Mel B is going to be a judge on the X Factor then...

[Sparklingbrook]

It really is time to put that show to sleep isn't it?

Is she? I definitely can't watch in that case. Cannot stand that woman and her annoying voice.

Couldn't they rustle up someone a bit more industry relevant?

AFAIK it's Mel B, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl 'Biffa' Cole.

What a rum bunch.

Louis Walsh is long past his sell by date too. At least they got rid of old Shazza - she gets right up my nose.

Who gives a toss about what Chezza and Mel B think? or Louis Walsh. People seem to care what SC says because he's got the cheque book so to speak.

The whole thing is just and needs to go.

It sounds like a very tired and creaky judging panel with not one credible artist among the lot of them.

Even The Voice came up with a more interesting foursome.

Yes it's dire, and a complete fix (and yet I will still probably end up watching it, - there is no hope for me )

Ooft I won't be watching it the, can't stand her.

Who would have been good?

Mel B gives me the complete rage, and is hardly current. I don't care what Biffa thinks anyway.

She's been on X-Factor here in Australia for a couple of years, they seem to love her, one of the commercial radio stations signed her up.
She's v annoying.

I've just realised Mel B is the really aggro rude one (I thought it was the other Mel - the vacuous drippy one) I can't stand her.

I think they should have gone for a male lead from a guitar band like The Voice did with Ricky Wilson. Someone like Jarvis Cocker or Alex Turner would be good although I'm sure they'd want nothing to do with the programme. But they could have found someone.

Cheryl Cole and Mel B are just auto-tuned rubbish.

To be fair, most credible artists wouldn't go on something like the X Factor so they have to settle for the likes of Biffa or Mel B.

I stopped watching a long time, and this line up would certainly not make me want to start again

I think you are right angelos. I nearly had a panic attack when Ellie Goulding's name was in the frame. i know she's not everyone's cup of tea but I love her and it would have killed her career IMO.

Just seen Nan fucker is releasing an album. I thought he disappeared off onto a cruise ship full of nan's!

Oh I got it wrong, he has launched a performing arts academy

Who's Man Fucker and why is Cheryl called Biffa?

Our wee pet Chezza has a conviction for assault; she attacked a toilet attendant in a nightclub, classy girl that she is. Hence the nickname 'Biffer' (or Biffa in a Geordie accent)

It's never held her back though....in fact it seems to me that a history of crime and/or unsavoury behaviour is a bonus in today's sleb kulcha.

All they need now is Katie Price and Peter Andre as judges and the programme's shame and Dantean descent into the inferno of shite will be complete!
