Lloyd threatens to quit X Factor over stress

Eh Ok then bye Lloyd :)
Comment by Val on November 24 12:45

Oh come on Lloyd is totally rubbish!
Comment by fiona on November 24 12:47

I agree that Lloyd is now the worst singer left, and there are better ways of putting things but this is a competition and you are going to go through life getting knockbacks. Acting like a spoiled brat just because your voice is not as good as the others is pathetic. John and Edward were terrible singers and probably shouldnt be in a competition to find a recording artist but at least they didnt throw a fit about comments from the other judges (which were the same or worse).

lloyd - get over yourself or get out! Trying to get the sympathy vote is pathetic!
Comment by ss on November 24 12:51

I am sorry to say but compared to the other acts that are left Lloyd, hasn't got the same singing power as them, yes he is a lovely lad and the girls like him but truth is his voice is not on par with the remaining acts. Plus if he thinks comments like that are bad wot would it be like if he did win cos the newspapers wouldnt be bothered what they say about him, to me if you want the fame you have to take the bad with it. Also what Louis said about him was nowhere as bad as wot john & edward had to put up with from more or less day one, ( and no i arent siding with them as i dont even think they should have got as far as they did. lucy and rachel should not have gone over them two.
Comment by hel on November 24 12:52

Louis Walsh is a Hypocrit how can he possibly sit and say that Lloyd deserves to be in the bottom two when he had those horrid twins in until last weekend when they should have gone out first before all the other contestants. They are Tone deaf!! Lloyd definitely deserves to be where he is now. Hope he dont quit.

Comment by sandi on November 24 12:53

People seem to forget that all the other judges were pretty mean to Jedward at the beginning and they aren't much older than Lloyd. They also got boo'd almost every single week. I think they had it much worse than Lloyd has.
Comment by Sarah on November 24 12:54

yes, Louis is harsh but didnt he save Lloyd a few weeks ago cos he had more potential than Jamie. I think that Louis likes Lloyd. He was just fustrated that the twins went out. To be fair, I saw them live on the show on Saturday and the twins were brilliant, one of the best acts on the night by far. If your on a show, you are subject to bad comments and you should be able t take them. Lloyd will be a better singer and more determined. He'll get through it. Go Lloyd! You can do it!
Comment by mel on November 24 12:55

May be young but if you cant hack it..why enter..he will get work whatever as will most of them...its a given!! Whilst Im at it and will prob cop it for this ..but Stacy..is the weird giggly verbal d...... a con?? hmmm
Comment by anon on November 24 12:56

...ps..whilst I think Stacy is very good..and will prob win this .she has a super voice and reminds me of Leona ..looks aswell..hope so.
Comment by anon on November 24 12:57

That`s awful; Louis` comments about Lloyd on Saturday night were despicable and unjust. Lloyd is only 16 years old, it must be so much stress for him to cope with. I hope he realises his talent, and Louis is given a speaking to by Simon, Cheryl and Danni.
Comment by Sophie on November 24 12:59

Louis keeps going on about how he is out of his depth but it's hardly Lloyd's fault that he is being kept in the competition. After Louis voted for Jamie to leave over Lloyd he should really just stop going on about it, he had perfect opportunity to get rid of him.
Comment by LV on November 24 12:59

I thought the idea of judges was to provide "constructive" criticism....Louie, that is destructive not constructive, stop being just plain nasty mate, it is not appreciated by the viewing public. Lets face it, Louie is locked in the dark ages.
Comment by Janita Morrell on November 24 13:26

Lloyd is awful. He should have gone weeks ago.

And never mind all this "Nasty Louis Walsh" business.....say the same about Cheryl then becasue when Ricki was in the bottom two SHE said "I can't believe Ricki is here and JON AND EDWARD are still in the competition".
Its ok for Cheryl to say it though eh?

