And who would be the fourth judge?

I like Nicole, but can't see her staying with those 3.

    Cheryl is only coming back because her music career strives off X Factor and Simon Cowell. Her last album bombed.

    I'd like Nicole to stay and I think Simon, Nicole, Rita and Louis would be a better panel. Rita has more personality than Cheryl.

    Simon - fine. Don't bring the other 2 back. Keep Nicole and Louis. Maybe keep Sharon or get a woman producer or manager, not a tart.

    Just seems odd, to have Sharon back for one year only. Mind you Kelly Rowland only lasted one year.

    Yes, Kelly only left because she proved to be unpopular with the GBP. It's not like Nicole has had that same effect this year, as she still polls the most votes for 'Favourite Judge'.

    Though I am surprised that Nicole hasn't used XF as a means to promote her music, that says more about the type of person she is in comparison to Cheryl. :)

    Only Simon needs to return, and then he needs to convince Sharon to stay and then you've got the best possible panel out of all previous judges.

    Simon - Nicole - Sharon - Louis

    Perfect.

    Rita is basic as hell. She would be a completely pointless addition. She's not even that successful.

    An utterly pointless celebrity who seems mostly to have a very effective PR rather than talent

    You know that the 4th judge will be Walsh. Who the others are we'll have to wait and see but if Cowell returns, this shows days are numbered.

    Agreed. I'd rather have an empty chair than that vacuous dullard. In fact, I'd sooner put Christopher Maloney on the panel.

    Ths. Rita would be a death knell for the series as far as I'm concerned. She is utterly lacking in any sort of star quality.

    I'd be happy to see Rita on the panel but disappointed to have Cheryl back. I'd much rather have Dannii back than Cheryl.

    For me, no. Simon and Cheryl (of 2008/9) yes but I really don't like Rita Ora and I don't think she's been around for long enough

    I could cope with Simon, Cheryl, Nicole and Louis but I don't think Cheryl particularly likes Nicole so it won't happen

    Please no to Cheryl. She never gave good critiques other than 'you're a little star' or 'you nailed it'. Much prefer Danni

    I'm not really looking forward to Rita being a judge. She didn't seem that interesting during her guest stint and she has less experience in the industry as Tulisa and Cheryl had when they joined.

    I also hope she's not going to be flirting with Simon as well :o:o :rolleyes:

    I wonder what Rita's boyfriend thinks of her joining the show? Wasn't he banned after he jumped on stage with Jedward? I don't know what Simon is thinking of asking Rita to join. As much as I can't stand Cheryl, I think Cheryl, Nicole and Louis are going to be the best panel he is going to get.

    Rita would be the most hated, and viewers would be calling for her firing every week.

    Rita and Cheryl play the same role, so no.

    Cheryl was pointless (did she ever say much more than "you are right up my street" to her contestents?) and her "my gang" act with Simon was simply nauseating. Rita is pure trash and it's a total joke she was ever on X Factor's judging panel at any point in time.

    So a big fat no way from me when it comes to those two.

    Rita is just Tulisa v2. So, no. We need people that have been in the industry for a while, not some random singer with a limited shelf-life.

    I don't mind Cheryl because she's had plenty of experience in the industry from Girls Aloud and her solo career. I'd love it to be Simon/Cheryl/Sharon/Louis, but I don't know if ITV can afford that panel...
