Not so far above it as to 'not appear' on the show, thus endorsing 'said sh1te'.


I don't think you're likely to see eg Bowie etc on there anytime soon.

It might have been, but fortunately I have Sky+ and I could skip it. I *hate* that song sooo much. The lyrics redefine 'pointless whining'.

The results, to see who gets to cry this week as their 'careers' return to manning the till at Burger King. Or in the case of 'Bellamy', wondering which one will lose all their clothes for Nuts/Zoo first.


There should be an ad: 'Sky+ - turns the X-Factor results show into the five minutes of television it is supposed to be'.

This is a fucking joke, right?

She at least has been involved in the business all her life. You don't have to be a multi million album selling artist to know the business or even to be able to sing. However she does have a multi million album selling sister for the record.


After all, how many of you have ever sung in tune yet you feel qualified to know what this act ahould or shouldn't be doing. Simon Cowell on that level is less qualifed than her, and Louis just hasn't got a clue as series after series shows. It's just typical male bashing of the female Judges. She has a CV that more than qualifies her to mentor those acts.


And she is the only judge that always judges the vocal performance only when deciding which acts to vote off as well.

That's pants DJKQ.


This female judge in particular deserves bashing because this female judge sucks. I'm struggling to remember her ever - and I do mean 'ever' - managing any kind of response on XF worthy of interest (either technical or entertainment value). And no, "your pitching was a bit off" or "you nailed it" does not qualify.


Compare Nicole Scherzinger's brief spell on the show.. too good to last.


No - they need Dannii. They need her because she's boring. She's the boring one who sits between The Fool, The Pretty One and The Pantomime Villain.

Syco and Talkback, last time I checked are making millions of profit every year so they probably know better than you I think.


Having said that...what exactly would make someone qualified to judge music....given that it's all subjective in the end anyway, and that most people, with hearing can tell the difference between a good singer and a bad one.


Cowell is head of a sucessful music publishing company - what better qualification than that?

Dannii Minogue presented a children's variety show, acted in Home and Away, and followed it up with a string of minor hit singles. This somehow means she knows more about music and the music industry than Jay Kay?


I appreciate that you're sticking up for the women, and that's all well and good. But let's be honest with ourselves for a minute. The panel consists of two men who know the music industry, and two women who look the part, and are fairly well known.

Hang on...I am not declaring Dannii to be some great performing talent (and nor does she)...but she does know the business. You all conveniently forget that her sister is a mega star....you can't get closer to it than that. And yes JK has no versatility as a singer or song writer and only wears a hat because he's pig ugly. That's a very different thing to saying he doesn't know the business (which I haven't said) because he obviously does. One performs the other works behind the scenes...the two are different things, but both reap equal experience and knowledge.

    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
    • Unless you're 5 years old or have been living in a cave for several decades you can't be for real. I don't believe that you're genuinely confused by this, no one who has access to newspapers, the tv news, the internet would ask this. Either you're an infant, or have recently woken up from a coma after decades, or you're a supercilious tw*t
