I've been a big fan of these two ever since they uttered the immortal lines "Hi I'm John" "and I'm Edward" "and together we are... ...John and Edward!" but now it appears millions around the country are too with their odds of winning being slashed and rumours that they polled more of the public vote than anyone else at the weekend.

The Fun police reckon it's not fair because they aren't as talented as other contestants. Yes they are they are talented in a different way than the other X factor finalist ie. they know how to entertain people where as the others know how to copy every other plastic, manufactured, processed, soulless pop puppet under Cowell's control.


He has successfully managed to hijack the singles charts with his processed, overhyped dross thanks to these talent shows and the public are now rebelling against this and the whole thing is being eating away from the inside by itself. Cowell should realise that he created this monster and this is all his own doing. Cheryl Cole can shove it as well.


Go on the Twins!!!

Please, don't get me started on these two pathetic people !

No no no no. I agree about processed pop (pap) that is produced. But these simply have no talent. At all. it's the JohnSargeant syndrome - people don't want to watch to see talent, they watch to laugh at them. And it's sad that these kids are brainwashed enough to want to be embarrassed every week. Mat they make some money and then get a job in tesco

i reckon that John and Edward would make a better half back pairing for the bulls than they would being successful pop stars,they're both probably quicker than deacon as well

Waste of space.

i agree that they're both talentless idiots but something needs to be done about the x-factor. maybe them 2 winning it will show cowell that manufactured puppets singing someone elses songs is not what should be happening!

rock n roll!

It's just popular culture consuming itself, vaguely encouraging in that people eventually resist being treated as passive dupes who can be relied upon to shell out each week to make a rich man even richer.

Interesting that none of the singers get paid despite being the substance of the show.

Apart from the fact people are still voting every week so millions still flowing into the Cowell coffers.

Even voting to keep the two idiots in is playing into his hands. Either way he wins.
Unless no-one votes ever.

I want Jedward to win as well, those kids have some serious talent!

They're ace aren't they? Not as good as same difference but good none the less.

I've never understood why people in Eire are allowed to enter these sort of things. Is it just an extention of the frankly bizarre British misconception that Westlife and Boyzone are "our boys"?

In the interests of equality, sHouldn't we open our competitions to every surrounding country? I'd hate to think that two utter gimps were waiting forlornly in Norway, Iceland or France wishing they could inflict themselves on a British talent show.

Should try and get them to play at Odsal next season!

To form a talentless trio with another (former) baby face?

Yeah but to make them all look truly the same we'd need to smash their pallettes into the back of their throats and then rebuild them with a metal head.

Bagsy me do it!

Mainland Europe is a massive untapped resource of oddities. What a great idea that is!!!

the cheeky girls applied one year didn't they?

I agree, Cowell gets rich whatever. However the point I was making is that at least when people deliberately screw up the idea of voting for the most 'talented' they are no longer acting as passive consumers of the show. They are deliberately undermining it.

Romanians living in England as opposed to Irish boys living in Ireland.

I don't follow pop music much so I will have to bow to the knowledge of young hipsters like MBBB and tigertot. I will look out for this pairing on the telly.

Don't ask me about Romanians either - just to say the name is a bit of a non starter as there actually not from Rome.

Given the size of the empire, I would have thought that most Romans were in fact from outside the City.

You are clearly a man with taste and an ear for real vocal talent, unfortunately incestuous duets are a big no no this year.
