I think she was brilliant as a judge on the show, she gave brilliant feedback, im not sure what the problem was, she did great, she seemed to be really interested in all the acts, and wasn't biased.

Big headed, presumptuous, career killing. Is that enough?

Let's be fair to her, it was her first time and this is nerve-racking. For a first-timer, I thought she presented herself quite well even though I have gone right off her now

I didn't see the big deal? IMO people were just looking for a reason to hate her, she said more of value in that episode than Louis or Tulisa did all season.

I don't understand, I thought she was a bit hyper but did very well! ok.com was hilarious! Apart from that, what did she do wrong? I only saw her being kind, funny and honest, she actually reminded me a bit of Dannii.

In your opinion maybe, career-killing - NO, she's working on her third album with big producers again after HOH failed to set the charts alight which I'm not going to try denying. So I wouldn't call the stint as career killing.

To be fair it was her first time and I thought she did a great job, the only one the panel that actually gave strong critiques to the contestants.

Well, she has to get it right on this new album otherwise her singing career will be over

Can someone please explain why ok.com was so offensive, because I really don't get it?!

I thought she was really good. I really don't understand/get why people didn't like the OK.COM. I thought it was really funny

I think the average viewer at home found ok.com a bit disrespectful to Louis and dare I say a bit "ghetto". I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, as after all Louis had been rude about her previously. But most people wouldn't have known that.

I thought her guest judging slot was fine. She was a bit too hyper in parts, especially when critiquing Kitty and Craig. However, on the other hand if she'd been too quiet or subdued, people would have branded her dull. I think she also deserves credit for being the first judge to say the truth about Frankie.

I didn't think she wasd being disrespectful, I just thought she sounded like a d!ck tbh... and then basically became a form of ridicule for her

However I didn;'t actually mind her as a judge as a whole - she did give more informative feedback/ critique than Louis Walsh has done in 9 series

I do think that appearance substantially damaged her career.

I thought it was acceptable what most people aren't aware of is that Louis has constantly been slagging off Alexandra bringing up repetitive references to how "Jls are doing much better than the winner of that year" and how they are the true winners. I would have responded the same way, to be quite honest.

I thought she went on and on, she seems to love the sound of her own voice. Just found her quite annoying...sorry. Although the ok.com part was hilarious and respect to her for poking fun at herself and going out in an 'ok.com' t-shirt. From the moment she won, and grabbed the mic from Dermot talking in this weird affected faux-American accent, Ive found her a little much but this judging role was the next level, it was all slightly OTT. Sorry.

It was always a lose-lose situation for her. If she was too quiet and nice as pie, people would have branded her boring and pointless.

Isn;t the point of being a talent show judge, to speak your mind, tell the acts their good points, what they have to work on. And also bring some personality to the show. She delivered in all 3 aspects, so I think she was just doing her job IMO.

This tbh. If people listened, they couldn't get mad, because she well...told the truth. Irritating or not she didn't actually DO anything wrong. People here are too touchy. It's funny, those watching abroad (I was on other forums) were shocked with the UK reaction, they didn't see the problem. I suppose people came with the daggers really. She didn't actually lie, Frankie couldn't sing, Misha needed to play the game, Sophie was pitchy and Kitty was cabaret NOT a popstar. It did damage her career though, but people are touchy here.

I think it did too but I really don't know why. I liked her as a judge and remember preferring her over Kelly by that point. I don't understand the backlash she got. Her stint on the live show was better than all of this years guest judges (Nicole included).

Like all her comments, it was utterly meaningless and inane

Everything she said on the show had a point. I don't know what people love to hate the girl. Sad really.
