L.A. Reid: 'Britney would have been a successful X Factor contestant'
L.A. Reid believes Britney Spears and Demi Lovato would have progressed far in the 'X Factor' if they entered when they were up and coming musicians.
L.A. Reid thinks Britney Spears would have been a successful 'X Factor' contestant.
The 'Toxic' singer and 'Skyscraper' hitmaker Demi Lovato both joined the judging panel of the show this year but L.A. believes they would have had no problems competing if they were just starting out because they are both talented and hard workers.
He said: ''I think that both Britney and Demi would've been able to handle it. These girls are really talented and they were trained to work hard. They didn't become a success because they were slackers. Both of them worked really, really hard coming up the ranks.''
L.A. also claimed he would win if he auditioned because he does such a good rendition of Prince's 'When Doves Cry'.
He explained: ''If it was me, very simple. I would go up and I would sing 'When Doves Cry' by Prince. And I would win. By the way, I would sing it in Boot Camp and would sing it in the finals and I would win. I'd be a one-trick pony and would only do one song, 'When Doves Cry'.''
They shouldnt be talking about who woulda bn successful on it when they actually havent produced any successful recording artist thus far. Britney never needed a reality tv show. Mmc doesnt count
If voice is the only factor she would not be able to make it. But if stage preaence really does count it wpuld overshadow her weak voice and the judges will praise her performance. LA didn't lie
yes, "okay, Reid." An industry veteran and music/talent pioneer. I think he knows what he's talking about.

I'm glad Britney worked hard to get to where she is without a tv show. I think talent competition shows are purely for tv entertainment. After that, I don't use the contestants.
Just because he's working with them doesn't mean he has to lie and say stuff like this. Of course he wouldn't say they suck but it doesn't mean he is lying when he says they're great.
I mean their success in the industry already proves his claims.

@ the thought of him singing "When Doves Cry" though. Bye Mrs. Reid.
