In a new advertisement for the upcoming season of THE X FACTOR, first-time judge Britney Spears can be heard dishing out tougher criticism to contestants than some may have expected. 

The 17-second promo, which focuses on highlighting a different side of the 30-year-old pop star, begins with the question: “Has America’s sweetheart been hanging out with Simon Cowell too much?”

Immediately, the ad transitions to brief clips of Spears delivering blunt one-liners to contestants.  Among the remarks are, “You can’t destroy that song sweetie,” and, “You definitely don’t have the X Factor.”

With the absence of softer criticisms from former judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, it appears as if the second season of the hit Fox show will carry on with a tougher panel.
