American Rap star Eminem has revealed that he wants to be an X Factor judge and he believes that Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue aren’t qualified for the role. Finally, a man who speaks the truth!

Eminem, (or the real Slim Shady as we like to call him), told The Sun: “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 continued that if he and his mentor Dr Dre were on the show, he would find platinum selling artists, rather than the average acts it normally produces.

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.”

Although Eminem couldn’t commit to the role full time, he said that if Simon Cowell asked, he would be happy to mentor the contestants part time.

“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.”
