What changes do you expect this year?

in The X Factor #1
We know now that a new presenter(s) are abound but what else?

I can see a change all together in the judges categories.

I can see judges being given one of each category and having to mentor those.
Or
5 categories
Boys
Girls
Overs
Groups (or separate groups of boys/girls
Judges picks/wildcards

I'd like to see the chosen weeks music theme having a guest mentor, similar to american idol.

What about you?

    Yeah definitely 5 judges, 5 categories with boys, girls, overs and then boybands vs girlsbands (like the good old 90's) as separate categories like you said

    How about having bands? That's what they have done for X Factor New Zealand this year (a World first for X Factor I believe). They have them as part of the groups category though. So how about having the categories as Girls, Boys, Overs, Groups and Bands?

    I hope they get some new songs instead of recycling the same ones every year. Also let the contestants have more say in what they sing. On American Idol don't they choose from a list?

    They can not make a Girl Group and Boy Band catergory as that would mean mixed groups will not be allowed to enter.

    I Think they should have

    Girls
    Boys
    Teens (16 - 19)
    Groups
    Overs

    Considering the success of 5SOS and The Vamps I'd be surprised if Simon didn't consider having "bands" do the show, though most that would do it would be 5SOS wannabes

    Simon has reportedly been in touch with former X Factor USA judge Britney Spears, 33, to plan a special weekend based on her hits when the show returns later this year.

    So the themed weeks are to continue :confused:

    Simon hopes to have high profile guests Like Madonna.

    It also seems Cheryl and Mel could be back ;-)
    A show source told the Daily Star: “Cheryl won’t be getting a pay rise, and Mel will have to take a pay cut to stay as a judge.

    mel isn't the type of person to do as she's told, plus she wouldn't stand for a pay cut
