The X Factor (Pre-Live Shows)

Is the editing of the audtions really annoying anyone else? They edit in reactions that the judges didnt even give to that act - Their clothes change while the same contestant sings! And they've used the same shots of Louis looking confused and Danni looking shocked every week. Its so obvious, you'd think they'd cover it up more.

I noticed it too, a lot of the same reaction shots. I miss Sharon, I don't think that there is the same chemistry between the judges now than there used to be.

Britney Spears is set to appear on the latest series of The X Factor, according to newspaper reports.

But no, she hasn't fallen so far that she has to audition for a place in front of Simon and co - instead she is expected to make an appearance on the show in December to promote her new album.

The X Factor slot will mark Britney's first visit to the UK in four years and will see her perform her new single Womanizer.

Since last appearing in the UK, Britney has been divorced, married, divorced again, had two kids, been involved in a custody battle for the kids and shaved her head. Phew.

Her last high-profile music appearance was at last year's MTV music awards which was widely criticized due to her sloppy dancing and out of time lip-syncing.

CHERYL Cole reckons she will be mentor to the next X Factor winner — after landing her dream category.

The talent show’s newest judge has already told TV Biz she wanted to coach the groups section after seeing their “brilliant” auditions.

And although show chiefs wouldn’t confirm it yesterday, the Girls Aloud beauty, 25, grinned: “I’ve definitely got the category I wanted.”

Cheryl vowed: “I don’t need to win for me. I need one of my acts to win — and I KNOW I’ve got one there.”

The star had previously said: “I really want to get the groups. There have been so many brilliant groups auditioning.”

But a group has never won The X Factor. Last year, show chief Simon Cowell, 48, claimed he would go all the way with brother and sister duo Same Difference — but they ended up third.

But Simon’s girlfriend Terri Seymour has revealed the pop guru thinks Cheryl is the best talent spotter he has ever seen.

Terri said: “Cheryl’s fantastic. Simon told me, ‘She’s the best judge I’ve worked with, she’s a natural. She just gets it’.”

But Cheryl was relieved when filming of the auditions stage was finally over.

She admitted she’d had to be brutally honest with some of the more deluded wannabes, saying: “I don’t think it’s fair to give them false hope.”
