Britney Spears Enjoys Being a Tyrant on 'The X Factor' - Video

Britney Spears tells Jimmy Kimmel that she enjoys being a "tyrant" on The X Factor.  Britney and Simon Cowell both appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live after last night's The X Factor premiere.  The two of them really have great chemistry  during this interview.

When Jimmy asks Britney if she enjoys being a "tyrant" on The X Factor, Britney admits that she does, but adds that if she were the contestant she would want the judges to be honest and she wouldn't want to "waste seven years of my life when I should have been a doctor."

Both Britney and Simon tell Jimmy that when they had their initial phone conversations, which Simon calls a "love affair," they both discovered that the other was nothing like their reputations in real life.  Simon goes on to call Britney a "revelation" on the show and pats himself on the back for hiring her.

Simon confirms again that Khloe Kardashian is "in the loop" as a potential host for the show, even though Jimmy points out the irony of a Kardashian being on a talent show.  Britney seemed to find this remark much more amusing than Simon did....

I loved the interaction between Simon and Britney during this interview.  They were so relaxed, natural and funny.  If they can bring that sort of vibe to the live shows on The X Factor, I think it will be a 100% improvement over the manufactured drama on the premiere.
