Britney Spears: Judging 'American Idol' Would Be Awesome

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted May 16th 2011 09:30PM

Britney Spears graces the latest cover of Harper's Bazaar and in the accompanying interview, she talks about her upcoming tour, her biggest fashion mistake and why she thinks Justin Bieber is adorable.

When asked about her new album, Femme Fatale, Spears revealed, "I've worked so hard on this album, so it's really refreshing. I feel like I'm drinking a tall glass of homemade sweet tea on a really hot, beautiful day."

The 29-year-old singer also talked about her Femme Fatale tour. "I love to dance, so it's very exciting. The tour rehearsals have been going really well. I think it will be my best show yet."

More excerpts after the jump.

On her biggest fashion mistake:
"Ten years ago at the Billboard awards, I wore this orange hat and orange bra and orange booty pants and purple fishnets. Oh, and I had an orange jacket on. I actually thought I looked hot at the time. But, um, I definitely stood out. I thought it was just a marvelous idea to wear this purple and orange outfit."

On Justin Bieber:
"I think he's adorable. I just saw his movie, and I really didn't realize how big he was. He's enormous; he's just Mr. Man. A lot of the movie is really similar to what I did when I was starting out. I did a promo tour for a year, going into radio stations and all that. It was so cool to see our similarities."

On Rihanna:
"I love "S&M" and "Only Girl" by Rihanna; that's why I jumped on the "S&M" remix. She's really cool. I like her a lot."

On what she's learned from Madonna:
"I guess she's really taught me to stay true to myself. That seems like a simple thing to say, but she taught me through action, not just by saying it. There are so many people around you that have opinions, but you just have to listen to your instincts."

On being a judge on 'American Idol':
"That would be awesome. I wouldn't be a tough judge, though."

Too all the naysayers, I think Britney's actually on the mend and permanently turning her life around. Perhaps she really does realize how ridiculous she looks in some of the outfits she's recently worn on stage. I hope so.

I'm under the impression that Harper's Bazaar decided to ask her about being a judge on Idol...not that there was any real talk of Idol asking her to be a judge. Some of you seem very upset about something that will very likely never be a possibility.
