Hello. With the annoucment that The US X Factor is to have quite a big name on the panel will the UK X Factor do the same. I read something that ITV wouldn't be willing to pay Katy Perry the money she wanted but is there any reason for this because The show really needs to do well this year.

The US show needs a complete kickstart; The UK show just needs a bit of momentum. The key behind the UK panel is not necessarily finding a big name but getting a panel which compliments each other. If Dannii does not return I can see Simon asking Alesha to take the fouth seat; I think she passed her test on the Britain's Got Talent panel with flying colours and she should at least be an upbeat addition.

There's not much time to find someone - I think Simon's eye has been on the US panel to be honest.

Alesha really is the only choice IMO. She's proven, she's pretty popular after her Britain's Got Talent stint and she's in the music business. The only problem is...hasn't she got another show lined up? But i'm sure she could work around both.

I doubt ITV would be able to afford her to be honest.

Do you really think Beyonce would sign to X Factor UK after they treated her cousin like dirt, also can you imagine the BS that the red tops especially that morose Dan Wootton is going to be writing about Beyonce.

We don't need a big star judge in the UK. The show's the star.

Of course. Beyonce's in it for herself and if she thought becoming a judge on XF was a good career move, she'd do it.

I agree. The have been rumours about her wanting to do it after that 'false' rumours started a while ago and that she would replace Kelly Rowland, but nothing came out of it.

The media have only been fixated on judges that have left and Simon's been busy arranging his USXF 2012.

Beyoncé doesn't like Simon that much after he insulted her, so I don't think she'd consider going on the UK panel....

I'd say the contenders are:

Alesha Dixon (Looking likely)
Katy Perry
Alexandra Burke (I'm a stan, but for her career's sake NO)
Nicole Scherzinger

The time is running out, so Simon is going to have to make quick decisions imo....

I would love it to be Chaka Khan as I think she would be amazing. Part of me thinks that Kelly might end up coming back (I know she won't).
Realistically it's going to be Alesha Dixon.

I don't get why people are saying Alesha Dixon? I doubt she is doing it, thats all I'll say.


Journalists who seem to know what is going on, on twitter, seem convinced Dannii is back. I personally think they will get guest judges to fill in on some auditions whilst Dannii completes AGT in Australia and they Dannii will come back!

He wont move Alesha from BGT now that the lineup has worked well, and he wouldn't put her on BGT and TXF so I definitely think she'll not be a part of it... she hasn't even been rumoured anyway just people jumping to conclusions.

Simon did both shows; there's nothing to say one judge and I don't think it'd appear as too much as The X Factor won't be on for another three months.

I know I said earlier the UK version needed a bit of momentum rather than a kickstart but now the US panel is sinking in the UK panel looks low key in comparison. Especially if the US version hires big name hosts as well.

Apparently one of the hosts in line for the US X Factor is Raven Symone - the ex Cosby Kid and actress...
Anyway with regards to the X Factor UK, as I have mentioned in previous posts. I would love an old school artist to sign. **Chaka***Cough***Khan

Sorry but Chaka does NOT fit with the demographic that The X Factor goes for. A large majority of the audience wouldn't know who she is.

I'd agree with that list of 'contenders', and I'd also probably add Marina Diamandis in there too, as her name seems to have been cropping up a lot recently. I think Alex is the most likely from my perspective, but I'm also not too sure how much good it would do her, as some peeople seem to struggle to take to her personality, which is a shame as I think she's awesome.

I like Alexandra but I have the feeling the panel needs a bigger name. A panel of Louis, Tulisa, Alexandra and Gary won't exactly whet the appetite.

I think Alex would be a huge mistake. She was fine for that one weekend, but I don't know if I could go a full series of her.
