Just when you thought the X Factor saga couldn’t get any more exciting, there comes news that everyone’s favourite, erm - what is it she does again? - Victoria Beckham is set to take over from disgruntled judge Louis Walsh in time for the next series.
According to the Daily Star, the show’s bosses – better known as high-trousered sarcasm merchant Simon Cowell and ex-Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller – aim to lure her with a £1 million offer. “It would be a dream come true for Victoria,” a source told the newspaper. “She’s still keen to forge a telly career and shows don’t come much bigger than this.”
Mr Cowell has made no secret of the fact he would like to work with Victoria. “She is very witty and can poke fun at herself,” he says. “I think The X Factor is the best opportunity for the public to see the real side of her. She’s interesting and good TV.” Indeed – but we’re sure Posh is missing a trick here. We think she’d go down a treat in the jungle, hanging out with the has-beens and creepy-crawlies on the next series of I’m A Celebrity. Imagine! Mrs Goldenballs eating kangaroo’s testicles, anyone?

The real problem is... What the hell does she know about much?
She was in the Spice Girls and never sung and she released a few singles which all flopped. Is that good enough for The X Factor? Simon and Sharon will know what they're talking about as they have managed acts for years. Compared to Victoria, Louis is an amazing judge.

That what I thought too Cull I thought Pete Waterman would be in with a chance as they wanted him first then his son died so they chose Louis instead
i would have liked to seen pete waterman or neil fox replace louis

Yeah the best way to go would be with someone we already know will be good as a judge.

Yeah Louis said he would come back to support Shayne but not return next year
o rite, next series, i thought she was replacing Louis starting now
still I think that is a bad decision, I seriously cant stand Victoria Beckham :sleep: bad decision in my opinion X Factor :puzzled:
Honestly - what does Victoria Beckham know about music?:rolleyes:
I might have to stop watching, seriously bad choice if it's true. There are plenty of people who would do a better judging, how about that bloke who was Take That's manager? Or another manager or someone who's really clued up on music.
I didnt say she doesnt know anything about music i said she doesnt know anything "judging" music - just because shes been in a successful girl group doesnt mean she can judge music. Atleast Louis, Sharon and Simon have experience in managing in the music industry, Victoria Beckham doesnt.

Oh if it gets Louis Walsh of my screens then it's a BLOOODY GREAT IDEA! :P
I like Victoria and she must know stuff about music otherwise she wouldn't be doing it (if this is true) so if this is true then IMO it's a great decision.
But then again i'm biast because i can't bare the sight of Louis Pathetic Walsh!

People have thier opinons, But i cannot stand louis walsh. Victoria IMHO would be a far better judge, She can sing obvisoly she was in the spice girls for 5 years and had an OKAY solo career. People think of her as 'David Beckhams wife' but shes more then that, And if she takes on the role, then maybe we can see a diffrent side to her.

Her singing voice is below average and unlike most judges on these type of show's she has never been a manager, record company boss, producer or vocal coach. Louis Walsh might be a moron on the show but he has been a successful manager for years and was the most successful judge at the end of it last year because G4 have sold so many albums, he may be the most successful again because Shayne's the most marketable of the finalists and will proably last longer than a lot of the other 12 finalists, I don't like some of the decisions he has made but he would be a better judge than VB.
If they are going to replace Louis then it should be with someone who's been a successful manager or producer imo, not some washed up girl group member.
Totally agree with you Fernzy. When I saw this thread, the first thought that popped into my head was "What a stupid idea!" I do want Louis out, but it should be for someone with musical and managerial experience, not some washed up, popstar, footballer's wife.

Since then, he's confirmed that he will be back next year - as long as both Simon & Sharon return, too.
This story is over a year old, by the way. Simon supposedly wanted her on board for series two. I don't think that it will happen, and Louis has already poured cold water on the speculation (feeble pun very much intended).

The story is new because she is probably replacing Louis in the 3rd series.

The story is old - read the post again, and you'll see that it has already been denied.

No this is a new story and they have asked her THIS WEEK and she might do it!
yes, that means she might not do it - please stay Louis :wavey:

How many times? :bored: Louis Walsh was asked in a LIVE tv interview if he would be returning as a judge next year. He said that he would, as long as Simon & Sharon were both still involved. He told the Daily Star on Saturday that he's going nowhere. On Xtra Factor on Friday, he denied it and questioned her ability to be a judge. Louis' colleague (the 16 - 25 vocal coach) denied it. There are no quotes at all from Victoria Beckham about it, nor are there any from Sharon or Simon. The quotes from Simon in the article you posted at the start of the thread are from December 10th, 2004.
Slow news day. Old Simon quote about Victoria Beckham from a year ago. Simon Fuller is her manager, and an associate of Simon Cowell's (on XF now too, after their recent out-of-court settlement). Controversy after Louis left and then returned to XF. Stir thoroughly and allow to simmer.
Nothing is ever impossible. But in this instance, it's been denied several times over and there are no recent quotes from any of the parties supposedly involved. It's an old story.
