So with the X Factor USA looking promising due to the signing of some new judges and high publicity...

What do you think X Factor UK could do to boost it's ratings? ( Due to X Factors ratings drop compared to the years before http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15334946 )

Personally I believe they should sign some new judges too, I haven't been keeping up with any new signings for this years X Factor UK, but I hope so.

Anyways, thoughts?

They need to get rid of Louis Walsh and replace him, and also find a big star to take Kelly's place now she's gone.

They need Shayne.

Absolutely not. Louis Walsh is hilarious and the only bluntly honest judge. He is always up for a laugh. They tried get rid of him once and the ratings dropped and Simon brought him back. The rating increased again. The UK and Ireland are here for Louis Walsh and you just need to deal.

Kelly and Gary were the dead weight last year. I don't mind Gary but Kelly needs to get the hell out of there. Bring in another Cheryl type character.

well now kelly has confirmed she won't be returning for another series they have a chance to sign someone even bigger than she was. after that i honestly think they should leave the judging panel well enough alone, i think the persistent changes to the line-up is partly to blame for the ratings drop

Louis is a must!!

I agree, I love Louis, I miss him & Sharon. Them two were gold together.
Moments like this made X Factor amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIeRUCkUxzY

IMO it's too late. Due to the talent we've had in terms of Leona and Alex, there's a lot of 'not as good as' when a new series starts. They needed to actually let the talent in rather than cutting it.

Hire one of the most famous postars in the world as a judge...

Well, at least there have been more sucessful acts from this show compared to any american singing competition.

!!!!

I thought it is still beating The Voice UK after they aired the blind audition?

My dream cast for X Factor UK would be Simon, Louis, Tulisa, and Mariah Carey.

Adele should join

Do a Special Series with all winners and all the runner-up to see who is the best one, or the one with the biggest public... It will bring them a lot of promo for all of them, and introduce a new judge panel... I'd be here for that...

That's Britains Got Talent, haha.

Hmmm lol this is from october 2011


And they need a big star im ok with tulisa but they need a really famous singer. Kelly was ok but didn't reallly connect tbh.
