John and Edward to Go But Oh No Simon Goes Crazy

Simon Cowell is a money making smug man. I can't believe he did that. He says he got such stick for letting it go to the public last week, then what does he do? He leaves it to the public vote again. Seriously, he'd rather see John and Edward over Lucy Jones? Lucy has a supreme singing voice and a great vocal range. Jedward are comical and have little going from them apart from big hair and bad dancing.

I am in no doubt that the only reason that Simon kept them in was to keep his programme in the newspapers and constantly talked about. It was a cynical ploy of his to make sure that the show he makes so much money out of is always in the headlines. X Factor in just another way for Simon to boost his ego. Simon had already said plenty of times that Jedward were making a mockery of his show. I now have no respect for the man. Simon Cowell needs to be ashamed of himself for what he did to Lucy Jones. If Lucy had of gone to a good act she could have got over it so much easier, but losing to John and Edward when your as good as she is... well, it's just not fair.

Just to remind you of how good Lucy was even from the start. She sings one of the biggest songs a female vocalist can sing. Whitney Houstons "I Will Always Love You".

Jedward - John and Edward, So bad its good

Sometimes I'm glad Tiernan our baby was born English. Irish people have a hard time as it is, trying to escape the stereotype of being fools. John and Edward have knocked us back years. They must know at this stage how bad they, yet they keep getting worse. Seriously are they even trying to improve?



This week on the X Factor they sang the Ghostbusters theme tune and it was like something a school would put on for a talent night. They came onto the stage in the Ghostbusters station wagon, it was just a sheet of cardboard. They really find it difficult to sing in tune and in time, and the rest of the contestants are far superior singers. I have to admit Jedward are unique, and in their own way are entertaining. I'm sure they will get through tomorrow night, as they have a legion of kids voting for them.

Ben, my 7 year old, would vote for them every week if we let him. He raves about them all the time and if we slag them off, which we can't help, he says "You take that back" or "How dare you". He really does love them, but at his age he loves most silly things and they don't come sillier than those two.

They are even now doing Jedward t-shirts look. For the love of god, where is the humanity.



I'm sure X Factors John and Edward are nice guys at heart, but they don't belong in a singing competition. Please stop Jedward, they are making a holy show of us Irish. As if Boyzone and Westlife didn't ruin the reputation of Irish culture enough, now we have to contend with these terrible tone-deaf twins.
