The X Factor

The X Factor

x factor - judge louis walsh is patronizing Ireland

The other day, I asked my x factor visitors why people hate x factor judge louis walsh so much. One brave fan, wrote the following in response:

More to the point… Why are there people who DON'T hate Louis Walsh? He's a vile little man:

- He chooses his own acts depending on their potential voter base, not their talent. A mediocre Irish band, for example, will be chosen over a decent band from any other country so that he can then remind everyone from Ireland that, hey, he's Irish! So are his act! EVERYONE in Ireland should vote for him, because this is a show about where you come from– OH WAIT.

- If there's a boy band on the show who isn't managed by him, then they're automatically "not as good as Westlife". On a related note, anyone who sings a song Westlife have covered are also "inferior". Hell, any opportunity to bring up Westlife will be pounced upon and milked.

- He responds to criticism with childish "NO, YOU" responses. Watch any episode of the show and see how many times he makes a "OH SIMON, YOU CAN'T CRITICISE MY ACTS BECAUSE YOU'RE UNFASHIONABLE/OLD/CAN'T SING. LOL" comment. On a related note, whenever someone makes a snarky point towards him (usually in regards to his sexuality), he also responds with "NO SIMON IS TEH GAYZ! NOT MI! LOL EVERYONE LAUGH AT SIMON!111″.

- He's a spiteful, egocentric douchebag. 'Nuff said.
