Posted May 20, 201114 yr American singer Kelly Rowland confirmed as new judge on The X Factor American pop star Kelly Rowland is to join hit TV show the X Factor. The singer, 30, is expected to be formally announced as joining the show as a new judge in the coming days. The decision comes just day after Dannii Minogue surprisingly left the hugely popular ITV series. Today, Miss Rowland expressed her excitement at joining the show. She said: ‘The X Factor is an amazing show. I love Simon [Cowell] because he’s so honest. Everything he says I agree with. I don’t know what kind of judge I’ll be.’ Miss Rowland will be the third newcomer joining the panel when the programme returns later this year Take That star Gary Barlow has already been confirmed to appear in the series. And Tulisa Constavolos – from pop band N-Dubz – is also due to be announced. They will join Louis Walsh, a long-running judge on the programme. The revamp comes after both Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell decided to leave the UK version of the programme to launch the US show. Miss Rowland has enjoyed a hugely successful pop career in the past, both as part of band and as a solo artist. She was one third of US group Destiny’s Child. Her two band-mates were Beyonce Knowles - who has gone on to become one of the world’s biggest female stars - and Michelle Williams http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...UK-version.html Good for her ^_^
May 20, 201114 yr Aah brilliant! From tv shows I've seen her on she's got a brilliant personality and completely gets the English humour, which many people from the US don't. Hope it means her music career will take off big-time here too!
May 20, 201114 yr Yeah, I dont think we could really count this as being official confirmation just yet either. It's only really the last line of the quote that's relevant and it could definatly be taken out of context. I do think she'd be fairly brilliant at it though, or at least better than whatsherface from N-Dubz.
May 20, 201114 yr I really hope this is true, she'd be a fantastic judge imo. This could really bode well for the album release over here, but it could hinder the success in the US which is what she's been working so hard on for all this time. Hopefully she'll be able to fly back during the shows to do promo over in the States.
May 20, 201114 yr Her and Tulisa will make BRILLIANT judges I reckon. I honestly can't wait to see her as a judge and see her perform 'Rose Colored Glasses' on there :wub: Wishful thinking. I Know! :drama:

I Know! :drama: Speaking of RCG, can someone send me a good quality mp3? I lost mine :( Glad she is a judge, I may tune in to see her :D
May 31, 201114 yr Congrats to her. She's had a long time in the biz despite her solo work often questioned. The UK love her anyway as she has the most success here. Good luck to her. She's likeable from what i have seen of her. She will be the Danni of the bunch i think in how she judges.
June 1, 201114 yr First day of auditions today: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/06/01/article-1393069-0C5BBE9B00000578-47_306x817.jpghttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/06/01/article-1393069-0C5BD26A00000578-278_306x723.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/06/01/article-1393069-0C5B8F7900000578-808_306x792.jpghttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/06/01/article-1393069-0C5BD6CB00000578-561_306x441.jpg I love that last photo - she looks like she's going to have a genuinely good time on the show! Edited June 1, 201114 yr by THEO.
June 1, 201114 yr She looks so amazing, and I agree she does look she's really loving it! I can't wait for this series now, especially for the live shows when Kelly will blatantly perform!
June 12, 201114 yr Manchester Auditions: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pGyznGeZoMo/TfTZ4qLaxcI/AAAAAAAACXk/mk4mSOEGKog/s1600/X-Factor-judges-arrive-for-Manchester-auditions.jpg
June 12, 201114 yr She's been dressing pretty tackily for the auditions so far... of course she'll look like Dannii Minogue in the style stakes sat next to Tulisa on the panel.
June 15, 201114 yr Beyoncé is rumoured to be with Kelly at the Judge's Houses: Beyoncé will apparently help Kelly Rowland mentor contestants on The X Factor. According to Heat magazine, Queen B has signed up to act as Kelly's aide at the Judges' Houses stage of the competition. Knowles, who starred alongside Rowland in Destiny's Child, will help the "Commander" singer pick her top three hopefuls to then battle it out in the live finals of the talent show. It is currently unknown who Kelly's fellow panelists - Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos - will be joined by at Judges' Houses but now Bey is allegedly confirmed, we are not sure Dappy is going to make the cut!http://www.mtv.co.uk/artists/beyonce/news/...-destinys-child
June 15, 201114 yr GREAT. Shouldn't she worry about promoting her flop record instead of using her more popular bandmate to gain exposure? :D
