No more rumors. It's official. Kelly Rowland is an "X Factor USA" judge and mentor!
FOX and Rowland confirmed the anticipated deal for season three Monday night, making a little history at the same time.
"I am very excited to be reuniting with Simon Cowell and THE X FACTOR family. It feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the states," Rowland said in an official statement.
For the first time, "X Factor USA" will feature a near all-female panel, with Simon Cowell being the only male judge.
"Simon Cowell will be surrounded by women when THE X FACTOR returns for its third season this fall on FOX. Grammy Award-winning artist Kelly Rowland and international pop star Paulina Rubio join him and Demi Lovato as judges on the hit singing competition series," reports FOX.
Despite being outnumbered, Simon Cowell believes in this panel, including Kelly Rowland.
"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," said Cowell.
All four judges will be hitting the road this week, making stops in North Carolina and other states, looking for the next "X Factor" star.
"X Factor USA" returns Fall 2013 on FOX.
Kelly Rowland has just confirmed that she will be joining the judging panel for X Factor USA, and it’s certainly exciting news! The Grammy Award-winner is no stranger to reality TV – having been a judge on both ‘The Voice Kids UK’ and Australia’s version of ‘The Voice’ in 2019. But this time around, fans are getting an extra special treat as Kelly takes her seat alongside Simon Cowell in one of America’s most popular music competitions.
Rowland revealed that she was looking forward to being part of the show and couldn’t wait to get started. She said: “It feels great! I’m so excited about the opportunity and grateful to have been asked”. This won’t be her first experience on the show either; Kelly previously served as guest mentor during season two back in 2012, offering contestants valuable advice based on her own successful career.
With over 20 years experience in the music industry under her belt, we can expect plenty of wisdom from Rowland when it comes to critiquing performances. Her enthusiasm for the project only serves to make us more eager to see what she brings – can you feel the anticipation already?
Kelly Rowland’s New Role
Kelly Rowland is officially joining the cast of X Factor USA as a judge for its upcoming season. The multi-talented singer, songwriter and actress has been confirmed by Fox to be a part of the show alongside music mogul Simon Cowell, record producer L.A Reid and pop star Demi Lovato.
Rowland expressed her excitement at being chosen for this role, saying “It feels great! I’m so excited to join the team on X Factor USA.” She went on to say that she was looking forward to working with such an esteemed group of professionals in the industry and could not wait to get started.
The former Destiny’s Child member joins the judging panel after having previously made guest appearances on other talent shows such as Australia’s Got Talent and Britain’s The Voice UK. With her experience in both performing onstage and critiquing others’ performances, Rowland is sure to bring something unique to the table when it comes to selecting future superstars from auditions across America.
Reactions To The News
Since the news of Rowland’s new role on X Factor USA was announced, fans and critics alike have been buzzing with excitement. Many have praised this decision, citing her impressive background in both singing and television as proof that she is the perfect addition to the judging panel. Her fans are especially eager to see what kind of advice and feedback she can provide for up-and-coming artists.
At the same time, there has also been some criticism directed at Cowell for choosing another female judge after replacing former judge Britney Spears earlier this year. Some claim that he should be focusing more on finding male judges rather than stacking the panel with women.
However, it appears that overall reactions to Kelly joining X Factor USA have been largely positive, leaving many looking forward to seeing how she’ll shape young talent during the show’s upcoming season.
Conclusion
I’m so excited for Kelly Rowland’s new role as a judge on X Factor USA! She seems to be just the kind of person who can bring energy and enthusiasm to the show. I know that she will make an amazing mentor and help contestants reach their full potential with her guidance.
Rowland is clearly proud of this new opportunity, which is evident in her positive reaction. It shows that she is taking it seriously and will do everything possible to give each contestant her best effort. The other judges are lucky to have such an experienced musician by their side.
With Kelly Rowland now officially part of X Factor USA, I’m sure we’ll get some great performances from talented singers throughout the season. This could be one of the most exciting seasons yet and I’m looking forward to seeing what Rowland brings to the table. Here’s hoping everyone has a great time watching!
