3 They are no longer underdogs thanks to the over the top media hype.

That should be in the pro-thread.

8 It will only lead to far more joke acts being put through next year taking the place of more deserving singers.

A microphone stand has a right to win if the public are given a number to vote for it and decide to do so. Thats the name of the game here..... acts are offered up to the public and the public decide by votes who comes out on top, and all in the name of producing a saturday evening entertainment show - NOT , I repeat NOT to produce a serious singing competition.

As long as people hold that thought, and remember that this is purely a vehicle to make Cowell Inc even more millions than he already has, then there is no need for a build up of resentment against John and Edward. They are just part of the entertainment.

9) because it is inevitable that the x factor winner will have to sing a ballad, surrounded by candles, while standing stock-still at the end of the final show. i don't want to watch that bore-fest.

The bookies probably wouldn't agree with that.

Funny how these things are so interchangeable, depending on your perspective.

Second post was 'They can't sing', but some folk would say that's a *plus* for J&E...either because that's part of their charm, or because they perceive a J&E win would bring down a show they feel has far too much influence on the UK music scene and the UK charts.

Regards,

They can't sing! - I do not Hate them as some posters sadly do with some other Contestants, but that is their problem.

I have no Doubt that jedward will do well in TV perhaps Children's TV but why did they ever get past the auditions?

Another reason is they are only getting votes to get up Simons nose, which is not in the spirit of the competition.

And you mr wonker dont like them anyway..do you?

you seem terribly concerned about them.
why not invest your time supporting your act of choice instead of wringing your hands over Jedward.

there are a thousand reasons why people hate them, they are insulting true Irish singers, they are shite, they are bring down the true quality of a great show, even if they won -and pray to god they don't, NO one will give the chance, so what is the damn point, in this country, there are web sites begging for there blood, and thay cannot be good for SC and friends, but they give a shite anyway, as they are making plenty of money out of it.

Incorrect. At least, my case it is.

I wasn't going to post on this thread because it's inevitable that people are going to strongly dislike John and Edward, and I'd rather there was a thread like this then people hijacking the thread for why they should win; I just think it's unfair to generalize all people that vote for them.

I think you should concentrate on the nature of the thread and not what and why I post.

With respect I don't question your posts and who you support or dislike, so please don't do it to me.

Thanks.

Fair comment.

For the record, I don't dislike J&E, I just think they are crap at what they do.

It would just be the absolute biggest travesty if these two won this competition. They absolutely should not be in the final anyway. They're both half as good as my stepdad is when he sings and he's complete atrocious.
