George Michael NewsHere is the LA Times review: First look (and listen): George Michael’s ‘Faith’ gets the deluxe reissue treatment
(Okay, I just want to know why some of the fan sites can’t get these free copies way ahead of schedule and review them! I’d promote it far more if I had it ahead of time. Sorry, everyone, it just doesn’t make sense to me!)
According to the Daily Star, Simon Cowell has approached George Michael to be a judge on the U.S. version of X Factor, which premieres next September.
A source close to the music mogul said George would be ideal as he has a high profile in both the States and Britain.
He added: “Simon has always been a huge fan of George’s.
“His knowledge of the music industry is immense and he would be the perfect mentor for any up-and-coming artist.”
George could join UK judge Cheryl Cole, 27, on the show.
Speaking this week, Simon said: “I won’t be announcing the US X Factor line-up until January.
“No contracts have been signed yet. We are still in the discussion stages.”
