Who Should The X Factor US Panel Cast?

Seeing as how X Factor US has seen nearly all of the staring panelist/cast fired... The question arises, who should replace Steve Jones as host, and Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger as judges/mentors?  But first, lets take a look at some names that have been floating around who probably should not become a part of the singing competition's panel.

Anybody who currently is experiencing the height of their popularity, should all be ruled out.  There is no need to risk joining the show and stopping your current streak.  So that takes out artists like Katy Perry (who although would be a great judge-she's currently way too successful), Rihanna (way too young to be tied down to a show that could affect her top of the pops standing), and even Beyonce (though her music career is sagging, she is still in her prime). Now for those who'd make great X Factor Judges!

Katy Perry's Drunk Escapade: 51st Grammy Awards Edition

So from the TV Guide red carpet special to even her performance on the 51st Grammy Awards stage, the bi-curious Katy Perry seriously seemed out of it. From the interview with Lisa Rinna & Joey Fatone Jr. she were she was looking off into out of the camera's view, to her odd responses to questions. During her performance she really seemed out of it, luckily on her part she didn't stumble- and the song doesn't call for extreme vocals! Her dance moves seemed way off and as if she didn't practice them enough. Should we expect a "Leave Katy Alone," video in the coming days or what?

Clearly as a nominated new artist, who was performing at what many consider music's biggest night, Ms. Perry wasn't appreciative of her chance to show the world she was worthy of her nominations and chance to perform her hit single.

Who Do You Choose: Katy Perry or Lady GaGa?

Two of the biggest break out female Pop artists of 2008 were undoubtedly Katy Perry and Lady GaGa.

Katy Perry topped the Billboard Hot 100 with her controversial hit single "I Kissed A Girl," and I'm sure she liked it, holding the number 1 spot for seven consecutive weeks beginning July 5th, 2008. Her follow up single, "Hot N Cold," managed to continue the momentum and became a second Top 5 single for Perry, as it has so far reaching number 3 on the Hot 100. Although a ballad, "Thinking Of You," will be released as the next single, Perry most likely will receive another high charting single towards her name.

Lady GaGa's route to fame didn't come so quick, but her debut single, "Just Dance" [featuring Colby O'Donis] which was officially released in April of 2008, amazingly has rebounded lately and became GaGa's first Top 5 single as well (in late 2008). "Just Dance," has reached number 2 on the Hot 100, as of January 2009 and is currently number 1 on iTunes Top Songs. Proving that it may be able to hit number 1 with sales and added radio airplay. While her second single "Poker Face," is reaping the success of "Just Dance" as well, reaching number 81 on the Hot 100 so far with help from radio airplay & increased downloads.

Both of these singer-songwriters have helped Pop music change during 2008, but the question I'm posing is who of the two do you think will have the best career in terms of longevity and musical prominence: Katy Perry or Lady GaGa?
