Britney Spears bombed on England’s X-Factor Saturday night. While critics were quick to point out she did better than last September’s disastrous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney was criticised for lip synching (on a show geared toward live performance!) and dancing that looked ripped off a 101 class at the senior center. Sigh. Brit Brit just can’t get it together. 

more juice after the jump…

One enraged viewer wrote on the show’s messageboard:

Cheryl Cole, the singer from Girls Aloud, could join the X- Factor show.  Cheryl is a front runner for the position to be stepping in and filling the shoes of judge Sharon Osbourne who suddenly left.   Sharon says it was over a pay dispute….

More pictures after the hop…

Sharon Osbourne quit the show after several seasons for a variety of reasons.  Some people claim it was a feud with Danii Minogue.  Other say it is because Sharon is tired of seeing her acts get axed!  Sharon says it was because of money, but I think that was a polite excuse.
