Seven people are still unaccounted for at this time.

Adam Levine has responded to Simon Cowell‘s suggestion that there should be a sing-off between the respective winners of The Voice, X Factor, and American Idol – by implying that worrying too much about the competition deters from the quality of your own show!

He explains:

“Simon’s just so clever. He’s so hell bent on competing with other shows. We’re not really interested in a way… That’s kind of a cool idea, actually, but I’m not so sure we’re totally interested in what everyone else is doing. We’re just kind of worrying about what we do ‘cause we all know the more we worry about everybody else, the more the quality of what you’re doing tends to suffer. So, we want to just do what we do.”

While the second season of the X Factor will see only Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid returning, there’s been a lot of talk regarding who will potentially replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, but as far as we’re concerned, she blows all the other competition out of the water!

According to sources close to the pop singer, MIZ BRITNEY SPEARS has reached out to the show to express her interest in being part of the judging panel, alongside other potentials like Janet Jackson and Fergie!

AMAZING!

We wouldn’t have thought she would be interested in that kind of role, but you certainly can’t deny what a ratings draw she would be!
