He wrote the song as a tribute to his mother. She told him he could make it as a solo artist even though he wasn't confident about his voice.
Obviously he hasn't got the strongest voice but he went ahead and did that performance for his mum. He's worth £33m; he's hardly desperate for money and publicity. |

He's gained a lot of respect from me for giving a very professional composed display in those circumstances. Yes the song isnt groundbreaking but that took a lot of guts.

I have a lot of respect for him going on, but let's face it - the guy can't sing and never has been able to sing. The performance was always going to be awful regardless of the circumstances.

All that matters is Louis managed to get through it after such a huge loss - it was one of his mums wishes and he carried on regardless in her memory and that takes courage and extreme strength and that's the credit he deserves! No he isn't the best singer but it wasn't about that it was about paying tribute to his mum - it's desperately sad that she passed away before it but she would be so proud of him

It's funny how some people resort to personal attacks when they have nothing constructive to add to the discussion.

People grieve differently who are you to say what he should and should not be doing - his mother would've wanted him to do this it was planned from the starts of XF he would have an exclusive - his family would've all been there

He's a poor singer vocally. Regardless of the fact his mother just died.
But the young girls will lap it up so he'll be successful especially if they mask him behind a studio/video to iron out his limitations. That's the way singing is these days, all about image and PR. Until we smarten up, this will continue to be the road map for success for poor singers. |

Louis should be given a lot of slack. He's just lost his mother. I'm sure he'll have been trying his best to block it out of his mind when singing.

I wasn't aware there was an EXACT way everyone has to deal with grief. I'm no 1D fan by any means but it's simple his mum had a dream for him to become a solo star, she was looking foreword to his performance then tragedy struck. Louis as part of a tribute to his mother did the performance she wanted to see him do. In these circumstances I will give that guy a standing ovation 100 times out of 100 whether I like the song or not.

Louis has known for a while now that his mum might not make it and it could have been something they'd talked about and he made her a promise, I'm not a fan or 1D or the song last night but I have so much respect for Louis as it was obvious to see (to anyone without a snidey agenda) that the kid was barely holding it together but he put on his brave face and got through the performance. Remember series 2 of X Factor when Andy Abrahams mum died during the series? He flew back to Jamaica (IIRC) for her funeral ad still performed on Saturday. He was rightly praised for his maturity and strength but, in these more cynical times, he'd probably get slaughtered. Gary Barlow was also praised when he performed at the Olympics a few days after his baby daughter was stillborn and I remember how poignant the lyrics to Rule The World sounded and how much the other Take That guys rallied round. Well done to Louis for having the strength of character to fulfill his mums wishes and shame on anyone who thinks its ok to attack a young man in pain |

You know what? He isnt a good singer but he done so bloody well. His mum died a couple of days ago and what he did takes courage. I feel for the kid.

I really don't understand why people feel the need to make nasty comments all the time. If you didn't think his singing was very good, or you didn't like the song then fair enough.
The nasty digs aimed at him for performing though are unnecessary IMO. His mum probably knew she didn't have long left, for all we know she may have made him promise he would go ahead with his performance whatever happened. It's just incredibly sad she passed away only a few days before. I really felt for Louis last night. |

Exactly Eva. Everyone grieves in different ways and there is no right or wrong about what to do in this situation.
