Joel Christie, The Daily Telegraph, reports
Guy Sebastian is unlikely to return to The X
Factor this year, according to widespread TV industry speak.
As the Battlescars superstar prepares for his biggest tour to
date, performing more than 40 concerts across the country, well-placed sources
say his priorities no longer lie with the Channel 7 talent search.
"He's the best artist (Australia) has - that's clear as day,"
a TV heavy told Confidential. "He's got this massive tour, the
album is still new and then there's America. At the moment he definitely isn't
on board (with X Factor). He's done three years and that's plenty."
The rumours follow confirmation that fellow judge Mel B has taken a seat
at the panel on America’s Got Talent
in LA, throwing in to doubt her return and sparking speculation she will join
Nine's local version Australia's Got Talent.
As we reported this week, Mel has packed up her Sydney home and moved to
the US.
She is replacing Sharon Osbourne, who is thought to be locked and loaded
for AGT here with Chris Isaak.
The other half of The X Factor Australia panel, Natalie
Bassingthwaighte and Ronan Keating, are expected to reprise their roles on the
series, which is in the auditioning stages.
Both Seven and Sebastian's management did not return calls yesterday.
The inaugural Australian Idol winner is the most successful judge on
The X Factor and arguably the most popular, having won the last two years
with his charges Reece Mastin and Samantha Jade.
Battlescars has brought him some much-wanted attention in
America, where the single shot to No.1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Digital
Song Chart.
