Louis Walsh: Girls Aloud were very needy

The X Factor judge prefers boybands

Louis Walsh has managed Westlife since 1998

Louis Walsh didn’t enjoy working with Girls Aloud.

The X Factor judge mentored the group on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.

‘Five girls are high maintenance,’ he tells the Belfast Telegraph. ‘They were very needy.’

Louis, 57, reckons boybands are easier to work with.  

‘There wasn’t the honesty that I had with Boyzone or Westlife,’ he adds.

The music manager now works with Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole, 26, on The X Factor.
