I don't think the judges do the choosing. Producers do.

..yeah, you're probably right, Vanessa but it's made out to the public that they do, so it still makes Louis look stupid...it's probably better to be a weak singer than an idiot...

No, but he was awful as well. No idea how he got to the final.

He's not even that bad, but people just love having someone to vilify every year. should get further then Luke anyway.

No idea. It's a popularity contest these days. We'll just have to see who has the most votes.

I don't think he is particularly bad either, he isn't by any means a good singer but he has a fairly good voice and also puts a great deal of effort into his performances and he is,in my view, an instantly likeable guy who has a really good attitude even when getting some really harsh and unjustified criticism.

Anyway I am surprised at Louis on this but then, maybe it is an attempt to get more votes rolling in for Sam C.
I've seen a faur few singers who are really poor when singing live,however their performance makes up for a lot.
The X Factor should be about more than just the voice,otherwise the title X Factor is meaningless,may as well just have something like the Voice series on BBC.
