Simon Cowell: 'Britney Spears would be fascinating on X Factor USA'

Simon Cowell has said that Britney Spears would be a "fascinating" addition to the X Factor USA judges' panel.

The music mogul, who confirmed last week that he wants the 'Criminal' singer on the show, said that talks are ongoing but he is hopeful that a deal will be reached soon.



"I would love to have her on the show," Cowell said in a call to TMZ.

"I think she would be a fascinating person to sit next to."

Cowell went on to say that he expects to confirm Spears's involvement in the show within the next week.

Former X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger has said that she is rooting for Spears to join the show.
