She's Got the X-Factor

I find it funny that reports are making it seem as though judging on the X-Factor is akin to delivering the State of the Union address saying that Britney Speats might not be able to handle the pressure. These reports say it could be too stressful for her. Let's get real.
There's no pressure in telling someone they can or can't sing. There's no stress either. Sure, it might be tough sometimes to tell someone who really wants to be a singer that they have no talent, but writing hit songs is tough, performing complex dance routines is tough, and being a mom is the toughest of all. But Britney has handled all three of those tasks. To say she couldn't handle something as simple as judging talent is an insult.
I understand her personality has changed over the years, that she's less excited about being in front of the camera, but that's when she's being interviewed. She won't be answering questions on the X-Factor. She might be asking them, though.
Britney is a grown woman and if she wants to be a judge she understands what's involved. These reports act like she doesn't know what goes on with the show. I know giving Britney the benefit of the doubt is not considered cool, but let's not treat her like an invalid. She may be under a conservatorship, but she's not really under a conservatorship, if you catch my drift.
If she's fit to raise two kids, which she's doing; if she's fit to tour the world, which she did; then I think judging a simple singing show shouldn't be a problem.
Besides, if anyone can relate to these kids it would be someone who's been rejected by multiple labels, been torn down and been thrown to the wolves. These kids will have to overcome adversity and their own self doubt, something about which Britney could write a book.
