Why do people hate louis walsh




















Louis adds that he inherited "old-fashioned Irish values" from parents Frank and Maureen. Last year he finished up on X Factor after 13 years on the biggest pop show on television. Ten years ago, Louis brought me out for lunch in town; then, after I mentioned that my mother was a big fan of X Factor and him , he drove us up to the family home in Dublin to see her and offer her tickets to the show in London. When my mother told him that she would rather watch it on the telly in her front room, Louis got all my sisters VIP tickets instead and brought them backstage to meet Simon Cowell etc.

That is a side to Louis that people rarely hear about. People think of him as the acid-tongued pop mogul on the telly, the light-hearted king of pop forever ready with a bitchy joke.

But he has a good heart, as well as a sometimes hidden serious side. I have to suffer the consequences. I have a serious side. I take my work very seriously. I am not frivolous. I love music. He skips merrily onto the subject of Elton John.

I love the fact that he doesn't claim to be perfect. He is human. What is a bad day for Louis? I nearly always have good days.

I'm nearly always in good form. But I do have bad days, yeah. Asked a few years ago about his art collection, he answered: "Hirst, Hockney, Herring. That's just the Hs. Another time, Louis was asked who would play him in the film of his life. He couldn't sing. Louis doesn't submit to psychoanalysis willingly, or at all.

He was once asked, have you ever said 'I love you' and not meant it? Intriguingly, the song he wants played at his funeral, he once said, is Crazy by Patsy Cline. The Irish King of Pop is not an easy one to work out. Asked what age he is - I already know the answer, but I want to hear him say something Dorothy Parker-esque all the same - Louis answers: "I'm somewhere between 21 and death.

I'm I feel about I act young. I'm young on the inside. I just got out of bed and here am I having lunch at the InterContinental with you. I was watching The Irishman on Netflix until three o'clock in the morning. I thought the fact that the main character was Irish - Sheeran and all that - was interesting. I probably have a handful of close friends," he says referring to Caroline Downey "She's a genius, a great woman" , Sharon Osbourne "I love Sharon" and Cowell - Louis was at the latter's recent Thanksgiving dinner at his house in London.

He is going to bed early," he says of his X Factor boss. He is really healthy. Why doesn't he have check-ups? I feel good! I brought him into the Westbury, he saw I. He has a spark that none of the others had. Still has. Honestly, there is a difference. He reckons this likeability is the reason that Cowell chose him for the judging gig on X Factor. I would have said that. I had no confidence for a few years. I thought Simon chose me because he liked me — I still do. So how does he feel about being dropped from the X Factor judging panel twice fired or quit, depending on who you ask.

And the ratings were really bad. Simon kept me there longer than I ever should have been, you have to change these shows. I was there for 13 years. But he very, very pointedly refuses to rule it out. In football, this making yourself available for a move to a bigger club, by refusing to rule it out, is known as a Come and Get Me Plea.

Louis is never going to be happy just being the big fish in the small pond of Irish TV. I think Dublin is the best place in the world, all you need is money. I feel safe here, no one is going to shoot me, like in the States. The million in the middle [of the country] that voted for Donald Trump. Everyone has a gun. He makes an exception for big cities like New York, Chicago and particularly Miami, where he owns a bolt-hole from the Irish winter.
