The X Factor auditions have only just kicked off, but already the new batch of judges are bonding together, and Breaking Celebrity News has a sneak peak at their backstage love fest.
As we previously reported, Britney Spears walked off the set in Kansas City, Missouri, on Friday with fiancé Justin Trawick following closely behind her. Meanwhile Simon Cowell wasn’t there at all, citing “illness” for his absence and having The X Factor UK judge Louis Walsh stand in for him.
But by Saturday, Britney’s mini-meltdown was a thing of the past, and she appeared more settled in her new role thanks to the support of her sidekicks.
In a behind the scenes interview on the set, the judges revealed their initial thoughts about the contestants who have strutted their stuff on stage for them. Newcomer Brit tried to be polite by subtly saying, “They were a little bizarre performances overall,” while Walsh didn’t hold back, “Awful!” he said bluntly.
“It’s been a little suspect,” revealed label mogul L.A. Reid. “But we’re going back now to audition more, so we’re still hopeful.”
Spears summed it up with one word, “Potential – but not quite X Factor.”
