Cheryl is probably the most qualified of all XF judges. She's most in touch with the core audience. She's a relevant artist currently having hits. She's been through this process herself and can relate from both sides. Simon and Louis are middle aged business men(with a middle aged womans taste in music) and thats exactly what they see it as...a business opportunity. Cheryl has no investment in them moneywise so for her it really is just about whether she likes them.

We can all give opinions about how good somebody is and nobody is more right than anybody else so really you don't need to be any kind of expert. The voters have the final say anyways. Its not like any judge on any talent show is always right and chooses the right songs always. They all make big mistakes because ultimately it comes down to one persons tastes against anothers.
