Paula? Mariah? Tell us who you think deserves a seat at the ‘X Factor’ table!

The upcoming U.S. version of Simon Cowell‘s British phenomenon X Factor may be a guaranteed hit, but since a reality competition show is only as strong as its judges, we want to know who YOU think should be seated on the panel. In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Simon revealed several names on his short list — Paula Abdul, Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey, George Michael and Nicole Scherzinger are all being considered — but that doesn’t mean we can’t throw in a few of our own suggestions!

Personally, we’d love to see a fun pop star with a great personality. Hilary Duff or Ashlee Simpson, perhaps?
