Can you imagine a female Simon Cowell, well apparently that’s what we have to look forward to in this years X factor series.

Brian Friedman has been talking, and it seems like even the American choreographer is slightly intimidated by fellow X factor judge, Dannii Minogue.

“One girl came in for auditions and said ‘I used to love Kylie’. Dannii didn’t like being compared to sis Kylie and voted her out on the spot,” Brian told the Sunday Mirror.

“She has left several contestants in tears – she’s the meanest judge.”
