Who is la the x factor judge

Reid said he will leave 'The X Factor' after this season. Story highlights Hollywood Reporter: Song shows have spent millions to net new talent and boost ratings L. Reid is a record executive He is leaving to concentrate more on his job, Epic Records says Reid coached a country singer most recently on 'The X Factor'. But the end of season two will be another finale of sorts, as judge L. Reid announced Thursday he is leaving the show. As chairman and CEO of Epic Records, Reid is very busy, according to the label, and he needs to turn his full attention to his job.

The third season will launch without him. His replacement is yet to be announced. The song contest show has seen some other turnover this year, with Britney Spears and Demi Lovato replacing first season judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul. Simon famously predicted that X Factor US would bag 20m viewers, but it only managed to get 12m, which was successful in TV terms, but viewed as a failure in light of his prediction.

X Factor was cancelled after just three seasons and Cowell ducked back to the UK to head up the X Factor panel on his home turf. However, with American Idol ending after the next season, it may open the door for an X Factor return, but without LA Reid, presumably. As rumours abound about Louis Walsh being tipped to judge an Irish version of Britain's Got Talent, bullying experts have condemned the format for turning children as young as six into mean girls - and boys.

Watching talent shows such as X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, which returned to our screens at the weekend, may seem like a harmless Saturday night tradition for many young families.

But watching judges and studio audiences sneer their way through the auditions of the less-than-gifted is having a damaging effect on child viewers, sociologists and psychologists say. One Direction have denied reports they are being lined up to be judges on The X Factor. Caroline Flack has revealed that the room auditions have been scrapped for the upcoming new series of X Factor.
