I see your point, but the panel would still have artists on it too, just with this fresh opinion added.

Simon was near to unknown when he started to be a judge, but yet because he was good at it, people watched.

I don't think big names attract big ratings, look at The X Factor USA flopping with Britney on it.

If someone is a good judge and is entertaining regardless of their 'star power', then I think ratings would slowly improve.
