"The X Factor USA&amp;#039;s Britney Spears has joked that she is &amp;quot;elated&amp;quot; to be competing in primetime with Christina Aguilera&amp;#039;s The Voice. The two shows will go head-to-head in the ratings on Wednesday (September 11) due to NBC&amp;#039;s decision to add a third night to The Voice&amp;#039;s season premiere week.   Spears was asked how she feels about facing her longtime pop rival Aguilera in this talent show ratings battle while speaking to Access Hollywood. &amp;quot;[I&amp;#039;m] ecstatic. I&amp;#039;m elated,&amp;quot; Spears quipped. The &amp;#039;Toxic&amp;#039; singer added that she really doesn&amp;#039;t feel as if there&amp;#039;s any competition because The Voice and The X Factor USA are so different. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really interesting. I do find they&amp;#039;re both really interesting shows,&amp;quot; she admitted. &amp;quot;I mean, they captivate on the same things. In all honestly, I do feel like they&amp;#039;re two totally different shows, you can&amp;#039;t really compare the two.&amp;quot;   Her fellow X Factor judge Simon Cowell reiterated his displeasure with NBC&amp;#039;s decision to schedule the shows against each other. &amp;quot;None of us are happy about it. It is literally what&amp;#039;s known as &amp;#039;spoiling the party&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Cowell declared. The Voice continues its three-night premiere tonight (September 11) at 8/7c on NBC and airs at the same time on Wednesday. The X Factor USA kicks off its second season at 8/7c on Wednesday on Fox.
