Ok do you think X Factor 8 will be a success or a fail with new Judges Gary, Tulisa and Kelly along side old judge Louis

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Not really, people will still tune in, the show is about finding a singer not who the judges are.

[Jordan.]

Success, as much as people say they wont watch I bet they do.

[joeysteele]

I voted it will succeed but I don't think it needed changes of near all the judges,
It will succeed because of the acts on it, I don't think many watch the X Factor just to see the judges.
Having said that, I think it will draw some more viewers in because of Gary Barlow.

Having been to the auditions myself i've seen the judges in action... everyone's gonna love them.

[joeysteele]

I'm disappointed Danni is not there this year (would have liked to see if she could have got back to back winners), but I think she may have only done one more series anyway,I think this panel could be good in some ways, fresh thoughts and hopefully no attention seekers or tantrum throwers.

Now with Cheryl Cole away, maybe this series of the X Factor can grow up a bit and not have to succumb to spoiled childlike demands from any singular judge now.

[Omah]

Don't care, cause I don't watch X Factor

It would be better with Michael Buble instead of Louis Walsh

I doubt Michael Buble would be interested in the job tbh!

I'll miss Dannii but not the other two, they really annoyed me on last years show, they didn't seem to have any interest in the contestants, only in fawning over eachother. I thought they were very disrespectful to the contestants last year when they were supposed to be giving helpful comments but instead used the time to make jokes and play with eachother. I think a new set of judges could save the show, looking forward to it.

I'm sure it will be a success, but I do think Reality Television might be peaking or about to.

I agree, I think people are getting tired of it now

[Joelle.]

The problem is, Cowells absense from American Idol 2011 and BGT 2011 has caused some truly awful acts to get through to the live shows on both shows. Unless this is just a coincidence, the quality of the acts on X Factor could suffer badly, and often they are bad enough as it is. I hope it succeeds though because I hate some of the acts Cowell forced on us, i.e. One Deflection.

[Jords]

Succeed, I hope so anyway.

[Locke.]

Success. Will probably just get similar ratings that it always gets, not much worse and not much better.

[joeysteele]

I cannot see it failing, in the end the acts are the main thing and viewers develop attachments to them so stick with it no matter what.

[Novo]

Failure if the new judges are anything to by anyway

[Joelle.]

People will say they wont watch it, but they do by default. The past two or three years people have said every week after someone good is eliminated that they will never watch it again. Sure enough, viewing figures are even higher next week because their curiosity gets the better of them.

[MTVN]

It's not really "what the show needs" but it will still be a success, in terms of ratings anyway

[Toxic]

After going to the auditions I can safely say that it will be a success, the judges work well together and danii/cheryl are not missed at all

['Conor]

well i am really looking forward to it as i hated Simon & Cheryl

[Z]

I think it'll be less successful than last series. Gary Barlow is boring, he won't make for entertaining viewing, he'll be a complete brick wall that won't produce any banter with the other judges. Kelly Rowland is too polished and reserved to be any fun to watch. Louis will therefore be rendered to having banter with Tulisa, and I'm not sure that'll be very fun to watch. I am excited for Tulisa because she talks a lot of sense and I'm convinced she'll be brilliant at it, but I've always hated Louis as a judge and two of the three new judges are boring as sin. It'll still be watched by a lot of people but I don't think it'll recapture the same success as last series. That said, there might be some excellent contestants this year that save the show from becoming a complete joke, who knows?

It depends on how the public react to the new judges. From what I've heard, they're very good. Will have to wait and see!

[Doogle]

The more I think about it, the more I think it'll be a sucess.

People will still watch no matter how much they always complain. Me being one of them.
