I think it’s fair to say that interest in the X Factor judges has waned somewhat since Cheryl Cole left.
I personally won’t be watching this year and many of you have expressed the same.
The Simon Cowell money-making machine rolled into London this week with Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland walking the red carpet dressed to impress.
Kelly wore a Versace Spring 2011 multi-coloured striped two-piece which showed off her super toned tiny waist.
The former Destiny’s Child singer accessorized her look with black Charlotte Olympia pumps, a Sass & Bide cuff and Lara Bohinc jewels.
N-Dubz singer Tulisa greeted fans wearing an Alexander McQueen butterfly jacquard mini dress.
Her cap sleeve dress was paired with navy YSL Tribute sandals.
Love it or leave it?

FC babe,I’m not sounding like a hater but I think it’s a joke Tulisa is a judge and Im not going to be watching the xfactor anymore..the McQueen label should blacklist her from wearing their clothes
She was very critical of the show which I find strange, but money talks
You know that story, “I hate that show, it’s so awful (until I can make money off of it)”.
Either way she looks terrible and boring in that awesome dress.
Kelly needs to BURN that wig. But the clothes on the other hand? Yes! Love them!
Why does it always feel like Kelly Rowland is playing dress up? She never looks comfortable.
I agree. Never looks comfortable…her smile is so empty and vacant.
Tulisa may be wearing McQueen, but the vibe she gives off is so trashy. She has made everything she’s worn so far look a lot cheaper than it is.
I’d say not since Cheryl Cole left, but since Dannii Minogue left. Dannii has a much better sense of style than Cheryl ever will.
Yes I’ll miss danni and her J’aton couture:(
Yes I will miss J’Aton too
whilst I appreciate both of their efforts I have to say I’m really not impressed. I was shocked to read that Tulisa’s dress was McQueen, I would’ve thought that it was some cheap copy, Lipsy trying to do high-end…
I hate Kelly’s shoes. They look so dowdy compared to how sexy her dress it. That look deserves some fun shoes to go with it!
I kinda like Tulisa’s look. I feel a bit bad for her, its been reported that the producers have given her a 70000 budget to get rid of her chavvy style. I dont think anyone should be forced into a different look that isnt them.
The only reason to check out the X-Factor is for Gary Barlow and see how the panel is.
I had opinions FC, but all those were ruined when you said “Love it or leave it?” and now you got Ice Ice Baby stuck in my head.
Dang you FC. Why’d you have to get a terrible yet addicting song stuck in my head?
…lol…you’re funny
I love the Versace two-piece! But I wish she had worn the runway heels.
Ditto. The cuff works however.
I think they always look like they are trying too hard to be fashionable. It’s not so natural. Shame! I miss Cheryl’s smiley face and her beautiful clothes… although a bit chavvy lately. I don’t like Kelly or Tulisa yet… sorry!
I was at these auditions yesterday and Kelly comes across well on screen… her hair is sooo shiny and her body is banging! Tulisa, on the other hand,got into an argument with a contestant…yeah…
The show is definitely missing Simon Cowell, don’t think it will do as well to be honest…
Tulisa does look like a bit of a bully, so not surprised
If i remember correctly Cheryl Cole was also once considered a ‘chav’ and had terrible style and X-Factor did wonders for her, so I wouldn’t be so quick to write off tulisa yet lol.
By wearing McQueen & YSL she’s obviously TRYING, so who knows where her style could go in the future….
On the other hand maybe this will mean that the x-factor to be more about the contenstants then their self absorbed mentors.
BTW love kelly’s dress hate the shoes, wig and make up
Sorry FC, my interest waned since Dannii Minogue left!
ps love your blog!!!!!!
thank you A x
This show will flop. Kelly or Tulisa will never ever live up to Cheryl’s beauty and style.
I love Tulisa’s dress and even think she made a good shoe choice so I wonder why this doesn’t look as good as it should. I wish I could put my finger on it.
I feel the same. All the elements are right but…..mmm…can’t figure it out
I think its cos she looks trashy. overall trashy vibe.
bring back Dannii and Cheryl. I’m gonna miss the sat & sun evening unveiling of the outfits!
I agree, maybe its because she looks slightly orange and her hair is too severe like that which I’m not so sure suits her? Also Cheryl Cole always looked chavvy too…
LEAVE IT -I’m not really feeling either of these looks.. they look awfully contrived!
I will watch the show because the truth is no matter how much couture Danni or Cheryl wear the truth is neither of them can really sing where as Tulisa & Kelly can both SANG & have proven track records in the music business. That’s what counts at the end of the day!
I’m actually looking forward to seeing some true talent judge the show this year!
yet more of those midriff/waist showing dresses make me cringe. but then again maybe i am just a teeny tiny bit jealous that i dont have a toned stomach haha.
both of them look bad though. tulisa makes that dress go from mcqueen to high street.
I have no interest either anymore in the show or these two judges…
