-doesn't like the BGT lineup and would be more than happy for Si Co to have a meltdown one day and sack all three-

Maybe that's the problem, they haven't found a panel that worked since 2010.

I don't care for Amanda or Alesha but my point is it works, it's been a constant for six years and the ratings haven't freefallen like X Factor's have

It's weird to think that Simon's catastrophic gamble in pissing off to America with Cheryl was actually the catalyst for the decline. The show had just had two peak series, and they thought it'd be a great idea to replace 3/4 of a winning panel :conf: things have never recovered since and they've tried and failed to limit the damage but have actually accelerated it

Tulisa should be on the panel of ever singing show in the planet

If it keeps her busy and out of the studio then I agree.

Robbie Williams and Ricky Martin are peculiar ways of spelling Tulisa

I’d be here for the Mel B return

There are 3 spots available

Panel confirmed as

Simon Cowell
Mel B
Rita Ora
Robbie Williams

With sharon appearing at lives

How do you know?

No wonder Rita's album is delayed till October now :skull:

That is made up

That is categorically wrong.

Rita Ora is not judging The X Factor.

If it is true then
Simon:Boys
Rita:Groups
Robbie:Overs
MelB:Girls

Yas Rihta is back!

Sorry I was fibbing

Her return wouldn't surprise me though since she was on the BGT live shows

I'm half-expecting Alesha to join as well

Tulisa is the only sensible option

Tulisa, Robbie, Mel and Simon.

First announcement is tomorrow afternoon.

Our Mel back where she belongs

Best line up ever

Going to the first London auditions and I hope to attend six chairs again like last year if so I’ll post spoilers on here

If anyone wants tickets for either or both then go on the applause store then click on the event tickets are free and genuine

I've been told to stress that this will be the 'main' panel this year... not the only.

The permanent three as confirmed are Tulisa, Mel and Simon.

Throughout the series, a different judge will fill the fourth seat. The details are (apparently, anyway) still being finalised regarding what this means for Sharon's role. She is either going to join as a fifth judge in the live shows, or will become the 'permanent' fourth judge for the live show period.

Throughout the auditions, a different fourth judge will join the panel - with Robbie filling it for the longest and for the most important parts of the show, including Six Chair Challenge and Judges Homes before he passes the category on. He will not be judging the live shows.

I have been told that guest judges are - in addition to Robbie - Ricky Martin, Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey.

Very interesting development and was not the initial plan at all. Louis was going to be on the panel until he gave way only two weeks ago...

If you Tulisa is not confirmed the forum will never forgive you just saying

What a MESS
