Simon Cowell’s “X Factor” is back at full
capacity.
As reports suggested, Kelly Rowland
and Paulina Rubio are the Fox
competition’s two new judges. Rubio
and Rowland will team up with Cowell
and returning judge Demi Lovato when
“X Factor” begins its third season this
fall.
“It’s taken more than a decade, but I’m
delighted to finally be on a panel with
three girls (I think!),” Cowell said in a
statement. “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.”
Singer Rowland, who came to fame as
part of Destiny’s Child and has since
broken out into a solo career, has
previously judged the U.K. version of “X
Factor” and said “it feels great to be
able to take this journey here at home
in the States!”
Mexican singer/actress Rubio, who’s
previously participated in Mexico’s
edition of “The Voice,” said she’s
“thrilled” to tackle the U.S. competition
on “X Factor.”
“I love ‘The X Factor’!” Rubio said in a
statement. “I can’t wait to find the next
big music star here in America … Simon,
be careful what you wish for, let’s see if
you are ready to handle me, empieza la
fiesta, amigo!”
Rowland and Rubio replace prior judges
L.A. Reid and Britney Spears, who
departed the show after its second
season.
