she knows nothing about music..

she only became a celebrity because of her husband and because she cant go for a day without saying f*ck or sh*t

she says the same comments every flipping week.."ooh you sound good"..or "words cant describe how good you sound" to more or less everyone

she said an awful offensive comment tonight "..why are you singing that song..your not BLACK"...i never knew that you had to become a particular race to sing a certain way

she cant keep her mouth shut..and always has to argue with simon

the more and more i see her the more shes annoying

she has managed ozzy for years and brought him from bankruptcy to being a millionaire again and has also managed other successful bands including the smashing pumpkins and coal chamber-plus she developed ozzfest which is also hugely successful

she also promotes her daughter, nuff said.

I didn't like her decision tonight - but I do think she is qualified to be a judge - she has shown herself to be a good businesswoman and manager of acts.

Get her off the show! She's just demonstrated exactly why she doesn't have the maturity to be a judge.

She was born into and brought up in the music business, I think she knows a little bit about it.

The comment she made tonight was out of order, but one comment doesn't make her a bad judge...or sending home what some believe to be the wrong act.

and louis walsh does? Sharon is a very good business woman and her track record shows she deserves to be there

I don't agree with some of her comments and decisions, but didn't she work for her Father who was a music producer and that's how she got involved with the industry?

pretty much,and then she got involved with ozzy and her and her father had a huge falling out over him tryng to rip off ozzy even though he was her daughters husband

No, Louis doesn't either. The two of them have entered into a pathetic game of Sharon and Louis vs Simon. It's childish and it's undermining the whole point of the show. Simon is the only one that deserves to be there as a judge. At least he's honest.

Wrong sharon dosn't manage kelly if you watched the osbournes you will have seen her reason why, she gives her advice but when kelly started sharon was ill and ozzy didn't want her to be over stressed managing both him and kelly, also a lot of the work managing ozzy has gone to ozzy's assistant

her father demanded a million pounds from sharon and ozzy for the contract ozzy had with her father

Absolute nonsense. Sharon made two huge errors of judgement tonight - the remark to Steve, and allowing 2 To Go to stay in - but in general she's very good as a judge. She's more than qualified to fill the role, and unlike the other two judges she's watchable, fun and charismatic. Most importantly her musical taste romps all over the other two judges. Simon's judgement veers wildly all the time between clueless and sensible, and Louis has no redeeming qualities at all. Sharon is consistent - she chose three excellent contenders, and has championed them well.

Wow I forgot about those world famous sucessful bands LOLLLLL

Get real

Sharon Rocks

She's a judge on the wave of her appearance on the "realityish" shows she was in about her family......that's why....We'll all have to put up with it.

maybe before you all start judging people see who they are first. I mean she's only been on TV for 2 hours and you already think you know her back to front, inside out.

have you even heard of those bands or do you only listen to britney spears? you get real,smashing pumpkins were very successful and influential

hahahah you're joking right ? She is a hugely successful manager and makes more money than ozzie. I suppose YOU know more about music do you ?

No offence but you all really are over reacting here. Sharon had to make a choice. It was obvious you would either like the decision or not but a decision had to be made and you can't call Sharon a bad judge because of one decision. You are all saying Sharon is childish...look at yourselves

Maybe the fact that she made £40 million from management (having gone into the music business at 15), runs two record labels, singlehandedly revived her husband's career from alcoholic no-hoper to huge star, created and organised the OZZfest festival which makes 20 million dollars a year (as well as devising and selling The Osbournes TV show) means she has some small grasp of the industry...

my brother's in the 'music' industry

and one of the songs sung tonight was written

by the father of dear friend of mine.....

<<so what>>

as much as i would have liked louis, or sharon

to like verity....they didn't

still! verity got to the final

in itself....a remarkable achievement

so well done verity you were terrific tonight

the x-factor's tough on us auld yins

the truth is none of them should get a vote on who goes or stays as they have a vested intrest in this as it also reflects on them as managers, to make it fair on all of the contestants another panel of judges should have the final vote.....

Sharon Osbourne is a hard-nosed successful business woman.She didn't pull the Osbournes back from the brink of bankruptcy by conducting herself as she would have you believe.This kind, sweet,sharing,caring Sharon is as fake as the Sharon who made millions from the television show called 'The Osbournes'.

What you see is a created character.

Do you know that in the dressing room this evening,Ozzy stumbled over the names of these people who are supposed to be his latest 'best friends'.Take a reality check please.

erm 'all'? most posts so far have been in Sharon's defence
