“Extra’s” Renee Bargh caught up with “The X Factor” judge and mentor Demi Lovato after the show's double elimination Thursday, and the singer opened up about her war of words with Simon Cowell.


After Cowell’s boy band Emblem3 performed Wednesday, Lovato expressed some strong feelings. She commented, “I just don't understand what Simon is doing with you guys. Every week I know you are going to be standing next to each other singing a song, but people are going to like you because you are good looking. I don't think this is genuine at all.”
