Just like American Idol and The Voice, X Factor has switched up their line-up of judges for their upcoming season. So who will be filling the chairs of Britney Spears and LA Reid?
Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio!
Really?
Here’s what Simon [Cowell] had to say about his choices:
It’s taken more than a decade but I’m delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!). Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different.
Kelly was a judge on season 8 of X Factor UK, and of course with her solo stuff and Destiny’s Child experience she can definitely help the contestants – but does she have the personality for it?
Now as for Paulina, she’s a Latin artist and was in a girl group growing up and then went solo, but when was her last US hit?
If you’re still scratching your head about who she is, she’s best known here for this 2002 song:
Now, I LOVE that song, but same thing as with Kelly – does she have the personality for it?
I think Demi Lovato is a great fit and her and Simon have great chemistry. Mario Lopez (host) is also returning (with no Khloe Kardashian) but will the 2 new judges make it better or worse? Stay the same?
What do you think?
X Factor will premiere in the fall on Fox. For audition information check out: X Factor 2013 Auditions
