LA Reid stresses that X Factor USA is about the contestants and not the judges

X Factor USA panelist and music mogul LA Reid has promised viewers that the new season will focus more on the contestants than the judges.

In a new promo, which was released to TV Line, Reid explains that now that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have joined the show the dynamic has altered, but it won't overshadow the search for real talent:

"I don't feel like we're taking ourselves too seriously this year. It's probably more about the talent on the stage than it is about the judges' panel."

He went on to describe the new-look judging panel as the best yet and added: "It's not some has-beens. It's not some wannabes."

"It's two girls who are hot right now matched with these two guys who love talent and love stardom. [We can] recognise it and have had great success with it. I think this is the Rolls Royce [of judging panels]."
