best decision for the panel I think Would be great to have an all brit panel again. She is VERY blunt however it is needed. I will be watching to see how she mentors this year on the australian version, because last year she struggled.

There's never been an all-Brit panel

She was awful...

How much of what Mel B said to the auditionee's when she was pouring venom was actually her opinion and how much was just reading from the script?

in what way did she struggle? I have to be completely honest and say the only clip i saw of the australian show was her singing with the other judges. did the contestants not take her seriously?

so who would you replace louis with?

[pembo2004]

god no she was too harsh

[Zone_Out]

YES YES YES YES YES she should of transferred to the UK show from the Aus show
Altho I do feel they'll keep the panel the same next year as its had too many changes with two series idk you never know they might change again but i can't see it.

[M@nterik]

She was terrible. Just a contrived act.

Oh, great, another desperate grab at publicity. Put someone more unlikeable than Simon Cowell on the panel and let the nation talk about the show!

Definitely not tuning in next year, in fact I may give this year a miss too as I'm already disliking what I'm seeing.

You are me.

I know the speculation for the judging panel begins early, but not normally after the first week of auditions!!

I do think that Mel B would be a very good full-time judge, although I do worry that she may lack the emotional empathy (which every other judge including Mr Cowell has had) to connect with viewers.
