So I read in the news today, Britney Spears was just hired to be a panel judge in a star search talent show. Yawn. Saw it before with America's Idol and other generics. Getting Spears to be a judge isn't big news and wont make a show any more exciting or boring... unless she was a judge on a foreign language show... in a major European market... and expected to understand the contestants in their native languages. Do I have your attention now?
This story comes from Politiken.dk who have supplied a video introducing Spears to the audience, where she is introduced in English. This is a chance for Spears to show Denmark she has some serious chops, both in her mental capacity to learn a new language, but also in her taste of music. Seeing her do well on X-Factor is not the entertainment one might be looking for though. It is the, and my choice of words here is a nod to her learning Danish, skadefryd many Danes will be expecting to revel in while watching Spears, who is being dropped into a foreign culture and understandably commit a few faux pas sins.
I wish all the best to Spears and I do expect you to learn at least some Danish. Just do your best not to sound Swedish.

Okay. Gonna eat this one. Posted too quick. Did not hear the part about how it was going to be on the American version of X-Factor. DOH!
