Is this what is commonly known as jumping before pushed???
I am indifferent to Arlene coming back, and think its unlikely, but would be delighted if the producers finally get it right and install Karen Hardy in Alesha's vacant spot. Be interesting to see what happens. |

Pleased Alesha is making these noises. I loved her and wished her well. After week one she did well and I liked her but as the series has gone on it is patentely clear that she cannot keep personal friendships out of judging and for all her strictly experience she only really empathises with those that are good, want to win, and are finding it hard as entertainers stay. Her judging to me isn't seen as independant.
I also don't want Arlene back. |

According to the Mirror today...
http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/...5875-21853333/ Alesha might quit to focus upon her music career in America She is in a business where you forge your own career and take offers as and when they appear. So there is no story here just a newspaper trying to wring a story out of a dry dishcloth. |

I find it incredible that a couple of hundred words scribbled by a tabloid hack are taken seriously enough to start a debate. There seems to be no end to the GBP's appetite for this kind of trash.

Being a judge on SCD is not like a "proper" full time job where you get a regular monthly salary/weekly wages and join the company pension plan. She has signed a contract to do his series so of course she will be "leaving" at the end of it and she has no guarantee that she will be asked back next year or even if the will be a SCD next. year.

![]() Quitting would be if Alesha left before the end of the series because that's when the job is supposed to end! |

You took the words right out of my mouth. Its no secret that her appointment was controversial. Viewing figures are down, series beset with problems, constant criticism in the media. It won't be any surprise if she doesn't come back.

Cynical me says AD is perhaps finding a way to "walk" before she is pushed .... and so when the Beeb doesnt decide to ask her back, then she can say she was never going back...

This is great news! Hopefully the BBC can replace her with someone who knows what they are talking about

Please, please, please let it be true.
The BBC is in deep trouble with SCD at this moment in time and the best thing they could do is to restore credibility to the judging panel. |

Whether the report is true or untrue - there is a saying that there is no smoke without fire. I hope the statement is true because Alesha has lost all credibility as a judge.
My personal view is, if she goes back on the panel of judges next year, a great many people switch off or switch to another channel. |

Alesha has been ok but i wouldn't be bothered if she didn't come back. However i'd be furious if they asked Arlene back - i've really enjoyed not having to listen to her drivel this year.

I think this could be the ideal situation for everyone involved. The BBC would be criticised whether they gave Alesha a contract for next year or not, so for her to not be interested saves them from a difficult decision, and takes away any chance of rejection for her. |

Get Karen in as a judge!
She was one of my favourite pros and the main show just isnt the same without her

I used to be a big fan of hers and was delighted when she won but would love to see her off the panel. Her treatment of Chirs and Craig K was nothing short of spiteful.
It wouldn't matter what woman you put in there. One critical word and they'd be shot down in flames. Even Karen. |

That article is, not surprisingly, wrong. It wasn't Alesha Dixon who caused a public outcry over the firing of Arlene Phillips - it was the BBC producers of SCD.

Can't blame Alesha for finding something better to do on a Saturday night, most of the others involved, haven't, well......not until the panto season starts.
But how long she'll last in the US is a problem for her, lots of singers as good as, or better than her out there. |

I agree, i hope she does well but it is a risky move to drop SCD (if she is) to then, go and try crack America. Amy Winehouse, Estelle, Joss Stone, Leona have all had sucess over their but most of the names i have mentioned are more talented and bring a different type of style to the table than Alesha imo.

She hasn't been asked back yet - and unless/until that happens, she won't be in the position to 'drop' SCD.
