Hot Shot: Nicole Scherzinger Poses With New ‘X Factor UK’ Judging Line-Up

 Hot Shot: Nicole Scherzinger Poses With New X Factor UK Judging Line Up

Another year, another judging line-up for Simon Cowell’s X Faxtor UK.

On this occasion, though, we’re all for the latest batch of bottoms who’ll sit at the famed judges table.

Pop diva Nicole Scherzinger leads this year’s panel, which features a returning Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh. TV maven Sharon Osbourne makes a sensational comeback to the show leaving in 2007. The Osbourne matriarch replaces an axed Tulisa, who is having a few issues of her own at the moment. Sniff sniff.

The quad begun shooting the audition phase of the show, which is in its tenth season, today. Look out for The X Factor UK when it returns to screens later this Summer.

Randomness: After a wildly successful run on the show last year, we hope Nicole manages to leverage the exposure against her musical endeavours. The way each year seems to be a case of musical chairs, it’s best that she “get’s it while it hot”.

X marks the spot!

Kelly Rowland and her fellow X Factor USA comrades took front stage center today at the first taping of the FOX show’s new season in Charleston, SC.

Looking like a bag of money and good living, the ‘Dirty Laundry’ singer momentarily stepped in as Head Judge in the absence of Simon Cowell – who was running late due to travel complications. Upon his arrival, she took her seat — next to him.

Weigh In: Have Singing Competition Shows Run Their Course?

Screen shot 2013 03 29 at 6.07.59 AM1 Weigh In:  Have Singing Competition Shows Run Their Course?

American Idol, X Factor, The Voice, Sunday’s Best, Duets, Making the Band, Sing-Off, and Major & Minors are just a few of the recognizable titles of singing competitions that have graced (or disgraced) television over the past decade or so.

With its modern-day format pioneered by the FOX-aired ‘Idol’ to once record ratings (though ‘Live at the Apollo’ is the true grandfather of the genre), the last few years have seen a steadily declining interest in the singing competition themed reality show – despite reigniting interest in some of music’s top stars (see: Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, etc).

Until…NBC’s ‘The Voice’.  But, even with its winning ratings, it has yet to produce a quality star in three seasons:

New Video: Gamu – ‘Shake The Room’

gamu shake the room e1360932742289 New Video: Gamu   Shake The Room

Many will remember Brit singer Gamu for her controversial stint on The X Factor UK‘s 2010 series.

Indeed, who could forget the outrage generated by her sensational axing or the death threats levelled at judge Cheryl Cole for actioning it?! Three years later, we’re sure Gamu will be hoping the answer is “not many”. For, now 21, the Zimbabwe born singer has debuted her first single ‘Shake The Room’ and its accompanying video.

Lifted from her debut album ‘A Love Like This’, the song and parent LP is described as blending the best of the 1960′s Soul with the contemporary kick of today.

Peep the video below and let us know what you think, because we’re still trying to “process” what we just watched. See what we mean below…

With an announcement that comes as a shock to absolutely no one many, ‘Baby One More Time’ hitmaker Britney Spearsconfirms that ‘X Factor USA’ will not be seeing her one more time aboard its judging panel.
