With contestants as young as 14 and Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Sinitta and  Dannii Minogue as judges I don't think the next series will be up to much.

I think 14 is too young - plus they've set an upper age limit too (I think it's 50), which for me goes against the whole point of the competition.

ITV have 'rested' Soapstar Superstar. I reckon Michael Grade thinks it's too lowbrow.

Shame, because I thought with Dermot hosting it would be good. Also I did not know about the upper age limit which I think will spoil it too.

Now I read the judges are Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Danni Minogue and Louis Walsh.

There are always too many sob stories. If you can sing brilliantly but had a happy childhood and live in a nice house, don't bother auditioning - come back when you've been in care, your parents have been killed in a horrific accident or you've lost a limb...

i've been extremely disappoinfted with the talent this year. i've think they've finally exhausted the UK's talent resources.

And a lot of them aren't even amateurs. Leona Lewis had been a drama school poppet for years, and that opera singer Paul Potts had done concerts in Italy! So where's the 'surprise discovery' of talent? The most distinctive sound this year has been that of the barrel being scraped.

During the auditions, there was a terrific little black boy aged about 15. He had an amazing voice. I hope he's still in the contest. I haven't watched for a  few weeks as I've been too busy.

He isn't - he got down to the last six boys, but Dannii Minogue didn't put him through. A major mistake.

I read Danni went on a picnic with one of the contestants then he was eliminated from the comp.

Well, I think he's got a great future ahead of him and may be it will be better for him not getting through because winning the show seems to pigeon hole people into a highly controlled pop career that potentially makes them very rich but probably not very fulfilled. A more varied career would suit him better, I think.
