Louis Has the Right X-Factor

By Grainne McLoughlin

Irish pop guru Louis Walsh has been told by X-Factor contestant Nicholas Dorsett that he made the right decision in choosing to keep him in the competition last week.

The 18-year-old, who was saved by mentor Walsh after he landed himself in the bottom two alongside fellow contestant Chenai, said the Irishman had made the right choice and that he was determined to prove it.

Talking after his live performance he said: “I feel that I’ve got more to give and I want to grow as the competition goes on. I’m very thankful that he picked me and hopefully I won’t let him down a second time.

“It was very hard because you start questioning if the public really like you and whether there’s any point in me being in the competition. You start to doubt yourself a little bit.”

Dorsett is one of Walsh’s last two acts. And it seems he’s holding out his hopes on hotly-tipped X-factor act Shayne Ward. The young singer, has wowed both the judges and the public and has also garnered the praise of popstar Robbie Williams — who is reported to have backed Ward to scoop the reality TV crown after citing him “a born star”.

Fellow judge Simon Cowell also has two acts left while Sharon Osbourne has all four contestants remaining.
