X FACTOR; OLD JUDGES V NEW

This year we saw the X Factor being completely revamped. There is no doubt that Kelly and Tulisa have brought fresh girl power to the panel, but have we lost out on the fashion front? Time to find out whether the class of 2010 or 2011 can boast the X Factor style crown...
This is how it's going to work: I am going to rank the X Factor judges in order, if you come first you get 8 points, second gets you 5 points, third gets you 2 points, and last gets you... nothing!

I'll add up the points at the end to give you the winning woman and the winning series.

Let me know your thoughts, do you agree with my verdict? Who's your X Factor style queen?

WEEK ONE - Saturday

Danni  (left) Cheryl (right)
 
Tulisa (left) Kelly (left)
1st place - Kelly Rowland

Kelly wins this round because she dared to be different. When it comes to the first of the live shows you have to stand out and make a statement and she certainly did just that. Look at these four women, and who immediately draws your attention? Miss Rowland!

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii takes second place because her dress is simply stunning. The white lace L'Aton Couture dress is elegant and unique.

3rd place - Cheryl Cole

Miss Cole looks beautiful and there's nothing wrong with what she's wearing, the problem is Dannii and Kelly stand out more. Nevertheless, Cheryl deserves points for her shoes alone! The singer recently said she plans her outfits around her shoes and she certainly wasn't lying.

4th place - Tulisa

Poor Tulisa! She looks beautiful and if you passed someone looking like that on a night out you'd certainly stop and stare... but for me the outfit is too safe for the X Factor.

WEEK ONE - Sunday



1st place - Dannii Minogue

Wearing one of her own Project D dresses Dannii looks flawless. The Aussie's hair and makeup compliment her dress perfectly.

2nd place  - Kelly Rowland

The former Destiny's Child star pulls out all the stops in this feather floor length Roberto Cavalli gown. Miss Rowland was about to become X Factor enemy number 1 for sending Amelia Lily home... so it was imperative that she at least looked good whilst doing it!

3rd place - Cheryl Cole

I love Cheryl's dress and her shoes, however her choice of hair and makeup lets her down in my opinion.

4th place - Tulisa

Oh no... Whilst Tulisa's metallic dress is bang on trend and her heels are too die for, like Cheryl - her hair and make up also lets her down. So what gave Cheryl the edge? I hate to say it... but Tulisa looks slightly tacky.

WEEK TWO - Saturday




1st place - Cheryl Cole

Miss Cole rocks two of last years (and this years) favourite trends; jumpsuits and fishtail plaits, and she does it to perfection.

2nd place - Tulisa

Yey, finally Tulisa gets some points on the board in week two. The N Dubz star comes out of her comfort zone in this glamarous gown and it pays off.

3rd place - Dannii Minogue

Minogue looks beautiful in this Victoria Beckham gown, but it feels like a step down from last week.

4th place - Kelly Rowland

One word - boring.

WEEK TWO - Sunday



 1st place - Tulisa

Tulisa was guilty of playing it too safe in week one, however she certainly didn't fall into the same pattern in week two. She looks simply magical in this white tutu dress, and her hair and makeup is just as beautiful.

2nd place - Kelly Rowland

Hello sex appeal... if you've got it flaunt it!

3rd place - Dannii Minogue

There's no one better at looking classy then Dannii Minogue.

4th place - Cheryl Cole

I love Cheryl Cole's dress it's cute and playful... but hold on... Haven't we seen those shoes before? She wore those last week - not impressed!

WEEK THREE - Saturday




1st place - Cheryl Cole

The Geordie girl wins this one for showing that you can be sexy subtly with the cut out waist panels. It's also nice to see her in another colour apart from black.

2nd place - Tulisa

It was rock week and X Factor judge Tulisa showed us that she sure knows how to rock out in style. The chain embellished maxi dress is exciting and edgy.

3rd place - Kelly Rowland

Whilst the Destiny's Child star looks stunning she gains appraisal mainly for the fact that she's wearing a Topshop dress.

4th place - Dannii Minogue

I personally think Dannii looks stunning, it's a shame that she is last place but it is for the sheer fact that the other outfits were more exciting.

WEEK THREE - Sunday


1st place - Kelly Rowland

WOW. This look was my favourite look of the series. Kelly teamed an exquisite armour style body with a black sheer maxi skirt, creating the perfect combination and an outfit to die for.

2nd place - Cheryl Cole

The popstar made a fierce statement in a metallic mini dress by Kristian Aadnevik, what wins it for me is the fact that the little number is teamed with such bold heels.

3rd place - Dannii Minogue

If there was a prize for the cutest X Factor outfit then Dannii would win it hands down with this Dolce & Gabbana floral dress, she looks natural and refreshing.

4th place - Tulisa

I love the colour of the dress but unfortunately Tulisa just looks uncomfortable.

WEEK FOUR - Saturday




1st place - Tulisa

There's no way anyone else was winning this week; Tulisa proved that she doesn't take herself too seriously by having fun in a catsuit for Halloween.

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

The Aussie certainly brought the glam factor with her vibrant red dress and rockstar hair do.

3rd place - Cheryl Cole

Miss Cole looks cute and chic in this Jonathan Saunders number.

4th place - Kelly Rowland aka Alexandra Burke

Previous X Factor winner Alexandra Burke stepped in for the ill Kelly Rowland on week four, sadly Kelly lost an act this week and fashion points.

