I know - it seems like every year he gets either the overs or the groups depending which has the worst contestants!! If there are good overs, he gets the groups; when there are good groups, he gets the overs. It's a shame because the one time he got a decent category - the boys - he won, with Shayne.

Because it is part of the script that he gets the worst category ever year.

Even though he is usually given the weakest group he has mentored some of the biggest acts of each series:

1 = G4 (Sold more than the winner)
2 = Shayne (won the series)
5 = JLS (much more longevity/ sold more than the winner)
6 = Jedward (household name/ really successful)

He gets the toughest category as he is the only judge with the experience to make some of them good! The other judges don't have the skill/ knowledge to make the likes of Mary or jedward a success.

I'm thought they'd have given Gary the group with the most songwriters in it. He could pretend they're good and people would trust him.

With the usual disclaimer that she might not have much say in what happens, I'm glad Nicole has Jahmene's category.

fair point.. he has done well we shite! i actually like louis.. he annoys me to high heaven with some of the acts he puts thru!! but what i like about him is he is witty.. and he usually starts all the competitive edge between the judges.. love the spite...

think thats far too harsh.. as he had shayne and won.. and had rejects all the other times and got them further than they deserved... plus he seems to always back the winner... go on someone say it.. its cos he has read the script before hand!!

Regarding Jedward - the producers obviously wanted them - so Louis HAD to have the groups. It wouldn't have been believable for Cheryl, Dannii or Simon to pick them...but Louis doing it seemed perfectly credible, especially with them being Irish

Yes...but since G4/Shayne, Louis has lost his touch!! IMO He sees the show as a joke (jedward, wagner) and is content to have whatever as it keeps him in a job for as long a possible!!

I think the Girls category is very weak this year. They should have given him that category this year just for a change, because they won't win no matter who their mentor is.

Louis knows what makes good tv. If we didn't have fun acts every year, how boring would it be?

It would be like having 12 or 16 Janet Devlins

Louis does not have the expectations on him that the other three judges have or had(with previous judges)...he does not need to sell records appear cool or sucessful or even serious
I think he enjoys getting what is considered the worst catergory and then laughing as they prove to be more successful that people expect mind you the formula is all getting old hat now nowdays maybe they need to give louis a good catergory to shake things up a bit

I see it as a running joke, though whether it's intended that way I don't know.

In a way, the producers are paying him a big compliment, as they're admitting the other three judges would be incapable of mentoring the weakest category.

Because his ideas consist of either:

A - Bland ballads and suits for the groups and
B - Camp disco glitterball divorce karaoke whilst wearing ballgowns for the overs.

That's all he knows so they keep him within his comfort zone. The only time they cut him loose with the boys, it was a car crash and ended up with Simon and Sharon picking the songs for Shayne

Louis is brilliant with boybands. Track record off the show speaks for itself

Because he is not really capable of handling anything else. He is not up with music trends or the industry and is a bit past it now.

I don't loathe the man or anything, but he is well past his best and no one in the music industry will really take him seriously.

All he's ever done is boy bands. What else does he know?

He's managed several soloists and girl bands over the years. He discovered and launched Johnny Logan and Samantha Mumba for example, and the girl group Bellefire were his creation as well.
