Fair enough annoyed me a little last year but I don't understand it this year - all the judges bully him referring to him being gay etc but he's not allowed to answer back? As soon as he does everyone hates him. Give him a break. type of bullying, no?

The comments he make about Danni and SD are digusting and hurtful. He is a bitter, senile old man.

I think the comments hinting towards Louis' sexuality are totally uncalled for.

Simon likes the bit of fun and the cheeky backchat-he knows what makes good tv and he thinks viewers like the judges "rows".

Its all pantomine really but there has been a scary level of hatred towards Louis!

I for one am very glad Simon brought him back-and I am sure Simon is as well!

But he does it because of the verbal onslaught he receives each week from Cowell, and can't you use a more original insult other than Dannii used.

Because he is spiteful and horrible, SD have said he is nice to them during the week then rips them to shreds on stage. His smile annoys me; he knows what he says gets a bad reaction, hes trying to be simon cowell but because he has a rubbish sense of humour fails miserably.

well, you seem to be taking Louis comments quite personally..

Look I know he is annoying at times, and his comments can be OTT, but you have to realise he mainly just does as he is told. He has probably secured SD 10's of thousands of votes with his comments about them...

All the judges are allowed to take the mick out of Louis and have jibes about his sexuality but as soon as Louis' responds we have endless hate threads on him. I love Louis and i would rather have him as a judge than the boring, pointless Danni.

Louis doesn't like Same Difference and tells them his opinion. And i happen to agree with him on everything he says - but apparently he's 'bullying' them. Because if you don't give a comment other than a praise, it's 'bullying'....

Its the things he says; he doesnt have to like them, but he also doesnt have to be twofaced, which according to the reports he is.

Also, when Dannii says something perfectly true about Niki being out of tune he resorts to personal insults. I dont think any of the judges should do that, they're all guilty of it but that doesnt justify it

At least she commented on the singing which the other judges very rarely do. Its often 'the rollerskaters were rubbish' or a pantomime between the judges.

Its because he is a nasty, spiteful, bitter vindicitve little man. I find his treatment of Same Difference utterly disgusting. He belittles them week in, week out. Its bullying IMO and should not be tolerated.

He's jealous of Danni for actually caring about her acts, and now as a result she has two in the final four. Its a bitter pill to swallow for Louis.

He's also responsible for Westlife which is unforgivable.

I like Louis, I'm glad he's back on the panel. His comments to SD have been no worse than Simon's were last year to the Mcd Boys. I think Simon often goes to far in his comments to Louis, but because it's Simon's show he's allowed to get away with it.

Completely agree

But the show wouldn't be the same without him, which is a fact I hate.

Unless he is replaced with an amazing judge next year.

When SD asked Louis what they could do to improve and change his opinion of them he said "go home".

How exactly is that constructive? I'm sure those that strongly dislike SD would jumping for joy but it basically proved that his criticism is personal. They may as well not bother asking his opinion on their performances after that. He made up his mind he was going to hate absolutely everything about them from the start because Simon criticised the Macdonalds last year. Absolutely every single chance he gets he makes snide digs at them.

I don't get it either because he's only playing his part on this show. Why people take what he says so seriously is beyond me.

Of course when Cowell says nasty "uncalled for" things it's just because "He's only speaking the truth!"

Whatever. It's all an act to sell a TV show.

He's a drama queen and a buffoon. The best thing the show could do would be to fire him and Sharon and get in one or two new judges who can bring a sense of professionalism rather than circus to the whole exercise.

He rightly concluded when he got his group that he didn't have anyone really good. Having, by saying that, cruely told them they were no good too ,he then turns up every week and tells us they are good.

Every week he sends Nikki out to sing a song that demonstrates she isn't quite the singer she is trying to sound like - he has no ability to make anyone find their own voice or do anything distinctive - thats understandable given his record lies in producing bands who are covers of other bands singing covers of other people's songs.

Having produced bands who can't sing very well - or who leave if they can - he then spends his time slagging off people who can perform, do have a vocal identity and do actually create their own songs - like Danii and the Spice Girls.

To top it all he takes that one stage further and spends his time on the show ridiculing SD who actually do what they do better than anyone else on the show does what they do. There are people who can hit money notes much better than Nikki and Rhydian and lots of Leons out there - most of the people on the Maria show were better than Nikki and there are better people in Rhydian's field too. He then tells us that Nikki who won't compete in her field is better than SD who are very viable in theirs. People might prefer Nikki or Rhydian but thats no reason to claim SD are not good at what they do or that the competition somehow excludes them - particularly as theymay actually get more of a career out of teh show than people who do something less well.

Basically most of what he says is either contradicted by something else he has said or it rests on comparisons that are untrue or its just nonsense anyway.
