EMINEM has come forward to offer his services as an X Factor judge. I'm surprised to hear he is even a fan of the British show. But he's deadly serious, and has made the offer to SIMON COWELL and the nation. Bring it on...The rap titan believes current judges CHERYL COLE, DANNII MINOGUE and LOUIS WALSH don't have enough experience for the job.
Eminem, real name MARSHALL MATHERSIII, 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."
He said he'd "guarantee" finding a platinum-selling star if he and his producer pal DR DRE each had a guest slot as judges.
He continued: "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."
Let's face it, even some of the mentors on X Factor have been a bit lacking over the past few years.
EMMA BUNTON, WILL YOUNG and KIMBERLEY WALSH - nice folks though they are - didn't set the world alight with their contributions, so EMINEM's offer to be a guest judge next year is very exciting.The wordsmith, famous for hits including Stan and My Name Is, said he would happily tell contestants if they don't have what it takes. He added: "I am not sure I would have the time to do it full-time, but I would come and be a guest judge.
"Simon tells it like it is and I am down with that. If somebody ain't good enough they ain't good enough."
Simon - the gauntlet has been thrown down. Eminem, or not? Surely it must be yes. - thesun
