Yes, it's back in 3 days with 3 new judges joining Louis, Tulisa from N-Dubz, Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland.

Three words:

Hope it bombs.

This.

Used to enjoy watching just the auditions but even they were spoiled by bringing in the audience. Completely unwatchable.

So did anyone actually watch this then?

Only one person has any hope of winning, and that's Janet. She had a beautiful voice, but I think she might sound too much like Ellie Goulding for people to vote. I mean, she sounded exactly like her.

George is hilarious.

I'm really taking to Gary as judge too.

I saw some of this. I like the new judge line-up, will be interesting to see how they mentor the acts that get through.

Janet was alright, but she did sound a lot like Ellie Goulding. Loved it when Dermot told George off

Janet was brilliant, so talented and so down to earth, had seen her at an interschool talent show before so it was no real surprise.

I am going to make the effort to watch the auditions as they are the best part. I hate how they do the editing to make the audience look really judgemental!

However I think the new judges are a lot better than the old ones - also glad they've got rid of Simon.

Janet was very good but she was too similar to Ellie Goulding - And Ellie's career would pretty much be as good as over I think if Janet won. Saying that, there's still plenty of auditions to happen yet!

I didn't like Kitty's attitude. What Kelly said was so true - If she becomes too cocky then she'll be out of the competition pretty quickly.

He might well return later in the series, though.

Don't forget, he always wins the show in some way (well, at least according to UKGameshows.com...)

Well hopefully Simon will return at some point.

You sound a bit like Mark there.

I didn't see it cause I wasn't expecting it to start last week. I'll catch up with it today and watch the other one on Saturday.

it was ok i mean i miss simon but at least gary knows what hes talking about he didnt say a right lot though ? i mean i am a massive take that fan anyhow have been for a lot of yrs but gary is the talented one , but apparently when they get to the bootcamp stages and they in house they going to start filming it so big brother or what ? i hope they dont coz that,s so bad and sad , the judges do seem ok though its all about the talent though isit ? should be interesting though ?

There's a few really interesting acts tomorrow night including Misha who is this year's token big soul singer.

I thought I wouldn't like the show with the new judges, but I think they're (mostly) alright, although Gary Barlow seems to be trying a bit too hard to be Simon Cowell. I'm not sure whether this year's shows will throw up anything that hasn't already been seen though.

By the way, DoND's Daz (from Feb 2006) featured in the preview clip at the end of last week's X Factor, so presumably he'll be in tomorrow's show.

A couple of good'uns on it tonight. I really liked Craig, Misha and The Keys.

And I recognised a couple of people in the crowd.

Misha was the best

The groups were awful until The Keys came on! Guess there is hope yet...

Some good ones, but the first one though...he won't get further than Boot Camp

The first guy could be a drag act, he just sounds like a woman. 6/10
Derry was good but would work better in a group. 7/10
The Keys were good but a bit old-fashioned 7/10
Craig was fantastic, a breath of fresh air 9/10
Misha was for me, the act of the night, really unique, loved her rap and she had bundles of stage presence 10/10

yeah misha was great she will get far in the comp i,m sure of it i will miss it for a couple of weeks now but hey i,ll soon get bk in to it..

The judges now know what category they have got.
