Following a position on the UK edition, Kelly Rowland will be sharing her opinions and advise officially as a judge on the next season of the U.S. edition of “The X Factor.”
Fox announced today that Kelly will join the singing competition when it returns for its third season this fall. She will grab a seat alongside returning judges Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato, along with Latina pop star Paulina Rubio.
“I am very excited to be reuniting with Simon Cowell and ‘The X Factor’ family,” said the Destiny’s Child diva, who was previously a judge on the show’s U.K. edition. “It feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the States!”
Simon Cowell added, “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.”
In addition to her new gig, Kelly will hit the road with The-Dream on the “Lights Out” tour starting May 23 and release her fourth solo album Talk A Good Game on June 18.
