[@brittanywhite633]

Love Demi's advise at 17:33
"what advise would you give to someone starting out in this industry?"
"RUN" hahahaha 😂😂

[@shikobi2]

DO NOT ARGUE WITH DEMI! you asked her a question and she answered it don't try and change her answer!

[@5KARDELEN]

This interviewer is rude and should stop being rude to Demi btw Demi is my #1 rappers and djs should be other ppl's #1 but my #1 is Demi

[@acawley98]

I don't think I've ever seen demi this pissed at an interviewer.

[@HPfanatic99]

Demi was like..... don't interrupt me.... geez i hate this interviewer

[@sydney0233]

yea lol at the point where the interviewer told kelly: Sorry i think i interrupted you with this'' he was interrupting Demi

[@heidos7]

They are all so gorgeous, smart and humble. I love watching Kelly talk with so much intelligence. I love how Demi genuinely cares about the contestants and I love how funny and sweet Paulina is. Simon is a very lucky man!

[@ericasmith2012es]

i love demi.. i love all three ladies.. but demi is my girl dont ague with her.

[@GEMINICHAI]

Demi's so classy even though that interviewer was a jerk

[@vilinci]

Three beautiful, smart, talented and down to earth ladys. Best factor judges ever

[@01TheLuc]

I love Paulina! She is just real. "boys will be boys"

[@ytclairekwok2639]

this guy doesn't have enough experience, he is there to interview the interviewees but not arguing with them.....

[@goldenkevin1able]

International Pop star Paulina Rubio is still my favorite ♥

[@MrOnyxGodoy]

I'm Mexican and even when I'm not a Paulina's fan, I like the idea of having a Mexican singer in an international show and I can understand she was nervous due to the fact that Eglish in not her first language, and the other girls (specially the former destiny's child) were monopolizing the interview. Just a P.S. not only for Paulina but for all the people that failed Geography...AMERICA is not a country and it doesn't belong to a single country, America is a whole continent from the North Pole to the South Pole: Canada, USA, Mexico, and ALL the countries in Central and South America!

[@forevakidrauhl1]

Really this interviewer needs to stop being rude to demi

[@laamuzz]

i love demi and kelly- 2 very intelligent, beautiful and inspiring women

[@darianjohnson3878]

Kelly is so well spoken and slayed this interview

[@ilovelondon66]

It takes over 6:00 for Paulina to say something, and she says something that makes no sense in English (time by time?!?!). God I love her.

[@jessicasinmas]

i love her to, not her music fan, but it's just her, her personality and she is so cute, but i think her level of english was not high enough to be on this panel, but she is usually very chatty and as you say when she does talk it makes no sense at all

[@iamIqahSyafiqah]

And, dont argue with demi. The interviewer is soo rude

[@juliacanady5675]

I love how Paulina doesn't talk she's just already fabulous

[@britneylove1949]

Paulina looks a bit insecure,, very different on how she behaves in Mexico

[@lolopli1]

Come on this is all English and English is her second language...I love them three.

[@writtenIntheskys]

How would you feel if you were in Mexico doing an interview, and Spanish was you second language.. she learned English in Mexico a few years ago, so yes she is nervous.

[@candelariasotmir9507]

Maybe not insecure but nervous. I think the interviewer was ignoring Paulina. I so agree, his style is awkward. Even the Americas here are noticing him.

[@DA_7]

Cuz she knows she ain’t got nothing... people in Mexico dislike here... people in america barely know her... come on, she’s not on Britney’s level nor is she on the level of Beyoncé, Kelly, Demi, Christina and Madonna, even if she thinks she is 🙄

[@larimixmixter3168]

Of coarse cause paulinas first language it's spanish and people has criticized her english

[@PopMDNA]

Paulina looks amazing ♥

[@pattykiawa2871]

Hermosa la reina del pop latino Paulina rubio 😍 ...eres la mejor!!!

[@julieh9367]

This interviewer was just... bad.

[@kaylahmb27]

+Julie H true

[@lexilaura8787]

I love Demi and Kelly!!!

[@kirstiappleby3762]

Can this interviewer not take a joke?! Like seriously?! The first few questions with Demi and she's trying to make a joke and he's just taking it way too seriously.

[@rizaljohari9904]

For God sake give Paulina a chance!

[@jessicasinmas]

i don't think she can understand what they are talking about tbh

[@akidiskandar9121]

That interviewer sucks! The only think he cares about is charting and ratings not about the talents and the panel bonding.

[@manuelfavela6133]

Love you Paulina! !!!! Queen of latin pop

[@acommenter8723]

this is like a job interview....

