SIMON COWELL wants PAULA ABDUL and CHERYL COLE to be on the judge’s panel of The X FACTOR! It looks like Cowell has finally made up his mind about his judges for his US Version of The X Factor; which debuts this fall on Fox.
Cowell told Deadline.com all about how he’s been assembling his judge’s panel.
“First of all, it’s like casting a dinner party. You’ve got to have people on the panel you get on well with.” Cowell has made it clear that he has finally decided on his judging panel.
Hallelujah!
His number one choice is to bring back Paula Abdul! Cowell wants to bring back his old American Idol co-star to sit alongside him and the confirmed judge; Antonio “L.A.” Reid. Cowell also wants Cheryl Cole to be one of the judges. Cole is one of the judges on the British Version of The X Factor.
Didn’t we figure this one out a long time ago?
It’s not yet a done deal as negotiations have yet to be completed.
Simon said, “I’ve always wanted Paula. Always been very vocal about that. I missed her the second she left the show. Always loved working with her even though she can be a pain. And I’ve been consistent about this. I don’t know what it is about her, but I’ve always clicked with her. You just have to get that chemistry, and she’s right. I’ve never found anyone better than her. I think there’s a good chance it will be her. We’ve agreed that we would meet as many people as possible, and now we’re reaching the deadline we’ve got to make the decision soon. But I think she’s got a really good shot.”
I think as long as Simon wants.. It’s pretty much a done deal. Do you think Paula and Cheryl are great choices? I missed Paula, the minute she left Idol too. Would love to see Paula as a judge on the new show, wouldn’t you?
