Yeah the contract-thing was another reason why I was hesitant. I didn't want to get emotionally attached to the acts knowing they'd either get kicked out for racist/homophobic/whatever Simon's utter bullshit reasons and think they aren't good OR be trapped like 1D. It's not a win for anyone really, is it? Besides L and the acts, we suffer. We can't vote Louis's acts cause it's rigged and we shouldn't give the views and we are being emotionally manipulated and used too. (1/2)
(2/2) I really hope Louis negotiated something good out of this. But after all these years I can’t let myself be optimistic and I’m now afraid that Simon will once again change the rules. I don’t think he realized that the gp would fall in love with him. That must piss him off.
Yeah, it’s a shitty situation all around because you do want to spport Louis and his acts, but obviously we know what getting deep into TXF machine means. Your last point though about how Simon probably didn’t realize that the general public would fall in love with Louis……that’s something I definitely agree with.
Despite being known as such a ~~~smart businessman~~~~, Simon Cowell is fucking idiot. He saw One Direction’s potential, but aside from that, he got basically every single thing wrong when it came to that band. He burned them out and drove them into a hiatus when they had the potential to be a long-lasting successful act if they’d just had time to breathe and stretch their own wings instead of rushing out albums and tours every year and exhausting themselves. He failed to see that Harry was not the only member of the band with potential - ALL of the boys had serious potential as solo artists, as they’ve all now proven. He failed to understand that pushing Louis and Harry into the closet and hiding their relationship only made the band weaker and alienated the most powerful aspect of the band’s fanbase. He failed to realize that making Louis feel like he was unworthy was never going to work in the long-term because Louis is too talented, intelligent, clever, and strong for that. No matter how insecure Simon made Louis feel, the other boys always rallied around him like he was their sun and many fans did the same. And now by making Louis an X-Factor judge, likely through his typical manipulative and threatening means, he’s given the entire UK the chance to rally around Louis and support him too.
So really, in the end, Simon is just another dumb fucking white man with a lot of money who gets way too much credit for the few things he’s done right while doing most things wrong. And that’s why ultimately Louis will win, regardless of how long it takes and regardless of how much Simon tries to hurt him and manipulate him and fuck him over in the meantime. ✌🏻
