Now they say the wisest of them all is the one with the greatest depth and range of experience and I guess Gladys Knight is a difficult one to beat in that department with such a long and successful career.

Singing judges on Apollo Live now includes Gladys Knight
Move over Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez, a veteran singing diva is joining the ranks of judges on reality TV: Gladys Knight.
BET’s sister network Centric announced Wednesday that Knight will work as the “lead judge” on “Apollo Live.” The new series is a singing competition at New York’s famed Apollo Theater and puts a new spin on the venue’s popular “Amateur Night” showcase. It will debut in the fall.
And who else is going to appear on the show too.
Knight joins previously announced judges Doug E. Fresh and Michael Bivins of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe.
“Apollo Live” is executive produced by Jamie Foxx. Comedian-actor Tony Rock will host the show.
Centric said the series’ winner will take home a cash prize.
Here’s one of her classic tracks. Lets hope the stage is filled with talent.

I want Gladys. Not seen the Apollo thing but Gladys is such a long standing hero of mine. Just love her. Can’t see the show being as good as Idol though.
