Watch: Demi Lovato on Future "X Factor" Judges

Demi Lovato has a lot on her plate!

The singer has just released her latest album entitled "Demi" and is gearing up for the next season of X Factor.

When it comes to who should join her and Simon Cowell on the panel for the hit singing show, she's got endless suggestions.

"I have a lot of people I would like to see," she told E! News at a Topshop event in NYC. "I'm constantly texting Simon saying, 'I have an idea! Do you think this person would do it?'"

The bond between the two is stronger than ever, she revealed. So much so that she doesn't want him to ever return as a judge on American Idol.

"I really do love him so much," she said. "I'd come after him, I really would [if he left]."

During a recent trip to New York City, Lovato hyped up fans in the streets with a little shameless self-promotion. While in a car, the singer screamed out to pedestrians (and some shocked fans!) on the sidewalk to go and get her new music on iTunes.
