Well, he said it, it's not my opinion. X-Factor judge Louis Walsh has apparently told The Sunday Mirror that he is a pop king, and that fellow judges Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne are rubbish. "I think my records speak for themselves - I am the only real King of Pop on the show," he told the tabloid. "Simon and Sharon were the mouths of the first series - talking about how brilliant they were at spotting talent. I kept my counsel. I wanted to watch and see how things went. But now it's time to speak out."
He also commented on last years winner, poor old Steve Brookstein, and Sharon's favourite from last year, Tabby Callaghan and their descent into obscurity, saying "Steve Brookstein was supposed to be the next big thing, but he was a flop. Now Simon's dumped him from his record company - and I'm not even supposed to mention his name on the show. Sharon, meanwhile, was convinced her Tabby was the future of indie music. Sharon's all glamour and big boobs and an embarrassing flirt. She flirted mercilessly with Tabby - just like she's been doing with Chico. But there's barely any substance behind it in the long run."
Sorry, er, flirting with Chico? Chico? Louis, where exactly are you looking whenever Shayne Ward is on stage?
