Aretha Franklin reveals interest in X Factor judging role
Soul legend doesn't understand why she hasn't already been invited to join the show
Aretha Franklin says she should be chosen to be an X Factor TV judge.
The Queen of Soul talked about the talent shows and said: “I would love to be a judge on one of those shows.”
She went on to say that she is surprised that more iconic stars aren’t chosen.
The 70-year-old singer said in an interview with The Chicago Sun Times:” I don’t understand why singers like myself, Gladys [Knight], Natalie [Cole] and Patti [LaBelle] can’t be judges. We never get a call. I don’t understand it.
“I watch those shows from time to time. Some of the talent is very good. Some of it is fun. And some of it is really wild.”
Aretha is currently performing and preparing for a concert in Chicago on June 30.
