Personally I'd rather have Dannii back than Cheryl - but prefer both to Tulisa

I'd rather see Cheryl back than Dannii, she's more popular than you think.
I've heard it say she wants to "withdraw from the public scene and have babies" or whatever. I don't expect her - or Gary - back next year.
And remember the only year the "Dannii is axed" stories weren't everywhere all the time happened to be the year she left?
If it does come back next year, they really need to go back to the drawing board and come back with something that works. And bringing back Cheryl isn't what the show needs imo.
But the ratings are sliding for the second year in a row. Early next year Simon Cowell and his senior team will sit down and look at what went wrong and how they can sort it out. That means everyone's jobs are on the line this year, not just Tulisa. People don't tend to mention Louis and Dermot as being under threat but this year, I think they definitely are.
Shes an excellent judge and the show loves stirring up speculation- its free publicity!!
She is clearly popular with her acts and a decent mentor, unlike louis.
you obviously like it plain
Well, she tells us that every week.
Tenth season next year. Louis will be there. Dermot is probably the best at what he does. He doesn't get mentioned because he makes it look very easy. People on here have said - and I can almost quote it - 'Dermot's job is easy and anyone could do it'. Really? Holly and Reggie, Steve Jones anyone?
I see no talent, no charisma, no style, not sure why she's on the programme, I guess she's there to bring in the same type of viewers.
They won't be wanting to make it too unrecognisable, so I do think Dermot & Louis will remain on the show especially as they were there when the show was at its biggest, with Gary, Cheryl and Nicole being the other judges.
I can see them hanging onto Nicole because they'll struggle to get someone bigger than her to do it and she has gone down very well this year. If Simon isn't back then they'll attempt to hang onto Gary (although he should be axed, but won't be), and they'll throw money at Cheryl to replace Tulisa because shes already hinted she would.
Gary & Cheryl are good friends so we know there will be a bit of genuine chemistry there, but also Cheryl & Louis have history not to mention the interest that Cheryl & Nicole would generate. It would be a lot more integrated than it currently is, and when you break it down its Tulisa that is the weak link because she only really bothers with Louis.
The other thing which has slowly turned me off is this continuous line about her urban roots, as if it is synonymous with cool and all other music genres are rendered inferior and irrelevant. A lot of urban music is actually quite pretentious in the extreme, desperate to get down wiv da kidz, and the acts, for example Misha B, can be arrogance personified.
