Here it is – the new judging panel for the third season of The X Factor. Taking over for Britney Spears and LA Reid on this upcoming season of the Fox series are Kelly Rowland (best known as part of Destiny’s Child) and Paulina Rubio.

Will fans of singing competitions continue to tune in with this new panel in place? How will Simon Cowell handle being the lone male voice amongst the judges? The answers to these questions won’t be known until The X Factor‘s season three premieres later this year.

Until then, take a look at these just-released pictures of the new The X Factor judges.
