"The X Factor USA returned last night with Britney Spears and Demi Lovato making their debuts on the panel alongside Simon Cowell and LA Reid. After the dreary, wishy-washy ramblings of Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul last year, fans on both sides of the Atlantic were hoping that the introduction of these feisty young ladies would give the show a much-needed shot in the arm. But did the dynamic duo deliver?   Pretty much ever since she was announced, there have been question marks over whether Britney is really ready to be fronting a show as exhausting and high profile as The X Factor. Her supporters will have been willing her on and her detractors have been waiting for her to flop - who will be feeling vindicated after the season premiere?  And much has been made of Demi&amp;#039;s chemistry with big daddy Cowell. Their cheeky taunting has put us in mind of his winning rapport with Cheryl Cole back in their X Factor UK days, but in the end was the former Disney star a worthy sparring partner for TV&amp;#039;s original Mr Nasty? What did you think of the new X Factor USA judges? Vote in our poll and leave your comments below. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