Those twins are just as young and have had to endure far more than that Lloyd...he really needs to pull himself together!
Comment by Ruby on November 24 13:31

Agree with all about Louis' comments re; Lloyd but Julie needs to remember that the reason Louis was not on show for 2 weeks was due to the death of a close friend so her remark was insensitive.
Comment by ML on November 24 13:31

Lloyd's just not got what it takes in his voice to make it big, he always sounds slightly flat and off key. He should be the next out to let better singers survive but Louis should think a bit more about what he says.
LLoyd is only young and that must hurt but at the same time there are plenty of young singers (eg Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift) surviving very well out there - it just comes down to pure talent and unfortunately Lloyd just hasn't got the X Factor. Joe is a brilliant singer, spot on perfect practically every time, there is no comparison between the two.
Comment by judephf on November 24 13:43

Louis had the chance to get rid of Lloyd last week when he was up against Jamie,saying Lloyd had more potential to get better despite constantly saying he was out of his depth. Then his comments this week he really is an odious vile little man.
Comment by Andrea on November 24 13:46

Contestants know when they sign up for X Factor that they have to take the rough with the smooth. That's life - in any job. It's bound to get tougher in the later stages. Nobody likes nasty comments, but sadly,it's all part of the media game.
Comment by Elizabeth Harfleet on November 24 13:49

Louis just threw a random bitter comment out because he knew the hype over Jedward was over. A few weeks before Cheryl had said the exact same thing about his act when one of her boys went home. However Lloyd is very young and Louis expected everyone to sympathise with Jedward for being only 18, well Lloyds only 16 so take you own advice for once Louis and play fair!!
Comment by Jules on November 24 13:53

Julie....Louis was missing for two weeks because his very good friend DIED!! Stephen Gately from boyzone in case you havent heard!! So maybe you shouldnt be watching the show if you cant understand how it works! Its entertainment get over it.
Comment by Paula on November 24 13:54

Lloyd has got to go, he just does not have a strong enough voice, ok so he is just 16 so what? he knew what he was getting into, can't stand the heat get out the kitchen !!
Comment by Belinda on November 24 13:58

I feel sorry for the lad.

Cheryl should never have picked him in the first place.

He's a so-so singer who looks a lot worse against the more talented singers.
Comment by MJ on November 24 14:03

I agree that Llaydd is far to young at the moment but Loius should sort himself out... I mean happy about two boys who could NOT sing staying in when he lost a great act in Miss Frank.. i mean he has got a serious problem give up the job Loius you cant do it anymore
Comment by Lisa on November 24 14:18

joe is the only one with a melodic voice the others just shout i would have thought all the judges should have been able to sing to pass sensible comments
Comment by vivienne on November 24 14:19

louis went missing because a close friend of his died, what do you expect? Nobody should blame hime that. Also he's there to comment on the acts and thats what he does - he's only saying what the rest of us are thinking about lloyd
Comment by Rachel on November 24 14:19

Julie dont show your ignorance, Louis was away for two weeks grieving the loss of his friend, have more respect. Louis Walsh knows more about bands and talent than you lot put together, dont forget it was Louis was discovered westlife and not Simon. Louis has been on the show from the very start and therefore knows a lot more than Cheryl and Danni. Lloyd is not a good singer, he is an alright singer. His voice is not strong enough. Yea he is young but so were the twins and that didnt stop you british people giving them death threats and being horrible to them did it? Lloyd is only getting votes from young teenager girls who dont know any better. The only talent that is left in this competition is Stacey, Joe and Olly. They are going to be the final three.
Comment by Bella on November 24 14:26

Also are we forgetting that the twins went all this way because you the public wanted them there. Yes they could have went weeks ago if simon didnt take it to deadlock but lucy had a great voice but no charisma on stage and thats what people didnt get. Also remember that this is not the first time Louis has said that lloyd did not have a strong voice, he has said it many times. Louis said at the start of last weeks show that he knew jedward were in trouble and he said it in the papers and on tv that he didnt believe the twins would go any further so he has been critical on his own acts too. You all seem to forget that it is the public who vote and not the judges, yes they can decide when the sing off comes along but who puts them there? the public do!! I wouldnt be surprised if Cheryl put Lloyd up to this so he would get more votes. Danyl was in the papers and so was Jamie about quitting the show and all so they would get more votes. This is a tactical competition people!! And Cheryl getting Lloyd to come down and hold her hand the other week while he was singing and to come down to hug her a few weeks ago was pathetic, she so full of her self importance it sickens me
Comment by bella on November 24 14:35

