Yes, saw that, but that is Walsh for you, a spiteful little man who thinks he is a great manager, truth is, the likes of Westlife and Boyzone would have made it without him, he is like Cowell, someone who just got lucky.

I would love to hear his opinion of Jedward if they were'nt in his catagory, think we all know what he woud be saying about them.

Not true ; Louis put Boyzone and Westlife together.He didn't begin managing them after they they had started out.....they were his creation.

I only caught it after someone mentioned it here last night. He did it right after J&E's sing-off performance and obviously the audience were giving J&E stick when they finished. Even Dannii looked around wondering about whatever abuse was being thrown at the twins.

It's one of my favourite moments of the season and if anyone could clip it from just before J&E's cartwheel back on stage until Louis gives the boo-ers the fingers I will love them. Now that's Rock 'n' Roll, Louis Walsh!

He spoke to the morons in the only language they would understand and good for him.

They seem to think it is Big Brother, or that they can bully a couple of kids out of the show, and then throw tantrums when they can't get their own way.

The show should be a bit more careful about who they let in to the studio

ribtickle · 10-11-2009, 00:22

I may be one of the few people in this forum to think this, but IMO he should be suspended by ITV for that. It won't happen of course, the X Factor is their cash cow-ell.

I don't care how much part of the audience boo two non-singers who are put into a singing contest and given every production advantage to help them survive while singers go home, their mentor and fellow countryman should not be sticking two fingers to the audience, and doing so on live TV.

It's hard to see what else the audience can do to express their annoyance at the lack of fair play. Sixty years ago the stage would have been stoned with coins or rotten tomatoes.

It's Louis' stupid decision in the first place, his insistence of putting his "new Bros" through, which has turned the show into a farce.

quasimoron · 10-11-2009, 00:26

Why is lyod, who is talentless not getting booed.He stayed against a superior singer last week and there was no fuss or calls to Ofcom.
If the twins had went Simon would be a hero.People are so hypocritical and wont admit its complete bias and petty dislike.
The booing is very low behaviour and even Dermot was furious last night. The screaming and booing is ruining the show, its impossible to hear the judges comments.I would have power hosed the cretins with ice water and then forcibly ejected them, with no return ticket EVER.

I am assuming that the booing was booing the twins as opposed to Simon's decsion. If I'd been there I would have wanted to boo the decision

You speak sense.

Easy to say when it cannot be proven.
Did you ever see or hear Boyzone's first tv performance? If you did not you missed a treat. They were Jedward lite.
And no I am not a fan of Jedward.

wildyounghearts · 10-11-2009, 01:04

Wake up people- I am sick of this myth that Louis 'put them through'

He is not the boss- the reason the Twins made the final 12 is because Simon- and the prodcuers wanted them in the live shows

After going on Sky News (and numerous other media outlets) to public abuse them and threatening to leave the country if they won, Simon, when given the deciding vote in the sing off chose to ............
Save them - because clearly picking deadlock (like he did last week with Lloyd) was saving them!!

I seriously read that in an Ozzy Osbourne voice. You're not...Ozzy Osbourne, are you? *hides pet bats*

It is funny how, in this day and age of making a fuss over nothing, no-one is making a fuss over his gesture. I suppose he was lucky that the fuss being made over the Cowell decision has taken over everything, otherwise I think he might well be in danger.

After all it is the visual equivalent of saying "f*ck off".

Just an assumption but I'm sure to make Louis react like that a particular audience member was being extremely offensive / personal to either Louis or the boys. Danni was turning round and having a word as well.

Dannii's face in that photo is wonderful.

"Right, we're on camera, smile, look nice - woah Louis!"

dubgaz · 10-11-2009, 16:33

Louis was right to show the fingers to the neanderthals in the audience who were booing. No point in trying to reason with the people booing as they wouldnt understand with their limited chav vocabulary.

No point in sticking two fingers up at them either, then. They can't count that high!

Yes, because, of course, they had nothing better to worry about in the 40s. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Good for Louis. The lunatic audiences are out of control this season.

simbarro · 11-11-2009, 13:40

So its not ok for the audience to boo in a so called talent contest, but it is ok for a judge to stick two fingers up? Right...

Michelle12 · 11-11-2009, 14:09

apparantly Louis said a section of the crowd were calling them 'tossers, w.ankers, little f.uckers,' and someone threw something at them in the ad break. I guess he must have just snapped.
