"The X Factor USA&amp;#039;s Simon Cowell has joked that he gets on better with Britney Spears than Demi Lovato. X Factor judges spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour on Monday (July 23), with Cowell discussing his chemistry with Lovato and Spears.  &amp;quot;[Britney is] a really, really good judge. Demi is a brat, but there&amp;#039;s something very likeable about her as well,&amp;quot; Cowell quipped. He added facetiously of choosing Lovato for the panel: &amp;quot;[We needed] somebody a bit younger, because I&amp;#039;m in my 30s.&amp;quot; Spears also revealed that she became a fan of The X Factor on her last tour, but it was her make-up artist who actually convinced her to join the show. &amp;quot;Actually, my make-up artist was the make-up artist for Simon\u2026 We just all met up and it made sense. I adore Simon and it was something I really wanted to do,&amp;quot; she explained.  Cowell recently commented that he&amp;#039;s been &amp;quot;fascinated&amp;quot; in watching Spears judge The X Factor during auditions. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s not on the show to be Britney Spears on a TV show\u2026 She&amp;#039;s actually there to prove to the world there&amp;#039;s more to her, and she&amp;#039;s got the ability to do this job really well. She&amp;#039;s taken the role really seriously,&amp;quot; he said. The X Factor USA&amp;#039;s second season will debut this September on Fox.
