The X Factor

De finale The X Factor.

The X Factor.

X Factor.

Excitement currently growing.

And we mean thousands have come to give it a shot.

Let's go! We here!

Let's take over the world.

Let's go.

I'm so excited!

They're not gonna forget my name.

You sang like a dog trying to lay an egg.

I have absolutely no idea who's gonna walk in.

Whether this is gonna be a disaster or a spectacular

success, you just don't know.

That was incredible.

You took that thing to places that even Beyonce wouldn't take

it.

A new year, new people.

I'm really excited about it.

You need to take a breath mint if you're gonna get that

close to my face.

I am the youngest person on the panel.

But what people don't realize is

being in this industry for about four to five years, you can

learn a lot.

I know what my generation is listening to right now.

I think I know what it takes to make a star.

When you sang, you broke my heart.

Britney is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

And now she wants to find the next Britney.

I'm really, really excited about becoming a judge.

Yeah!

I have been doing this business since I was eight years old.

I think I have a lot to offer in knowing and understanding

talent.

You are a little diva.

You're gonna discover Britney, demi unfiltered.

I feel uncomfortable with you even staring at me.

I have no idea what's gonna happen.

Oh, my God.

Just three minutes to change your life.

The performance of a lifetime.

I love you and I believe in you, so, do it.

The song wasn't working.

I know I'm better than what I did.

Oh, my God!

Don't let Simon see this.

Oh, my God!

That was not a great song for you to sing.

Aah!

Hey, good morning, guys.

The X Factor is in Austin, Texas.

Can you believe it is season two already?

Things are really, really busy around the X Factor auditions.

Traffic is horrendous.

I mean, it's really backed up.

Austin showed up in droves.

So fun.

So many people here.

I'm ready to show America what a 14-year-old country girl

can do.

We got this.

Yeah, are you ready?

Yes.

You've got thousands of people out there.

Oh, my God!

Look at all these people!

Folks, just keep walking in this way.

Ladies, get ready to open your purses for bag checks.

Young ladies, stay in line. Purses for bag checks.

I can't wait to meet him!

Showtime. Here we go.

Austin, Texas.

I am so nervous right now, because I'm about to embark on a

whole new journey.

So Simon is gonna love me.

Right?

Say yes.

Yes.

I'm excited about this year.

With Austin, if we can start with a star, then I'm gonna be

in a good mood.

Britney Spears... legend already.

I had every single Britney cd.

Waiting, like, my whole life to, like, meet Britney Spears.

Britney.

It's really intimidating, because I actually sit there

and have to be opinionated on people achieving their dreams.

It's gonna be really, you know, hard for me.

So I'm excited.

But, um, I'm gonna have to beat up Simon a couple of times,

I think.

Great to see you.

How are you?

Simon! Simon! Simon!

Simon! Simon!

What's up, baby?

We're here.

Here we go.

Britney!

How are you?

Oh, thank you.

You look cute.

I like those shoes.

Thanks. I like your dress.

Those are rocking.

Are we a little bit nervous?

A little nervous.

I'm actually really nervous.

Yeah, you look nervous.

And the worst thing that can happen, demi, is you can't

remember a single thing, you make a complete fool of

yourself, and your career's over.

Great, cool.

That's the worst that can happen.

Awesome, thanks.

Did that make you feel better?

No pressure at all.

It's exciting.

So exciting.

Do you know where you're sitting?

No.

I'm guessing we're in the middle, though, 'cause were the girls.

Girls.

Yes?

There's gonna be an awful lot of screaming for me, okay?

Okay.

Just so you kind of get used to that, all right?

Gotcha.

It's kind of hysterical.

They're just gonna be so impressed by your new outfit

that they've never seen before.

Think... you think so?

Yeah.

Welcome your judges!

L.A. Reid!

Demi Lovato!

Simon cowell!

Showtime.

And Britney Spears!

You know the rules.

$5 million to the winner.

Have fun.

Are you mama's pretty flower girl?

You ready?

No.

No? Come on.

We're gonna go see the judges!

So who are you most excited to see, with everyone here?

Say, whoo!

Whoo!

My name is Paige Thomas.

I'm 21 years old, and I'm from San Antonio, Texas.

There we go. All right.

Thank you.

Get excited. Thanks, guys.

I love Britney Spears.

I can recall, when I was nine years old, singing to my wall,

with her face on my wall.

And I remember I was trying to learn to dance, with, like, some

weird, like, dance-box thingy or whatever.

The fact that Britney's a mom and she's still doing her thing

and she's still looks hotter than ever... I want to be like that.

So... I'm in love with her.

She's awesome.

Okay.

My name is Kaci Newton.

And my friends and family are so excited, so supportive.

My older sister is one of my biggest supporters.

She's here with me today me is they think, "oh, this is

a little blonde girl from Texas."
