Louis Walsh joins Britney on X Factor USA
The Irishman stands in for a poorly Simon Cowell

Britney arrived at the Spirit Centre in Kansas City for the latest round of X Factor USA auditions. So far, so good.
But there was a special guest judge as Simon Cowell was ill with bronchitis. The X Factor boss could have called any of his A-list pals to fill in for him on the panel - expats like Robbie Williams, Piers Morgan or Russell Brand, or big names in music like Jay-Z or even Justin Bieber. But he rang, er, Louis Walsh!

When are these people going to realise that XFactor and the other dross doesn't work!!! What winners have achieved anything???? The only one of any talent was Leona Lewis - and she hasn't done much since. As for Alexandra Burke.......sorry shes in the news every other day....what does she do??? Its just a way of these execs/fuller/cowell et al of lining their pockets and dumping them for the next batch of suckers!! What happened to hard graft and people working hard for their dream. The big bands - the real talented singers out there. Thats why the younger generation in this society expect everything for nothing - they see people earning telephone number deals for being used and abused in the name of the fame game. Get real - get a job and get a life!!!

I suppose all such people must support each other . Shame as Louis Walsh projects himself as a disgusting person . Full of inept answers and platitudes . Plus other faults .
Simon Cowell , whilst seemingly competent , makes a fool of himself by continually critisizing
other judges .
All in all I have stopped watching programme .
Goodbye.

Louis Walsh joins a f****** american tv show!, why was this not reported on the national tv news, this is an outrage, I pay my tv licence, I should be kept informed of the little leprechaun's activities, he's so important to the world, and where would we be without such entertainment?!!

Gwarn Louis! It would be quite sad if Gary was jealous. After all, he thought he was the 'head judge' from now on. But i'm sure he wouldn't be after his success with the jubilee concert. I rate him for that.
