I LOVED The Twins Performance! And Im SO Glad They Stayed In! <3

You actually like the twins!   Me on the other hand I HATE the twins, I mean they cannot sing or dance & have no talent whatsoever! Why oh why have they not been voted off yet?

I Think They're Entertaining

All I can say is I don't know who on earth is voting for those twins...

Is John and Edward's success damaging The X Factor's credibility?

Dublin twins John and Edward Grimes topped The X Factor public vote last weekend, according to newspaper reports. Yes, you did just read that correctly.

The duo, who have been slated by the show's judges for their lack of singing ability, proved a hit with viewers after their performance of the Ricky Martin hit She Bangs.

Their success meant that Danyl Johnson and Miss Frank, who were both praised by the judges, found themselves in the bottom two.

An X Factor insider told The Sun: "It is extraordinary. John and Edward were miles ahead of any other act. Whoever wins the X Factor, you can usually guarantee they can sing.

"If John and Edward win, it will no longer be a show about great singers - it could be disastrous. But you know what? It could happen."

So, is The X Factor no longer a singing contest and is it in danger of losing all credibility?

The answer to that is that it never really has been a singing contest - especially not in the early stages of the live shows.

Saturday nights on The X Factor are all about entertainment and at the moment the twins are the most entertaining act on the show. Who can honestly say that they don't look forward to seeing what they are going to perform?

Another factor for their success is likely to be that voting tends to be quite low during the initial stages, with most fans waiting until the last few weeks before picking up the phone. This would explain the massive success of Eoghan Quigg during the first weeks of the show last year, but ultimately he had to settle for third place in the final behind the much more talented Alexandra Burke and JLS.

If the twins manage to buck this trend and keep on piling in the votes right up to the show's final then the programme will have a problem. John and Edward may have a career ahead of them as TV presenters (Irish Ant and Dec anyone?) but singers they are clearly not. If they stay in until the later stages, we may see a situation similar to John Sergeant on last year's Strictly, where they voluntarily leave to save what credibility the show has left.

Rachel Adedeji  voted off The X Factor


Student Rachel Adedeji has become the first female contestant to be voted off ITV1 talent show The X Factor.

The 17-year-old was in the sing-off against Lloyd Daniels after receiving the smallest number of votes.

But after the judges could not decide whom to save, it was decided on the public vote.

Mentor Dannii Minogue said she did not know where it went wrong. It was the third time Adedeji had been in the bottom two.

Minogue said all the guest artists who mentored the acts had adored Adedeji.

The judge added that she hoped Adedeji went on to find success like JLS, last year's runners-up who performed their latest single, Everybody in Love, on Sunday's results show.

Head judge Simon Cowell said she sang much better than Lloyd Daniels, who was suffering from a sore throat, but that he could not ignore her lack of popularity with the public.

He then used his vote to create a tie between the judges, forcing the decision to go back to the public's vote.

Tears rolled down Adedeji's cheeks when she was told she was leaving the show.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported me," she said.

"It's been amazing and I got to meet so many lovely people and work with great judges."

She told her mentor Dannii Minogue: "You're amazing."

These kids are the worst act i've ever seen...this is just horrendous




And lets not forget what they did to a classic song... this is flat out murder.
