Another season of “America’s Got Talent” kicks off tonight at 9/8c! Hollywood Reporter sat down with new judge, Mel B. to talk about this season’s contestants.

The Hollywood Reporter: How did you become involved with America’s Got Talent?
Mel B: I got the phone call and got offered the job and was like, “Yeah!” I love this show, and of course the fact that it’s now in New York at Radio City Music Hall — that’s a legendary place that makes the show even more exciting. It’s a great family show, and people love watching it. I’ve watched for many years; I sit down with my kids and watch it. It’s nice to be a part of it.
THR: How has your experience as a judge been so far?
Mel B: I was actually a judge on The X Factor in the U.K. and Australia, but this is different because I have no idea what to expect next. Someone comes on the stage and all of a sudden there’s a snake around their neck or they’re putting a sword down their throat. Then there’s also singing and dancing. It’s truly a proper variety show, and anything can happen. It’s like experiencing a roller-coaster ride, everyone is so different, but thoroughly enjoyable.
