"To me, it's not about the host or the judges or anything else. It's about the competitors and what they do," she tells PopEater.

The former Pussycat Dolls singer is one of the favorites for a spot on the judging panel when the pop star search show launches Stateside and she admits she is desperate to get the call from Simon Cowell. During an appearance on British breakfast TV show "Lorraine," she said: "I have no idea what is going on, but I think that if they did ask me to do it I would definitely be honored ? Simon's not a bad guy to be around."
Nicole is wanted by Simon for his new American TV project because of her impressive displays as a guest judge on the UK version of "The X Factor" when she filled in for Cheryl Cole when she had malaria.
And the 32-year-old pop beauty believes she makes a good judge because she went through the same audition process as the hopefuls do when she landed her place in the Pussycat Dolls.
Nicole - who is dating Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton - added: "That whole experience was so new to me, but it was fun and I guess if anyone can empathize with what they are going through - I've been through the exact same audition process, that's how I got my big break in the US."
"And it's what I love more than anything in the world, so why wouldn't I be excited? I was happy to be a part of the show."
NEW YORK (Billboard) – New "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez blasted back onto the Billboard Hot 100 on Thursday with her highest debut in more than eight years as "On the Floor" grabbed the No. 9 position.
It marks Lopez's first top 10 as a lead artist since the four-week No. 1 "All I Have," featuring LL Cool J, in 2003. That song also marked her previous highest debut, having arrived at No. 25 at the end of 2002.
Her Island Def Jam label synched its digital release with the premiere of its video on Thursday's "Idol" episode. The song, with Pitbull as a featured vocalist, precedes the April 19 release of Lopez's seventh album, "Love?"
"On the Floor" also marks Lopez's 10th Hot 100 top 10, a sum that includes four No. 1s. She last reached the top 10 as a featured artist on LL Cool J's "Control Myself" in 2006.
Divas dominated the Hot 100 headlines, as Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" spent a third week at No. 1, dating to its debut on top two weeks ago. With cumulative digital sales of 1.2 million downloads, it's the fifth-best-selling song this year.
At three weeks atop the Hot 100, "Born" ties Gaga's 2009 debut single "Just Dance" for the longest of her three chart reigns. ("Poker Face" ruled the chart for a week in 2009.)
Cee Lo Green's "F*** You (Forget You)" was No. 2 for a second week, Bruno Mars' "Grenade" held at No. 3, Pink's "F**kin' Perfect" rebounded two to No. 4, and Rihanna's "S&M" jumped two to No. 5.
Katy Perry's "Firework" slipped one to No. 6, but the pop singer also soared 20 to No. 8 with "E.T.," featuring Kanye West. In between, Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" jumped two to No. 7. Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor," featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey, fell six to No. 10.
Simon Cowell continues to be cagey regarding final selection for the 'X Factor' judges panel. He did, however, reveal the names of possible judges and those who definitely aren't being considered on 'Access Hollywood Live'. Cowell said that George Michael, Nicole Scherzinger, Mariah Carey and Paula Abdul are possibilities, but that Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry are not. He also said that Elton John is absolutely not in the running "He's so grumpy nowadays. He'd just be moaning the whole time," said Cowell. Watch the video after the jump.
But Billy Bush takes Cowell's dig at John as a sign that the singer is "definitely in." "The catfight between these two is going to be epic," said Bush.

The "Dirrty" singer - who was arrested for public intoxication on Tuesday (March 1, 2011) alongside boyfriend Matthew Rutler who was charged with driving under the influence (DUI) - will be the third member of the judging and mentoring panel on the new TV show alongside Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5's Adam Levine. She said in a statement: "I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it. To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms."
"I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to 'The Voice.'"
The NBC show is set to rival "American Idol" and Simon Cowell's US 'X Factor' when it launches in America later this year.
"The Voice" is to be produced by Mark Burnett and John de Mol, who created "The Voice of Holland," the Dutch show it is based on and late night talk show host Carson Daly has been lined up to present.
