Rita Ora for The X Factor USA judging role?

Posted on Oct 3 2013 - 9:14am by Anne Smith

Rita Ora has been linked to a judging spot on The X Factor USA after meeting Simon Cowell for a “business meeting”.

The ‘Hot Right Now’ singer has previously turned down a spot on the British panel because of her commitments to her second album, but Cowell is thought to want her on the next series of his talent show in the US – if it gets green-lit for another year.

Insiders have told The Mirror that she met up with Simon at his mansion – prompting speculation that she could have changed her mind.

She had previously said:

“There were talks. But if I were to take on that role it would have to be at a point when I could give it my full attention.

“I have so much to accomplish first and it’s kind of a full-time job being on X Factor. It’s not like a nine to five. It’s constant, for months. I love it but if I was to take on a full-time role it would be at a point when I’m loads of albums in.”

She previously had a guest stint in 2012 before Nicole Scherzinger was hired as a permanent new arrival.
