"Idol" Judges to Britney: We Want You!

"American Idol" judges Simon, Randy and Paula believe they have what it takes to bring back Britney's career.
Idol Judges to Bring Back Britney
In an announcement to FOX News, Simon Cowell says that, among other things, getting her "away from her stupid friends" will help revive her career.

"MTV ratings are up and all we're hearing is Britney, Britney, Britney!" Simon said. "She can turn it around." Could this bring Britney's career back from its Las Vegas grave?

It is unclear whether they want Britney to be a guest star or a contestant.

61. This picture of Brit reminds me of the one of Anna Nicole high and talking in that high voice while pushing around the doll in the baby carriage in the house. HKS is filming it and talking. Brit looks like a zoombie, just like Anna Nicole. Let's hope she doesn't end up the same way. Maybe a REAL trip to rehab and REAL therapy?
Don't surround yourself with yourself.

63. Ding, dang, doesn't anybody get it? It was the three years leading up to the VMAs that were her downfall, not the VMA performance alone. What about her boozin and druggin and partyin and flashin and hatin and dropping the kids and whorin it up?? THAT'S what brought her down and SHE did that to HERSELF. The VMAs were just the last straw.

64. I agree #15, - the one thing that NO ONE can do is to keep her away from HERSELF. A Psychiatric Hospital should be the first stop, but that would actually be "in her best interest". People are going to feed off her a little longer, - as long as her money holds out and she can function enough to walk.

66. If Britney was a contestant on "Idol", do you really think she could win?
Dancing & lip-syncing the way she does, she wouldn't even make it into the top 12.
LOL

67. Its Called Business. Music, Entertainment, etc. And any kind of business requires Work.
Britney has relied too much on her star power and Fame. Any of the entertainers who have enjoyed long healthy careers could tell her the bad press, partying and general disregard for public opinion would cost her. Simon, Randy and Paula are no strangers to what works in the Music industry and they are 100% right.
She has talent, She has fans, but her professionalism, dedication, and self discipline are questionable at best. Her handlers - Stylists and assistants who allowed her to go out on stage like that need to be fired on the spot.
Ditch your current friends and advisors!
Focus on your physical and mental health. -This includes straightening out her relationships with her family
Work with professionals not Starf.....rs.
And maybe, she can save part of her career.

68. Britney Spears is a selfish, immature, and self-indulgent. But I do feel sorry for her. She's clearly depressed and spiraling further and further away from reality. My take is that she grew up too fast and is now acting like most teenagers act: impulsive, rebelling against her mom, not willing to listen to anyone. Plus, throw in the fact that she's relatively uneducated (not to mention a mom, a divorcee and trailed constantly by paparazzi), and you've got all the makings of an unstable person. I don't wish her ill will but she does need to grow up before she can move forward in life.

69. The LAST thing she needs is more "handlers" and another "performance", - what she NEEDS is PSYCHIATRIC HELP!!!

70. She looks like she's had one too many crabbie patties........

71. Jack 43, the only "crap" Britney has to deal with is crap SHE brings on herself. Britney makes the crap, it's all from her. If she doesn't like dealing with crap, she needs to find some maturity and maternal instinct and try to act like a responsible human being with 2 kids Instead of continually acting like a crazy lunatic iN PUBLIC. As for blaming the kids on Britney's inability to get back into shape, come on already, this girl could get a private trainer, a personal chef, and she could look hot in a month IF SHE WANTED TO WORK A LITTLE BIT. But Britney wants everything to just HAPPEN, like magic, WITHOUT having to do anything herself to make anything happen. Why didn't she get a personal trainer and prepare for the VMA Awards? Because she is too lazy and that would be WORK . Unless Britney gets a magic wand, she will never be any better than she is now, and she WILL start sliding downhill.

Britney only wants people around her who suck up to her and make excuses for her, just like some of the people here would be so good at. And obviously, people who support Britney's lazyness and lack of maturity and her latest come-back failure are exactly why Britney was such an embarrassing flop the other night. I have seen better talent than that at high school plays. Britney cannot make herself into a viable performer without the help of a professional team, and all you enablers like Jack43 must be removed from her life. But Britney will not take advice, and she cannot live without being surrounded by blood-sucking leeches; hence, she is going nowhere, and she will continue to live her life like an immature brat, and she will continue having crap to deal with because SHE is the crap-MAKER.

72. A career? WTF!!! The woman needs a Mental Hospital and a chance at having a LIFE, NOT a career. It's really pretty easy to tell who actually wants what's best for HER, and who doesn't.

73. Ya know, I think this is actually the bes idea I have heard so far to help her out. It will get her back to the "tween" and teen audience , which is a start. It couldnt hurt.

74. A washed up no talent show wants a washed up no talent Ho........
Sounds like a match made in Heaven.
RIP to both of you!

75. She just may be a geninus -- in a rain man sort of way. She's the topic of conversation everywhere and her new single has gotten so much air play, at least on my local stations, that I should be pretty sick of it soon....So far, I like it, it makes me wanna dance.....
