Osbourne has problems
When Osbourne attacked Louis Walsh and CS she left herself open to being sued for Slander by both parties - and the police and Race Relations act could be involved.
If I were they, I'd sue her for every penny she's got. I've complained to ITV about her comments - and I hope other other Irish people do as well. There is no way that woman should be on Live TV: ITV is in a whole heap of trouble as well. |

Firstly, it can't be said that Louis DEFINITELY kept the Conways because they are Irish, that is an assumption.
Secondly, Sharon did not say anything against Irish people in general. The insult was aimed at Louis. |

I think the whole reaction to last week verges on the ridiculous now.
Shame people are not so passionate about real issues rather than an entertaiment programme. |

Actually he only voted Maria off because it eliminated the competition for Shayne. |

The insult as said above, was aimed at Louis, not the Conway Sisters, or the Irish people... she said that she is part Irish herself, and as an Irish Catholic couldnt say anything against the Irish, but she did condemn Louis and his decision (or the reasons for his decision). My personal take on it is that he used his relationship with the girls to come to his decision, not necessarily his passport, but then, he has "invited" a lot of his personal friends who are Irish (probably cos he comes from there he knows a lot of Irish people in the music industry) to take part in the contest and looked out for them... To me, it still comes down to there should be the normal standard competition rule that family and friends of the judges cannot take part...
I'm pretty sure that Sharon's over-reaction was partly due to the script, the producers looking for good TV and some publicity for the show. All three judges have made bad decisions and come out with some unnecessary scathing comments over the weeks, and I dont agree with the way it has been blown so far out of proportion. But I do agree with Sharon's comment about the Conways being safe unless they are in the bottom two against Shayne or Nicholas. Louis has proved his loyalties there... isnt it a pity tho, that the Conways didnt prove their loyalty to Louis in return? Not keen on the girls' personalities, it has to be said.... |

I "expect" presenters to behave in a decent manner. |

You must go through life being constantly outraged. Excellent use of the word "gumption" though. Good work.
