The Sun (always a reliable source) revealed today that Hip Hop mega-star Eminem wants to be a judge on the X Factor. He is quoted as saying:
“No disrespect to the current judges but you need people who are global, platinum-selling stars. You need to prepare contestants for what it’s really like out there, and what sort of pressure you are going to be under.” “So much average talent comes out of these reality shows, it’s time to give people a chance who deserve it.“A hip-hop star will never win a show like The X Factor without somebody like me on the panel.”
“There are a lot of very talented hip-hop stars who would kill for a break in Britain but the judges aren’t qualified in hip-hop.”I keep my eye on the urban scene in Britain and there is a lot of talent out there. It needs somebody in power to open a door for them.”
It’s great to see that Eminem is aware of the UK Urban Music scene to that extent and I personally think that Eminem would make a great X Factor judge - considering his scathing judgements on pop artists in the past, I think his comments would actually overshadow Simon Cowell’s. And if he was a judge on the show, at least Jedward would not have gotten away with those dreadful raps for so many weeks and Miss Frank might still be in the competition! Lets hope this one happens!
