Thread: Two fingers to the audience by Louis Walsh

OK, your at the TV studios watching Xfactor, some of the acts you like, some you don't. But...

If you saw Nick griffin in mid harangue and some people were booing him in an effort to express disagreement, would you join in the booing? No, I would walk past him, I would not even look at him more then once.

I don't know where this accepting of booing an act has suddenly come from. It came from how bootcamp was edited by the producers,and from Simon's comments.Jedward were portrayed as two arrogant...

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...

Quote: Originally Posted by PhoebeJeebie OK, your at the TV studios watching Xfactor, some of the acts you like, some you don't. But you applaud them all, to varying degrees. Jedward come on stage and the pratt next to you starts booing. You can't move seats as they are all taken. He ruins your ability to view their act through his continued booing. You ask him politely to desist, he refuses, by telling you to "F**k off,...

Anyone going to the show knows they are going to see the twins, if they can't behave in a decent, civilised manner they deserve to be chucked out of the studio, I blame the producers they should tell them beforehand that booing is not wanted, then if they do it boot them out and blacklist them.

I don't know where this accepting of booing an act has suddenly come from. I can't recall this sort of hostility to any of the contestants last year. Eoghan was widely ridiculed on the internet and by...
