To miss Louis?

been watching the X factor with DD (I realise this is in itself unreasonable), and I really miss Louis. Was never a massive fan, but Rita Ora leaves me cold.

YANBU. I wasn't a fan of Louis either but this other bloke, with the gurning face, has the draw of a wet fish.

lemoncordial · 06/09/2015 22:20

Agreed. Current line up is boring. My ideal would be Louis, Gary Barlow (yum), Kelly Rowland (very talented), and Sharon Osborne (experienced in the music business and a fair judge)

twoboystwogirls · 06/09/2015 22:20

Nick Grimshaw REALLY has me missing Louis. Louis was fun and light....somehow the X Factor seems heavy and boring now. I caught Louis on Lorraine the other morning and I was laughing so much...he is really a loss.

Hassled · 06/09/2015 22:21

Louis has always been entertaining. Usually wrong, but entertaining.

TittyBiskwits · 06/09/2015 22:21

YANBU

I miss Louis too. Could live without Grimmy, Rita Ora and Cheryl.

Lilaclily · 06/09/2015 22:22

Yes I'd like Simon , Gary Barlow , Louis and Sharon Osborne

dementedDementor · 06/09/2015 22:23

I don't even watch it and I miss Louis! I saw about five mins of it the other day and that new man is extremely irritating.

ollieplimsoles · 06/09/2015 22:24

YANBU I enjoyed the bants between Louis and Simon...

KanyeWestPresidentForLife · 06/09/2015 22:24

Louis was entertaining. But he was also an incredibly good foil for Cowell to spark off. He would tease him and wind him up. The three that are on there now are just in awe of SC and as a result SC has become dull as nobody is providing him with anything to work with.

Cheryl Flobadob-Vespa is just a dull featureless automaton.

dementedDementor · 06/09/2015 22:25

I watched the series with Tulisa and I thought she was great as a mentor.

Finola1step · 06/09/2015 22:27

I can't quite believe it but, I miss Louis too.

The original line-up of Simon, Louis and Sharon will always be the best IMO. I think they should ditch Cheryl ASAP. I've always been a big Girls Aloud fan, but she's become increasingly unlikeable over the years. Nadine Coyle would be a good replacement.

JeanSeberg · 07/09/2015 05:31

and of course there'll be no group of contestants who have to pretend to be both surprised and excited that Louis' taking them to Ireland for judge's houses

They can save that for when they get to go to Oldham if they're in Nick's group.

PicnicPie · 07/09/2015 06:01

Yanbu. Another one here that misses Louis.

mellowheart · 07/09/2015 06:44

Totally agree, Nick Grimshaw is terrible, brings nothing to the show whatsoever, I'm not remotely interested in what he has to say,, he's just bland and boring, as is Rita Ora, whereas Louis and Sharon were entertaining. Cheryl too is awful. I always think that if you're going to have a singer as a judge, that singer should at least be good.This the worst X Factor ever and I think Simons going to regret this poor line up of judges.

SeaMagic · 07/09/2015 09:42

They are all Grim (my)!

What a dull and boring line up of judges this year.

I agree, surely Cheryl has to go? She is not in the least current or relevant and a mediocre performer to boot.

ClearBlueWater · 07/09/2015 09:55

Cheryl is a rubbish singer so how can she be a good judge?
Is she having a 'thing' with SC? (odd vibe between them)

(mind SC cant sing presumably and he gets to judge!).

NG and RO seem a bit pointless, as do OM and the girl who send the acts in.

Sharon Osbourne was good. Cant bear Loius though.

Meh.

Whereyourtreasureis · 07/09/2015 10:00

Cheryl Flobadob-Vespa Grin I'm nicking that one

corlan · 07/09/2015 10:08

Radish,I felt the same last night when they showed the blank faces of the judges during the wonderful rendition of 'Copacabana'. Louis would have loved that!

AgentProvocateur · 07/09/2015 10:09

I'm missing Louis too. I switched it off halfway through on Saturday. I think my x-factor watching days are over.

mellowheart · 07/09/2015 10:12

Simon can't sing but then he doesn't pertain to. His and Louis thing is spotting and nurturing talent. Cheryl's fame is as a singer so IMO I don't see why she should be judging anyone.

corgiology · 07/09/2015 10:37

I SO hoped this was about Louis Theroux.

Damn.
