Who do you think it will be?
Who do you want it to be?

Unfortunately the same people.


I suppose Simon is a necessity, but the other 3 can all go (especially David, but the two ladies got on my nerves this time too).

Simon is fake as anything, but it's his show. Give him new people he can pretend with, and if we're lucky maybe we'll stumble into actual interesting judges, who stick by their real opinions rather than pander to the crowd, who have the guts to tell the joke and kiddie acts to get off the stage, who are willing to tell Ant and Dec to shut up occasionally, and at least one who maybe is younger than 30 for a change.

I'd keep Alesha and Simon, not the other two. God knows who to replace them, Dawn French did Australia's Got Talent though and I'd lov to see her.

If we HAD to keep one of them other than Simon, Alesha would be the best of a bad lot.

But she's still part of that bad lot. Being best of the worst is still being crap.

I'd personally love to see Mel B., the only Spice Girl I find tolerable, but Simon would have to move either AGT or BGT, since they currently overlap too much for someone to judge both (also Mel lives in L.A. most of the time I believe). Also, I know Mel has a strong bunch here who seem to loathe her--which is a shame. The thing is I think Mel would honestly at many points tell Simon to go f*** himself, and she wouldn't be doing it just for the cameras. She's not totally honest on AGT any more than Simon is on BGT, but she panders to the crowd a LITTLE less than most of the other judges on the two shows.

Or maybe they need to go totally outside the pool of "usual suspects". I know Simon's had that backfire on him (particularly on his US shows), but the UK shows really are so stale with the judging. As I said, they need at LEAST one "under 30" judge, and they no longer need one other kind of figure they always seem to have--the David Walliams/Louis Walsh/Howie Mandel figure who's on a Cowell show panel just to be the "nice one" who supports untalented joke acts.

Amanda simon alesha and mwybe Micheal mcintyre

I was going to say bring Michael back - he was fab first time and only left to go on tour

I think it'll be Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams again. I'd like it to be Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Walliams though.

I think they should probably keep the panel the same! This panel weirdly works and is one of the key reasons for its success! The chemistry is good plus they all bounce of each other really well and each judge interacts with an another it's refreshing to see a panel acutely get on really well. One reason that makes bgt stand against X factor I think is it's panel!

Amanda is probably the weakest link so I'd replace her if anyone needs to go. David everyone loves him (although I think he's not been on form this year) and on twitter and and in sense I usually find Alesha and Simon as the actual best judges! They're not afraid to say what they think which I think is good, when I went to see the birmingham audtions Alesha was actually on point with most critiques whereas Simon was quite soft.

I wonder if Simon will bring Piers Morgan back

Keep the panel as it is. I think it's the most balanced and strongest out of all the rtv shows

Ack. I am shocked almost to the core that so many seem to like this dreadful, stale judging panel.

Doubt it. I think he knows Piers Morgan's return would put many viewers off watching.

I would like:

Simon Cowell
Amanda Holden
Catherine Tate
Andrew Lloyd Webber

That would never happen though.

It will probably stay the same.

As long as it's not Piers Morgan or David Hassolhof i'm honestly not bothered.

I think he will have it the same panel, it balance's perfectly and the ratings are really high, Simon wouldn't risk changing it as ratings could go down

Andrew Lloyd Webber?

He'd have to seriously undermine his reputation by being the judge who puts the joke acts through.

Love Simon, Alesha and David but have seriously 'gone off' the Blessed Amanda.
She probably will be back next year.

I like the panel as it is, but if they do change it, I would like to see; Louis Walsh, Paul O'Grady, Sarah Millican and Miranda Hart. I want a fun panel, lol. I doubt they'd change all four of them though, but that's two males and two females I like. I'd add Dawn French and Michael McIntyre to the potentials list too.

I did however say this will never happen. It's just a panel I'd like to see.

Miranda Hart would be hilarious. Doubt she'd have the guts to use the buzzer, though.

I think Digital Spy has a love of trying to fix things which aren't broken. The panel works for the public as a whole; Simon's not going to take a risk at splitting it up considering what happened with The X Factor.

we need superstars - Alesha and Amanda were b listers until they got on the panel and haven't exactly had careers in showbiz- at least David, the Hoff and Mcintyre are big stars..

Neither David Hasselhoff or Michael McIntyre worked on the UK panel, though. David was like a slightly kinder Simon (and two Simon's are not needed) and Michael was too busy pandering to Simon to judge properly. I guess if Simon wasn't there they'd be alright. But choosing A Listers doesn't necessarily work - Kelly Rowland is probably the biggest A Lister they've had on a panel and she was hardly successful here.

I heard Piers could come back

Interesting, since some would say the undisputed lead of The Pussycat Dolls was a bigger star than the 2nd string of Destiny's Child, who Beyoncé disposed of, was.


Simon is trying right now to see if American audiences still loathe him (as they grew to just as much as his own countrymen) by making him a guest judge for an episode of America's Got Talent a few weeks from now.

I think Michael McIntyre was great. They just needed to show more of his comedy (no doubt a lot of it was cut out to focus on portraying Amanda Holden as the new 'harsh head judge'.

David Hasselhoff was terrible, though. He looked pretty bemused most of the time.
