You are so wrong.

Dannii, although two years younger than Kylie, was a singing sensation on Young Talent Time in Australia. She was a weekly regular and her sucess totally overshadowed Kylie's early acting (i.e. pre neighbours).

Dannii has been a recording artist in Australia since 1989 and in the UK she has had 11 number one dance hits. She is a 'dance' artist.

I agree that she has not hit the megastardom that Kylie has over the past 20 years, but her record stands alone.

Give her a break.

Remember just because you haven't heard of something someone has done doesn't mean that they didn't do it.

I may be the only person here but personally i cannot stand Kylie Minogue i much prefer Dannii.

Also i think Dannii is a great judge. People say that she has bad song choices sometimes but so do the other judges. On the first week Simon admitted that he had given a crap song to Scott i think it was.

People say Dannii is a horrible judge but whos 2 acts were in the final last year?!?!?!

Gareth Gates would be a stupid judge. He hasnt been in the public eye for a few years and i dont think he knows enough about music to be holding some elses fait in his hands. Much like Cheryl. She is a horrible judge. If you have no talent yourself then how can you be a judge?

Simon and Louis are both sucessful managers and have been doing it for years. Dannii has been singing for years and just because people dont know her songs doesnt mean she has sung them. Like Trinity said she is a dance artist and has had a lot of songs out in the past.

What has Cheryl done for the music industry? Bring out rubbish song after rubbish song. That always sound the same. Im sorry if people like Girls Aloud but i just cannot stand them.

I think if Dannii leaves and Cheryl is still there next year i wont be tuning in.

I would like to see a member of the general public been a judge.. after all it is us who buy this music, us who vote for these people so why can one of us be a judge?

Failing that.. bring on the HOFF :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Rhydian Roberts has claimed that Dannii Minogue is being treated unfairly in the press this year.

The former X Factor runner-up spoke out in defence of Minogue following recent criticism of her mentoring skills and use of plastic surgery.

"I think people lay into Dannii too much," Roberts admitted. "She's got quite a lot of depth, she's very intelligent and I think she's pretty damn hot."

Asked about new judge Cheryl Cole, he replied: "I don't know Cheryl so well, so I can't really say. I'd be happy if either of them asked me out on a date. Everybody's talking about Cheryl, but remember that Dannii is older than Cheryl, so I think Dannii looks pretty damn good."

Roberts also revealed that he remains in regular contact with Minogue, who was his mentor on the ITV1 talent series in 2007.

"Me and Dannii text each other once a week," he explained. "It's mostly flirting. There's always a little bit of that going on between Dannii and myself."

Charlotte Church has reportedly questioned Cheryl Cole's suitability as an X Factor judge.

According to New! magazine, Church told a friend that she cannot take Cole seriously when she watches the ITV1 show - because she believes the Girls Aloud singer is untalented.

"I watch The X Factor in awe," Church is quoted as saying. "Cheryl really has no idea that she can't sing at all - she tells people the strangest things about their voice when they are in fact great and far better than her."

The Welsh star allegedly vowed to put her long-time rival to shame when she tries her hand at judging on a forthcoming TV project.

"There is a new format being worked on and for once I will be able to show those who have no idea how to judge," she explained.

Cole's X Factor co-star Louis Walsh recently claimed that she is "getting away with murder" on the programme.

I dont compare Danni to Kylie, I mean as an artist I prefer Kylie loads, but as a person from what Ive seen the show I just dont like her, its something I cant explain that isnt Kylie

going to see Laura perform in a bit, then we have tickets to the aftershow party, where there's meant to be "celebrity guests", i'm hoping it's some other x factor contestants.

Ruth and Alessandra has been consistantly good from the beginning i hope they get to the final.

Alexandra and Ruth are the best voices even on the Hero track i really hope they are in the final

How was the Laura thing last night then Bryyy?

yeah it was good, she took forever to come on but when she came on she was great, she sounds so much better in real life than on the show, it's a shame she was booted out now, but at least I can say I saw her before she made it big, cus she said we'll be seeing more of her in 2009.

she sang some good ones "put your record on" "signed, sealed, delivered" "crazy" by Knarls Barkely, "chasing pavements" and she sang "American Boy" by Estelle, that was really good.

I' keep checking on youtube to see if people have uploaded any of the songs yet, but not yet! Will post if I find any.
