Posted April 3, 20187 yr Apparently Simon is the only judge returning :o I wouldn’t think that would be true as surely Louis at least would stay (although I thought that before 2015). Cheryl in. Lmao if that part is true, her return in 2014 did nothing to boost ratings and why would it this year :lol: What I miss is the EXCITMENT that used to come from X Factor. Obviously they’ll never get back up to the levels of 2009-11 but last year with no sing off and the eliminations straight after the performances felt so dry and boring.
April 3, 20187 yr I really hope it’s true so that Nicole can move away from it. They’re reporting she’s been fired but with rumours of PCD reforming, she’s probably too busy to do X Factor anyway. I think it should have a year away to make people miss it. For me, Strictly is the one to watch in the run up to Christmas - X Factor has lost it’s.. X Factor?
April 3, 20187 yr I always find it odd when it comes to Nicole leaving they always word it that she got fired. When the judges only sign on for a series at a time.
April 3, 20187 yr It’s always just to sensationalise it, plus it’s Dan Wootton so there may not be anything true at all. The way they’ll spin it is Nicole out - Cheryl in but there were whispers late last year about PCD reforming so she probably had no intention of returning this year.
April 3, 20187 yr https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/59555...favourite-2018/ According to The Sun (I know), the judges in the running are: Craig David, Louis Tomlinson, Cheryl and Kylie Minogue.
April 3, 20187 yr I’m not convinced any set of judges will rejuvenate the ratings. They’ll stick around the 4-5 million mark no matter what happens.
April 3, 20187 yr Louis Tomlinson... Really? :drama: Craig David is quite inspired! Well he has the beat voice and solo material out if them!
April 28, 20187 yr Author http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/the-x-factor/...ns-2018-series/ Room auditions axed. I'm not that bothered tbh, I was so excited for the room auditions to come back in 2013 but they still had a backing track so it didn't have the same feel at all of the old room auditions :(
April 28, 20187 yr Yeah I'm not that fussed at that actually! I much prefer room auditions if we take them in the old sense, but with the backing tracks it just kinda feels like a suppressed arena audition with a weird muted atmosphere, so they might as well just go back to the whole hog.
June 7, 20187 yr https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/mu...s-36987701.html Louis has quit, and Sharon will only appear in the live shows. Nicole is also being replaced. So, only Simon will remain with three new judges. Edited June 7, 20187 yr by WhoOdyssey
June 7, 20187 yr I doubt Louis quit he was pushed. In all his recent interviews when asked about the X Factor he kept saying he has a contract.
June 7, 20187 yr The London auditions begin filming on 18 July, so hopefully we find out who the new judges are soon.
June 7, 20187 yr I think it's worth putting a bet on Tulisa - her press coverage has noticeably increased in the last month which historically is a sign...
June 7, 20187 yr I think it's worth putting a bet on Tulisa - her press coverage has noticeably increased in the last month which historically is a sign... To be honest, I think if they bring anyone back it will be Cheryl. I would quite like to have 3 all-new judges though.
June 7, 20187 yr I'll be surprised if it's Cheryl as she's signed up for The Greatest Dancer on the BBC (also produced by Simon Cowell)
June 8, 20187 yr Sharon only joining in the live shows might mean she's like Mel B in the last Australian X Factor series, she got to pick one from each of the other 3 categories who missed out on the live shows (they had under 25s, over 25s and groups) as a sort of "wildcard" judge. That'd be a good twist although merging the boys and girls who are the two most competitive categories usually could be a bloodbath :lol:
