X Factor USA's Demi Lovato 'Loves Messing' With Simon Cowell

As the start of the X Factor USA live shows edges closer, judge Demi Lovato has spoken of her relationship with head judge Simon Cowell and revealed that she "loves messing" with him.

The duo's sparring became one of our favourite moments on the show during the auditions earlier this year.

Speaking about Simon, Us Weekly reported Demi as saying:

"I love messing with him. He's really funny and I have a lot of fun working with him. But someone has to put him in his place. I mean you can't come to the United States from England and make fun of all of us! I have to stand up for my country."

The star also spoke of her music commitments, explaining what she wants her next album to sound like.

She added: "I'm bringing the sound of real music back. I think Adele does a great job they are catchy pop songs, but it's real music and there are instruments. I want to bring a lot of that back.

"There's going to be some fun, light-hearted songs with kind of a throwback sound. But I say one thing and then I spend like a month in the studio and it ends up being totally different, so I don't know."

Demi recently admitted that being famous was a "blessing" and a "curse", telling People magazine:

"Just as much as it sucks to have tabloids writing about you, at the same time I had all these issues and I was able to raise awareness because I came out publicly with those issues and then I have tons of fans that come up and tell me, 'Oh, I got help with my eating disorder or this because you came out and said it'.

"Had it not been for the publicity and the tabloids or whatever it was, they may not have had a chance to save their own lives."