Louis should retire! he has no idea what he is chatting about!! He only does boy bands! Lloyd may not be the best in the competition but he was better than Jedward! What an awful decision Louis you MUPPET!!!
Comment by maria on November 24 14:37

if lloyd and danyl cannot take louis comments what chance do they stand when the press start digging into there past as well as there familys. It only proves they are not up to the things that stardom will bring, it makes louis right in the end..
Comment by john on November 24 14:44

i think he's absolutely rubbish and louis is right, he shouldnt be there!
fair enough john and edward were terrible but atleast they were funny to watch and never seemed to take any criticism to heart and they arent too much older then lloyd.
Comment by ravi on November 24 14:51

Let him go, some decent acts went out against him,just becuase hes pretty? It's meant to be a singing competition!
Think about how much stick Jedward had to put up with and they stuck it out! Hows Lloyd going to handle all that the newspaper and gossip columns will throw at him, if he can't stand the heat...
Comment by Sarah on November 24 14:53

Poor Lloyd - he is such a teen hearthrobe and a sweet singer! Louis has a nerve to be critical of his singing when Jedward could not string two notes together, never mind two words. Please stay Lloyd - for the sake of my 15 year old daughter who loves you!!
Comment by Margaret A on November 24 14:57

OMG Louis shud jus leave Lloyd alone he's only young and he's not even dat bad. He's been getting better in the last few weeks and he is completely gorgeous!!!!So Louis just SHUT UP cuz we all luv Lloyd nd yur comment r mean, nasty and unnecessary
Comment by Aoife Darcy on November 24 15:12

And this is a sure fire way of making sure he gets the votes this week...what a stupid statement, there's no way he'll quit and as for being too young to cope..John & Edward coped with far worse, they're only two years older. Come on Lloyd earn your votes by giving us a good performance not by using silly sympathy tactics.
I was shocked he wasn't in the bottom two, he is way out of his depth.

Comment by Sandra on November 24 15:29

What a lack of class to say something like that in front of the public and cameras..I was quite shocked when I heard that..

You are just supposed to say that your protegee shouldn'e have been knocked out, that's it...why to hurt othter peoples feelings??? No need for that
Comment by Joanna on November 24 15:35

Well if lloyd is threatening to quit at this stage because of a few bad commnets from one judge then how would he fair if he was to win and be in the worlds eye. He needs to put it behind him and prove louis wrong. If he cant do that then perhaps he should quit and and come back next year when he is more mature. Unfortunately the music business is cut throat and not all plain sailing. I also think he would be better in a group he would get more experience and have solo vocal parts if it works it works but now i feel he is struggling. shame really he seems to be a nice sensitive youg man.
Comment by Chris on November 24 16:13

why is louis so nasty to Lloyd and why is louis still a judge on this show his rude and arrogant ways have got to stop i have stoped watching this show it is not nice to watch any more good luck to all the rest of them....
Comment by janet on November 24 16:14

I feel sorry for Lloyd, but he should have gone some time ago. At this stage, in my opinion, he is just not good enough.
Comment by marybecs on November 24 16:20

3rd comment...loyd a nice young guy and should be part of boyband..hes the type that Louis likes.eg Westlife etc..and great they are too..Boyzone etc..But..voice wise..consider Michael Jackson at that age hmmm.
Comment by anon on November 24 16:23

Can't understand why Louis is on the show - it should be him going, not Lloyd. Hang on in there Lloyd. Louis makes unconstructive comments all the time.
Comment by Sherran Ireland on November 24 16:46

I feel sorry for Lloyd and Louis should't be so mean to him please don't leave Lloyd
Comment by Siobhan on November 24 16:53

