And Finally
Rowland to join X-Factor
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 23 May 2011
One time Destiny’s Child-er Kelly Rowland will replace Dannii Minogue on that ‘X-Factor’ thing you kids like to watch, according to various tabloid reports.
Minogue, of course, recently announced she too would be leaving the ‘X’ judging panel because the ITV talent show’s filming schedule clashed with her commitments on ‘Australia’s Got Talent’. Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell have already stepped down from ‘X-UK’ because of their commitments to the new US version of the programme.
According to the Mirror, Cole was seen berating Cowell backstage on ‘X-USA’ this weekend for not doing more to pressure ITV to reschedule filming to accommodate Minogue. The tab says she fears that with three new judges now required for the UK version of the talent flim flam it might not succeed.
Kelly Rowland is likely to join Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh as a judge on the UK ‘X-Factor’. My expert suggestion of Steve Brookstein, Michele McManus and Joe McElderry as the new judges was seemingly rejected.
