With both L.A. Reid and Brittney Spears gone from “The X Factor” judges table, Simon Cowell is now left to search for qualified stars to fill those spots. 

  But who could possibly fill such huge seats??  Could the hot R&B singer Ne-Yo fill one of these seats??

“Extra’s” Mario Lopez caught up with Ne-Yo on the 2013 Grammys red carpet, where the R&B singer dished on possibly joining the next season of the “The X Factor” as a judge.

Ne-Yo said, “I think it would be a great, great thing, I don’t want to talk to much about it, because I don’t want to get in no trouble… conversations have been had, but that’s about it.” He added, “If it happens, I’d be more then willing to do so. I feel like I’ve been around long enough to have some vital information for someone on the way up, definitely.”

The Grammy winner is for sure qualified to make the cut!
