new girl band?

I thought Louis Walsh had said that he never wanted to manage an all girl 'band' again, as they are too much trouble.

Me thinks Louis just loves all the attention and fawning that he gets, "oh please mister, please make me a superstar".

They won't be a band as they won't be playing any instruments and I suspect that their appearance and ability to dance, may prove to be more important than their actual singing voices, as they have computer programmes that can sort out dodgy sounding recordings.

From my other post in music forum:

So,
I actually went to these auditions. (im embarrassed to admit it but i did)
I went on saturday morning. Q was grand - spotted so many ooompa looompa's riduculosly over-dressed it wasn't funny.Massively overdone hair, make-up, tan, outfits etc..

So, set up was - 20 girls at a time brought into stage area. 5 at a time on stage, each stepped forward and sing few lines til "thank you" was said by louis.

Have to say, some great singers, and more awful singers.

Fully equipped - stage, lights, video recording, monitors, sound engineers (well - he must have gone for coffee coz he had no clue how to adjust levels)

I'm now going to say, 2 girls were already part of the line up as we had known before applying Jodie - Kians from westlife other half (not irish) and this Michelle (model not a singer) so already he is now looking for 3 not 5 as advertised.

Now, the only girl i got speaking to, was from UK also, and had been personally invited by louis by phone to come over and audition(also not irish as advertised). so now he is looking for 2 not 5.

She is a lovely girl - now i didn't get to hear her sing but hopefully she gets it - she was such a sweet girl.

But it really upset me that really, there wasn't 5 places up for grabs- not really. So, it was a waste of time me taking a day off work etc.

And really, if the packaging isn't on point, it doesn't matter if you have incredible talent...

It was all looks, i know you can make anybody sound great in studio these days with all the vocal effects.... Really dis-heartening..

Now, vented. all better

so, just after seeing that another girl Linzi cowap was also selected before auditions to be included.

That means 4 people of the 5 were already in there.

PR stunt - the whole thing me thinks.
