2 series will air in 2019

[Denver]

Simon has confirmed a Celeb version and All Star version

[Barry.]

Interesting.

[Morgan.]

I'm actually really excited for both!

[Barry.]

I'm actually really excited for both!

Same. Allstars will be exciting. Gemma Collins for Celebs?

[Liam-]

‘All Stars’ lbr, let’s get ready for Marcus Collins, The Risk and Christopher Maloney.

[LukeB]

Saara Aalto is coming for her win :dance:

[Tony Montana]

‘All Stars’ lbr, let’s get ready for Marcus Collins, The Risk and Christopher Maloney.

This

[Morgan.]

Same. Allstars will be exciting. Gemma Collins for Celebs?

She was great on All Together Now! She can actually sing!

[Liam-]

Get Ruth Lorenzo back or just cancel it

[Greg!]

Ruth Lorenzo and Alexanda Burke are coming to slay!

[Denver]

We Love 2 time winner Leon Jackson

[Tony Montana]

Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis , JLS, and Shayne Ward or keep it

[Denver]

Alexandra, Leona, JLS, Shayne Ward or keep it

One of JLS will be in prison by the time it airs

[LaLaLand]

Atrocious.

[Tony Montana]

One of JLS will be in prison by the time it airs

Just Aston, Marvin and JB then

[LukeB]

Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis , JLS, and Shayne Ward or keep it

Not JLS :yuk:

Cher Lloyd needs to return

[Morgan.]

Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis , JLS, and Shayne Ward or keep it

Let's not @ JLS

[RileyH]

TP5c11Zt21E

[Barry.]

TP5c11Zt21E

Now she is on Hollyoaks.

[Greg!]

Ew at Simon wanting the same panel as last year tho :umm2:

[Tony Montana]

Not JLS :yuk:

Cher Lloyd needs to return

Let's not @ JLS

What have you guys got against JLS? They've got some great tracks.

Cher Lloyd would be good too, can't believe I missed her out

[Denver]

Lucy Benjamin should be allowed to fight for her crown

[Denver]

We need Wagner back for sure

[Tony Montana]

We need Wagner back for sure

and Honey G and Jedward

[Morgan.]

It'll be interesting, the All Stars one. They've created some absolute stars, but it's whether some are even willing to return. Little Mix have become like the second biggest girlband of all time, are they really gonna lower themselves to performing against Jedward, Treyc Cohen and Storm Lee?

They can't sign up any of One Direction, even if they tried, because with Louis on the panel that's riggery from the absolute start.

And what about Simons dropped acts who might deserve a place but are going to be understandably bitter; Louisa Johnson, Sam Bailey, Alexandra Burke etc?

[Liam-]

Ruth Lorenzo, Rowetta, Only The Young and Sophie Habibis are MUSTS

[LukeB]

What have you guys got against JLS? They've got some great tracks.

Cher Lloyd would be good too, can't believe I missed her out

They were quite cringe and Aston is annoying and cocky. His SCD elimination was amazing though so i will be here for that

we also need talented Rachel Adedeji because Pete Dickson saying RACHEL ADEDEJI was iconic and she was robbed
v2XzH8sw-LY

[Denver]

Wagner is winning this

[Denver]

I wonder if they will use international stars??

Dami Im would be phenomenal

[Tony Montana]

Lucie Jones, Misha B, Janet devlin please

[Denver]

Kitty Brucknell would be a good one

[Liam-]

Lucie Jones, Misha B, Janet devlin please

Lucie and Misha :love:

We want Diana Vickers too

[Morgan.]

Ruth Lorenzo, Rowetta, Only The Young and Sophie Habibis are MUSTS

Ugh I'd kill for OTY but they split after the first album and they've all gone their own ways. Charlie quit music and is a dad, Betsy is chasing a reality tv career and parisa and mikey are both in new bands </3

[LukeB]

Lucie Jones, Misha B, Janet devlin please

Not Janet Devlin, Diana Vickers did it better.

