Demi Lovato is featured on this week’s cover of TV Guide. She is joined by her fellow X-Factor judges, Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, and L.A. Reid. Highlights from the interview are below.

On being asked to be a judge: “I really feel like being the first young judge on any of these vocal competition shows is a lot of pressure, but at the same time, it’s great because I get to bring in a perspective from the audience that’s around my age. I was nervous at first because it’s not like I have the experience that L.A., Simon and Britney have. But I know how hard people have to work to get to where they want to be, and I can spot somebody who has talent and who’s memorable and could be a pop star.”

On the most surprising thing viewers will learn about the judges: “I’ve said from Day 1, when [Britney] stepped on set, how funny she is. I don’t think a lot of people have gotten to see her personality and her sense of humor.”
