Who, amongst those who normally watch it, will not be watching the next lot? Three judges changed, it won't be the same.

Sometimes a change is good, it can give life to an old format

Louis is still there, Gary Barlow and one female singer I didn't know the name of, one still to be found.

I think if Simon got rid of Dannii, the next thing we will hear is that louis has gone

I think Danni is doing an Australian talent show and is annoyed that they wouldn't shift the dates of the British X Factor as she wanted to do it. But they said if she wanted to do it she would have to commute back and fore between shows (25 hour trip). But I also read that theyw anted a fresh start.

I'm not struck on Louis Walsh, but at least if he stays in I can play my 'Spot the Catchphrase Game'

2 points for 'You made this song your own'
3 points for 'You really nailed it'
1 point for each time makes a criticism of another one of the judges.

Think It shouldn`t really matter who the judges are...the show is all about finding new talent.....

Simon will be missed....but in fact Gary Barlow has spent near on 30 of his 40 years in show business.

He started out in the working mens clubs around Manchester playing Keyboard to the audience, and when most lads his age were out with friends or playing football he was holed in his bedroom song writing, practising and dreaming of a future in the Music business... A Million Love songs a Take That no .1 was written when Gary was only about 15...

He has then moved on to be lead singer in the Worlds biggest Boy/Man band, and wrote many of their hits in the early days and now reformed as Take That again writes and composes all their songs alongside all his fellow band mates..

He had a brief Solo career, and had his time when he bowed out of public life before climbing back up to the top with Take That again 5 years ago, as well as writing for other Artists.

If anyone is qualified to sit in that judging panel its Gary Barlow......I think he`s an inspired choice, and will be a really good mentor to this years hopefuls.

Think Tulsa/Tulisa? from Ndubz will appeal to the younger audience...... but i don`t know much about her,.

Rumour has it 3rd new judge will be Kelly Rowland from Destinys Child......

I always thought Dannii was a very good judge, and though not as successfull as her sister in the Pop World she too trod the boards from an early age and had a very good knack of choosing the right songs for her " Team Minogue" contestants....


I will definetly still be watching whoevers on the judging panel........and have a feeling that Simon won`t be able to stay away completly and will probably turn up as a guest judge from time to time...

Just googled Tulisa from Ndubz,

The group formed in 1999-2000 when they were 12/13 years old so have been about for a while.

I think they had a tough upbringing and has been performing for years. Her Parents split when she was young and her Dad was in the group Mungo Jerry. He died a while ago.

Kelly Rowland started in the industry at a young age as well.

I did like Danni, she was brilliant with her contestants, unlike some last year who are now jetting off across the pond.
