The X Factor producers have shaken things up this year, with three brand new judges joining the ITV show!
One of the new judges is ex-contestant Louis Tomlinson, who of course finished third in 2010 with One Direction.
But how does Louis Tomlinson rate as a judge? Well, we’ve not seen too much of him yet – and he will need to grow into the role a bit – but Twitter is going mad over Louis.
Of course, One Directioners are flocking to praise the singer, so there’s a fair amount of obsessive crap to sift through. But here’s 15 tweets rating Louis Tomlinson as an X Factor judge.

4. Better Than Grimshaw, Not as Great Tulisa. Right…
I like Louis Tomlinson as an X Factor judge. I would say he is better than Nick Grimshaw , on a par with Nicole Scherzinger but not as great as Tulisa or Kelly Rowland.

5. There’s A LOT of Tweets About This. Like, a Lot.
If Louis Tomlinson’s doesn’t get one of the one direction boys to be his guest judge when judges houses come, I’ll actually be upset #xfactor

9. You’ve Been Warned, Louis…
Louis Tomlinson went from being judgemental about X Factor on social media to being a judge on the show… I expect so much honestly and judgment from him otherwise I’ll be disappointed..