I doubt Fleur East will do it </3 Simon was shady about Fleur being on i'm a celeb but he probably get Ben Whonow when Fleur was easily the star of that series.

[Liam-]

Ugh I'd kill for OTY but they split after the first album and they've all gone their own ways. Charlie quit music and is a dad, Betsy is chasing a reality tv career and parisa and mikey are both in new bands </3

We can wish! :(

I want the ‘ONLY THE YOUNG!’ Man to have another run

[Morgan.]

It should be subtitled X Factor: Year of the Woman and just be full of the Stars such as little Mix, Alexandra, Louisa, Misha, Cher, Diana, Misha, Lucy, Acacia and Aaliyah, Leona, Saara, Fleur, Grace, Ella etc

[Liam-]

We also want Blonde Electra, Alien Uncovered and Andrea Faustini

[Wizard.]

Whew kinda perched!

[Morgan.]

We also want Blonde Electra, Alien Uncovered and Andrea Faustini

Not two first boots and a Sam Smith wannabe :skull:

[Denver]

We also want Grace Davies and Ella Henderson

[LukeB]

It should be subtitled X Factor: Year of the Woman and just be full of the Stars such as little Mix, Alexandra, Louisa, Misha, Cher, Diana, Misha, Lucy, Acacia and Aaliyah, Leona, Saara, Fleur etc

Saara's reactions part two are coming :flutter:
BiABb74lA_4

[LukeB]

Not two first boots and a Sam Smith wannabe :skull:

Sam Smith isn't just a boring ballad singer though, he does some bops.

[Morgan.]

Saara's reactions part two are coming :flutter:
BiABb74lA_4

Tbf with the lineup they're likely to have, she'd probably have a good shot at winning :cheer2:

[Denver]

It would be interest how the categories will work with most of them being over 28

[Tony Montana]

Lucie and Misha :love:

We want Diana Vickers too

I still can't get over Lucie's unfair elimination :bawling: I remember the huge uproar when Simon sent it to deadlock. He was public enemy #1 the next few days

[Ross.]

Who is actually here for a celeb version

It’s so annoying that literally every show has to be associated with celebrities for viewers to be interested these days

It’s killing RTV!

[Tony Montana]

It should be subtitled X Factor: Year of the Woman and just be full of the Stars such as little Mix, Alexandra, Louisa, Misha, Cher, Diana, Misha, Lucy, Acacia and Aaliyah, Leona, Saara, Fleur, Grace, Ella etc

:clap1:

[LukeB]

Tbf with the lineup they're likely to have, she'd probably have a good shot at winning :cheer2:

I hope she has the underdog journey again, she has one of the best journeys of all time. If her year had last years final format she would have won! :oh:

[Ross.]

I’m here for All Stars though but can’t see any winners returning as it’s a bit of a step backwards

Will more likely be the acts that are memorable but never really got anywhere

[Morgan.]

It would be interest how the categories will work with most of them being over 28

I imagine they won't have categories, but if they di it'll probably be similar to how the greatest dancer did it, Auditions as normal, public or judges send acts through (I'd imagine public) and then the judges deliberate and pick their chosen teams without category boundaries.

[Liam-]

Not two first boots and a Sam Smith wannabe :skull:

Watch it missy :oh:

[Wizard.]

Hoping All Stars is first tho let's get to the serious competition. I imagine it'll take them a while to contract celebs in anyway.

[Ross.]

This just won’t work without an All Star panel though

Break the bank and bring our Dannii, Sharon, Chez and Louis (Walsh) home!

[Tony Montana]

An ideal Line-up for me would be Simon, Mel B, Sharon and Louis Walsh


I didn't watch last years, How were Robbie, Louis and Ayda as judges?

[Ross.]

Didn’t auditions already start for the normal series?

We love no one turning up

[Morgan.]

An ideal Line-up for me would be Simon, Mel B, Sharon and Louis Walsh


I didn't watch last years, How were Robbie, Louis and Ayda as judges?

