Lady Gaga has vowed never to sit alongside Simon Cowell on his American Idol judging panel, because it isn't her job to tell wannabe singers if they have what it takes.

The "Just Dance" pop sensation got her start in the music industry writing songs for established acts such as Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls before carving out a successful solo career.

And her slow rise to the top has shown her she could never take part in auditioning artists on a TV talent show, insisting every musician has the right to try for stardom.

She says, "I've never been asked to be a judge, but I wouldn't say yes if I was.

"I don't believe it's right to judge music. It's so personal. Right now I'm possessed with this incredible instinctual energy to write joyous melodies. I don't know where it's coming from."
