Nicole seems to have the midas touch.. James Arthur now a few years later she comes back and mentors another X-Factor champion.

Will she come back or leave? if she leaves, she will leave on a high.

What about Sam Bailey?

Sharon was her mentor

LOL!!!

Yep, I realised that as soon as I posted it.

I don't think she's been at her best this series, but she seems to care about her acts the most.

In some ways I hope she does go.

If she comes back next year she needs to have either the overs or groups catergories seeing as she always seems to get boys or girls

Nicole isn't still my cup of tea. She was okay on the Gary Panel, but exhausting sometimes (shwhat...). This year I didn't feel any chemistry to one of the other judges with her. She was lost in my opinion. Maybe that's the reason why she put it in an all-about-me-show.

All in all I wouldn't be sad if she didn't come back next year.

She can be abit much and please oh please can she stop dueting with contestants are trying to overshadow them, yes we get it she can sing! But Jahmene, James, Sam and now Matt (the latter 2 especially) were considerably disadvantaged. In the James v Jahemne season she was both their celebrity duet! Seriously, that's SO boring. Can we can now summon up any star power at all..

My preference still stands:
Saara and Robbie 'angels'
Matt and Sam Smith 'writing'
5AM and Spice Girls 'Spice Up ur life'

But yes all those artists said no, but it would have been fab. I don't understand why the show doesn't have star pulling power anymore. Maybe they need to make the acts who come on to promote their songs sign agreements! in trade for dueting.
