Britney Spears is in Malibu with Will.i.am  for the Judges Houses portion of The X Factor.  Contrary to prior spoilers, Britney will mentor the 12-16 year old category. Which means Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas will oversee the 17-24 year olds. Simon Cowell and Marc Anthony take charge of the groups, while LA Reid and Justin Bieber handled the Over 25s.

Check out the Daily Mail for more photos and details.

Maybe some of you can help me identify the contestants in the photos?

This Spoiler list from Jork should be helpful

The bottom photo features 13 year od Reed Deming. (His audition aired in the premiere)

The Top 30 are cut down to the Top 15/16 during the Judges Houses phase

    That 13 year old girl from last night is there too. Carly Rose Sonenclare.

    I had a feeling Demi and Britney’s categories were reversed, as Demi seemed to imply in interviews she had already taped her stuff.

  • TheGreatXL

    jork’s list has the people right. Carly, Reed, JT, Arin, Diamond, and Beatrice. I see them all in the picture.

  • http://twitter.com/MissGolightly22 No Thanks

     Is Arin the black guy?  Wasn’t he in that super group last year?

  • TheGreatXL

    Yep! And good eye.He was in InTENsity. Surprised you can audition again after making Top 12, to be honest.

  • elliegrll

    They owed the people in InTENsity a do over.

  • TheGreatXL

    I agree. But then again, the entire idea behind a 10 kid group was stupid to begin with. 4 or 5 would have worked, but not 10.

    Is the mini-Bieber going to the live shows? He’s gonna be such a “VFTW pick”.

  • TheGreatXL

    I’d be surprised if he didn’t. My guess to final 3 would be Carly, Reed, and JT. JT is a cocky 14 year old in the same vein as Astro from last season.

  • girlygirltoo

    Wonder what kind of advice Bieber will give to people who may be old enough to be his mom or dad

  • girlygirltoo

    mini-Bieber won’t make it to the finals if he can’t sing way better than he did in his audition.

  • TheGreatXL

    “Ride your looks as long as you can… oh, oops.”

    At least Astro didn’t pretend he could sing. lol

     I was wondering why Arin was able to audition again too but I guess he could argue he made the live shows as a group and this time he’s entering as a soloist.

    Hopefully Ellona comes back. That girl is way to good and could be XF’s answer to J. Sanchez

    Looking at the spoilers, I noticed there were no boys for the 17-24 category. Looks like my panties are staying on this season…

  • http://twitter.com/KatiesUVULA Katie’s Uvula

    Okay sorry I keep posting but I just read Britney and Demi’s categories were reversed?? I thought the top picture was Brit with her 17-24 and the bottom was Demi watching Reed (which explains why the blonde ponytail has a blue streak since Demi always colors her hair). Seriously, Demi needs to go back to brunette so I can differentiate them from behind lol

  • wkstrack

    LOL! Sorry, but Justin Bieber giving advice to people that could be his mom/dad (or grandparent?) just sounds ridiculous. But then again so would Demi mentoring the overs too. I’m glad Demi (if she did) got the 17-24 group. I think she knows more than Simon and LA about which songs would suit them ,etc. Remember the awful song choices Simon gave to the girls last season? Oh wait. Doesn’t he want the groups to win this year? I can only imagine the tire and lame songs he’ll choose for the groups.

    I would assume the only reason Justin Beiber is affiliated with the show at all is to help bring in the viewers…..ughh. But hey, if it works more power to Simon.

  • Goodie2

    I didn’t think that Bieber look alike was very good locally

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UHX5LYQ3ZJPMPFEYPSFX3ZEE4Q Jack

    He might not have been very good locally (where exactly is he from?) but fortunately this is a vocal competition, so maybe he has a chance.
