Uh oh. ABC’s “Duets” star John Legend told E! News that he doesn’t think Britney Spears or Demi Lovato are singers…yikes! Both former Disney stars have just signed on as judges for this season of “The X Factor.” Here’s John’s quote:
You know it’s interesting. It should be very interesting. I don’t have much to say. It’s interesting when people, you know, are judging singing competitions when they aren’t really singers. Oh come on, everything Britney does, she excels at. Demi is a lovely young lady, and I’m sure they’ll do nothing but make the show a lot more fun to watch.
Britney Spears thinks Demi Lovato is inspirational and believes that they would have great chemistry on the show, reports Radar: ‘Britney is the anchor of the new judging panel and that was Simon’s most important hire.
Britney is extremely hopeful that Demi Lovato will become one of the judges because she truly admires her. Britney loves how open and honest Demi has been with her fans after she went to rehab last year. She thinks they have a lot in common and that they would have great chemistry on the show.
Britney is being kept apprised of the status of ongoing contract talks with Lovato and it is looking like she will be joining the show! Britney is extremely excited for filming to begin, which will be in the next month. Britney and Demi have met a few times very casually at Hollywood industry parties but those were very brief.
Demi went to one of Britney’s concerts in Anaheim in 2011 and met with her backstage. Once Demi officially signs her contract Simon will have new judging panel over to his house for a celebration dinner. The second season of X Factor is going to be amazing.’
