Britney thinks The X Factor is a "beautiful concept"

  • May 16, 2012

Britney Spears has been revealing what motivated her sign up to her $15m judging role on The X Factor.

Elaborating on her place in the “beautiful concept”, Britney told FOX the best part was “just being able to be there and to inspire the other contestants”.

Clearly hoping to avoid the ever-doomed ‘Overs’ category, the ‘From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart’ hitmaker continued: “They’re so young and they’re trying to fulfil their dreams, it’s just a whole beautiful concept.”

Beautiful.

“Being able to be a part of this is really cool,” she con­vin­cingly added. See, Aiden Grimshaw? It is cool.
