Simon Cowell On Britney Spears - 'Sweet As A Lemon'

Asked what he thinks of Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, the creator of US talent show, "The X Factor", joked to reporters, she is "as sweet as a lemon," during the early promotions for it's second season that starts on September.

"Britney is quite mean, which I think you will discover," Cowell reportedly remarked with reporters on Monday in a satellite appearance on Monday.

The joke seems to come from some of Britney's  remarks to contestants during audition for the TV contest such as :"You can't destroy that song, sweetie," "Predictable," and "I want to know who let you on stage," These were just some of the remarks delivered by Britney Spears, a new judge on the panel of the TV show.
