";s:4:"text";s:5112:"Anyone who can make Simon laugh like that is a winning judge in our eyes.We’ll be honest – we weren’t convinced about Alesha when she was first signed up as a judge. He’s sharp, never holds back, has a wicked sense of humour, he’s not afraid of showing he’s in a bad mood, is nearly always fair, he’s seen it all and, above all, he knows his stuff.Si’s provided us with more funny moments than we could possibly mention in this… In actual fact, it’s Simon who helped our winner bag the spot. How do you put Simon in a ranking of talent show judges WITHOUT putting him at the top? Dancing dogs, magicians and silhouette dance troupes just don’t lend themselves to this kind of feedback.This was a tough one. And the revolving door of female mentors on The Voice has seen Jessie J, Kylie and most recently Rita going up against the men (Ora's replacement is yet to be confirmed although various names have been mooted – Nicole Scherzinger and Jameela Jamil among them). In fact, their more modest bromance was one of the reasons we loved Piers on the show so much.The only bad thing about David Walliams being on the panel is that it means Michael McIntyre isn’t. Well, now it’s their turn to be judged as we rank ten series of judges from worst to best…His bullish Britishness was perfect for a show all about British people and he was also never afraid of looking the fool and had an ideal schoolboy double-act with Simon. old old and and and do do do you you you have a job? David Walliams and Simon Cowell are both judges on Britain’s Got Talent (Picture: PA) David’s been a judge on the show as many years as Alesha – five – … It was basically like getting to watch him do stand-up every Saturday.Last of all, let’s not forget Piers gave us one of the funniest moments in BGT’s ten-year history. Carlo Carlo I'm I'm I'm I'm. What's your your name? Alesha is now a firm favourite on the panel and while she might have only made it to the seventh position in our list, it’s not a mean feat considering her competition.David’s been a judge on the show as many years as Alesha – five – but it’s his effortless humour and camp chemistry with Si, followed by his ability to show a super serious side and get all choked up at the drop of a hat, that really wins us over.Louis has made it onto the panel as a guest judge twice – once for series four when Simon was ill and again in series five when David Hasselhoff couldn’t attend auditions as he was in pantomime.He was only on our screens for one series back in series five but he still had time to make an impression.Series six saw Simon joined by Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams. But when Amanda was on maternity leave, Carmen was brought in.When Michael sat on the panel for series five, we laughed every single week. There’s no beef (that we know of) between the pair or anything juicy like that, but Si’s hardly going to hire two comedians as judges, is he?For three far too short years we were lucky enough to have Piers be the one to judge British talent alongside Amanda and Simon – our other two favourite judges.Piers, we thanks you for your service.Our stand-out moment has to be when he buzzed off a young wannabe-comic for saying his favourite comedian was Harry Hill.Simon Cowell said at the time it was because the format ‘didn’t suit’ four judges. That’s no longer the case though, eh, Simon?He’s also incredibly genuine when he’s giving acts his feedback which only makes us love him even more.Aside from his Union Jack jacket, our favourite thing about David was his straight-talking and love of saying ‘no’. But that’s probably because for Louis to shine, he needs to be able to say ‘you remind me of a young Bryan Adams’ or be among Irish singers. We’ll get onto that in the next bit….We’ve also seen three guest judges step in to help out for a few series here and there when judges have been ill or unavailable. Air guitar, anyone? name? She’s the girl-next-door whose long service on the show only makes her a better judge each year and BGT wouldn’t be BGT without her.Turns out the answer was a big, fat yes.
