Simon said he wants them so its pretty much 99% certain

Contract negotiations the only hold up now.

Utterly bizarre and inexplicable as it is, I think it's safe to say Cherly has somehow managed to get her grubby little mitts on the prize. Baffling as some of his recent decisions have been, I don't see Cowell making comments like this unless there really is something behind them.

How it's happened I genuinely can't fathom, because half of the people she'll be judging will be more established than her, but hey, at least it might remove her from our screens this autumn. If there's one thing that's guaranteed to kill a UK career, it's the public feeling like they've been abandoned for the US. Ask Joss Stone, Natasha Bedingfield or Tony Blair.

Dannii shall finally be the QUEEN of the judging panel.

apparently the panel is Simon, Cheryl, Paula Abdul and LA Reid- not officially confirmed by Fox, but looking likely

 

that looks bland tbh and I probably won't be watching- I honestly can't see it being that successful with Cheryl there as she just isn't a big enough name

 

on the bright side, Cheryl and Simon are now gone from the UK XF :D

Apparently Nicole Scherzinger is the host, which is SHOCKING considering she has more talent in her little finger than Cheryl Cole.

How on earth can Nicole be hosting when Cheryl & Paula Abdul will be judging the contestants?! What a complete f*** up X Factor US has turned out to be.

The Voice has a much better panel..

Is Dannii definitely staying on the x factor?

I heard that the host was Steve Jones...

 

I can't imaging Nicole hosting, if its true though i can't see her being much better than Konnie Huq TBH.

Its supposed to be Nicole and Enrique hosting!

this is from the daily mail - judginf trio of simom, cheryl, la reid and paula - are they trying to accomplish the DULL factor?

... I'd like to see them try and topple American Idol now :lol:

Oh dear lord... Not Paula Abdul! She was drunk/high every week on AI! :lol: And Nicole/Enrique hosting? Nicole is one of my fave singers atm, but I don't think she'll pull of hosting. Enrique will be a bit of male eye candy (:P) as Cheryl is the only other totty, if nothing else. He might be a bit of dull choice. I also heard it might be Zac Efron/Vanessa Hudgens (ages ago though, doubt it's true). Of all the rumoured hosts I like Steve Jones the best. He's a great presenter and he deserves the chance at cracking America - and we should apologise for forcing Cat Deeley on them by letting them borrow one of our good presenters :kink: Steve's fit too (not that that's a contributing factor :P). Overall, I'm just dissapointed in the panel - with all the interesting rumours flying round Simon goes for Cheryl (as much as I love her, I'd rather keep her in the UK) and his longtime 'good friend, deffo not having an affair or anything' Paula Abdul... Hope the host is Steve Jones to make up for it! I'm excited for the programme and the talent it will (hopefully) produce though! Plus it'll be interesting to see how it affects the UK version if Simon/Cheryl can't do it - I guarantee we'll get a miles better panel (even if the awful and totally dire Louis is on it)! I just hope Dannii stays! :heart:

Happy to be rid of Cheryl at long last, and Simon :lol:

 

Now, Dannii shall reign supreme on X-factor UK :D

Good riddance!

 

... but how did she manage to get herself a US visa, despite having a criminal conviction? :o

 

Maybe she missed this bit out on her Visa. Shame on her.

Now, Dannii shall reign supreme on X-factor UK :D

 

 

Queen Dannii will rule the world! :wub:

 

 

Say it girlfriends.....mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmm :smoke:

Mel B will not be on X Factor UK as she is on the Australian version alongside Guy Sebastian, Ronan Keating and the newly confirmed [as in this morning] GODDESS Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

 

 

I would have preferred to have NatBass on our panel alongside her releasing 1000Stars.

I'm surprised the Aussie one is still running, wasn't its ratings dire?

I think Robbie Williams is the only person with a big enough personality to fill the Simon Cowell role. Lily Allen would probably be a good replacement for Cheryl Cole too, it would be a nice change to have someone who isn't completely brain-dead.

Well according to one 'source' ... Simon Cowell has confirmed that Gary Barlow is the only one to have signed a contracts. It looks like Alesha (Yawn) Dixon could be another judge.

 

If so - is Alesha being a little disloyal to SCD - or have they sacked her because she was rubbish as a judge on that.

 

Kath

Lily Allen would be AMAZING. Can't really see her doing it though

I've heard its either Frankie Sandford or Tulisa from N-Dubz
