JLS just needed the platform of X Factor; Louis had no impact on their career IMO. Fair enough he did give Jedward a chance when nobody else would have, but I doubt even he could have predicted how well they'd do after the show. He knows how to annoy people, he has an eye for annoying acts, and that's why they give him the joke category each year. I don't know how many years running now it's been for Louis, having either the groups or the overs, but it's obvious that that's his role on the show. Were JLS the last act he got to a final?
