X Factor 2012: Louis Walsh “Gary Barlow thinks that he knows it all and he clearly doesn’t”
Ohh things are heating up in the Gary Barlow vs Louis Walsh feud.
Yesterday X Factor judge Louis Walsh claimed that he doesn’t mind fighting with his fellow panellist because he doesn’t consider him a ‘proper friend’ and today he’s been questioning his music credentials.
Barlow is one of Britain’s most successful songwriters. Over a career that has stretched for two decades, he has had three number 1 singles and two number 1 albums as a solo artist and has had sixteen top 5 hits, eleven Number 1 singles and seven Number 1 albums with Take That. He is also a six-time recipient of the Ivor Novello Award and has sold over 45 million records worldwide with Take That.
Still, Louis branded him ‘deaf’ while they were critiquing singers on Saturday night’s live show.
In an interview with The Herald, Walsh claims that Gaz has changed this year and is a different man ever since he worked with the Royal Family on the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The dad of three organised the star studded concert that was held outside Buckingham Palace and along with Andrew Lloyd Webber penned a song in commemoration for the occasion, that later went on to top the charts.
Louis thinks all this has inflated Barlow’s ego and told the newspaper:
“I was always a big fan of Gary’s but ever since he met the Royal family, he has become a bit pompous. And he thinks he is a Sir already.”
The former Westlife boss added:
“Gary you are not knighted yet. And even then that doesn’t make you the Pope–always right.”
Lou Lou and Gaz clashed on the first live results show of the series, when the Irish star voted off country singer and overs contestant Carolynne Poole.
Gary walked off the set in a rage and ranted at staff backstage, saying that Louis’ decision had been a ‘total joke.’
The pair were at loggerheads once more last weekend, when Gary called Walsh’s critique of Kye Sones ‘non comments’ and Louis told him he was ‘deaf.’
Louis admitted:
“Obviously I am having my differences with Gary. The problem with Gary is that he thinks that he knows it all and he clearly doesn’t. He knows the Royal family and he was voted ‘Dad of the Year’ and he believes it all now. I have my feet very firmly on the ground and for me, it is all about my acts.”
He also claimed that Gary is more concerned with his own image and the public’s perception of him than he is about any one of his singers and added:
“I am working so hard with them and I am determined to get to the final this year. All Gary is concerned about is being head judge.”
Gary lost Melanie Masson last weekend and has only two acts left in the competition. Walsh thinks this pattern of overs elimination will continue and gloated:
“Wait and see who has the most acts left in four weeks between the pair of us. I bet it won’t be Gary.”

Louis is such a child! How did he get so close to retirement age without gaining any maturity? All he knows is how to arrange boys in a line or on stools. All rise for the key change, eh Louis?
Louis is so pompous. Of course Gary has changed. He has
had terrible grief to deal with.
But to say its all down to his ego. Gary is a wonderful mentor
And he is on an up hill journey people are always going to vote
for younger generation its nothing to do with louis having any skills he is just plain boring. Bring in another irishman Ronan o yes.
Louis is acting very childish. Gary is a far better mentor to his acts then Louis, Its just that Gary was given the ‘Overs’ who aren’t the strongest, Louis was given the groups because he always has the ‘Overs’.. I wonder why? At the end of the day mostly kids are watching the X factor and vote for the young boys in the groups. If I am completely honest there is already One Direction in the music industry I don’t think we need ‘Copy-cats’. Gary is 1 of the most respectable people and I don’t believe he would mistreat his acts for the sake of his image! Clearly there seems to be a bit of Jealousy on Louis behalf.
Gary is clearly a better judge judging by all the acts that he wanted to put through over the years. louis just like entertainment and never really cares about the voice. come on, louis got the overs last time and how can he just gloat about it like that? dont he know how it feels to mentor the overs. gary is a really great mentor and he definitely have better taste in music.
mostly even between children and adults watch xfactor
as much as i love gary, u cant say hes a better mentor, when he is 2 acts down and louis has his full quota.
Leave louis alone, hes not killed anyone, there some terrible people in this world, louis is harmless in comparison. Lets get some perspective, its a tv show… thats it. Get a life.
Gary is a hypocrite…before the live shows started he stated in an interview that he will only critizize the singing abilities of the contestants, but last saturday showed that he likes to get personal, if he doesn´t like a contestant…this creature is a rude, arrogant meaningless hypocrate and needs to be axed from the show…i also dont think rylan is a good singer, but garys comments showed actually that he is soo immature and huge liar! Cant stand this guy! Jope his career crashed a second time, then maybe he will learn how to treat people…
There’s only one crap judge there, and it’s Louis Walsh. If Louis thinks bcoz he’s the longest judge signed at that panel, and he’s already the most qualified judge. No! Bcoz he is just the cheapest lapdog Simon’s can afford!
The big fact, that Louis and Simon are too jealous of Gary Barlow, is no doubt anymore! In my opinion, what Simon does isn’t talent, as well Louis managing Boyband, can’t even called talent! And the fact also, that Louis can do nothing for his Acts after the Show, if they didn’t win! And i think he doesn’t even care, after that! Unlike, Gary Barlow can support them behinds the screen, as well they can sign them to his Record Label, write them Song and produce them! But, Louis needs to beg Simon, first! Louis look at you, without Simon you’re nothing! Gary Barlow is everywhere bcoz he has talent in Music, and talent to communicate with people in every level of the society, unlike you Louis, you just can communicate with Jokes people like you, and ofcourse Simon (what a question)!
