So, will any of the (past/future/current) judges be able to live upto Cheryl's popularity & success & become the nations sweetheart? Or will that level of fame never be replicated?

I thought that Tulisa could have done it but apparently she became more hated than she was...

How do you mean WILL ANY? Well, we already have one who's lived it up... but it seems some of you just can't take it.

Nope.

Team Cheryl.

I know who ure referring to

I agree to be honest

I think he meant a UK native person... Nicole is more like Dannii Minogue, or Like Kylie who has a tons of hits but never been called UK Nations sweetheart, because she's Australian.

EDIT: Oh nevermind, I was wrong apparently

I mean... 2 boys in top 3, the whole nation is entertained with her Scherzyctionary, she's shown that she's an amazing person, amazing mentor... people in UK adore her, she wins every online poll by far... and let's wait for her new music to show that she'll slay the charts in 2013.

Tulisa had a chance, but then came the Misha B incident and the infamous tape which people make fun of her for. Sadly, I can't see anyone living up to Cheryl at least for a while now.

Gary and Nicole could. Nobody wants Tulisa and Louis wont release anything () but people actually like Gary & Nicole so i could see them doing it

I'm talking SALES and popularity

Imagine if Louis did

Well Nicole had no X Factor promo in 2011 in UK but she still got Gold certification of Killer Love, with singles selling over 1 million sales (4 singles combined)... and Cheryl was on The X Factor for 3 seasons, she had all the promo she needed, plus she was in UK's very popular girl band... having said that, we only have to wait and see how will Nicole do with her second album in UK.

Nicole is not an it girl like Cheryl was, I agree she fits really well in the UK and doing much better than she did in the US but Cheryl level... nope. Tulisa will never, she's the chair next to flop Louis and still pretty common, 1 hit single but have you seen them alburm sales?

FFTL alone sold over a million

As I said... 3 years on the panel against 1 year on the panel... and she's really close to becoming UK's sweetheart, if she isn't already.

Just curious, do you actually live in the UK?

Right There sold more than 1 million alone.

Well that song is amazing.

But AML didn't do very well, you see, the year she left The X Factor meant the year her album sales went dooooown. And Call my name was catchy and great too, that's why it sold so much.

Let's see what will Nicole do after one year on the panel with Boomerang and her second album.

In UK? I'm not sure, I think it sold around 500k, but it sold over 2 millions worldwide.