WEEK FOUR - Sunday



1st place - Cheryl Cole

I am not madly in love with Cheryl's dress and admittedly in other weeks she could of found herself scoring low points, however she takes a risk and stands out.

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

Mingoue sparkles yet again here however I am slightly unsure about the fit of the dress, nevertheless you can't deny she looks great.

3rd place - Tulisa

Sadly the only thing scoring Tulisa 2 points here is the fact that Alexandra Burke looks worse.

4th place - Kelly Rowland aka Alexandra Burke

You would think Alexandra would take her time on the panel to stand out, however her dress is confusing and boring.

WEEK FIVE - Saturday




1st place - Kelly Rowland

Kelly's back to show Alexandra how it should be done, her Asprey diamond necklace makes her outfit a show-stopping one.. and it wants to for £125,000.

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii opted for a Philip Armstrong gold metallic dress. By keeping her makeup simple and opting for nude heels she lets the dress speak for herself and plays it just right.

3rd place - Cheryl Cole

Cheryl you look great but erm... I think you've got something on your head?!

4th place - Tulisa

You're on the UK's most watched show, why are you wearing such a boring outfit???

WEEK FIVE - Sunday



1st place - Cheryl Cole

Cheryl looked fresh faced and absolutely stunning in this gold cut-out bodycon by Bodyamr.

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

Hello yummy mummy! Ms Minogue looked sexy in a lace Dolce & Gabbana dress.

3rd place - Kelly Rowland

To be honest I don't love Kelly's dress, but it fits beautifully and would certainly turn heads.

4th place - Tulisa

For me the dress doesn't quite work, there's something missing. I would of perhaps liked to seen her edge it up and have hair scrapped back in a dramatic up-do.

WEEK SIX - Saturday



1st place - Cheryl Cole

It seems gold is a winning colour for Cheryl as she picks up another 8 points in this Roberto Cavalli gown.

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii looks absolutely divine in her grecian style dress, if only I could give another 8 points.

3rd place - Kelly Rowland

The Destiny's Child star is bang on trend with this masculine ensemble. I can't fault what she's wearing, but is it something you'd wear for the X Factor? I'm not so sure.

4th place - Tulisa

Tulisa's dress is stunning but yet again I feel like something is missing. In my opinion she quite often fails to compliment her outfits in the right way.

WEEKEND SIX - Sunday




1st place - Kelly Rowland

Her dress is dramatic and romantic and I absolutely love it.

2nd place - Cheryl Cole

We all thought Cheryl had gone bonkers when she appeared on the X Factor with her hair like this, however looking back she merely proved she was fashion forward as hair bow's are the in thing now. Nevertheless, whether you like the hair or not you can't deny the fact that her dress is sensational.

3rd place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii spices up a plain leopard print dress with a rockstar quiff.

4th place - Tulisa

I actually think Tulisa gets her hair and makeup just right here. Sadly, I don't like the dress.

WEEK SEVEN - Saturday



1st place - Kelly Rowland

This Sass & Bide dress is electric and fresh and is certainly worthy of 8 points, another winning dress from Kelly!

2nd place - Cheryl Cole

The dress is intriguing, intricate, and absolutely beautiful.

3rd place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii looks pretty but her plain brown maxi dress simply can't compete with Kelly and Cheryl's exciting choices.

4th place - Tulisa

I sound like a broken record... but BORING.

WEEK SEVEN - Sunday



1st place - Kelly Rowland

I love the petrol blue colour of the dress. I love the pleats. I love the mesh panel down the middle. I love Kelly's hair. I love her shoes. I just love this outfit - can't fault one thing.

2nd place - Dannii Minogue

Minogue's dress is show stopping and any other week she would have picked up the full 8 points.

3rd place - Tulisa

Tulisa's dress is cute and she makes a bold move by wearing contrasting blue shoes.

4th place - Cheryl Cole

Cheryl's hairstyle lets her down on this occassion I'm afraid.

WEEK EIGHT - Saturday



1st place - Dannii Minogue

Dramatic and daring; all eyes are on Dannii this week.

2nd place - Cheryl Cole

Cheryl sticks to what she knows best and she does it well.

3rd place - Tulisa

Edgy and bold, Tulisa picks up the last of the points.

4th place - Kelly

I like Kelly's dress but I don't love it.

WEEK EIGHT - Sunday



1st place - Cheryl Cole

Cheryl is at her fashion best here, gold is certainly her colour - flawless.

2nd place - Kelly Rowland

Kelly looks like a fairy tale princess in this elegant dusty pink dress.

3rd place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii looks stunning and her hair is a winner.

4th place - Tulisa

Dare I say it; borderline tacky.

WEEK 9 - Saturday



1st place - Dannii Minogue

Dannii's Aurelio Costarella dress is romantic and elegant. The corsage gives the outfit an extra edge and makes it a winner.

2nd place - Cheryl Cole

This Stephanie Rolland dress is playful and sophisticaed wrapped up in one.

3rd place - Tulisa

Once again I'm not sure about her hair and accsessories but the dress alone is stunning.

4th place - Kelly Rowland

Great dress, but more like sexy office wear rather than X Factor glam.

WEEK NINE - Sunday



1st place (8 points) - Kelly Rowland

2nd place (5 points) - Cheryl Cole

3rd place (2 points) - Tulisa

4th place (0 points) - Dannii Minogue

WEEK TEN - Saturday

2nd - Kelly Rowland

3rd - Cheryl Cole (not keen on the hair)

4th - Tulisa (oh dear lord...)
