Since the shake up at his X-Factor talent show which saw the removal of judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, creator/producer Simon Cowell has been tossing out feelings to potential new judges. When the changes took place it was first rumored that the fiery tongued judge offered pop star Beyonce a massive $500 million 5 year deal to sit in as a judge but those rumors were quickly dismissed. Cowell then approached singer Janet Jackson, but now news has broke that she turned down the offer leaving Cowell and company out in the dust to start from scratch again. Cowell can get new female judges easily, but he is looking for someone who is currently registering high on the celebrity rating chart which is making it difficult, because no one registering high on that chart would want to join a talent search TV show out of fear of being seen as a has been. So to help Simon with his little dilemma we came up with five suggestions we think would be perfect to fill Paula and Nicole's old seats. They don't register high on the ratings chart but they are known.
The country pop singer and song writer is a true musician who can definitely lend some good advice to wannabe singers. She's had many hits and has a huge following and knows a thing or two about making good music.
KELLY ROWLAND:Sure she had a buzz over the summer with her hit "Motivation" which landed her some new fans and boosted her standing as a solo artist. But the truth is since that one hit, Kelly has quickly fallen back into the shadows of her former group mate Beyonce who can't seem to go away, if even to give Kelly some time to shine. As an experienced artist, Kelly's mentoring would definitely be welcomed.
Missy Elliot has been off the scene for some time now due to health reasons. But the singer/rapper/producer/song writer is a force to be reckoned with in the music business. She knows talent when she hears and sees it and she can definitely help Simon find the next big X-Factor star.
OK, so Adele registers high on the ratings scale, especially after her clean up act at the Grammys. But she is about to take some time off from making music to focus on her relationship. But that can get boring really quick and Adele should definitely do something to at least keep her name in the game. She would be a great addition to the X-Factor judges table and she would bring the viewers as well.
Toni's younger sister is a huge reality TV star who is also trying to break into the music business as a solo act. She has a massive following thanks to her bubbly animated personality and she is married to one of the most powerful men in the music business Vince Herbert. Tamar knows what she wants and won't hold back to tell it like it is to Simon or even a contestant who isn't pleasuring her ears. She would definitely bring that life the show lacked in its first season.