[@demilovatic2520]

Demi arguing with the presenter, she is a very powerful young lady

[@paulinarubiofrance6380]

On est impatients pour découvrir la nouvelle production de Paulina. Un bisous pour elle depuis Paris!

[@koradita6305]

PAULINA RUBIO IS THE BEST SINGER THAT HAS EVER EXSISTED INTHIS UNIVERSE.SHE IS ORIGINAL,AUTHENTIC,HUMAN,SHE IS THE QUEEN.

[@haileykirmayer3367]

I have never heard her sing

[@bellaaronful]

I LOVE PAULINA RUBIO SHE´S GREAT

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

Those of you calling Lee Hawkins a jerk are all wrong. This was the best interview I have seen done with these 3 ladies. He really asked in depth questions instead of the silly nonsense that gets asked by other interviewers. The only thing he took issue with was Demi's silly answer that she didn't care about ratings. She was wrong to say that and Simon definitely doesn't want to hear her say that because the show depends on ratings.

[@haileykirmayer3367]

LOL you acting like you know everything. The show might depend on ratings but demi DOESNT. It wasnt a silly answer she was being honest and he was being rude by questioning her. You cant deny the facts

[@SADKU]

Wooooooow!!!! PAULINA RUBIO is AMAZING and SO BEAUTYFUL!!!

[@keekscarter]

Lovatic

[@aBrunoMarsfan]

Kelly is so intelligent and witty ! Love you kelly

[@___LivingLife__]

Kelly knows! She had a point! 👏🏼

[@yomero2969]

GO GO GO Paulina I know it is hard but just relax and don't be afraid to talk in English and express yourself.

[@jovitavargas1972]

Everything paulina says makes so much sense. Its just very hard to translate it to english. I totally understand her.

[@09ericzon]

I loved kelly Rowland she was the best of the show ❤️❤️❤️

[@acacius001]

Is it me or is Kelly Rowland freaking smart??!! She talks very very good. Good talker :)

[@oscarsalazar1957]

acacius001 yes My English is very basic but i could understand her perfectly , she speaks very well , i would love that everybody speaks like her .

[@koradita6305]

I LOVE YOU PAULINA RUBIO. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

[@bibicubana7898]

Wow Kelly...whatta speech! That is soo true!

[@adielpinales403]

Pau the amoo

[@54Livia]

Kelly is so smart and inspiring! Love this woman ♥

[@loveslove03ify]

The day that Demi gives up the spotlight to only work behind the scenes will be so bittersweet 💔💖

[@haileykirmayer3367]

Oh demi made a song spotlight its nit released but look it up on youtube its my favorite song by her

[@k3ld]

Paulina is like What??? I'm just going to rock my hat lol

[@oywmaxs]

Yo no soy un fan de paulina, de hecho, me gusta mas thalía; pero no siento que sea una mujer fracasada en la industria ni mucho menos que no merezca haber estado en ese programa, su ingles es bueno y hay que entender que no es la lengua con la que se maneja mayormente en su carrera, por otro lado, si dejáramos de ser malinchistas o jueces sin calidad de opinión nos daríamos cuenta de que demi y la otra chica no hablan bien el español pero a ellas se les justifica por hablar ingles, por qué no hacer lo mismo con paulina? Tiene carisma y talento pero sobre todo muchos seguidores latinos y estados unidos es un pais con muchísima gente latina.

[@CarlosLopez-qy3do]

Wezley Lennevald Wow! Debo admitir que tienes toda la razon del mundo, Paulina es buena, me encanta, la mayoria de los comentarios negativos viene de personas que solo buscan opacar su carrera.

[@Mrlatinobambino]

Wow!
Hasta que encuentro comentarios positivos hacia Paulina. No entiendo por qué mucha gente Mexicana no la quiere si ella es súper buena onda.
Pero me doy cuenta que es verdad que otro Mexicano siempre va a querer joder a otro Mexicano y es triste pero es verdad. Saludos.

[@JohnnyBMaxwell]

Paulina ♡♥♡

[@archi1672]

some people keep talking nonsense, i think paulina is talented how many of you can speak other language than English? at least she can speak more than 3 languages that is brilliant... she is Bilingual, she can communicate and be understood... You only speak English fluently because it is your first language try other languages and see how stupid you will sound... LEAVE PAULINA ALONE... I THINK THE X FACTOR PRODUCERS HAVE A REASON FOR CHOOSING HER AS A JUDGE...

