Only days after being announced as one of Britain’s new “X Factor” judges, Kelly Rowland got right into the swing of things. The “Motivation” singer, flaunting her toned body in a yellow top and black skirt, appeared at the first round of auditions for the singing competition at LG Arena in Birmingham, England, on Wednesday (June 1).

“Being a judge is never easy, but I promise to be as sternly honest as I can and also encourage everyone who crosses the stage,” said Kelly. “I can’t wait to meet the world’s next superstar!”
