The X-Factor
"American Idol" eat your heart out! The new FOX show; "The X-Factor" is coming soon. The show features Simon Cowell formerly of "American Idol" fame. While the show is still undergoing its potential contestants and judges; the mystery as to who the judges are continues to boggle us all.
Since the inception of the show here in the states; literally every famous name has been attached to the show. Its similar to the bid for who was to take Paula Abdul's place as well as Simon's and Kara's and Ellen's for "American Idol".
Here is the list of celebrity judges who are attached or have been rumored to the new "The X-Factor" show. Check it out!
L.A. Reid
The former head honcho of Island Def Jam has been the first confirmed name attached to the show. It is a sure bet to have someone as experienced as Reid since he's been in the business for over 20 years. He's spearheaded the careers of everyone from Pink to Mariah Carey; that's saying a lot.
Nicki Minaj
While she is sure to attract a younger demographic; I don't think Nicki would make the best judge unless their going for an "America's Best Dance Crew" themed reality TV show. Then again I don't really know much about "The X-Factor" and its similarities to "American Idol" which is a singing competition.
Mariah Carey
She has been named as a "mentor" judge who would make frequent appearances but not weekly appearances; that's the rumor. I mean it sounds nice and all but I think Mariah would be focusing on her children. Then again I read that she is or was working on new music; so when she does give birth; she might be ready to work again right away anyway.
Paula Abdul
I would love for Paula Abdul to be a judge again alongside Simon since they have that undeniable chemistry and Paula joining "Factor" has been a big rumor all the while.
I'm forgetting who else has been mentioned but I know there were a few other celebs. I'm not sure when the "Factor" will air but be on the look out for it very soon.
