It was no surprise, according to The Sun that Louis would choose the Conways over Maria Lawson. Maria revealed, “I knew what was going to happen before I went out on stage. I knew I was going to go as Louis came to me just before I sang and whispered in my ear ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so, so sorry’.
Maria revealed that she saw Louis in the corridor after the show and that he didn’t say anything to her. “He looked really pale and upset”
In regard to keeping The Conways over Maria, Louis Walsh has been quoted in The Daily Star as saying “It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. I didn’t sleep at all on Saturday night after the vote. I’m man enough now to say I think I might have made the wrong decision.”

Thankyou Louis for saying you might of made the wrong decision,It was so clear on the night what you had done.
Standing his ground wouuld of lost him all credabilty.
I wonder how the Conways are feeling they aere really left with nothing now, they have lost everything nobody will give them a chance now they will allways be known as the girls who were basically rubbish.

Some Judges Are Kicking Themselves Now….
Who’s sorry now, Messrs Cowell and Walsh?
It seems cold, harsh reality has hit X Factor public enemies #1 and #2. As Tabby reported earlier, Simon Cowell has had a change of heart about voting for the Conway Sisters.
Well, it seems Louis Walsh…
