The ‘X Factor’ season 3 auditions are underway and we’re got the first photo of the judging panelists who will decide the fate of a new group of talent.
Simon Cowell will be the lone male at the table with Latin singer Paulina Rubio, returning judge Demi Lovato, and former Destiny’s Child performer Kelly Rowland rounding out the lopsided mix.
Cowell kicked things off by telling those assembled at North Charleston Coliseum, “Is it a coincidence that when I arrive everything gets better?”
Producer auditions were held over the past three months and now it is the judges turn to scrutinize the wannabes. The first venue is a two-day event in South Carolina that began on Tuesday.
From there the judges will travel to New Orleans June 11-12, Long Island June 19-21, Denver June 30-July 2 and Los Angeles July 10-12 to take a second look at performers who stood out during the producers round.
