Last year we had the whole ‘you, the viewer, are the fifth X Factor judge, blah, blah,’ now it seems we’ve all been bumped to sixth, the question is who, oh, who could the new fifth judge be?
This year’s judging line-up will be Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh, Mel B and…?
We’ve cast our eyes into a crystal ball and here are our top 7 contenders.
Already rumoured as a hot contender, sassy Miss O has been a guest
judge on The X Factor before during the audition stages so she knows the
drill..
And hey, Jay Z obviously thought she had the X Factor when he signed
her to his Roc Nation label and with 4 number one singles and a number
one album under her belt, he was clearly right.
2. Mary J Blige
Mary’s got it going on Another
person riding high in the rumour stakes, who doesn’t love Mary? She
came across brilliantly last year when she leant her wisdom at Judge’s
Houses and with over 50 million record sales and nine Grammy Awards
under her belt, there’s no denying that she certainly knows her stuff
when it comes to the record industry.
Anyone who had Mary in their corner would certainly be very lucky.
3. Robbie Williams Could Rob be the one to entertain us on our weekends?
The charismatic Angels singer is no stranger to The X Factor having
been a frequent guest mentor and performer over the years. However, with
wife Ayeda currently pregnant with the pair’s second child, could
timing be an issue?
4. Olly Murs Dear Darlin’, we’d love to see you back on XF
He has been a contestant on the show, a presenter on sister show Xtra
Factor and been a guest mentor at Judge’s Houses, so a full-time
judging role would surely be the next step for hat-loving Ols.
Imagine
all the cheeky banter that he and his self-confessed crush Chezza could
have on the panel together, Louis needn’t be having to worry about
ducking from glasses of water being thrown at him for once.
5. Caroline Flack Could those legs be making a comeback?
Everyone was shocked when leggy Cazza dramatically announced her exit
from Xtra Factor, especially when only last year her role was increased
to include backstage coverage on the main X Factor show.
This would be
the ultimate Wild Card.
6. Steve Brookstein That’s honestly his new album cover
Did we say Caroline Flack would be the ultimate Wild Card? Sorry,
that would have to be Steve Brookstein. He won the original series way
back in 2004, but swiftly fell out with Simon Cowell and has since
become the show’s unofficial viewers’ figures keeper.
Well, Cheryl and Simon fell out quite dramatically, but that now all
seems to be water under the bridge. Could this be the year of the olive
branch? And who better to lead an army of underdogs in the wildcard
category than Steve, who Against All Odds, has continued to make music.
7. Harry Hill With his chum Simon
Quite possibly the biggest X Factor fan on the planet – hey, he did
write a west end musical about it after all, comedian Harry would
certainly bring the fun factor.
Also, considering their ‘similar’ dress-sense, could he and Si challenge Mel and Chezza in the weekly frock-off debate?
