Simon Cowell Wants Eminem To Be X Factor Judge

Simon Cowell says he's interested in drafting in Eminem as a guest judge on The X Factor.

Last week Em – real name Marshall Mathers – offered his services to Cowell after complaining that there's a lack of talent on the UK 'talent' show.

He told The Sun at the time: "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."

Now, Cowell has responded to Eminem's offer with open arms, saying: “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.”
