Leona Lewis As X Factor Judge?
The Daily Star reported today that X Factor winner, Leona Lewis, is being lined up as the next X Factor judge, as a replacement for Louis Walsh.
A source told the Daily Star: “There are a number of names in the frame to replace Louis, and Leona is one of them. There’s been talk of getting in an American, like Jessica Simpson, but she’s not so big over here.
“Leona’s a much bigger name in the UK and to have her as a judge on the show she won in such style the year before is a real rags-to-riches story. She knows what it’s like to appear in front of judges. Leona could add some insight into what makes these people tick. Executives felt it was time to inject some fresh, young blood - and she could be just perfect.”

Ludicrous! Simon Cowell made such a big deal about Leona being the biggest start X Factor ever produced.
If she became a judge, that would signal her singing career was over before it began. I’m all for a bit of gossip and idle speculation, but the Daily Star are stretching it a bit with this one!

This sounds very far fetched indeed.
A young girl with no real experience behind her. Who just happens to have been Simons biggest reality TV winning export.
Let her have her career first and then ten years from now she’ll be in a position to judge on a reality programme.
Or is Simon finally admiting they are having problems with this girls extremely timid nature and lack of stage charisma. Should be no problems with the voice but something is not right at the moment. Its taking to long to release her album.
No album release date in reasonable sight? Missed the mothers day gift market and the Easter gift market. Its going to need some really expensive marketing to shift once the master is complete in the summer.

Actually John Barrowman would be a good judge on X factor, he wouldnt stand any nonsense from the BIGGEST HEADED ONE namely Simon though, so that will rule him and anyone like him out.In fact I dont know why Simon just doesnt sit there and judge on his own, he has NO respect for anyone elses thoughts and feelings.Also judging from the x factor tour and Ive been to all the shows, sorry but LEONAS stage presence is as dull as dishwater.Great voice but boring to watch.Rod.
