Kelly Rowland: It would be 'awesome' to judge U.S. 'X Factor'

Simon Cowell has said that Beyonce isn't being offered $100 million to join a vacant seat on "The X Factor," but could he consider Beyonce's former groupmate, Kelly Rowland?

After all, the singer has plenty of experience, as she's served as a judge on the "X Factor" in the U.K.

Rowland, who turns 31 Saturday, says "it would be awesome to be a judge over here for 'X Factor.' I really enjoyed my time over in the U.K. being a judge."

She continued, "That was a great opportunity and a great experience, and I would love to do it again."

So what say you, Cowell? And what about you - do think the former Destiny's Child singer would be a good fit with Cowell and L.A. Reid, now that Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger are off the show?

At least she can kinda do something that resembles singing, unlike Paula Abdul.

Kelly Rowland would be a fantastic judge on the U.S. X Factor ! As a bonus, she could finally perform "Unity" live on the program ~ Kelly's best song ever !
