Are all these inconvenient accommodations worth it for a pop star who is only going to be able to mutter
"that's neat", and
"wow that was really cool" as critiques?
Britney does know music, but I honestly don't think she has the ability to sit within a panel of judge, have witty reparte with them, or offer anything insightful. This move is purely for the starpower and the ratings, which is NAWT the kind of foundation Xfactor needs when breaking into the States. After last years mess, they need a judge that is 100% committed, not just a pop star that is wish-washy about the show in the first place, and will only be there because her team wants to squeeze a few quick dollars.
