The Weakest Link?
With a resume that includes a "DWTS" mirror bowl
trophy and a recent stint as judge on "The Sing-Off," Nicole Scherzinger certainly knows a
thing or two about reality competition shows. But does her experience there and
her comparatively modest success (compared ... more to Paula, J.Lo and Steven Tyler, at any rate)
as a recording artist (both with the "Pussycat Dolls" and as a solo artist)
stack up against a judging panel already rich with heavyweights?
The answer is more than likely no. Her spot on the panel was originally slotted
to Cheryl Cole (who, like Scherzinger,
was the table's obvious eye candy), but was eventually given to Scherzinger
after a round of heavy speculation. According to some reports (none really
confirmed), producers had concerns about Cole's on-screen chemistry with Paula
and viewers' ability to understand her strong British accent. It would seem
producers should be concerned with Scherzinger's expertise. That is, if you're
an "X Factor" contestant, would you really
want Scherzinger as a mentor over Simon, Paula or L.A. Reid?
