I think he could actually be a better judge than Simon, as Noel really won't care if he is liked or not. He would also be really honest with his own acts IMO. However is put downs could be the best part, I would love to hear his opinion on the panel at the moment. Here is Why Noel would be brilliant on X Factor -

The reliably acerbic Noel Gallagher is again in the frame to become a judge on The X Factor. The former Oasis guitarist has topped Simon Cowell's wish list for years, and last week the producers made him an offer exceeding £2m. Money well spent, should he agree to do it. Noel takes no prisoners when evaluating other musicians, so when it comes to inventive put-downs of the more challenging contestants, he won't need a scriptwriter. You can't help wondering what the younger Noel would have said about the older Noel appearing on The X Factor but one thing's for sure, it wouldn't have been pretty. Or printable. Below are a few of the insults we can print.

On Jack White: "Jack White has just done a song for Coca-Cola. End of. He ceases to be in the club. And he looks like Zorro on doughnuts. He's supposed to be the poster boy for the alternative way of thinking… I'm not having that."

On Lady Gaga: "Twenty years from now, will we listen to Lady Gaga? No. She might think she is making a stand for the freaks and the weirdos. But they're not going to have any decent music to play, are they?"

On success: "You don't have to be great to be successful. Look at Phil Collins."

On fame: "Nothing bothers me more than when groups like Pearl Jam and Nirvana whine and moan and complain about life and being famous. Let me tell you, being famous is great! If you hate your job so much, why don't you ****in' go work at a car wash or McDonald's or something?"

On Radiohead: "Have I ever had a moment where I sat down and thought, 'Do you know what this calls for? This calls for Paranoid Android! Get it on!" No. I've never had that moment."

On Scissor Sisters: "It's music for squares, man. They're huge in England, but there's no accounting for bad taste as far as the English are concerned."

On brother Liam: "He's rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He's the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."

On Mark Ronson: "He wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else's. Mark Ronson needs to learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune."

On Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong: "I'm not having him. I just don't like his head."

On the Kaiser Chiefs: "The worst thing about them is that they're not very good. They play dress-up and sit on top of an apex of meaninglessness. They don't mean anything to anybody."

On Coldplay: "The Man has taken over the world. All the kids have to look up to now are bland, faceless trainee police officers.

He's never going to do it... he's said so numerous times. Even Cowell just yesterday said that he wasn't interested.

Whilst it may be entertaining, he would be forced to bite his tongue most of the time... and Noel is a good critic, but as a mentor he would be useless.

I don't want him as a mentor, but writing a weekly column summing up his "views" on that weeks performances which is then read live to the acts on the Results Show would be very much appreciated!

It's not really... it's fairly accurate. Noel wouldn't touch it with a bargehole, the reality is he's too good for it. And Sharon can't really offer it much.


Changing judges every series isn't going to change anything, at the moment it's too predictable and they need to look at it's format.

"Simon previously teased that the new X Factor judge was a “gamble” and would appeal to younger and middle aged viewers"


Surely that should rule out Sharon?
