布蘭妮確定將離開《X因素》
Britney Spears said Friday she has made the "difficult decision" to leave Fox's "The X Factor" after one a statement, the pop singer said she had an incredible time work.ng on the singing contest but that it was time to get back into the studio to record.
布蘭妮(Britney Spears)在上週五發表聲明說她已經做出了一個艱難的決定，那就是在下一季結束後離開FOX臺的《X音素》(The X Factor)。在聲明中，布蘭妮表示她與這檔節目一起度過了一段令人難忘的日子，不過是時候重回個人歌唱事業了。It was widely reported Thursday that Spears and "X Factor" were parting ways after a season in which the show's ratings fell and Spears received lackluster reviews as a panelist. Fellow panelist Antonio "L.A." Reid previously announced he was leaving, giving creator-executive producer Simon Cowell two spots to fill.
據上週四的報道稱，節目收視率下降和布蘭妮呆板的表現是她和《X音素》分道揚鑣的主要原因。早前，同爲評委的雷德(Antonio "L.A." Reid)也表明將不再擔任評委，給同爲主創和執行製片人西蒙·考威爾(Simon Cowell)留下了兩個評委空缺。Fox has been informed of Spears' decision, her publicist, Jeff Raymond said Friday. Fox spokeswoman Gaude Paez confirmed that Spears is leaving the show and said the network had no further statement.
布蘭妮的發言人傑夫·雷蒙德(Jeff Raymond)於週五表示已告知FOX臺這一決定。FOX臺的發言人高蒂·帕耶茲(Gaude Paez)也證實了布蘭妮將離開此檔節目，但沒有透露更多消息。
Cowell and fellow producers are discussing replacements for Spears and Reid and will be conferring with Fox, said a person who is familiar with the situation but lacked authority to comment publicly and insisted on Lovato is expected to return as a panelist, joining Cowell and the newcomers.
據相關人士透露，考威爾和其他製片人正在與FOX臺商討代替布蘭妮和雷德的評委人選事宜。黛米·洛瓦託(Demi Lovato)有望重返此節目，和其他新面孔一起加入考威爾坐鎮的評委席。Spears, 31, said she was proud of the young "X Factor" contestants she helped counsel, but that watching them on stage each week made her miss performing."I can't wait to get back out there and do what I love most," she added.
現年31歲的布蘭妮表示爲她幫助過的年輕參賽者感到自豪，不過看着他們在舞臺上成長的同時也讓她錯過了太多表演機會，她已經等不及要離開評委席，迴歸她最愛的事業了。When "X Factor" returns for its third season this fall, Cowell will attempt once again to match the success of the U.K. series he brought to America. After season one, Cowell replaced panelists Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones, but Spears and Lovato didn't provide the hoped-for ratings spark, with Spears getting the brunt of criticism from received a reported $15 million for one season's work.
《X因素》第三季將於今年秋天迴歸，把英國版《X因素》搬到美國的考威爾又將企圖複製英國版的成功。第一季後，考威爾換掉了評委寶拉·阿巴杜(Paula Abdul)、妮可·舒可辛格(Nicole Scherzinger)和主持人史蒂夫·瓊斯(Steve Jones)，取而代之的是布蘭妮和洛瓦託。不過她們並沒有帶來預期的收視熱潮，一季進賬1500萬美元的布蘭妮的表現更是飽受詬病。Although the series has failed to match Cowell's bold pre-debut predictions, and certainly hasn't eclipsed sister Fox show "American Idol," it has helped shore up the network's fall schedule.
儘管《X因素》未能給野心勃勃的考威爾帶來預期的成功，也無法與FOX臺的另一檔選秀節目《美國偶像》(American Idol)匹敵，但它還是爲FOX臺的秋季檔撐起了一片天。
