The X Factor announced its two new judges today for next season and they are Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio. Who? Rowland was in Destiny’s Child and Rubio is a Latina pop star. There really isn’t much to say about them because there hasn’t been much said about them in general.
I just don’t think Simon Cowell has his finger on the American pulse. He doesn’t get what Mark Burnett gets. He keeps picking hasbeens and/or the other person that no one cares about. While The Voice picks current stars that we care about. It’s almost like Cowell is just copying The Voice with the lesser version of the NBC show’s mentors, Voice got Xtina he got Britney, Voice got Shakira he got Paulina.
If he is thinking these two new hires will get him the big ratings he thought he could get with the show, he is sadly mistaken. How long will Fox let this show go on? If Fox were smart, they would cancel The X Factor and bring Simon back to Idol. But that is just me.
