Hot Shot: Jennifer Hudson Helps Kelly Rowland On ‘X Factor’

Published: Sunday 11th Sep 2011 by Sam

While Kelly Rowland continues to dazzle during the auditions phase of the X Factor UK, ‘real-time’ has seen the Destiny’s Child alumni shooting the Judges Houses segment of the show.

And while speculation had been rife as to who the 30 year old would enlist to assist her, it has today been confirmed that Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is the surprise name.

The ‘Spotlight’ singer shot her scenes, which saw Kelly’s category whittled down for the live shows, at Rowland’s Miami home yesterday. {Source}

——————–

While Ms. Hudson is certainly a coup for the show, it’s a shame that gone (seemingly) are the days when producers would allow judges to bring their own assistance (i.e. Danni-Kylie). For, like many, yours truly anticipated Beyonce or Michelle or someone with a legit connection. Still, ratings are ratings, and based on public response, winning is winning – the latter being what Kelly and this new panel are clearly doing.

Your thoughts?

    I thought she was gonna choose Brandy since she’s her best friend

  2. SerferTJ September 11, 2011

    Jennifer Hudson’s a GREAT choice!!! 😀
    Especially because she came from a talent show herself. This could be a good pair!

    Although, I was secretly hoping that Brandy would be at the judges house with Kelly… lol

  3. PEACE OF WEAVE September 11, 2011

    Jennifer Hudson…wooo I’m so exited my weave has fallen out -___-

    I’m greatly disappointed.

    PEACE OF WEAVE HAS SPOKEN.

    @LALA you beat me to it,,, thats exactly what i was going to say..lol.. brandy is a dope judge/mentor like she will demonstrate once again on Majors and Minors on HUB america.

    Did kelly get to choose? Im sure she would have considered brandy

  5. therealest September 11, 2011

    oh COME ON now. You cannot possibly think Bey would have played ‘side’ part to Rowlands judge role? Never ever.

    Michelle…well she aint no Jen Hud is she?

    They definitely scored a coup with these two….I mean these are genuine stars….VS TULISA. I mean Damn. Who is she gna have? Her local bin man?

  6. Beystanbish September 11, 2011

    What advice are they giving when they can’t even sell records? I kid I kid lmfao

  7. Kelly-Bee11 September 11, 2011

    It wasnt Kelly’s real choice !!!!!!! Obviously. Get real

  8. Kelly-Bee11 September 11, 2011

    Kelly would never have really chosen Jennifer, who not only swept the S** and the City movie role from her, but has now taken her precious magic producer David Guetta! Kelly would’ve chose even Michelle over her, if it were her true option

  9. OsO September 11, 2011

    Jennifer looks HOTTT these days…
    love her.

  10. HLOVE September 11, 2011

    USHER was Kelly first choice but he had to cancel at the last minute…

  11. ojie king September 11, 2011

    I guess Jennifer is a good choice, but I would and i’m sure many people as well would have liked to have seen BEYONCE!!! maybe next year then!!! or on the live shows

  12. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) September 11, 2011

    Two h*** who need to focus on their music and should check their sales to know their actual place in the industry!!
    They don’t need to give advice to anyone ! They need an advice themselves !

  13. NikkiIsChillin September 11, 2011

    I think JenHud is a good choice. I’m sure it will be a great episode. Team Kelly!!!

  14. GRAPEFERUIT JUICE September 11, 2011

    Some ppl r deliberately chosen for a cunning reason. Many would feel that Kelly should choose that one person uhmmm. NOT! Jenny gets it just like she got the Oscar. Thank u Kelly. Great choice.

  15. jojo September 11, 2011

    LALA i was gonna say the same thing!!! Why didnt she choose Brandy??? thats one of her best friends, Bran would be a great mentor, and Kelly is aware of the impact Bran has made on music and the many vocalist she has inspired including Kel….maybe the producers had something to do with that…

  16. …………………………………… September 11, 2011

    JHud is the perfect choice to help mentor Kelly’s picks bcuz she was on a show just like them American Idol! Great choice Kelly!

  17. Dave September 11, 2011

    Jennifer was a great choice, sit down.

  18. nice_gurl September 11, 2011

    JHud is a great choice because she has similarities with the contestants because she was on American Idol. She’s also a great vocalist.

    Also Bey will be mentoring on Australian X Factor this week or next week (but it was filmed a while back).

  19. Jasmine September 11, 2011

    Why is Jennifer not touring?

  20. colddiva September 11, 2011

    Both ladies looks great but why doesit look like Jennifer is so uncomfortable? She is not looking ata Kelly at all. Kelly’s home looks so peaceful in white.

  21. colddiva September 11, 2011

    Both ladies looks great, but why does it look like JHud is so uncomfortable? She is not looking at Kelly at all. Maybe someone else is in the room along with them. Kelly’s home looks so peaceful in white.

  22. muni September 12, 2011

    Yeah thats a great choice she knows!!
    AND is Kelly F****** Rowland not Kelly from Destiny’s Child #ThatsAll!!!

  23. muni September 12, 2011

    Haters Jennifer is a Grammy Winner and Oscar Winner OK? while the others like Bey Usher and company will never win an OSCAR!! Stop hating and The only reason Bey doesnt want to be there cos she doesnt want to play 2nd for Kelly #ThatsAll !!!!

  24. JUDAS666 September 12, 2011

    2 FLOPS IN A ROOM! BOTH JHUD AND KELLY CANT SELL S*** ANYMORE. BOTH CANT GO GOLD SOUNDSCAN. JHUD’S OSCAR WAS ONLY FOR HER SINGING. HONESTLY, EDDIE MURPHY DESERVED THE OSCAR FOR DREAM GIRLS. HE DID A FANTASTIC JOB OVER JHUD IN THE ACTING DEPARTMENT. NEXT!

  25. YOOSONDALOOSE September 12, 2011

    Thats not a good choice, as she is not big at all in the UK.
    But hey…

  26. beyknight September 12, 2011

    yeah Usher was who i heard awhile back as well, i would never have thought it’d be Jennifer though her AI experience would come handy mind you that’s cause she ran it’s not responsible for her fame, Dreamgirls

    smh people will always have something to b**** about, what has an Oscar got to do with a singing competition, the reasons why people hate on Bey are the silliest ever

    and for those saying she looks uncomfortable, you do realise it’s a screenshot, they weren’t exactly posing, your lives must be really void cus u literally go out of your way to create drama where there’s none. if they were smiling at each other, you’d say “fake”

  27. CALL ME HATERRRR September 12, 2011

    SOMEBODY SAID IT BEST WHEN THEY SAID ” HOW IN THE HELL THEY GONNA TEACH ANYONE SOMETHING TOGETHER WHEN THEY CANT SELL RECORDS????””””!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT COMMENT

    ENOUGH SAID

  28. Jonathan Gardner September 12, 2011

    Gutted it’s not Michelle – or even Brandy.

    BUT, It’s good that there won’t be that connection between Kelly and DC…so it’s one step further to being known as Kelly Rowland, the singer….not Kelly Rowland, the one from Destiny’s Child.
