Louis Walsh makes scathing remark, says not a fan of Irish singer Ronan Keating

Former X Factor judge Louis Walsh has stated that he does not like Boyzone vocalist Ronan Keating. Louis remarked on Angela Scanlon's Ask Me Anything on RTE on Saturday, November 19, that he looked after Westlife and that they are doing well.

Everywhere they are selling out.

Then he made a subtle remark, implying that too many people on television pretend as though everyone is kind when they are not. He went on to say that it was simply his viewpoint and that he didn't like everyone. The music mogul, 70, was then asked if he believed Keating would be a good match for James Bond as the hunt for Daniel Craig's replacement continues. Walsh stated that he is not qualified to play James Bond.

This isn't the first time Walsh has made scathing remarks for pop artist Keating. Despite spending years together as members of Boyzone and subsequently, as part of Keating's solo career, the two appear to have a nasty rivalry. During an interview with Q Magazine in 2012, Louis slammed his former protege, labeling Ronan talentless and spoiled.




Louis attacked Ronan, claiming that success had changed him and that he felt he could create songs because he enjoyed good hotels and chauffeur-driven automobiles.
