The chairman of Fox thought Britney did pretty well on The US X Factor actually

britney-iwannagoThe chairman of Fox, your friend and ours Kevin Reilly, thought Britney Spears did pretty well on US X Factor and would quite like her to come back and do it again please.

Having a chat with reporters at the Television Critics Association in Pasadena (WHERE WERE OUR INVITES?), Reilly was asked how he thought the last 'season' went.

"I thought it went very, very well. It was sort of fraught with unknowns, [but] I think Britney did a really good job. People are really fas­cin­ated with her and always will be."

"Last year the ratings were a little bit higher, but I think it was a better show this year. I think she tucked in really nicely on the bench," he continued.

Aware that people wanted Spearo to say a little bit more than just "that was amazing", he added: "She's just an inter­est­ing figure who's led a unique life, and I thought she brought some of that and people got to know her a little bit. Maybe some people were waiting for more drastic displays of some nature that never came."

When asked if he would like here to come back again he said: "Yeah".
