Demi Lovato shines as X Factor judge

Although all eyes have been on Britney Spears this week during the X Factor season premiere, Demi Lovato has been in the shadows creating a name for herself on the singing reality show.

PEOPLE magazine reports that while Lovato, 20, is a full decade younger than the queen of pop, she shouldnt be ruled out, as both powerhouses have reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard music charts.

And while some viewers may not think Lovato has enough experiences to qualify as a judge, the young starlet has been through her fair share of trials, helping her to have empathy and understanding of the tough road that is making it in the music industry.

According to E! News, Lovato has a kind heart and lots of love to give, which make her instantly likeable amongst viewers.

When 19-year-old contestant Jillian Jensen shared her troubled past with the judges during her audition, Lovato was quick to comfort her with a hug and say, Its OK. I know exactly what youve gone through.

Another reason Demi is rocking her new job? She isnt afraid to bicker and talk back to fellow judge, and boss, Simon Cowell. And we all know how entertaining it is to see someone put that man in his place!

The X Factor comes on FOX at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
