I think it'll be cool, she has been in the business for a long time so at least has some experience as to what it's really like, rather than just being management.

So now its ...

Host- Dermot O'Leary
Judge 1- Simon Cowell
Judge 2- Sharon Osbourne
Judge 3- Sinitta
Judge 4- Dannii Minogue

Well, it looks like Dannii is confirmed, but Sky News are still touting an unknown male judge yet to be announced?

Yeah they say that on the teletext as well, only just read it properly. So looks like Sinitta isn't a judge after all ...

Although I'm NO Danni or Sinitta fan, that's not strictly true. Plus Paula Abdul wasn't exatly a Madonna Hit Machine either...

Well I much prefer Danni than Sinitta .. as others have pointed out, Danni doesn't exactly have a massively successful career behind her, but she's 5 years younger than Sinitta and I think someone that will appeal to younger viewers more than Sinitta. At least she's had some recent-ish chart success. Plus, if they do like last year and like AI and bring on big guest stars, then Danni's presense could mean a Kylie appearance.

BTW, I don't see them have 3 females judges. So if the Danni story is true, then the Sinitta story is false. I just hope its Randy (or someone else) and NOT Chris Moyles.

I could just about accept Dermot being the new host, but Danni as the new judge, is a joke. I suppose Simon is hoping to have a Kylie night, and we all get to sing-a-long with Kylie.

Dannii's had lots of hit singles?

I think she's much better qualified for judging singers than Geri Halliwell and Sharon Osbourne.

Really? I'm no fan but Geri has had a good career not a good singer but she has sold millions and had a hell of alot of #1's I'd say that is much more qualified than Dannii.

i doubt Sinitta will be a judge, she's a judge on Britain's Got Talent.

God im praying its not chris moyles, But it wont be sinitta if its danni, cause it has been confirmed by ITV it will be a male and female joining. And besides every paper that is saying its danni, there no direct quotes from simon or danni, and even ITV. When dermot was confimred it was ITV who said it first so where are they ...

I think Sinitta is a red herring.

BTW Randy has already commented on being the new X Factor judge - verifying the rumour. Has Danni?

i think sinitta was shouting her mouth off to try to get the gig, i don't see that she would get grease and this though. Dannii will be good as will Dermie and hopfully moyles will add something different to the mix.

Not many people have been the hit machine that Madonna has been but Paula had 6 number 1 singles in the US and two multi-platinum selling albums, won grammys etc. Makes her qualified in my book.

Danni won't be controversial enough for the show. No way will she be good enough. Not outspoken enough and who is she to judge basically.

I thought the panel for Britain's Got Talent was Cowell, Piers Morgan, and Amanda Holden?

I think Dannii is a much better choice, she's had more hit singles than you probably think.

Don't forget, we all know what The X Factor is like, they're probably putting out all sorts of rumours and counter rumours just to get people talking, and keep the show in the news.

Sinitta was apprently an April's fools joke I think... I reckon the other judge will be Randy Jackson... Both the other replacements had been well rumoured until confirmed and Randy has been well rumoured and worked with Cowell before.

Anyone is better than Louis Walsh IMO! And I shall stop watching if Chris Moyles is a judge! He was a frickin' contestant on the Celebrity version! And I hate him with a passion!

Chris Moyles isn't a real singer. He is not a manager/Choreogrephor he doesn't have any musical talent. If they get him they might as well have Me as a judge. I'd know more than him.

A bit of background for those who dont qualify her as a credible judge nor having many hits.

- She's had 9 Top Ten Hits in the UK,
- In the UK, she has achieved eleven consecutive number one dance singles, becoming the best performing artist on the UK Upfront Club Chart,
- The rest reaching the Top 20 and the other two releases reaching the Top 40, with none of her
- Her debut album reached Number 3 in the Album Charts in the UK,
- She's also been nominated for her sold-out performances in the threatrical version of Grease.
