X Factor UK 2011

Rumours of Cheryl coming back to the judging panel (possibly in Tulisa's place) emerged a couple of days ago:

I wouldn't mind that Love Cheryl. Tulisa is a bit boring.

Can't wait for the next DVDs. Fred, tell me they are on the way!

They are in the post. Sent them on Monday this time.

I'd imagine that's the winner.

Hope so, love his voice

If she does, then this was always the plan from the very beginning.

I'm inclined to believe it's true on the basis that Cheryl's new L'oreal advert has started airing in the breaks on X factor.

I'm guessing there would be no replacement but simply another category invented. Maybe boys under X age, boys over X age, same two categories but girls, and then groups.

I've certainly not missed Cheryl being on the show

I'm not sure how many more Wagners, John Adelye's, and Storm's this show needs. There's some good older people in Australia this season actually. I can't remember too many good older people in the UK from this season though, and certainly not last season....

Actually last season the original "over 25s" category would have been, I think, the strongest category and it also held the ultimate winner - Matt Cardle. When they changed it to over 28 (presumably because the boys and girls categories were not as strong as expected), Matt cardle and at least one of the girls who originally auditioned for the overs group then became part of the boys/girls category.

Oh right, I forgot the age limits change. The format is frustrating sometimes because some categories can be stacked with great talent and then others are crap, but you have to have 3 (or 4) of each only. I'd have much preferred Gamu and Tom Richards to John A. and Storm. Although Cheryl really didn't need to pick Katie Waissel and that would have helped the situation. Many times, the groups are really horrible too. There should be a way for a mentor to say to the groups, sorry but most of you suck, I'm going with that other mentor and taking some of the acts they don't want. OR like The Voice, the mentor could choose which acts they want to work with, regardless of category. Just keep it open to groups and older people so at least they have a chance to compete if they're good enough.

Kendro is like Johnny times 2

Did anyone catch the previews to next weeks bootcamp after last nights show? Kitty Brucknell looks as though she goes into total meltdown. Hopefully the panel will put her out of her misery and not do something as stupid as invite her to judges houses, or worse yet, the live shows

Innit. Although I fear the worst.

So I thought Cowell didn't sign them after all, but One Erection not only did just score a Number 1 hit with their debut single "What Makes You Beautiful," they also clocked the highest one week sales of the year so far with 153,000 copies.

The song is predictably vomit inducing.

I'll have to watch it after work. They're pretty bad. But at least with them, their voices sounds kinda in tune with each other most of the time. The group of boys on X Factor Australia, Young Men's Society, sound like a bunch of dogs howling when they attempt harmonies. And the judges keep saying they are the best thing ever ever everrrrrrrrrr.

He's out!

Some other weird decisions by the judges: they put a band through to the next round that they put together on the spot (chosen from candidates they'd put together in different groups the day before), without hearing them sing together at all

While the girls and boys' categories had many good candidates (some of which didn't make it through), the groups are really weak and the overs must have been chosen purely on the basis of entertainment factor, most of them are terrible.

Quite predictably Gary got the boys, Kelly the girls, Tulisa the groups and Louis the (left)overs. Think we're going to be seeing a lot of Louis trying to defend his ridiculous acts in the live shows

[Jackie Sparrow]

Nadin, you're spoiling it for me!

Just kidding, it'll still be fun to watch.

'Joke Act' walks out on X-Factor

? I can't watch it. Missing out of all the fun. We're still getting replays of Akai's win here

[Nadin]

Sorry Jackie, forgot you had to wait for your personal courier service
Didn't you have a live link last year?

'Joke Act' walks out on X-Factor

Wise move!

Her husband is BBC chairman????

Her husband is BBC chairman????

Say what?

[Ziggy]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo Goldie was the main reason to watch it.

How could she do this to me?

[skatesindreams]

Her husband is BBC chairman????

Not quite:

Goldie reportedly made the decision to leave the show after conversations with her husband, who used to work for BBC Chairman David Webb.
