This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

"The X Factor" returns for Season 2 with a few changes. Judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger are out, replaced by Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. Host Steve Jones is out, and by press time, his replacement hasn't been announced. We do know that Simon Cowell is still telling us this isn't just another "American Idol." Which, of course, it actually is.
