million? Relased 35 singles and completed 7 world tours?

Britney was on alot of talent shows when she was younger so knows what the contestants are going through and its not only about coaching the singing talents its about preparing them for what they are getting into and i think Britney is a perfect example of what can happen with the media.

Heart Britney

[Marsh.]

Except Britney is a complete shadow of what she was 7+ years ago. Having both Britney and Demi on the show is the same vacuous, shallow and empty comments coming from two of the judges.

Yes, Britney will bring in the viewers (the sole reason she was hired) but as far as actual credibility to critique vocals and performance she's out of her depth. She can't put on a good show anymore herself.

Once an amazing dancer who now skips around the stage whilst fireworks and video screens distract the audience.

I agree, shame the Voice UK is slipping in the ratings though cos I think it's a far superior and classy show. Who are the coaches in the US version?