[@Mrlatinobambino]

Arckoriyel I would say that your comment was PERFECT. I love PAULINA RUBIO and DEMI LOVATO.

[@haileykirmayer3367]

Yeah and shes even more intelligent for learning English. One of the hardest languages to learn. And whatever happened to her after ex factor I never heard of her again

[@PauKyl]

OMG Paulina!!

[@MIMImimi182]

She's So cute When Demi talk about Fifth Harmony , It's so Adorable to see HOW MUCH Fifth Harmony loves and adores her And also You can See here that she feels the same way SO CUTE ^.^

[@Seeeso1]

Those judges are amazing! Love them all

[@marissa13lovatic]

Tell him demi! He's a littlr rude

[@TheEuzkatroika]

Odio a paulina, pero no por eso he de admitir que en comparación de la demi, se ve mas joven y eso que le lleva como 20 años

[@bettytapia9472]

La más internacional de México paulina rubio es una estrella

[@TheMyeater]

omg this interviewer is so rude and should get fired wtf, ive seen two horrible interviewere in two days now

[@maori94]

that is a real interview. thanks!

[@YilberContrerasCestMoi]

Sé que en un comentario anterior, me referí a Paulina como si no supiera inglés; pero haciendo la entrevista.. puede notarsele lo nerviosa que está. Encontrándose en otro país, hablando otro idioma es un reto y ¡wow! ella, sinceramente lo hace bien.

[@gusgolden9372]

PAULINA RUBIO
QUEEN OF LATINO POP!!

[@luiscota8612]

Paulina is so gorgeous i mean this woman hasn't aged a bit i think she looks better than the other 2, now Demi and Kelly are beautiful woman but Paulina is older than them and she looks fantastic!

[@ameliahubbard6842]

If you mess with the Demi you get the Lovatics.

[@jlaraist]

Paulina, super bien! Tu estas ahí, entre los grandes porque eres grande; el que la hace, la hace; y no hay nada que demostrar a nadie. En boca cerrada no entran moscas! el ingles vale gorro, you did it just right my friend!
:)
Eres un ejemplo para los mexicanos. Ojala haya mas Paulinas en la cantada y en otros negocios.

[@bobcairns7239]

Well done Kelly for guiding the old ship, hats off. Hasn't anyone told me me to get a room when she wants to go frigging in the rigging?

[@lexylorent]

Does anyone else love how much Demi talks about Emblems3 and Fifth Harmony??

[@jesusgomez-yx6tc]

PAULINA RUBIO = QUEEN OF LATIN POP.

[@jcharlottete5]

The interviewer seems a bit rude and disrespectful

[@rubenvazquez31]

Kelly is llike an agent of PR

[@megan8561]

This is such and inspiring interview and loving the new season of X Factor USA

[@juanjorodriguez9327]

PAULINA THE BEST. SO COOL

[@michaelreagan2751]

Paulina´s accent is hot! she´s flawless.

[@no9031]

María Gabriela Cazares Como siempre una pendeja latina criticando a los latinos.

[@Faraona955]

que pena pero no por ser latina voy a decir que me guste su forma de hablar o actuar....listo....además que esta artista para mi no es de mi agrado, apoyo a otras latinas que si son artistas de verdad, cantan de verdad, bailan de verdad, tienen canciones que aportan y tienen sentido. Ella es fofa vacía....y si no me gusta pues que pena contigo si te duele tanto....y ya ya ! no me interesa tampoco lo que digan los demas punto!. jajaj

[@juanzamarripa4742]

María Gabriela Cazares Para gustos los se hicieron los colores ,así como no es de tu agrado. a mucha gente no le agradas tu tampoco. Nadie es monedita de oro. para caerles bien a todos. b. Comprate una vida para que seas feliz. Te oyes amargadisima,.

[@enriquealonso5174]

I love Paulina Rubio, she's super gorgeous and pretty but its not only about the looks, she need to break the ice and be more outgoing, confident. It makes me think she doesn't know how to reply or answer his questions in English :( Pau get some English classes if that's the case...

[@qiaopescao]

Demi's smile when he said One Direction

[@coralcarangi1]

Great job paulina !!!

[@chriss20able]

[@harveyjd8142]

Kelly is not smarter than demi, both are intelligent ladies. Kelly is a 32 yr old grown woman with over 13years in the industry and life experience. Demi is 12years her junior and in the earlier days of her career. People need to stop being ridiculous and realise you cant compare grown woman with young girls

[@tploko]

i love u paulina¡

[@JesseJBDL]

well now Demi has almost 19 M followers woah

[@EdsonSTello]

Paulina's new single this month!
