Wow, Louis is getting it from all directions this week.
Speaking to shortlist.com, Jarvis had this to say of The X Factor and Walsh's involvement:
"I gave up on The X Factor when they did that awful version of 'Heroes' by David Bowie. It's not music, is it? I don't want to sound like a fuddy-duddy, but to me it's everything I don't agree with. The thing that makes good music is the idea that somebody stumbles upon something or just through their enthusiasm and energy they invent something by accident… That's where great music has come from. Probably all great art, if we're honest. And the idea on The X Factor that these experts come in and tell you how to do it, how to style yourself and everything else. Also look at the level of these experts. In a world where Louis Walsh can be considered an expert, something's wrong. I hate that because it makes kids think that there's a proper way to be a popstar, like there's a formula. And it's crap."
