...but it's about time that Mr Louis Walsh grew up.  If we hear him say, "I like them all, I don't know why any of them have to go," one more time, we'll punch him.  Louis, you are a judge, so do some judging and stop pretending to be everyone's friend.

Play the game... play the game...

Louis is annoying.  Full stop.  That's why we've created the Smack Louis game, where you can legally punch the living daylights out of Louis Walsh.  You might dislike Louis because he brought the world Westlife.... you might not like him because he wouldn't put you through to the next round, or you may just have a fear of leprechauns, whatever the reason click here to play.
