Missing Simon, Cheryl & even Dannii
 

I did quite like the new panel in the earlier stages but after watching tonights show I can't help but think theres something missing. After Louis spoke it just didn't feel right going to Tulisa, it should have been Dannii

I thought Kelly was boring and a bit of a let down when shes been really lively and entertaining in the earlier rounds

Gary is good IMO. They tried too hard with the arguing stuff almost like it was pre-planned to pick on certain acts (who truly weren't that bad) to have argument between each other.

The new judges were great at the auditions but it didn't feel right tonight. Simon definitely needs to come back.

I was like 'wut?' when Louis tried to argue with Garry.

Didn't feel right.

Cheryl is the only one I miss.

Gary is much better then recent Simon, old Simon is the best though.

Dannii was terrible :bored:

I prefer the new judges

Only Judge I miss is Dannii Minogue. Team Minogue rules <3 Couldn't care lesss about Simon and Cheryl.

Tonight was a long waste of time for me,it was in effect a long drawn out stage of judges houses, the twist ridiculous especially with no referral to the public whatsoever.

There could have still been a public vote, saving the first 2 in each catagory,then the judges sending home one of the acts each who got the last 2 sets of votes.

Gary took way too long with his comments and the banter between him and Louis failed badly,in fact Gary was extremely rude to Louis, especially since Gary messed the boys section up.

The banter between Gary & Louis was too forced, almost as though they'd scripted it last year to be between Louis & Simon.

They should just be more natural, I though the disputes between Kelly and Louis or Tulisa and Gary were much better and more natural. I liked it when the whole panel were against each other for no reason after Nu Vibe :joker:

With any luck it'll just be first show nerves

I agree completely with that.

Only good judge on there is Kelly, which is weird as i thought she'd be poor when i first heard she was going to be on the panel and the other two (Tulisa and Gary) were gonna be good. Guess it's a bit too earlier to form opinions, they all need a bit of time to bed in.

Did Danni actually get the boot? Didn't she just say she'd be busy this year so she couldn't take part? I think that leaves the door open for a comeback.

Its refreshing.

I love the new Panel, the only person I miss is Dannii and Kelly is more then filling her role. Cheryl was a perosnality vacuum and Tulisa is a more interesting version of her. Simon became a parody of himself near the end so I'm glad he's gone.

I don't miss Simon because in the last series he was awful, the constant praise for One Direction and Cher Lloyd was absurd. Cheryl I kinda miss her on the panel but I do tend to forget she was even on the panel, she wasn't a brilliant judge. Dannii I miss a lot though, she always gave good constructive critisicm which you could always tell Simon was unhappy about.

I think they need time to gel as a team..I thought it was all a bit forced last night, especially when Tulisa said now your going to see my harder side..and then did absolutely nothing

lol yeh, that was painful to watch.

I don't miss Simon or Cheryl at all, especially Cheryl.

:joker:Yes,I grinned at that after she said it and then 'nothing'.

I really do miss Dannii!!!

Dannii was my favourite too, it's a shame she's gone

I much prefer this set up to that of previous years.

Miss Dannii, that is all.

The panel has no warmth anymore. Tulisa is too urban and hard for it, and Gary's too mean. I as expecting Kelly to be the likeable warm character but she's not doing it either. With Cheryl, you could always rely on her to say something nice, and for it to seem genuine and be like awwww, but with Kelly its all YOU BROUGHT IT DOWN DAWG/GURL/SISTAH and it's weird.
