No. I'm not going to post a cute utube link to John and Edward singing Britney last Saturday night. And I use the word 'singing' in the loosest sense. I think my shower efforts are more tuneful. In fact, I'm thinking of applying to this 'singing' competition next year on the basis that there are obviously exceptions to the singing rule. Hell, I can be entertaining if that's what they want and I'd be even more entertaining dressed in red patent swinging from the ceiling wailing in bad Britney.
Thankfully we live in a democracy allowing everyone freedom of speech, enabling whoever wants to vote for this pair to do so. The same democracy that allows me the right to suggest that they have all perhaps been kidnapped by aliens? John and Edward cannot sing. So what are they doing on a 'singing' competition designed to find a 'recording' artist? Would the people who are voting for them really buy their album? And if not, why keep them in there at the expense of someone else's dreams - someone who CAN sing perhaps.
Grrr...Makes me cross...
Mainly because I swore if they got through I wouldn't watch the show next year. And now I'll have to stick to that or enter myself.

Hear, hear, Fi! Hear hear to the power of a truckload!
So who the heck IS voting for them and why?
Not me! Or anyone I know...and Ireland cant vote so its not a patriotic thing. The same people who thought John Sargeant could dance??
I hear what you're saying, Fi, and yes, X-Factor is a singing competition - but it's also a TV show. The judges' schtick, the crap acts, etc. are all part of that. Simon Cowell et al are more interested in getting viewers for their show than finding a new recording artist, I think - the acts are just canon fodder.
I agree Clodagh. Its just I hate the fact that they harp on all the time about it being 'a singing competition to find a recording artist of the future' - when it's obviously all about lining their pockets from phone votes for people who can't sing! I hate the fact that I watch it even more...
They played a clip of them singing this morning on Radio 1 and they sounded even worse. Incredible.
Methinks it the British S.O.H. out at play or maybe the Irish are voting after a few two many bevies ;-) TFx
