Kelly Rowland Lands UK X-factor Gig


The Ultimate Girlband fight off went down this week in the form of US vs UK as former Pussycat Doll front woman Nicole Scherzinger replaced Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole from the American X-factor and now former Destiny's Child and dance legend Kelly Rowland has taken her spot on this side of the pond too. Cheryl must be livid! No place to go but into the arms of now manager Will I Am who will probably replace her with a Cyberman version of the Geordie lass.

Kelly Rowland on the other hand, will be on top of the world having recently secured the number one spot with new RnB hit 'Motivation' on Billboard's 100 ready to jet off to the UK to begin filming the audition process.

Rowland went on record to say how excited she is about joining the show expressing her love for the UK and the acts produced here to whom she named Adele and Jessie J as such talent. On speaking about the role itself, the Commander singer said it wouldn't be easy but she hoped to be able to bring elements of both honesty and encouragement to 2011's X-factor hopefulls.

Personally Kelly is a perfect addition to the UK panel working in the industry well over ten years now showing to be a true star performer in one of the world's most successful girl-groups of all time, even managing to pave a stand-up solo career as a result.

Rowland joins Take That creative genius Gary Barlow, Boyzone/Westlife/Jedward leech Louis Walsh and the not so impressive Tulisa of N-Dubz fame. (Worst choice for a judge ever!) UK X-factor hits screens this Summer.

Check out Kelly's stunning rendition of her David Guetta produced 2010 hit 'Commander' live on GMTV last year.
