FremantleMedia Asia today announced a judging panel including Paula Abdul, Louis Walsh, Daniel Bedingfield, Anggun and Ahmed Dahni who have been selected to appear in the world-first X Factor Around the World.
Paula Abdul, Louis Walsh, Daniel Bedingfield and Anggun have all flown in to Jakarta for this Indonesian television spectacular.
X Factor Around The World is a special event celebrating the incredible success of season one of X Factor Indonesia and broadcaster RCTI’s 24th birthday. For the first time ever, winners and runners up from X Factor’s global family will perform before the judging panel.
While non-competitive and celebratory in tone, the amazing guest acts will be introduced and commented on by our celebrity mentors from across the globe.
The show will feature appearances by Australian Samantha Jade, who won the fourth series of X Factor Australia, and The Collective, an Australian boy band who were formed during the fourth series of X Factor Australia in 2012 and finished in third place. Also taking to the stage will be Melanie Amaro, the winner of X Factor USA Season 1, and Jahmene Douglas, Runner Up from X Factor UK Season 9.
“This is the first time we have had an international judging panel for an Asian program, which is a massive coup for us,” FremantleMedia Asia Managing Director, Paul O’Hanlon, said.
