N Dubz Star Tulisa Contostavlos has been confirmed as a judge on Series 8 of The X Factor.
When the ITV Show returns in August Tulisa will be joined by X Factor vetran Louis Walsh, Take That frontman and music producer Gary Barlow as well as Destiny's Child and "Dilemma" singer Kelly Rowland as the judges.
Kelly is thought to be the replacement for Dannii Minogue who quit earlier this month, Tulisa Replacing X Factor USA Judge (Or Not!) Cheryl Cole with Gary replacing Simon Cowell
There have been months of Speculation of which Tulisa was reportedly out of the running due to her swearing at her screen test but Tulisa then confirmed she hadn't even been approached by the ITV1 Show
We Asked some opinions from some of Showbiz World's Viewers.
Miles Pearce said "I miss Dannii, But Tulisa should be good, I'm Just glad Cheryl and Simon are not back!"
Jess Oates said "I'm Not Happy! I think a lot of people will Lose interest in it also because people were like Dead fond of Simon, Cheryl and Dannii, So I think it will be less popular and I Just think its a crap line up."
Kevin McStravock Said "Well I think its an Excellent panel of Judges. I may be a bit annoyed at the unfair Exit of Dannii Minogue But I can Forgive the Producers with the inclusion of Kelly Rowland who was always my favourite of Destiny's Child and Really Kelly is taking over from Dannii"
On Digital Spy's Forums Sad_BB_Addict said "Looks Good to me, I think Tulisa will be much better than people are expecting."
Vanilla101 Added "Tulisa is actually a very Level headed and articulate kind of girl. Plus she writes her own music and knows a lot about the behinds the scenes type stuff of making music so she will be very good there. She will also pull in a lot of Tween Viewers."
Bexmil89 said "So for once the panel actually consists of people who can actually sing (apart from Louis, as ever) A Refreshing Development, Give it a few weeks and it will be 'Cheryl Who?'"
Hammersfan66 said "How many years exactly has Tulisa had in the business? How many hit singles - less than the fingers on one hand. She may be nice etc etc but will turn off many of the over 30's who do not have a clue she is, Bad Choice."
The X Factor Auditions Start in Birmingham tomorrow with Matt Edmonson co hosting The Xtra Factor with someone yet to be announced.
