Simon Cowell wants to see Britney as a judge of the X-Factor

The program X-Factor win a U.S. version, but a source close to Simon Cowell said he plans to quit American Idol to focus on new singing contest, including the choice of the judging panel.

"Simon himself wants to be the juror next to a young pop star and a veteran in the music world", said the source of the magazine U.S. Weekly. Well, as desired by Cowell would be Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Paula Abdul and Britney Spears.

Although the programs are not considered identical, both are about aspiring singers who have their performance evaluated by judges and voting by viewers.
