Rihanna recently let the cat out the bag that she was tapped to be one of the panelists for Simon Cowell’s U.S. edition of X Factor.
She tells radio host Ryan Seacrest, “Yes, it’s something that I would have loved to do, actually. But our schedule doesn’t allow. We’re gonna be on tour for the rest of the year and it’s a demanding schedule to be on that show. You have to kind of be around for a long time, months at a time, which is impossible for me… I’ll be on tour for the rest of the year.”
Currently, music mogul Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid is already confirmed, while high-profile names including Jessica Simpson and Nicole Scherzinger are said to be in talks for slots.
Would Rihanna make a good judge?
It looks like Rihanna won’t be appearing on the X-Factor this year, and she’s not happy about it. The ‘Umbrella’ singer was supposed to appear as a judge on the show, but scheduling conflicts have put her appearance in jeopardy. Fans of both Rihanna and the X factor are disappointed by the news that their idol may no longer take part in one of Britain’s most popular talent shows.
Rihanna has been vocal about her desire to join Simon Cowell and other judges at the X Factor judging table. After months of negotiations with television executives, she seemed sure that everything would work out and she could finally make her long awaited debut. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, it now seems unlikely that Rihanna will get the chance to show off her remarkable talents as an artist and mentor on the program.
The disappointment among fans is palpable, yet there still remains hope that something can be worked out so they can see their favorite star shine on stage alongside some of music’s biggest names. For now though all we can do is speculate whether or not Rihanna will ever grace us with her presence on our screens for X Factor audiences around the world.
Background Information
Background Information:
Rihanna has been vocal in her disappointment over the scheduling conflict between X Factor and her own tour dates. She had planned to perform at the show, but due to conflicting commitments was unable to attend. This news came as a huge blow to both Rihanna’s fans and X Factor producers alike.
The conflict arose when X Factor announced their new season on June 5th of this year. However, they failed to take into account that Rihanna would be embarking on a world tour during October and November of 2018 – exactly when the competition is set to air its live shows. As a result, she won’t be able to appear as a performer or mentor for any part of it.
This unfortunate situation has caused understandable frustration from many parties involved; most notably from Rihanna herself who took to Twitter expressing her regret about not being able to participate in the show. Meanwhile, X Factor bosses have also expressed their dismay at not having such an iconic musician on board for the next season.
Outcome Of Scheduling Conflict
The outcome of the scheduling conflict between Rihanna and X Factor is still uncertain. While it’s clear that she won’t be able to perform on or mentor for the show, there are rumors circulating that other arrangements could be made in order to make up for her absence. For instance, some sources have speculated that she may appear as a guest judge for one or two episodes instead.
At this point, only time will tell what will happen with regards to the situation at hand. Both parties involved seem determined to find an amicable solution but so far nothing has been confirmed yet. It’s possible that the issue will simply resolve itself naturally if either side opts not to pursue any further negotiations – though given their respective statuses this seems unlikely.
Ultimately, whether they come to an agreement or not remains unknown until further notice. As such, fans of both Rihanna and X Factor alike must wait patiently until more information is released regarding the matter.
