Will Britney Spears rock her new gig on “The X Factor” or could this be a train wreck waiting to happen?

Well according to Britney, she’s going to do fine even though everyone is having their doubts.

Last week at the “X Factor” announcement in New York, Britney was looking like a hot mess. She seemed nervous, wore a lipstick stained dress and had bitten her fingernails so much they were bleeding!

But according to a source, Spears knows people’s concerns and can’t wait to prove them wrong.

“Britney is well aware of what the critics are saying about her. She is anxious to prove to everyone that she isn’t just a ditzy blonde and she is hunkered down with Jason, who will be with her at all times during the auditions and filming,” the source reveals.

“Britney is excited for the public to see a new side of her and is using the criticism to give her motivation to prove all the naysayers wrong,” adds the source.

Anyone else feel like the source is her dad?

Although supportive, Britney’s fiancé Jason Trawick has his concerns and will be monitoring her closely as to make sure she the pressure doesn’t get to her.

“Jason is obviously concerned about the pressure Britney is placing on herself,” says the source. “She is a perfectionist when it comes to her work but she is still under a conservatorship and she does continue to see a mental health professional at least once a week.”

Wow, I guess we will have to tune in to see what Britney can do!

The X Factor returns this fall on FOX.