Meh. I liked robbie but that's unpopular. Louis is inexperienced and a bore. Ayda was a Scream but she couldn't make proper decisions for ****

[Morgan.]

Simon, Rita, Sharon and Brian Friedman is what we REALLY want :clap1:

[Ross.]

Ayda is a scream but really it should just be a one series thing like our Kelly

[Ross.]

Simon, Rita, Sharon and Brian Friedman is what we REALLY want :clap1:

Why Brian Friedman :joker:

[LukeB]

Ayda is a scream but really it should just be a one series thing like our Kelly

Kelly Rowland deserved another series

[Morgan.]

I think Simon should stick to BGT and step away from TXF. He's not the nasty judge like he used to be, and he doesn't really fit with the show anymore imo

[Liam-]

We want an all female panel of Dannii, Mel B, Kelly and Tulisa

[Ross.]

Kelly Rowland deserved another series

Her phoning in sick for one of the live shows was iconic

[Morgan.]

Why Brian Friedman :joker:

Well we LOVE gender equality, but Louis Walsh is tired and if they got Gary Barlow back he'd take a whole year trying to tell Mary Byrne that she's not through to Judges Hotels Homes so Brian's the next best choice obviously

[Ross.]

I think Simon should stick to BGT and step away from TXF. He's not the nasty judge like he used to be, and he doesn't really fit with the show anymore imo

He doesn’t seem to have a clue how to mentor anymore either

Always forcing terrible song choices on his acts and costing them their places :skull:

[Tony Montana]

Kelly was brilliant. ''If you can't take the heat, then baby you need to get out of the kitchen''

Df68ODCjiaQ

[LukeB]

Her phoning in sick for one of the live shows was iconic

And this
zQqp4Wzp3I8

[Tony Montana]

What's everyone's opinions on Tulisa as a judge?

[Ross.]

And this
zQqp4Wzp3I8

:love:

Her clear bias towards Misha B was also a scream, didn’t she send home Janet to save her by abstaining lmao

[Morgan.]

What's everyone's opinions on Tulisa as a judge?

Well she was okay but I haven't missed her so I'm not bothered. She's also not really relevant anymore so I feel like if she returned it'd be a bit like having a civilian on the panel lmao

[Liam-]

What's everyone's opinions on Tulisa as a judge?

Loved her and her fag ash breath :love:

[Ross.]

What's everyone's opinions on Tulisa as a judge?

She wasn’t bad in 2011, trash in 2012 and random (but lowkey iconic) in 2014

[Tony Montana]

Well she was okay but I haven't missed her so I'm not bothered. She's also not really relevant anymore so I feel like if she returned it'd be a bit like having a civilian on the panel lmao

:joker: True

[LukeB]

What's everyone's opinions on Tulisa as a judge?

Kelly was better :fan:

I felt Tulisa was unprofessional during the Misha B thing and Louis but Gary spilled some tea on that in his book

"About half an hour before the show goes live, the producers would come in and and they'd go, 'Oh my God. That Misha. She's a bully. Can't believe it. She is such a bully. In fact, you know what? You should say it. You should say it on air. She's bullied everyone all week'," he continued.

and she did treat Christopher like **** (i didn't like him) but her comments were way too harsh.

[Tony Montana]

She wasn’t bad in 2011, trash in 2012 and random (but lowkey iconic) in 2014

I agree, I only enjoyed her in 2011 and 14.

[Morgan.]

She wasn’t bad in 2011, trash in 2012 and random (but lowkey iconic) in 2014

She was on it in 2014 :suspect:

[Tony Montana]

Kelly was better :fan:

and she did treat Christopher like **** (i didn't like him) but her comments were way too harsh.

I think everyone was always gonna like Kelly more, but I enjoyed them equally.

[Ross.]

