If The X Factor returns in 2015 which I think it will as ITV have already signed for it and it is still in the top 5 shows on ITV per week. Who would you want on the panel

I think

Simon
Cheryl
Nicola Schezinger
Olly Murs

would work well

I think they need to just keep the same panel. It works and consistency is key. They've had a panel change every year since 2011 now.

One of the criteria of Cheryl returning was getting rid of nicole as they are not friends think Tulisa will replace mel being the only change

I think your right about consistency but has Louis not said he is leaving (but he has said this before). So if he does leave I think Olly should replace Louis

I didnt know that. Thanks for the info

realistically:

simon
Cheryl
mel B
Nicole

I know that's 3 females and 1 male but I cant think of another male thatll do it. olly murs would be good but is too successful/busy to do it I think. Maybe a guy from JLS??? Oritse said that he was building up an entertainment company and also has managed a girlband [albeit a crap girlband lol] so maybe him???

I'll end on a note that ive repeatingly said on here for like a year now - LOUIS HAS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheryl and Nicole would never be on the panel together... Simon will never get rid of Louis...

Simon
Cheryl
Tulisa
Louis...

I don't think Cheryl will be back next year.

Simon
Nicole
Tulisa
Louis

They need to keep the same, no matter if Cheryl sometimes gets on my nerves. It's importanto to exist some consistency and there hasn't been lately in the judges panel.

However, if they really had to change, I'd say:

Simon / Nicole / Danni / Louis

Simon
Danni
Tulisa
Olly

I think that would be fantastic but realistically I think they should just swap Mel for Tulisa.

They definitely need consistency but this years panel is just draining all of the life out of the show. I do think the same panel will be back next year though, they've apparently already signed Mel B and Cheryl seems to have realised that she needs it to keep her solo career afloat. I could see Tulisa taking one of the spots but other than that I can't see any changes.

What I would like is if all of the judges are back, announce it at the end of the series to stop it being drawn out throughout the first half of next year. Those reports are just tedious and it needs some time out of the papers.

I think they should keep the panel as it is unless they can convince Dannii to return; then she can replace Mel and they'll have the 2010 panel back together. It's a risk free move and may attract a few more viewers to see the 'dream team' back together again.

Nicole Scherzy
Mel B
Simon
Louis

Bring back Dannii

I don't think Cheryl will be back either. So Olly Murs for Louis. Danni back and Tulisa. I would love to see Will Young be a judge. Was disappointed when BBC pulled him from The Voice.

Completely new panel of people who actually know something about dots on the page. That was the good thing about Nicole and Gary.

Louis ain't going anywhere, he's like the male Sinitta. I'd like Tulisa back though, preferably in place of Cheryl but that won't happen.

I think

simon
tulisa
paloma faith (she was offered a place this year i think)
Loius

Lol...the male Sinitta???..so, a 51 year old black man that used to date Simon and is now trolling the x factor...???.. Lol...

I would keep Simon, Cheryl and Mel B. But its definitely time for Louis to go, I think Olly could work.

Louis would never be ousted...let's be realistic...

I want Simon, Cheryl, Mel and Tulisa. Louis really does need to go now. He's done eleven series, he's won once and his act is boring.

I think though, this years panel will probably remain.

Other people I would like to see (and will never happen)

Mariah - I think she was great on Idol, incredibly successful and gave constructive criticism. The whole Minaj thing ruined her

Aston Merrygold - I think he could be really good, did a good job on Got To Dance and obviously a success story from the show.

I think the ratings might be the push that Simon needs to actually get rid of him, its been reported for the last couple of years ITV wanted rid of him, but its Simon who has convinced them to keep it.

I think as long as Louis is there, its always going to feel like the same old show, no matter what they do with it. They need to bring in someone more relevant to todays music. Even though Mel's hardly relavent in music today, she is at least feisty, Louis is Louis.

It's all very well saying Louis should go and replaced with X, Y and Z but who says X, Y and Z would work on a panel? And if it's someone who's had experience before who's to say they'll work with the others who are already there?

Removing Simon, Dannii and Cheryl resulted in a spiral which the show has not recovered from. Would getting rid of Louis really see an uplift?
