American crooner Kelly Rowland and Latin singer Paulina Rubio will join Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell in the judge's panel of the US reality show "The X Factor".

This is the third season of the show. The previous seasons saw Britney Spears and Keith Urban along with Lovato. It is expected to go on air in September this year and will be beamed in India on BIG CBS LOVE.

"It's taken more than a decade but I'm delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!). Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different," Cowell said in a statement.

Rowland, former member of Destiny's Child, is excited.

"I am very excited to be reuniting with Simon Cowell and 'The X Factor' family. It feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the States," Rowland said.

In the last season, singer Tate Stevens was crowned the winner.
