Pop star Britney Spears says she “absolutely hated” her role as a judge on “X Factor USA” in her memoir, “The Woman In Me,” which was officially released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
The Pop Princess appeared on the show in 2012 along with Demi Lovato to replace judge Nicole Scherzinger, who would later become a judge on “The Masked Singer,” and Paula Abdul. Britney and the “Skyscraper” singer starred on the judging panel alongside veteran hosts Simon Cowell and LA Reid but felt she wasn’t right for the job.

In an excerpt of “The Woman In Me” obtained by the Daily Mail and published a day before the book’s official publication, Britney said that she had difficulty acting “skeptical for eight hours straight,” which made filming “X Factor USA” very exhausting. .
“Feeling like I needed more direction, I decided to go back to work. I try to keep myself busy by being productive. I started appearing on more TV shows – including, in 2012, as a judge on The X Factor,” Britney wrote in her memoir. “I think a lot of people are really professional on TV, like Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani. When the cameras are on them, they’re thriving. And that’s great.”

“I used to be able to do that when I was younger, but then again, I feel like I’m getting older when I’m scared,” he explained. “So I got to the point where I was really, really nervous if I knew I had to go on air, and I don’t like being nervous all day. Maybe I’m just not good at it anymore. I’ve accepted it now and it’s fine.”
“I can tell people who are trying to push me in that direction no. I was forced to do things I didn’t want to do and was humiliated. It’s not my thing at this point,” he continued. “Now, if you have me in a cute cameo on a fun TV show where I’m in and out of the day that’s one thing, but to act skeptical for eight hours straight while judging on TV? Uh, no thanks. I really hate it.”

The former “American Idol” judge previously begged the pop star to return to work with him again in November 2022. He praised the “beautiful” star for having “interesting ideas about how to launch one’s career.”
At the time, she told E! News: “We spent a long time on the phone talking about The X Factor before we did it. There’s a side of Britney that a lot of people don’t know about. I mean, I’m on the phone with her for two or three hours at a time. She’s such a brilliant idea and interesting about how to launch other people’s careers, which is important if you’re going to be a judge on one of these shows. So I have a great relationship with him.”
“If you’re watching Britney and we’re performing, please come back and do it with me. It will be amazing. I adore him,” he continued. “He’s really interesting and he’s very talented.”

Although Britney had to perform on “X Factor USA” because of her conservatorship, now that she is free to make her own rules, it seems unlikely that she has plans to host the entire season. It’s possible she might return as a guest act, but even so, as Britney wrote, “That’s none of my business at this point.”
At the time, while still talking about “X Factor USA,” Simon Cowell told The Sun: “The X Factor at the beginning, when there were no expectations on us and we could just do what we liked, was a lot of fun. When it worked, everyone people, including me, went a little crazy.”
“It was a time in my life where everything was great on the surface but underneath, it wasn’t fun, and it wasn’t great. Everything is distorted. And I don’t want to feel that way anymore,” he added. “Now I think you have to be satisfied with the quality of things, not what you’re judged on – ratings or chart position.”
