X Factor Judges Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid Talks Candidly About Each Other and Simon Cowell Meanness [VIDEO]

"The X Factor" Season 2 judges Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid talk to Access Hollywood candidly about their thoughts on the latest X Factor auditions and about each other.

Contrary to what some believe, Britney Spears doesn't think she is the toughest judge and considers herself a fair judge.

"Sometimes it's kind of hard because I know what they've been through and being so young and achieving their dreams and stuff ... So you just have to use constructive criticism and be there for them and just show them support."

Spears is looking for bit more "spark" and "funk" in the contestant - someone who looks like this is what they were meant to do. She also points her finger at Simon Cowell saying that he would beat the rest at being the toughest judge.

Super songstress Demi Lovato considers herself as an honest judge - not mean nor nice. "I really just say it like it is," says Lovato. It's the overall package that she considers. Lovato calls Cowell "great", but she also expresses annoyance on Simon Cowell's nagging at her. "I don't know if I can take it any longer," she jokes, adding, "I give it back to him, but I don't let it bother me."

Fellow judge, L.A. Reid seems to get along well with Lovato, calling her "too good to be so young" and his "BFF for life". Britney on the other hand is "slightly intimidating" because of the caliber of her stardom, he says.

Spears and Lovato have replaced Season 1's Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger after months of speculation on who would join the judge panel.
