Walsh and Cowell bitching again

Louis Walsh has criticised fellow X-Factor judge Simon Cowell in The People, saying he is too busy with American Idol to concentrate on music.

Louis Walsh has been having a pop at fellow X-Factor star Simon Cowell. Which comes as no surprise, because there's a series of X-Factor going on just now. Though the judges' no-doubt-constant moaning in the press yet to come is not, I'm sure, part of a wider marketing strategy for the show, and it's cynical for you even to think that.

Walsh apparently told The People "Simon is not as good as Simon thinks he is. Me and Sharon Osbourne know more about the music business. Simon Cowell is in the Simon Cowell business. He's too busy doing American Idol and running around the world to concentrate on the music."

He continued: "I know about groups - I had Boyzone and I had Westlife and Girls Aloud. I'm absolutely confident I can beat him. Look what happened when I had the groups before. G4 are on their third album now. But where is Steve Brookstein? Has anyone seen him? There's a reward for anyone who can find him."
