Now here’s a headline I never thought I’d write… but it looks as though Eminem fancies his chances as an X Factor judge on next year’s show.
Apparently the rapper has contact Simon Cowell and offered his services because he feels that Dannii Minogue or Cheryl Cole don’t have enough experience to do the job properly, and he's more than willing to take their place.
Speaking to The Sun he said; "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."
What’s more he guaranteed finding a platinum-selling star if he and celebrity best mate Dr Dre were given a guest slot as judges; "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."
So, do YOU think Eminem would make a good judge or are you worried that the final would be too much like 8 Mile?
