Who should be the new 'X-Factor' judge (or judges)?
After "X-Factor" ended its first season in America with lower than expected ratings most expected that series head honcho and top judge Simon Cowell would make some changes. Season two won't begin auditions for at least another five months, but Cowell is already shaking things up. Not only has he sacked host Steve Jones, but judge Nicole Scherzinger was also just shown the door. There are reports that Cowell's old pal Paula Abdul is also out, but until that's confirmed we only have one slot open. Who should replace the former Pussycat Doll? HitFix's editorial team reviews some of the already buzzed about candidates as well as some longshots who shouldn't be ignored.
Who do you think should join the "X-Factor" judging panel? Share your thoughts below and rate your favorite contestant.

Don't like any of these suggestions much, in fact I strongly dislike almost all of them for this show, other than Cole, Snoop, & Estefan.
My suggestions:
Billy Idol
Sheila E
Jim Gaffigan
Albert Brooks
Roseanne Barr
Trace Adkins
Charles Barkley
Triumph
Marie Osmond
DL Hughley
Lisa Lampanelli
Steve Perry
Bette Midler
Richard No way you're a day under 50 with Sheila E, Albert Brooks and Marie Osmond on the list.

ceggertsen Whitney would also provide just the right amount of crazy.

February 2, 2012 at 4:44AM EST Reply to Comment"X Factor", unlike "American Idol", is not about singing, it's about the "performance." There is only one person I can think of that specializes in the particular skill of fashioning mediocre talent into sold out stadium spectacle and that person is Madonna.
If they are serious about a relaunch, they should just drive out a truck full of money and hire her for a single season. Great cross promotion for her new music and it would be fun to watch because that woman has never been afraid to speak her mind.
