L.A. Reid talks Mariah Carey's Idol move
L.A. Reid has been working alongside Britney Spears for the past few months as the pair
judge contestants on "The X Factor", and the music mogul says he's become a huge fan of
the pop star. "Anytime you do something new it takes a second to get adjusted, but she's
a star. So she went into her - what I call - her star gear," L.A. told Billy Bush and
Kit Hoover on Thursday's Access Hollywood Live in New York City. "She went into her star
gear at a certain point and I was like, 'Oh my God. Now I get it!' Now I completely get
why this girl is so loved," he added. "She's amazing."
And L.A. was quick to clarify that while the "Till The World Ends" is a sweetheart,
she's takes no prisoners when it comes to judging. "Britney is tough! She's honest,
she's tough, she doesn't give you fluff," he said. "She doesn't just talk for the sake
of talking - she tells you exactly how she feels. She's pretty spot on - she's got good
taste."
L.A. recently lent an experienced ear to another legendary music diva - his close friend
Mariah Carey, who sought his advice before signing on to judge "American Idol". "Mariah
and I had a great conversation about it and I advised her that she should do it," he said.
"I think it's great for her."
See L.A. in action - along with Britney, Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell - when "The X Factor"
premieres on September 12 at 8/7c on FOX.
