Obvious despite their pantomime fueding that Louis will keep in whoever Simon wants.After Cher's song Cowell made a point of turning and staring at louis-Walsh knew exactly what he had to do.This after banging on about how good Paije is-the man's got no credibility whatsoever.

Simon is Louis' boss. Louis is a faithful employee. They're also very close friends. There is no rivalry.

Thats exactly my point-if he had a set of ball's hed have voted off Cher and it woulda went to the public.

Louis is Simons employee. Simon is Cheryls lapdog

Simon's attitude towards Cheryl is so patronising-he's well aware shes not the brightest and hasnt a clue about music.But he's made alot of hay off the back of her and doesnt want to upset her-hence voting to keep her acts in.

None of them have a clue about music to be fair

Simon just got very lucky on Pop Idol and luckily for him he's got a good eye for what makes good TV

Dannii got her job because of Australia's Got Talent (our equivalent to Amanda Holden...), Louis and Cheryl both from Popstars The Rivals and Sharon from The Osbournes.
