After a 15-year-old singer named Jordan Shane forgot her words and began crying over the flub, Britney told fellow judge L.A. Reid, said, "I don't like that she's crying -- It makes me want to cry -- I don't want to cry."

L.A. Reid told the teary Sometimes singer, "You already are."

Britney later tweeted of the display: "I couldn't help getting emotional. It's so hard to watch them crack under pressure when I know they want it so badly."