Listen people ned to stop being such hypocrits!! Truth has to be told and Lloyd is rubbish, as rubbish as Jedward. This whole X factor competion is such a joke this year! This should be a singing competition like Dannii keeps pointing. For people like Jamie or Lucy to be out whilst Lloyd is still in is appalling! The whole nation needs to stop to be kind coz the guy is just cute. He's got no voice and it's a disaster hearing him singing.
Comment by Muriel on November 24 16:58

Lloyd is a sweet good looking lad but he cant sing. Which is the point of the show...isnt it?? Louis however needs to think about how he talks to people. He is arrogant and childish and the show would be much better off with him booted off.How about some eye candy for us girls. Robbie Williams would be a brilliant judge or maybe someone like Will Young who like has experienced the proccess like Cheryl.
Comment by kim chard on November 24 16:58

Louis doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. If this is a talent contest, the twins should have gone the week Lucy was kicked out. Lloyd, you are doing everybody proud back home here, you're getting better and better each week. If you were Irish, Louis would love you! Don't take any notice of it!
Comment by Emma Winter on November 24 17:55

About time Louis left the show!
He is the only judge who is constantly bitching and throwing the rule book around week after week.
Not only this, he has put down Dermot presenter and constantly throws jibes at poor old Lloyd. Lloyd can sing, Louis and his excuses for bands cannot simply.
Comment by shaun on November 24 18:09

Lloyd is NOT rubbish and he can sing! Why the hell would he have been picked in the 1st place and why would he still be there if he was rubbish? Louis has got a damn cheek to say that he shoudn't be there wen those twins who can't sing stayed all those weeks and better singers have gone! Lloyd is the loveliest, sweetest boy and has taken all critisism very well over the last few weeks. People should realise there is only so much a 16 year old boy can take and hey has he quit?! No because he's stronger than that and it gonna take more than Louis Walsh to get rid of him! Go Lloyd!!!!
Comment by Emma Jones on November 24 18:31

How does Louis have the audacity to say that Lloyd can't sing when he was mentoring the twins who coundn't even breathe in time with each other!
Comment by Juliet on November 24 19:07

why are we moaning someboby must have voted for the twins awful as they were Louie is a fake he trys to be tough but just spouts rubish what kind of judge is he any way you have only got to look at his choice of groups to go through to his final 3 he should be an EX factor
Comment by jac on November 24 19:27

Lloyd should go! I think Louis was spot on when he said he should be in a boy band. His voice isn't strong enough for a solo career. The only reason he's still there is because he's good looking with nice hair.
Comment by tracy on November 24 19:48

once again the x factoe is becoming a farce.louis ought to think before he speaks,danni why did you mess about with your decision are you afraid that stacey might get beat by ollie,you yourself how good he was yet you messed about with the vote off.
i feel sorry for john and edward but they are not singers and i wish them all the luck in the world.
come on louie lloyd doesnt have the best voice but he is young and has time to develop.
SO COME ON YOU JUDGES GET ON WITH THE JOB OF MENTORING YOUR ACTS AND LEAVE ALL THE UNECCESARY BAD COMMENTS IN YOUR MOUTHS.
JUST BE CONSTRUCTIVE WITHOUT BEING NASTY.
Comment by kath on November 24 19:53

Louis should leave, his comments are rude, he doesnt engage his brain before speaking, he cannot judge let alone pick star performers. Simon must only have him on the show to make himself look good, I cannot see any other reason for the small minded biggot to be there. Louis - your time is up, go.
Comment by Justine on November 24 20:05

He should have went out weeks ago.
The fact he's still in the show is a complete joke.
Comment by Nikki on November 24 21:01

louis can talk aload of rubbish sometimes... he ''loved'' having jedward in the comp.... they were shockingly bad!! they couldnt sing.. .and well louis has no acts left what does that say about his contestants??? i admit miss frank shouldnt of gone out when they did!!! but jedward should of gone weeks ago!!! not a surprise they got booed!!!
lloyd is amazing, he can sing, hes hot and hey hes gunna have more offered to him than any of louis' acts are...
i saw miss frank were singing in a pub in hereford!!! louis should stick his comments... people can guess where!!!!!!!
Comment by amy on November 24 21:19

