Britney Spears gets a one, two touch of Photoshop in the new promotionals for X Factor USA season 2.
And while she -give or take- looks great, we can’t help but feel the “artificial” nature of the shot will mimic the editing of her judging ability on the show. Call us cut throat, but it’s clear Simon Cowell and co signed her on the basis of her name, rather than ability. The woman can’t perform, nor even sit through interviews anymore. How or why should she be expected to fare any better on live TV is bewildering.
In any case, being the fair and unbias site we are, we’ll wait until the show’s premiere in September to see how her narrative plays out. In the meanwhile, peep another pic after the jump…

Why so much hate. This post makes it seem like she is not capable of anything when she has been in the industry over 12 years and made a big fortune just doing some of the things this article says she cannot do. Isn’t this the same blog that said Britney should have several seats when she was touring. Now she is doing exactly that and the hate continues. Maybe someone needs a hard yet cream filling to get over their bitter streak.

she’s been in the business for 12 year but was a decent performer for only about 6 of them.
it seems like such a joke that she should be judging others for what she can no longer do.

Where’s beyonce’s album sales, music sales as compared to BRITNEY’S Since britney and beyonce is around the same age, dah, dah, dah and since RIHANNA IS YOUNGER then both of these Super Stars thanks for mentioning RIHANNA’S
name proving my point that rihanna is a force and is just as driven as the big girls so to say. Britney has sold more then beyonce in her solo career and her tenure with “Destiny Childs” explain that….

@ mc j…
mc, you’re right to give credit to beyonce for singing and dancing but rihanna and britney are in the same category when it comes to both of these. as a matter of fact rihanna may be outdoing britney in the singing department because she sounds as though she’s been taking lessons. britney could dance at one time…now not so much. during their billboard performance of s & m both of their dancing abilities were equal.

LOL. LOL. LOL. We don’t live in a perfect world. Britney wasn’t the first untalented singer to have success and she won’t be the last one. Actually, Britney used to be a good performer. But she doesn’t have any real talent as a singer. Demi Lovato has way more to share about music than Britney, but she has more to share about the music industry and fame than Demi.
Success is all about a good PR machine behind you, money, good relationship with radio stations, catchy songs and charisma.

I’ll always have a soft spot for her, especially as long as she keeps delivering flawless pop music, but I feel like this TV show is a horrible choice on her part. That’s just my opinion, though. I hope it all works out.

@TRUTH TEA,,,,When the final bell is rung it is not going to say nothing about
who was talentless, dah, dah, dah they or going to state only the good you
have accomplished and that goes for even those who you think, feel and see as the BETTER person it don’t matter a dam, it’s all in the sales, image and how the public see’s you. Britney has what it takes to make it in the industry and she’s has sold more then many artist whole careers before she turned 20 years old deery.
Just like many tries to measure one’s talent aganist anothers that will never work
because people love who they love and you can not write enough or be on no one’s
side so hard that it will make people dislike any of the artist because people love who they love and there’s not a dam thing that can change people’s minds if they love and support a certain artist, ever no matter how you huff and puff and talk shyt aganist that artist, Case and Poing Rihanna can be used as the perfet Example as to what i am saying.
