When you’re billed as the best performer to grace the world since Michael Jackson, one has no option but to bring it with every performance.

Another year, another judging line-up for Simon Cowell’s X Faxtor UK.

On this occasion, though, we’re all for the latest batch of bottoms who’ll sit at the famed judges table.

Pop diva Nicole Scherzinger leads this year’s panel, which features a returning Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh. TV maven Sharon Osbourne makes a sensational comeback to the show leaving in 2007. The Osbourne matriarch replaces an axed Tulisa, who is having a few issues of her own at the moment. Sniff sniff.

The quad begun shooting the audition phase of the show, which is in its tenth season, today. Look out for The X Factor UK when it returns to screens later this Summer.

Randomness: After a wildly successful run on the show last year, we hope Nicole manages to leverage the exposure against her musical endeavours. The way each year seems to be a case of musical chairs, it’s best that she “get’s it while it hot”.

Your thoughts?

When she gets it right….she really gets it right.

Of course, while eight years in the game should have seen her hit a 10 and stay on it at all times, there’s no denying that Rihanna performances are a joy to watch when well executed.

Need an example?

It shouldn’t be this way, but the voice and their use of it stands as one of the weaker points of many of today’s ‘new girls’.

Sure, while the likes of  Rihanna and Katy Perry may put down a mean track in the studio, one can oft depend on them to slip and slide once their tasked with performing the same cut live.

Now, as the world continues to hail Ariana Grande as the exception to this trend, check out her cover to Mariah Carey‘s David Cole penned ‘Emotions‘- released to fans last year but seemingly overlooked by the casual listener…until now.