She was on it in 2014 :suspect:

She done the Saturday final when Mel B was ill

[Tony Montana]

She was on it in 2014 :suspect:

during the judges house as Louis Walsh's guest

[Tony Montana]

Anyone remember these two? :joker::joker::joker::joker:

[LukeB]

Anyone remember these two? :joker::joker::joker::joker:

rrNbLBS1D2Q

I was in the audience :joker:

[LukeB]

it took them 10 minutes to come back :joker:

[Tony Montana]

I was in the audience :joker:

Were you? Lucky you. Must've been a hilarious mess

[LukeB]

Were you? Lucky you. Must've been a hilarious mess

Yeah, i was also there for Cher Lloyd too :amazed:

yeah:joker: but they did get irritating because they kept talking longer than what was shown and then Lisa told the crowd to shut up before leaving the stage for 10 minutes came back and sang Don't Stop Believing and it was terrible which Simon had to stop. Lisa then begged to sing another song and she didn't take no as an answer so Simon gave in and let them sing another which was That's My Goal. The punch was hilarious though ngl.

I would've loved to have seen all that chaos with my own eyes. Was their rendition of Don't stop believing worse than That's My Goal? I wish we got to see that

How was Cher Lloyd?

[LukeB]

How was Cher Lloyd?

Yes:joker: it was awful

Cher Lloyd was amazing! the whole arena was on their feet and other than the punch the crowd felt lively and awake because most of the auditions were boring and meh so people were getting bored until Cher Lloyd sang, it felt like a star was born.

God I miss 2010-11 X Factor

I was supposed to go back the next day but i was busy so i missed Liam Payne's audition :laugh:

i miss 2008-2011 X Factor

but i also miss Fleur's year and Saara's year too wasn't a classic but i lived for their underdog journey.

[Tony Montana]

I love the 2008-09, but 2010 and 11 was its peak for me.

I loved fleurs and Saara's years too. I seem to watch one series, then skip the next year. I watched 2012, skipped 13, watched 14, skipped 15, watched 16 and didn't watch 17 or 18. 2016 was the last year where I actually watched it all.

If I had to rank them

1. 2011
2. 2010
3. 2008
4. 2009
5. 2006
6. 2014
7. 2016
8. 2005

the rest

What's your ranking?

[Tony Montana]

All this talk of All Stars has actually got me excited for X Factor

That's a first

[T*]

It’s dead

[Denver]

Tulisa is the greatest ever judge

[Jack_]

He’s ****ing lost it :skull: this is overkill

I’m here for an All Stars series as a final send off, it’ll most likely be a “second chance” style run with acts who made the lives or whatever but not much else

[Jack_]

Who is actually here for a celeb version

It’s so annoying that literally every show has to be associated with celebrities for viewers to be interested these days

It’s killing RTV!

Yep

[Oliver_W]

Gamu!!

[Headie]

Little Mix have become like the second biggest girlband of all time, are they really gonna lower themselves to performing against Jedward, Treyc Cohen and Storm Lee?

You better shut your mouth Treyc was one of the best vocalists this show has seen :fist:

[Strictly Jake]

I'm excited for both celeb and all stars I always wanted an all stars series!

As for those saying Gemma collins should do celeb x factor I think her and arg should do it as a duo he sang on this morning yesterday and he isn't too bad

This would be my all stars if they could get them all (which I doubt)

Shayne Ward

Saara Alto
Fleur East

Cher Lloyd
Louisa Johnson
Alexander Burke

[Nicky91]

:clap1: good choice Simon, going for bit more fun and entertainment with x factor

[Lostie!]

I'm sure Simon said the first celebrity version was a mistake and wouldn't be done again

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I'm sure Simon said the first celebrity version was a mistake and wouldn't be done again

Yeah but that was back when the show was actually a success :fan:

[arista]

Atrocious.


He has a Contract with ITV
to fulfill

[sleleen]

Samira should do the celebrity version she’s an amazing singer!

[Marsh.]

:umm2:

"The show is dying, it's old, it's been on for way too long and the audience are getting bored Simon!"

"Oh really? Right, let's do TWO series this year!"

Anyone who has won, or at least become moderately successful is not going to return.
