With the new season of The X factor judges are almost entirely new in both the usa and UK versions. Judge simon cowell, who is no longer a judge in the UK version, makes his debut as the US version judge.

The X Factor judge is the key reason people are tuning in

Joining simon cowell for the first time is LA reid, nicole scherzinger, and long time american idol judge paula abdul who reunited with the creator, and the reason people watched american idol.

The X Factor occasionally uses special guest judges

thexfactor.com feels strongly about the wrong doing that went on when thexfactor judge cheryl cole was fired, and replaced by the hideous nicole scherzinger as the newest addition of the judges.

cheryl cole, has nicole scherzinger beat in many categories such as beauty, sex appeal, dimples, better smile, better hair style, and  better poignant comments and it leaves fans around the world guessing, why didn't the x factor producers edit judge cheryl cole out of the usa auditions stage, if they were going to replace her?

Was the x factor judge cheryl cole to sick to judge?

While it is true, that the x factor judge cheryl cole suffered a sickness last year by contracting malaria, on a stupid whim of an idea by derek hough (dancing with the stars), to take cheryl cole on a holiday vacation to africa.

The x factor judge Cheryl cole's health was not mentioned as a reason for firing her as an xfactor judge, which leaves us wondering was the real reason her strong geordie accent? Accents can be corrected, and with what little we actually saw of cheryl cole, she was a superior judge to nicole scherzinger.

the x factor judge and creator simon cowell plays chess with his reunion with paula abdul

 A very important chess move by simon cowell was when the x factor judge Paula Abdul reunited with her long time nemesis Simon cowell, in a long overdue reunion that was made for TV. The chemistry developed over several years on american idol, will prove important, to get the TV viewers to visit and stay to see familiar faces.

the x factor judge la reid may be a racist?

The x factor judge LA Reid, was first thought to be a reverse racist, only wanting to work with black singers and groups, and only animating himself into head bobbing, and hands flaring during an african american performing on stage. The jury is still out on this judge named LA reid, but we will be watching closely.

the x factor judges go from judging to mentoring

the judges have double duties, because part of their job description for employment with the x factor is that they also mentor. Nicole Scherzinger was given the older contestants to work with, while Paula Abdul was given the groups. LA reid was given the boys and Simon Cowell given the girls.

Traditionally, in the UK, the groups do not end up winning, but play very well to niche audiences, mainly to young girls who form fan clubs and teams of fans who vote wildly for their heartthrobs.

The girls and the boys are the usual winners, and the older singers stay near the end, but eventually fall, due to a lack in voting. Susan Boyle changed everything about voting for an older singer, and who can end up winning a reality TV show talent competition. Beyond that, Susan Boyle also went on to outsell most of her competitors and become a real celebrity. the x factor judges will receive help from the voting public, when it comes time to make cuts, and in interviews with paula abdul, she alluded to the fact that x factor judge nicole scherzinger cries much more than any other x factor judge. Each one of the judges will be critiqued by The X Factor.com fan site.
