I am so angry with the X FACTOR

Yes I am. How dare they sack Dannii?! Then to add insult to injury, hire that N-Dubz chav girl to replace her? I am most miffed and I will henceforth scrub Simon Cowell off my christmas card list.

Also, if Mel B replaces Chezza, it will resemble a saturday fish market when her and Tulisa start moaning about the acts.

I know that most of you on MN don't care about the X Factor but I do.

Did you have such a fit when Cheryl was "brought on" to the show?

I hadn't realised she'd gone, I'm not really a fan.

At least Cheryl could almost string a sentence together.

Listen, I can have an opinion on someone. It's not illegal, you know?

LadyOfTheManor · 15/05/2011 23:16

Oh I agree. I think they're all shit.

Icelollycraving · 15/05/2011 23:19

Danni has gone because she is doing agt. They changed the dates for x factor so that Gary Barlow could do it. They basically chose him over Danni rather than Tulisa, think Simon has lost all interest in uk.

OH so they're trotting Gaz out to keep the housewives interested after giving Dannii the heave-ho? Wily foxes...

Yes you can Bupcakes, but you claimed things that are not even true about the girl and were unnecessarily nasty.

WorzselMaamage · 16/05/2011 00:10

It's been shit for the past 3 years and bgt is worse, it's an embarrassment!

I'm not surprised SC has lost interest in the UK.. Compare American Idol with X Factor and you'll see why!

Mumatron - I've met someone with a baby called Dappy. And they've got N Dubz embroidered on the pram cover!

LadyOfTheManor · 16/05/2011 08:06

AtAmber, Oh my dear Lord. Where do you LIVE?

AtAmber · 16/05/2011 08:42

LadyOfTheManor - Merseyside. They were clients. They seemed very proud that they'd given this poor baby such an awful name.

EightiesChick · 16/05/2011 08:54

Icelollycraving has nailed it. They would have known the dates months ago but they've been changed to accommodate Gary Barlow going on the Take That tour.

Tis a real shame to lose Dannii, who was my favourite judge, but let's be honest, the cards have been on the table all through last year's run. Simon had gone off her so it was only a matter of time. She has her bloke, her baby, and the AGT job so there are plenty of compensations.

As for Tulisa, she doesn't sound that qualified to do it, but I can't blame her for taking the job if it's offered - I would.

They do really need a 'different' female judge to balance up the panel though. Don't think Mel B will work.

Plumm · 16/05/2011 08:55

I'm confused - who's judging X-Factor this year?

Nancy66 · 16/05/2011 08:56

My DP worked with Tulisa a while ago - really liked her. Thought she was a really smart cookie, talented and hard working.

"Yes you can Bupcakes, but you claimed things that are not even true about the girl and were unnecessarily nasty."

What have I said that's untrue or even that "nasty"? I said she seems to have no problems being linked with gang-related crime (Faiser, one of the other N-Dubz has been pulled in for firearm possession more than once, for instance.), I said she isn't as established as DM (which is true) That was about it. Are you her mum or something?

Gary Barlow, you say?

I might have to carry on watching after all...

Yes, me too stresshead.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 16/05/2011 10:40

I think Gary will make a good judge. He's very talented, even if you exclude the singing and focus just on the songs he has written for other artists.
Who is the 4th judge? Louis, Gary, Tulisa and...?

Yes, Gary is more like it. I feel I can take his opinion seriously, like I did with Dannii. I know Dannii was a failed musician but she was by far the best judge. She didn't seem to get too involved in the politics and she cared for her acts rather than just swanning in to rehearsals in between holidaying on Mustique or wherever.

wannaBe · 16/05/2011 11:08

can't believe people take this all so seriously.

I mean really it's just a show hosted and judged by plastic people to find more plastic people to mold into the pop stars of the future, except most of them disappear back into obscurity quicker than they got there... alexandra burke? joe what's his name, matt from last year... where are they all now?

The only thing dannii was famous for was being Kylie's sister - hardly a claim to fame is it?

And she was hardly a princess - outing a contestant on live television a couple of years ago really showed up her true colours...

psisedriteoff · 16/05/2011 11:10

she is just lovely

Sarsaparilllla · 16/05/2011 13:17

can't believe people take this all so seriously

Or believe everything they say in the papers about these programmes is true

OliPolly · 16/05/2011 13:49

I like NDUBZ so Tulisa will be a great choice.

She can sing unlike Cheryl and Dannii for that matter
