Sharon sh*ts all over Tulisa.

Actually, I imagine the producers will be glad they got rid of her after what's in the press this week...

[GiRTh]

Why not bring back Danni instead of Sharon? Cant see the show being any better tbh.

Because Sharon makes (and did make) much better TV, and this is an entertainment show, as I always try to stress to people...

People watching X Factor looking for musical integrity are only going to be disappointed. If those people watched it for entertainment they'd enjoy it a lot more.

Its debatable that Sharon makes better TV. IT all depends on what you regard as good TV. For me, Sharon is brash an boorish. Not good TV in my book.

I think we all agree there is little, if any, true musical talent on X-Factor and any judge like Barlow who tries to push the talent aspect of the show is accused of being boring. I feel sorry for the contestants TBH.

Sounds like a trainwreck


Will not be watching. Bloody hate Sharon Osborne

Official press pictures:







Don't like the seating order, Gary and Nicole need to swap...I never understood why they switched at last years live shows.

The new auditon room set looks nice though, more updated than when they did them before.

[Ninastar]

have they gotten rid of the audience?

[Joe.]

:O auditions in rooms again?

[Jack_]

Yeah, they're doing the auditions rooms at first and then if an act gets through that they'll perform in an arena

Still unsure whether that means the arena auditions will just be Bootcamp (as that's usually in an arena with an audience anyway), or whether the arena auditions will be an extra stage before Bootcamp. We'll see.

I thought this was common knowledge now anyway it says it in the article in the OP

[Joe.]

hmm cos auditions tickets are usually out by now so maybe they're going back to the room? I would prefer it actually!

[Jack_]

I have to say though, it's so weird seeing them sat at that desk in a room it seems so low key now when we've had years of that picture having an arena filled audience behind them

A good change of course, just weird to see again! Especially with this panel

[Ninastar]

This is good

The people in the audience are almost always idiots.

Still don't think ill watch though

[Jack_]

Applause Store have tickets available for the arena auditions...well, they will do soon I think

http://www.applausestore.com/applaus...p?id=365&bid=4

They start in July. But as I said, it's not known whether it'll be an extra stage or just simply Bootcamp.

[Jack_]

Also Gary tweeted after yesterday's filming finished saying his cheeks hurt from laughing with a thanks to Sharon

The closed rooms always made the auditions funnier, and with Sharon back it'll be even more hilarious

[Jordan.]

The logo that colour >

I hope we get a new live show set too

Dermot interviews the judges:

Youtube video

Louis: 'It's not all about the voice'

The Sharon and Louis double act back together <3333 I'm so excited for this series already

[Samm]

Sharron amazing and the x logo best I have ever seen it

[Alf]

Sharon? a guaranteed drop in ratings (she's false and full of sh*t)
Louis? as been saying the same critique to every act for the past 5 year's (bored)
Nicole? not good enough to make it in America, so we have to make do with her (bring back Cheryl)

[Vanessa]

Queen Sharon is back!
