is Louie trying to make the X-Factor look as bad.?

Louis makes X Factor look bad every year. I really can't understand why Goldie even got one yes, let alone 3. She can't sing, but 10/10 for making herself look a total idiot. I'll never understand why she was chosen over Sami, who could belt out a Whitney song just as good as Whitney herself. Simon once said that choosing a Whitney Houston song at audition was a bad move - unless you really could compete - and boy, could she.

I have always liked Louis but after this year's joke I really think it is time he resigned as judge. I think he does it just to be controversial - thank goodness Goldie quit at least it has given Sami a chance as she should have been there in the first place.

Louis is an idiot, he always moans about getting that category, yet he could make it a good category if he just picked the right people, he should have picked Sami and Carolynne, they have amazing voices, yet he puts through the joke acts every year and then wonders why he has no acts left when the final approaches.

When Simon had the Over 25s he got second place with Olly Murs and even Danyl Johnson got far in the competition, that's because Simon picked great singers for his category, not jokes like Louis always does.

In saying that, I do love Goldie! But Louis needs to get a grip!

Louie is in danger of becoming the fool of the series - which is a shame because he has managed some really good, and famous, acts in his career. What he is now doing, however, is what he is in danger of being remembered for. JedWard, Wagner, and the 'idiots' chosen this time around. Is he trying to get rich and famous from the mentally deficient? I thought that was exploitation of the vulnerable! Maybe, because he was not given the role of Head Judge (which Gary walked into as the newcomer) this is his revenge - and he doesn't care if it has thousands tuning out which will, of course, ruin the show and put it in jeopardy of being cancelled next year.

Why the Thumbs Down? I am only saying the same as everyone else???

Louis needs to get a grip. I feel so bad for Sami. She now has to work with the mentor who initially sacked her for a joke, but got lucky cuz the joke dropped. That has to be ackward. I think 3 of his 4 acts (all but Sami) will get dropped right away.

Looking at the other categories I think Louis is realistic enough to know that he has no chance of winning with any of the Overs. So I think he is trying to grab as many headlines with acts so he will be the most talked about mentor.

I think the producers must ask Louis to get a jokey-act, and that's what Johnny Robinson is. I think Sammi is a really really good singer and will go quite far, she really deserves it.

Louie's probably bitter since he's always been given the crappy categories. He's making X Factor seem like a joke. The thing is, he's probably laughing away in his mansion since he gets paid regardless. I'd rather he get replaced by Cheryl. The only comment he ever gives is "I want people to pick up the phone and vote vote vote for ___" anyway...

i was so annoyed with louis this year.... little thin drag act man and goldie cheung? wasting people who actually have a shot like sami and the girl who sang the lady antebellum song? WTF was he thinking!!!

Yeah... especially last year. I mean Wagner... Seriously?

EDIT: Why am I getting so many thumbs down? Wagner was crap...
