People who were at the taping tell us she was upset by the audience reacting negatively to some of her comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fact is ... \"X Factor\" wanted Britney so desperately, she was able to negotiate terms that are \"unheard of\" -- so say people with direct knowledge of her deal. As one source put it, \"Simon is a smart and shrewd businessman who knew Britney could make his show and he was willing to give her just about anything to come on board -- and he did.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Britney is allowed to walk off any time she wants. And that's just the beginning. Britney can do just about anything she wants ... and get $15 million in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice work if you can get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
