The amount of melodrama in the show I kind of like how he subverts it. But then he goes and says everyone is a young Etta James and reminds me he's just as deluded as the rest of them
Louis better not ruin Johnny like he did to Storm Lee last year, Storm had a unique voice, different from Johnny's obviously but he's turning him into a circus freak like he did to Storm instead of just letting the poor guy sing! Aaaagh the guy frustrates me!
Why should he take it seriously when the producers/Simon dont take him seriously? Every year he's given the **** categories, the other judges go out of their way with their comments to undermime him and this year he was forced to take that idiot Sinitta as his helper over Adele.
Everyone says you need a couple of the joke acts in (e.g. Goldie) as its foremost an entertainment programme NOT a singing competition. So how come the American x factor hasn't put any joke acts through???
I think this is Louis taking it seriously because he hasn't got a clue what people are listening to these days.
He probably thinks Ronan Keating is still cutting edge.
Let's thank our lucky stars none of the other catagories got him as mentor otherwise we'd have Misha in a ballgown singing power ballads or The Risk doing a Westlife B side on stalls
What like Simon took it seriously with Steve?
Like he took it seriously with Shayne?
Like Danni took it seriously with Leon?
Like Cheryl took it seriously with Joe?
Like Danni took it seriously with Matt?
Oh yeah, being serious really works on this show...
A lot of people talk about some of the acts being jokes but I have said this before but Louis really does come across as the main joke. Whether he had no choice in who picks and having Sinitta as his co-judge he should get a backbone and actually do something about it, he should also stop with all those absolutely terrible cliches and half truths he keeps spouting out. I can't take Louis seriously let alone him taking the programme seriously. Come in Louis Walsh your time is up.

To be honest this show is so rigged with cliches that its hard to take it serous. So many stories everyday coming out about different contestants and their antics of screen its as bad as Big Brother. The day of proper talent shows are dead and gone. You cannot blame one judge out of the whole lot because of this. Its the producers and Simon Cowell who make the decisions at the end of the day. I think its totally unfair how they treat Louis Walsh ok so some of you do'nt like him but he deserves some respect because he know this show is what it is and does'nt take it seriously.:)
Louis's choice of acts - Goldie over Sami, for example, is a joke - but his choice of songs for those who do get through is like he is sending them up - and, sadly, sending them home early.
Although Jonjo is out of his depth talentwise, at least he had the sense to reject whatever novetly song or 70s gay disco glitterball anthem Louis had lined up for him. That he was then allowed to sing something that didn't let him come across at his best was also Louis's fault.
The others all went ahead with their Louis-laugh-a-minute gay karaoke night numbers and only because Sami and Kitty can actually sing did they emerge with any credit. What he did to Jonny was pathetic - the guy needs to get out the camp tent and into something with at least an iota of credibilty that he could maybe base an act on.
Exactly. How anyone could have picked Goldie over Sami his only real talent in his group is beyond me. His sniveling when Sami was praised up by the other judges last night made me want to puke.:eek:
He may get the bum category but he doesn't have to behave like he fully deserves it.:mad:
Do we believe the judges have total say over what acts go through? I doubt it, Cowell and ITV producers do. Why would they let Goldie through the initial screening and onto the judges auditions if they didn't. They want the controversial acts for the publicity and lets be honest Jedward have done well out of it.
Louis gets the short staw, when he got a decent category he won it with Shayne, so he gets a bad rap when it isn't his fault, and if any of the other judges kept getting the weak groups there would be tantrums all the time.

At least that would've been entertainingly awkward, as opposed to just dull, robotic and badly sung.

I think everything he does he does completely on purpose. I like Louis despite the fact that he is a prat.
Like he took it seriously with Shayne?
Like Danni took it seriously with Leon?
Like Cheryl took it seriously with Joe?
Like Danni took it seriously with Matt?

Is'nt he anymore shame.;)
He does take it seriously. He is offered a huge sum of money every year for turning up. So he turns up.

Sad, so sad.
I agree, would have liked to see someone new Louis is so annoying
