What's your opinion of her? Do you think she'll make a good judge? Also do you think this will be the end of N-Dubz?

[Smithy]

I think she's too young and pretty inexperienced to be judging/mentoring other people.

Noone over the age of 25 is going to want to take advice from her

[King Gizzard]

It's like shopping at Waitrose, then next year going to shop at Lidl's

[Jords]

I think shes gorgeous

It wont be the end of N-Dubz, infact, I think it will help them (theyll be invited to perform no doubt). I think shes gonna come across quite sweet and quirky and surprise many people, yeah she has a chavvy image but doest make her a bad person!

[Jordan.]

I think she'll be good. Having her as a judge could encourage a differen't genre of artists to audition for the show.

We need more acts who are current and would do well in the charts not flops.

[MTVN]

Tulisa

I'm not sure if she'd actually be a good judge/mentor though :/

[InOne]

She is fit and that. And if her going on X factor means N Dubz finish, and then X factor failing cos she is on it, then it's win win

[Beastie]

The girl is fit. Seems interesting. 10x better than Chezza Cole.

Bring it on.

Would love her to have arguments with an auditionee. "No luv but ya can't sing".

Tulisa of course.. can sing! And sings so much better than Chezza Cole.

It will be the end of N Dubz. And Tulisa deserves a solo career

She is apparently being paid 500 grand to be on X Factor. Bet she is chuffed with the money. I reckon she has only made 50 grand or even less being in N Dubz.

Gary Barlow has been offered 1.5 million. He should be offered more really. He has been in the music business the past 20 odd years! lol

[Jords]

What do you think Claudy?

[Locke.]

Fit. Quite a nice person, she isn't an idiot like people think just because of the image the 2 males in the group take. And won't be as annoying as Danni was.

She is a good replacement.

[Vicky.]

Gotta be better than cheryl

Thought she was a horrid choice to start with but decided Im going to give her a chance before judging her...

N-Dubz are well and truly awful though

I agree with Smithy that the over 25s prob won't respect her, well until they get to know her, so it might be a tough category for her to get.

And yea it almost seemed like a joke when I first heard it, I mean I like her a lot, but the XF could get people who are really high profile in the industry. But the more I thought about it, she seemed like a brilliant choice, but still maybe risky.

Plus if you're getting rid of Dannii, there's no point in getting a Dannii like person to replace her. So I think Tulisa's attitude could be great for the show.

I've seen her a few times on the n-dubz reality tv show, where they get followed around as they go on tour and mess around. She has a wonderful personality and she seems pretty sensible.

Also I'm pretty sure I remember Tulisa on the xtra factor last season, where she was talking about how the XF should have an urban week. I'm pretty sure that'll happen this season.

And as for n-dubz, I wouldn't like to see them split up over this. I hope it does give them a boost.

[Kerry]

Nice enough lass. Not enough experience to be a judge and certainly not a mentor

Good post! Pretty much sums up the pros + cons of her arrival

An urban week would be good - will test the contestants flexibility!

Im really excited for TXF this year with her aboard, I can see it having a different feel to it, which tbf is what it needed. Keen on seeing how well she'll do as both a judge + mentor!

[cub]

I'm surprised no-one has dug out her Xtra Factor appearance from last year and stuck it on YT.

[Callum]

Don't know much about her but seen clips of her before and I just don't think she will make a good judge. Can't say for definite yet but what experience has she got? N Dubz have had a few hit singles and not everybody has heard of them where as with Cheryl and Girls Aloud, everyone had heard of them because they had loads of hits. With Cheryl there was an interest as to what she was going to be like as a judge. Nobody had ever seen her away from Girls Aloud before and wanted to know whether she was more than just a pretty face.

[Kerry]

She's 22, looks pretty and can sing - and??

I really think it's a bad idea. For her as much as the show and contestants

[King Gizzard]

Cheryl wasn't that credible going into xfactor but at least she had reality show experience and a quite successful mainstream career with a girl band (ok N Dubz did alright but still..)

I'd of thought they'd go for another from Girls aloud. Kimberley?

these

[CharlieO]

She is more aware of things than people give her credit. I think she would be good in some aspects but bad for others.

But Tulisa is amazing in my opinion and oh my god she is so good looking its actually incredible. I actually love her and want to marry her.

No, I dont.. an hopefully

[Niamh.]

I don't know much about her tbh I saw her on celebrity Juice once, that's about it. She didn't say a whole lot on that really, those other two from her band are idiots though

She from what I've seen is far more mature and clever than her band members. I remember seeing a documentary on 4 about her helping children who have to care for mentally ill parents. Tulisa herself grew up with her mother needing constant attention and she has to basically parent her own mother. She seems to have a mature approach to things and has learnt from her experiences which matured her.

Obviously others have opinions based on the genre of N-Dubz's music and their personal taste but I personally don't think Tulisa is a 'chav' or half the things people like to label her with.

[Tom4784]

I'm all for it as it will end N-Dubz.
