It looks like I'm in the minority as I will actually miss Sharon. They should just keep to the original format, with three judges.


Not just you; I'll miss her too. Just a shame she can't bear Danni! I do agree though that it should have stayed Simon - Sharon - Louis rather than add a fourth judge.


I can not stand that Danni Woman, I think Sharon was right, last year. Lets be honest lou was a lot better than other man He swapped with last year. He was right up his own backside that dancer bloke,

Has anyone else Mist the point???

Sharon was in GLASGOW a month ago doing auditions, so she will still be in the X factor


Today's Guardian reports that no filming had been completed with the judges yet.

I believe there are auditions before the auditions with the judges.

Yes there was a big audition round this year in order to actually get to the judges. Normally it happens on the same day as filming, but they decided to do it differently this year.

You don't think that all the applicants go before the judges do you ? There were 200,000 applicants last year.

There is a round of auditions in front of producers, with those that will a) make good telly or b) have star potential put through to audition in front of Cowell and Co.

The fact the X Factor website has the headline 'Sharon in Quit Shocker' proves it's a stunt. Rolling Eyes

Cowell apparently wants former Spice Girl Mel B to replace Osbourne she is said to be "in talks" with ITV.

So did she quit because they wouldn't employ her?

Hopefully it's just Simon, Danni and a new third judge - I don't think 4 judges really worked.

Sharron really isn't a loss to the programme now - after all her biggest success related to the show is bloody Andy Abraham. She obviously wasn't interested last year - and was only in it for the money this year. The right decision I think.

(though it's no surprise if it's yet another publicity stunt).


Sharon is a huge loss. Most publicity revolves around her and X Factor thrives off publicity. No Sharon means no controversy means no publicity means deflated viewing figures.

I think now would be a good time to give Louis the boot and bring in someone else and revert to the three judges format. I think the age should be raised back up to 16 too.

Her biggest success is Brenda Edwards from series 2. Shes been a huge hit in the west end off the back of the show.
