Vote: Have you changed your mind about John and Edward?

by Daily Gossip Oct 19th 2009 9:01AM

Just a week ago they were among the most-hated people in the nation, but now X Factor hopefuls John and Edward seem to be winning the public over.

The 18-year-old twins left the judges almost speechless with their comic interpretation of Britney's Oops!... I Did it Again - which also seems to have been the highlight of diva week on the show for many bemused viewers.

The Dublin boys were controversially put through to the finals by mentor Louis Walsh, on the hunch that he thought "people will like them".

So was Louis right? Have you come round to their Irish charm? Or do you still think they took a place that could have gone to an act with singing talent?

If you didn't see their performance, or you want to enjoy it again, you can check it out right here...

The twins will be the same as John Sargent in Strictly Come Danacing - no talent whatsoever, but good for a laugh. What is sad is that such people being kept in means that others actually with talent have to go out. The public know that if they keep voting to keep the twins out of the bottom two, then Simon will not get the opportunity to kick them out.

its not fair that the more talented amongst them should lose out for doubly annoying novelty act.

My sentiments. Its always a great displeasure to find the people with ability voted off and thoose with none kept at the cost of those with ability. Those jokers from Ireland need off as soon as possible.

Cannot help feeling sorry for Rachel Adeji. She did not deserve even to have been in the bottom 2. She is one of the big gunners again, in terms of ability. Bless her, may she do well this week!

What we should be able to do aswell as voting for the act we want to see stay is be able to cast a vote for the act we want to be removed from the competition - I think people would pay a considerable amount to do this - if we did this pair of talentless ***** would not be taking the place of real talent.

Rachel Adeji... absolutely did not deserve having to be involved in a sing off, when those pair of conceited Dublin halfwits were voted through.

Never mind get rid of them... well yeah do that, but get rid of Louis Walsh also, come on Simon C you've had your laughs now at Lois Walsh's expense and our annoyance, be more assertive with the power you yield

Are the British Public losing their minds, they cannot sing, dance and have no discernable talent. I say talent, because Xfactor is about talent, the more the "yes" voters vote for them more good acts have to leave for the sake of the toad stools

If the show had more ridiculous but amusing acts like that on it instead of the usual sanitised predictable rubbish it might be worth watching!

the twins are a joke , they are not even cringe worthy, they should have gone out, ricky should be in as well as rachel, but i think the all out winner will be jamie , what a talent.

Where do you draw the line between entertainment for the masses and the fact that this is something tweleve contestants take very seriously? John and Edward aren't the best of singers, but nither were the cheeky girls or Chico, they are having their fifteen minutes of fame, that's not a bad thing in its self. I just hope they are voted out before the better singers are put in the bottom two, just because some see it amusing to keep them in.

Judging from the level of written English in these comments, the only ' retards ' are you lot, but then what can one expect of people like you. These shows were made for the brain dead- and that's just what you lot happen to be!

You have to be joking, they can't sing, keep in tune and I'm sure they couldn't write the amount and quality of songs that came out of the Beatles!!!!!

All these people that say the show is rubbish and the acts cant sing. Why oh why are you watching you can always switch off. I, like millions of others really enjoy watching it. You have a choice.

Sadly this happens to all these shows and very talented people get voted out.
The first few weeks sad as it is but the weak ones get singled out and we expect that.
But as it gets more serious and the talented ones get pushed out by such people with weak talent not good .
People should stop and ask their selves do u really want to sit and listen to a C D by J and E NOT REALLY

I take my family to the x factor live tour every year. But next year I will not be going.
I will not be paying money to watch John and Edward perform , when it's obvious that they cant sing .
Boycott the live tours !!
