Ayda field on xfactor

Is it just me or does she not seem to fit on the panel? Im not sure why she was signed. In saying that I think this may be one of the worst x factor judging panels ever.

They’re getting £10million for their efforts apparently.(Robbie and Ayda)
Her and Simon need to leave their faces alone.
Louis looks like a stoat in a jam jar.

LardLizard · 23/09/2018 11:53

10 million, that’s ridiculous !!

LardLizard · 23/09/2018 11:53

ITV should demand a refund !!

Grin Never heard that one before! Love it!

DW and I think Simon has mellowed. I love it and think he is now doing what he always claimed he was (honest but fair) but she thinks he has wussed out.

We both love Louis and think he is the true honest judge. He gives no bullshit, doesn't try to come up with snappy phrases... he is just honest.

Robbie is the wildcard... his bipolar disorder means you never know what you will get. And his wife... she is just the token overly dramatic and emotional American. It kinda works. What worked best, however, was when Ronnie's dad joined them. He has the club experience and a lifetime in the industry and his one stint as a judge showed that.

LucyMorningStar · 23/09/2018 12:34

I don't understand what qualifies her to be a judge. What are her achievements? What experience in entertainment business or music industry does she have?

Luis or what his name is from 1D is there only to kiss Simon's backside, his little sidekick. No individuality or personality whatsoever. Boring!

ASauvignonADay · 23/09/2018 12:37

I can't help wonder what she actually knows about music when I watch hers. Her comments are very non specific - she doesn't add anything

SleepingStandingUp · 23/09/2018 12:41

I am impressed Louis has voted against Simon, I thought he might just nod in agreement with everything the wise mentor #ays.

Apparentl RW is off on tour henx3 the Sharon replacement so surprised he got the job as he can only do half of it. Surprised Ayda is taking the kids on tour with him given how new the newest one is.

If they were all staying home and filming X Factor then a Nanny on set with the three kids isn't unreasonable

BlancheM · 23/09/2018 17:27

I thought Ayda was Robbie's wife-manager like Sharon was to Ozzy. I'm quite liking her tbf

I like how the X factor seems to show much more talent nowadays whereas before it was more a 'freak show' I'm glad we've moved on from that.

LardLizard · 23/09/2018 20:34

I think they have moved in form sniggering at the contestants due to the voice being a bit more classy, showed them up

Onecutefox · 24/09/2018 00:07

She looks so much like Katie Price now. Don't you find it because of those lips and eyebrows?

edwinbear · 24/09/2018 00:12

I’d be annoyed if she was my mentor. Imagine if you’d got yourself through to find out your mentor was someone with no music experience at all. I’d feel short changed.

ferrier · 24/09/2018 00:16

So the only one on the panel with decent musical credentials is Robbie?

SleepingStandingUp · 24/09/2018 00:33

Not sure Simon's career can be so readily ignored lol.
And Louis has at least been through the process but I can't see him having anyone older than himself so I reckon girls or guys for him

ferrier · 24/09/2018 07:23

Lol - Simon's expertise is in business and management. He knows f all about music or singing and regularly shows this.
Of all the 1D band members he chose Louis who can't sing or harmonise for toffee. Choose Harry or Liam and I'd have respect for the choice but Louis.... ?!

sandgrown · 24/09/2018 07:39

I used to like to see the outfits worn by Cheryl and Nicole but Robbie Williams' wife has no style. I heard their child was born by surrogacy because they were both too busy ? They probably have a nanny.

SleepingStandingUp · 24/09/2018 08:51

The too busy is bitchy conjecture.

She talked about what a long and hard road it was to get here.
A friend commented on how the family aren't all home together that often due to their schedules.

I'd assume from her comment that they'd tried or something had happened after the birth of her son.

His business IS music. So there's nepotism on the panel, he had Cheryl for how long, we know he picks people he wants to spend time with.
I love the Voice but if I wanted a career I'd go on x factor not the voice

catinboots9 · 24/09/2018 09:14

Why is Simon's face so big?

BlancheM · 24/09/2018 09:26

I think his face inflates with heat, which is why he keeps fanning it Grin

SleepingStandingUp · 24/09/2018 09:34

He def looks like he's put a ton of weight on on his face

Susiesoap7 · 24/09/2018 09:40

Don't like the panel
Louis too weak, Pasty clothes, not much of an opinion
Ayda pass
Robbie ok
Simon needs the Botox sucking out of his face! And why is he being so nice and letting an awful lot of crap acts go through!

puzzledlady · 24/09/2018 09:42

I dont even know who she is. I bet it was was in the contract - RW would only sign IF his wife was allowed to. I much prefer Cheryl, Sharon or Louis W! Hell - ill even take Gary Barlow over her!

user1490465531 · 24/09/2018 09:45

The X factor has run its course.
It should of ended a couple of years ago.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/09/2018 11:47

I agree with user531. It's completely lost all its spirit and character. Without sounding like I live the most sheltered life out of anyone past present and future
It used to be a joy to watch. Now I watch more out of loyalty.
I think it's probably had its day.

walchesterweasel · 24/09/2018 11:55

How do they split the groups for the next bit? Is it just ages or is it sexes and ages ?
