It’s official: Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio have been announced as new “X Factor” judges for season three.
The singers will sit on the panel alongside Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato.
Cowell said in a statement on Monday night, “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,” the show’s creator added.
