Paulina Susana Rubio Dosamantes (born 17 June 1971), generally known as Paulina Rubio, is a Mexican singer, actress, hostess, model and businesswoman. She is known in Mexico and Latin America as an original member of the pop group Timbiriche from 1984 through 1991. Her debut album, La Chica Dorada (1992) was released under EMI Music, followed by 24 Kilates (1993). Her follow-up albums, El tiempo Es Oro (1995) and Planeta Paulina (1996) helped Rubio become better known in Latin America. Rubio's departure from EMI Music happened in the same year due to personal conflicts with the label.
With her new label, Universal Music, she released her sixth studio album Paulina (2000) and her crossover album Border Girl (2002), both had commercial success in Latin America and Europe; the first of these was nominated and won many awards. According to Billboard, Paulina was the best selling Latin album in the United States in 2001, selling 2 million copies worldwide. Paulina has sold over 4 million copies. Her follow-up albums, Pau-Latina (2004) and Ananda (2006) consolidated Rubio internationally as one of the most successful Mexican superstars in the world. Her ninth album, Gran City Pop (2009) had a fresh and original concept, and focused in vision, to reflect Paulina's life and musical experiences she had while traveling the world. Rubio's latest album to date, Brava! (2011), focuses in electronic genres.
Paulina Rubio has sold over 20 million records around the world, and is considered one of the most influential Latin celebrities in the world. According to E! Entertainment, the singer reached number twelve on the 25 Sexiest Pop Divas.

Ananda spawned only three official singles, giving Paulina her third number one single on Latin radio in the U.S.: “Ni Una Sola Palabra”. Even more, Paulina received several awards for this song’s success and “Ni Una Sola Palabra” was certified platinum in Spain. Upon its release, Ananda was number one in sales in Mexico as well as in the US on Billboard’s Latin Albums chart. Although a video featuring footage from Paulina’s Love, Light and Sound tour of “Que Me Voy a Quedar” was filtered on the Internet, it was never released as an official single. With the exception of “Ni Una Sola Palabra”, other singles from the album like "Ayúdame" and "Nada Puede Cambiarme" did not fare as well as Pau-Latina.

I know I can, I was just asking to lurk and see any X Factor updates since there isn't any here and the official X factor thread in the celebria section are getting updates of Kelly and Demi mostly
Though I think it's better this way since everything will be new to us in September. I remember we already knew everything about Britney in the auditions rounds before the shoe even started so the auditions were pretty meh to me
