Iggy Azalea Replaces Dannii Minogue on 'The X Factor'

Iggy Azalea is the new judge of "The X Factor Australia." She replaces Danii Minogue on the panel.

The 26-year-old rapper said she was initially not sure about joining the show. She said (via Daily Telegraph):

"I really didn’t picture myself being a judge on any kind of television show but I think that actually this could be a good fit for me, so I said yes. Initially I didn’t know but then I thought it would be good to come back to Australia and have an opportunity to spend some time there and obviously to see my family, who live in Sydney. So I think it will be a good situation for multiple reasons. I’m really excited and I don’t really know what to expect."

I have high hopes for her on the show actually. Usually someone unexpected (or specially someone people assume will do poorly) turn out the be a great judge.
