Cowell & Walsh clash on X Factor
Saturday 28 November 2009
Walsh endured a merciless night of abuse from his fellow pop mogul on a night which saw the five remaining contestants sing versions of Take That and Elton John classics.
The bickering between judges began as Walsh criticised Danyl Johnson for using children backing singers after his warbling interpretation of 'Your Song'.
Attacking Walsh for criticising the young choir, Cowell snapped: 'Louis, you are like the dark cloud on the show.'
Cowell, who went on to congratulate Robbie Williams on his engagement, later called Walsh 'Scrooge' as he sarcastically asked him for permission to introduce Olly Murs to the stage.
Lloyd Daniels' version of the ballad 'A Million Love Songs' also attracted criticism.
Walsh attracted boos and hisses from the crowd as he said: 'The public obviously liked you lots more than I do.'
Daniels was shot down in flames for his interpretation of 'I'm Still Standing', and Walsh continued his campaign against the Welshman, quipping: 'Your're just about standing... it was a little karaoke for me'.
The night appeared to belong to Joe McElderry, however, who continued to wow the judges with 'Could It Be Magic' and Elton John's 'Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word'.
The five will learn their fate on tomorrow night's show.
