Does anyone else really dislike Rough Copy?

I think they're far too cocky, their song choices have been abysmal, they're really cheesy (and not in a good way) and their miming on Saturday topped it all off for me. Now there are reports that they were booing Abi on Sunday night?
Although they are obviously being favoured by the producers for some reason so things aren't going to change, are they?

They are the best performers though,more comfortable on stage than any of the other acts, they do need a lot of vocal work though.
I don't really understand the accusations of "cocky" against ANY performer. Surely, part of what we buy into is their confidence. Having said that, I do find "shy" people difficult - they make you work for every little bit of interaction and it's usually not worth the bother.
I'm not sure about their image. I don't think they have one. It's all a bit mixed up at the moment.
So <controversial> are they Muslims?
Their style feels like a rough copy of Kanye West (esp the skirts).
They will be next out
Also any truth that one of them has been convicted of serious crimes.....hence him not being able to get a visa for the states.
Why would you wonder that?
Well, I was wondering about the guy who wears the skirt and I thought it looked a bit muslim and then about the other guy who coudn't get a visa for the US. Also they seem to be going on about god all the time.
Ah right. I think the skirt thing is the latest 'in thing' for the 'groovy kids'. Jaden Smith adopts that look quite a bit. The visa issue is because he has a drug arrest (cannabis), also assault, but, I think, like Australia, the US is really strict when it comes to drug convictions (Cheryl Cole's assault charge doesn't stop her travelling there, so...).
They wear crosses, so I would say they're Christian. Photo of big crosses in this article:

I don't know for sure but I'm pretty certain that if he had been the press would have pounced on it and it'd be all over the papers and online. So I doubt it. (unless you consider the marijuana thing a 'serious' crime)
Okay cool, thank you, not muslim then, not that it would matter, I was just curious.
It's outlined in this article:

'Ajobe was cautioned for common assault after an incident outside a train station in 2006 — he said someone had threatened his girlfriend and he retaliated. The following year, he served 250 hours of community service for affray after being involved in a mass brawl. As recently as 2010 he was cautioned for possession of cannabis'
I don't think these are serious crimes, though the language in the article is inflammatory. As recent as 2010? A lot can change in 3 years of a person's life. Isn't it a good thing that he is trying to turn his life around? Also, the other two have no criminal history, nor have I seen anyone selling a bad story about them.
Everyone of Stacey pre-live performances were ballads. Dannii pushed her into big ballads midway through the competition and to be honest probably pushed her into the finale with performances like Who Wants to Live Forever. Stacey was suited to a lower key, but that would never have sustained her.
On topic, it's all well and fine calling RC a vocal harmony group, but their harmonies are never really on point - that's the problem for me.