I think he should have gone weeks ago, he cant sing, i think hes doin this to gain sympathy.
Comment by Anne on November 24 21:24

He should have gone weeks ago. If he's stressing out about one bad comment he's not going to last long in the real world. He just hasn't got a great voice.
Comment by Lucy on November 24 21:30

It's a waste of time watching it - the judges are only interested in themselves, and nasty comments spoil the whole thing. Me and my family have stopped watching - it's not a singing competition anymore!
Comment by Sharon on November 24 21:48

kick him out or let him walk,HE CAN,NT SING
Comment by paddyo on November 24 21:49

Lloyd is just young his voice is still devopling ....Louis of all folk should know what potential he has . Boyzone werent exactly the most talented group when they first got together watching them on the late show was cringe worthy so why is he downing someone who does have talent that just needs nurtured ... he is just 16 Louis give him a break
Comment by christine on November 24 21:52

Hi lloyd I think you are really good and you are so cute and i would love to meet you but i cant.you will win and all the best bye. From Jemimah Mercer age 9
Comment by Jemimah on November 24 21:58

i`d like 2 c louis, danny n simon sing live every week n take the criticism that the contestants do. lloyd still has strength left. Go Lloyd show them wot u have left
Comment by crena on November 24 21:59

I don't care for Louis' 'sniping' style but am afraid Lloyd is a much weaker singer than many of the contestants who have already left. He should have gone before Lucy and Jamie.
Comment by jan on November 24 22:00

lloyd shud have gon first y is he feelin bad afta a few bad comments jedward had bad comments every week and they neva cracked
lloyd sucks and he needs to get out amateur voice
Comment by an winchester on November 24 22:20

lloyd is a bean. danyl to win! and jedward rule :)
Comment by leanne on November 24 22:42

It is a shame about Lloyd but Louis is right, he should be in a boy band, he is a very nice looking boy and he will be great in a band like Boy Zone. He also need to learn that when you want to be in show business you have to learn to take the nasty remarks that will come with the territory.
Comment by Cary on November 24 22:48

dont quit lloyd. all the females will vote for you cos your so cute. stay in and give it laldy this weekend.i think daniel will go this week. you and joe are my favourites.louis is an idiot putting you down when he picked the twins. keep fighting son
Comment by irene donachie on November 24 23:14

Louis is just like a bitchy woman,wish he'd go, not the acys, except Jedward, thank god they're out
Comment by samyjo on November 24 23:17

I agree that what Louis said was uncalled for however Lloyd isn't up to the standard of the others and should have gone weeks ago. Also both Cheryl and Dannii have made similar comments about other contestants. Why is it ok for them to do it but not him? Simon never resorts to those tactics.
Comment by Leah on November 24 23:22

louis absolutly right lloyd does not deserve to be there just cos hes young and cute the truthg hurts and there no one more nasty than simon but no ones commented on that its a singing contest better singers have gone to be honest theres only dannie honest
Comment by gez on November 24 23:43

Has everyone forgotton Simons negative comments
about John and Edward for quite a few weeks!! They are only 18 and they got booed every week, they didn't whinge about it, they worked hard and came back fighting every week. Lloyd is a lovely lad but he can't sing in tune and does deserve to be in the bottom two. Pity he can't take it on the chin like Jedward
Comment by angela on November 24 23:55

Louis Walsh is a mean minded, arrogant and rude person who the public have lost all respect for. HE SHOULD BE KICKED OFF THE SHOW! I agree that Lloyd isn't the strongest singer BUT there are ways of putting a point across without being downright nasty...and this from a man who was backing those awful twins, Jedward! It defies belief. GO HOME LOUIS - YOU@VE LOST THE PLOT!
Comment by foxboro on November 25 00:16

