Simon Cowell Says Eminem is Welcome as Judge on X Factor
Earlier this week Eminem said he would make a good panelist on UK's talent show "X Factor," and that the show needs someone like him as a judge. He explained:
"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."
Music guru Simon Cowell seems to be all for having Eminem on the show.
"It would be great to have him on as a guest judge. Em - I call him that because we are on first name terms - the job is yours."
But Simon has made it clear that he's not making any changes to the current lineup of judges, saying, "I'm not getting rid of anyone."
Eminem also added that he would take a leaf out of Simon's book when judging: "Simon tells it like it is and I am down with that. If somebody ain't good enough they ain't good enough."
