From the moment The X Factor let go of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, speculation ran rampant as to who will fill their mentor seats in season two.

On February 22, Simon Cowell revealed that Paula and Nicole would be replaced by two women, so naturally a short list of A-list ladies (who need no surname) began to formulate: Mariah. Britney. Pink. Janet.

Well, you can officially cut that list by one, because Janet Jackson tells TheInsider.com that she is "very flattered that X Factor let me know that I was being considered for next season, but it just wouldn't be possible."

Citing a previous commitment to her Number Ones Up Close and Personal Tour (which kicks off again this summer) and Lionsgate (the studio behind Tyler Perry's movies), Janet simply felt taking on a TV gig would be "unrealistic" at this time.

Janet's team added, "There have been absolutely no meetings between Janet and anyone with regard to X-Factor,"
so apparently her rumored participation was simply a fan fabrication. Although it's easy to understand why the hit-maker's name would be bandied about, since she's topped the charts for more than three decades!

She should have taken the job for a season. And then toured. Maybe she could have filled up more seats than a theater. Or not had to cancel so many arena concerts due to poor sales.

For ur information Janet sold out her last tour. She only had to reschedule so she can attend her brother's death trial.troll

I had a dream that she was touring again this year, and now I'm reading this smile I already saw two shows though for this tour.

Although I hate x factor - i think she should have done it to put her on the radar again.

NO WAY! Is she really planning on keeping the Up Close and Personal tour moving?! If so, I'll have my ass right back at the front row!

Any word on if she's going to change some things around? She didn't perform Black Cat at the 2 shows I went to. Hopefully we get some stage sets or something.

This would have a high-profile gig for her....a perfect way to launch a comeback.Imagine if she had done this show,then released an album in the summer and went on tour.

How can one decline something that was never offered?

clapping Smart move on her part. nod I can see why some say she should but I think she's better off focusing on the things she already has going.

I think Britney will probably be a shoe in. She'll provide the star power I think Simon's looking for. I can't imagine Pink & Britney working together though. However, that would possibly provide some judging panel drama for TV. lol

Janet does not have that kind of personality to work with people and criticize others. If they were to get a Jackson, I could see Marlon doing it.

After seeing him on The Jacksons reality show, he looks like he doesn't hold back and will tell it like it is. Not to mention, he is one hell of a dancer.

Agreed-she's always been soft spoken to me. I like and respect her though-classy lady.

X-Factor judges are also mentors to the contestants. One gets males, one gets females, one gets groups, and one gets the over 25 contestants. They pick the songs for the contestants to sing and the arrangements and everything. I don't know that LaToya would be good at that.