Louis walsh is a bad loser when really he should be used to it, he has never had a winner and the groups he picked this year were dire. He picks on Lloyd because he is young and vulnerable, traits of a true bully.
Comment by andrea on November 25 00:26

no please dont go you have a really good voice and i think you could win it, dont listen to louis he doesnt know what he is talking he is just angry because his acts were in the bottom two.
please please dont quit
Comment by Sarah on November 25 07:23

lloyd dont leave you deserve to be there please dont leave you have proven every time your in the bottom that your a lovely young man LOUIS WALSH YOUR A DISGRACE HES A YOUNG LAD THAT CAN SING MORE HAN CAN BE SAID FOR JEDWARD YOU HAVE A CHEEK TO DIS ANYONE WHEN YOU TRIED TO PROMOTE 2 GUYS THAT HAVE NO TUNE OR RYTHM GIVE LLOYD A BREAK YOUR TWINS WENT THREW BECAUSE THEY WERE IRISH NOTHING TO DO WITH SINGING YOUR TRYING TO BE SIMON BUT YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME YOUR A SAD OLD MAN
Comment by sharon on November 25 07:31

Rise above it Lloyd. You will always get adverse critics even if you are a headliner. That is what gets publicity. At the end of the day any publicity good or bad must mean you are being noticed. For what it is worth I think you have not peaked yet, give it another couple of years, you are young enough to wait! Best wishes and lots of luck!
Comment by terry on November 25 07:46

The one,s who should quit is the panel
Comment by c shields on November 25 07:54

read the comments on Lloyd,there has to be a runt of any litter, any comp has a weak or lame dog,doesnt mean they are useless or deserve knocks. what is being said about Lloyd could be said to anyone,s Son, brother their own sibling..we all would shout Stop ,get excited , we all give to Child in need, we all go aarhh at a child hurt.we most of us have a caring streak for our own.. we took these x factor contestants into our homes every week , we accept we all have favourites , lets all accept lloyd is 16yrs old.. and as ive said we can most of us relate to in our own families.... so why join in and bully and be a hypocrite give to children in need and yet not support a child who is probably terrified ,excited,and having no brother there to support him as Jedward had ,is looking for a bit of support knowing he wont win he is surprised every week he is still there... he is intellingent enough to know he isnt the best singer. it is an experiance for HIM not us.... Good Luck Lloyd in the future and well done you on getting as far as you have... If you were my Son i would be very proud...
Comment by little Kathrine F on November 25 08:33

Louis is right he should have been in the bottom 2. And it's ok when Cheryl says things like that about Jedward or when Dannii says it. It's ok when they boo Jedward? Very hypocritical of people in my opinion to allow it to happen to Jedward but the second lil lloyd is crying...
Comment by Brom on November 25 10:03

I think Lloyd should go to school and carry on with his education, he is too young! Saing that, Luis made horrible comments about Jamie too, that's what they do to make the show running. leo
Comment by zulfia on November 25 10:40

LLoyd may not be the best but he was certainly better than those horrible twins and did not deseve to leave the show before them
Comment by PollyA on November 25 13:18

Yes Loius is a strange mn why on earth did he want Jedward in they couldnt sing. I agree LLoyd has sung flat a couple of times. but he is only a yongster and doesnt want stupid comments from Loui why is he a judge he is so childish with his silly rules. simon is not much better. I dont watch the show anymore as it is all a fix.
Comment by val on November 25 13:30

Louis had lost all credibility as a judge when he said John and Edward were in his top 3 Lloyd should so not listen to his dribble as he he has clearly lost touch with reality. We should all lobby to replace him instead.
Comment by Paula on November 26 10:39

i think lloyd daniels ia brill 4 a youn teenage boy not only is he good buh he's lovely looking . I Find louis a right pain this year with all of his ' rules' every week somebody has broken the rules in his head . louis coudn't talk most weeks with jedward as i find they didnt deserve to be in the show it wasn't a talent show it is a singing show ! I love lloydd and want to arry him ;) Lloyd 2 win
Comment by jessica murtagh on November 28 16:40

Well, remember that Cheryl one said "I can't believe John and Edward are still here and Ricki's not" so it was like a pay back except that Walsh did not do that on purpose. Oh, and Jedward were strong and did not break dowm like Lloyd. It is not fair that people judge Walsh and forgive Charyl when they both did the exact same thing.
Comment by Isabel on June 16 13:20
