Britney Spears’ appearance on the X Factor mesmerised millions of viewers. This has been her first UK performance in the show so far, which received mixed response from different people.
Dressed in fishnet tights and black hot pants, the star participated in the live show and performed on the stage. Addressing the contestants in the circus-themed show, she said, “Good luck and just keep doing it.” She also said, “I love being here in London, it’s awesome.”
The star singer has traveled from Paris and is said to be accompanied by 45 people including stylists and security staff. To make the show special for Britney Spears, every contestant covered one of her classic tracks along with an American classic. However, everyone did not seem to be impressed by the three minute mimed performance. Among others, James Corden said that “I’ve got the CD – I don’t need to sit here and watch someone mime it. She puts on a half-ar**d performance and then leaves to play at Heaven [G.A.Y club].” On the other hand, Simon Cowell said, “She was just staring at me. I said, ‘Touch me, I’m human,’ and I think that broke the ice.”
Interestingly, Cowell had to stand outside Britney’s dressing room for 10 minutes to wait for a photograph. As per a source, “He looked like a bit of lemon after being forced to wait for her. It was his show but Britney didn’t care.”
