Taken from The Sun:

A HUGE row has kicked off on ITV’s The X Factor after judge Louis Walsh accused show favourite Rowetta Satchell of cheating.

Louis claimed Rowetta used a backing singer to perform most of the lines on Donna Summer hit MacArthur Park on last Saturday’s show.

But supporters of Rowetta last night hit back claiming Louis was “bitter” because his act Voices With Soul had been voted off.

And ITV bosses yesterday declared the show a success after Saturday’s show peaked at 8.6million, attracting 55 per cent of the advertisers’ target age group of 16 to 34-year-olds.


God shes makin a few enemies, Steve and now Louis

They managed to get a backing singer which sounded exactly like Rowetta?? She has a pretty destinctive voice.

I think Louis is just mud slinging knowing true or not some of it will stick.

I agree woth you, it's probably because he doesn't want G4 in the bottom 2 again so if he throughs "cheat" about then people would stop voting for that artist. So who's gonna be next on his hit-list? My moneys on Steve or Cassie.

Well at least he's working hard for the boys. LoL. Makes you wonder how many of his staff are manning the phones on a saturday night.

Not to get into trouble for slander, but allegedly certain managers have bought there own bands singles from stores by the truck load to ensure they got to no.1. If they can do this who knows what they would do to win a competition.

It seems like he'll doing anything to discredit Simon and his acts but, to me, he just comes across as bitter. Simon is the better judge and has chosen better (more appropriate songs) for his acts which is why he still has 2 acts and Louis has one. Unfortunately Rowetta's credibility is also seen as fair play in this game.

Is he suggesting she was miming??
What a strange accusation. The silly man does himself no favours at all.

This reminds me of when Pete Waterman accused Girls Aloud of the same thing....

You would thus think Louis would know better...

loupy wants to watch himself his mud slinging could backfire on him , no one likes a bad looser, if she had a backing track with a singer on it, what makes him think it wasnt a recording of rowetta herself, thats what her job was, and theres no better voice to compliment her singging than her own

I dont know where the Sun got their info from but Louis said on This Morning yesterday that he loves Rowetta and thinks she is fantastic. There was no mention of any of this at all.

The Sun ? hmmmm.

The same paper that announced the girl out of 2 to go was in love with the crier in G4.
They of course announced this the day after she got engaged to Peter.

I


this at all.
I would imagine that it was more 'The Sun' than Louis - unless he 'planted' the idea with them and then keeps his distance from the comments! Perhaps he knows something we don't, and Rowetta did very well in the voting last week. Apart from the final two contestants, all the other acts are NOT called out in order - so the last name to be put through (Rowetta last week) could really have the most votes!

Lou Lou just sinks to lower levels each day
even people who aren't that keen on Ro have to admit that he sounds very bitter.

exactly, hes more of a cheat, phone voting his own acts, trying to turn everyone against simon,so he would loose, and now hes dragging rowetta into his petty argument,all she wants to do is get a record deal,and hes doing all he can to take that away from her
well who may have no acts left Mr Walsh

One Rowetta is more than enough. The thought that there might be someone else who sounds like her is scary

LouLou is just jealous that Rowetta is so fabulous - and of course, as has already been said on here, it was in the Sun so go figure...
