Victoria Beckham is reportedly set to replace Louis Walsh on the X Factor next year.
If former Spice Girl goes ahead with the show she will land a £1 million deal to replace Walsh, who has openly admitted he's no longer enjoying being a judge.
X Factor creator Simon Cowell said: "I'd love to judge with Victoria. She is very witty and can poke fun at herself. I think The X Factor is the best opportunity for the public to see the real side of her."

I'd rather see her on Strictly Come Dancing myself.

It would be nice to see her again but I'm not sure that would be the best thing for her. It'll just lead to the inevitable "what does she know about talent?" cries like when Halliwell did Popstars: The Rivals.

More importantly unlike with Geri she wouldn't just be judging the contestants, she's have to be given one group to mentor, pick the final contestants for the shows herself and then mentor them throughout each show picking songs etc. Might be worth it just to see a Sharon Osbourne Vs Posh Spice fight but I didn't think Sharon was doing another one. |

I would have thought it was more likely she'd be replacing Sharon, and she'd probably manage to come out with better comments for the people who aren't in her group. She doesn't have much/any experience of managing artists, but the contestants are managed by whole teams, and if 19 are involved next time, there will probably be a few people she can turn to!
I know Geri was criticised on PS:TR, but she did bring something to the table, and it would be good to have someone on the panel who has been there, done that.

Sharon would probably be gutted. She hates all women younger and prettier than her, in fact she hates all women period because she's secretly afraid they'll expose her as the dowdy cow she really is.

Seeing how the Spice Girls are "friends forever" ...... not.
What about getting rid of Simon Cowell & Sharon "hypocrite" Osbourne as well & replacing them as mentors with Mel C & Geri "she made Paula Abdul's analysis on AI seem intelligent" Halliwell !!!!!!!

I think they should introduce a fourth category and a fourth judge... maybe singing puppets...

In order for her to mentor a group, surely she'd have to actually had some semblance of commercial success in her own right? I'd be gutted if I got through to the finals only to find I was being looked after by her. They'd have more chance with one of the fat ones from Atomic Kitten.

I heard an interview on the radio with Louis Walsh today. He sounded pretty miffed when he heard Posh was supposedly replacing him and said as far as he knew it was rubbish. He said he'll stay for the next two years provided he gets the right deal. I'd just stop watching if she was on it. As if we don't have enough of her "The Real Posh n' Becks" progs on the box as it is.

I haven't seen Mrs Becks on Telly for nearly two years. And yet that seems to have been all too soon still. I say get Ozzie Osbourne to mentor a group instead of Louis. Him up against Sharon would be kick arse television... though clearly Simon would be taking a backseat... |

I heard a different version of this story: that Victoria is being considered to be a judge on the next series of 'Pop Idol', which is likely to be back next year.
If she were to do 'The X Factor' and the act 'mentored' by her were to win, I imagine that 19 would take responsibility for them, giving Fuller an even bigger slice of the pie than he just 'won'.

See that sounds a little more plausable - rather than actually have her take responsibility for a group on x-factor. I imagine she'd do better at a more comments style role ala Geri in Popstars.
Still has diabolique written all over it.

If the judge was Victoria, they could introduce a category for 'Group Members Who Contribute The Square-Root of Sod-all'. "She stands at the back pouting... She mimes to the backing track and gets a grand total of three seconds of autotuned 'solo'... She's got the country's top producers crapping themselves over the day they get lumbered with polishing her turd of a debut solo single... She inexplicably turns up at the opening of a bowel more often than the rest of the group put together... SHE'S got the X Factor!" |
