to want John and Edward to win the x-factor?

[wannaBe]

After Alexandra Burke's mimed performance on the x-factor last night, and the sheer stupidity of John and Edward being in the finals, I think the whole thing is a farse that is not designed to find new talent but is designed to find acts that fit a certain standard, to which we as the public must conform.

John and edward are ghastly individuals. But they are there purely for the amusement factor and to cause tention between the judges on the show.

I think that it's time the public took a stand and show the producers that if they make certain decisions, it could have consequences.

Thus, while I can't stand John and Edward, I think that for them to win would be highly, highly amusing, and justice in a way.

yes but he was up himself, don't you think? What was his name, I was wondering that before?

Ethan something?

Sooo didn't read the thread title properly - thought it said 'to want John Edwards to win the X factor' and wondered what on earth a US senator would be on the X factor for.

as you were.

well he might have a chance of winning even....

can he sing? (Not that it matters that much)

Ethan yes. He should have been there.

Didn't he shag one of candy rain at bootcamp? So it said in the papers anyway apparently although I didn't see it myself.

ZZZenagain, tbh, I don't even watch the X factor, so I have no idea what the requirements are. He looks a bit like one of those nice tidy mormon missionaries.

LOL at "although I didn't see it myself"

well he might fit in nicely with Cheryl's group then Kay, sort of group senior

I thought Robbie was off his trolley but then thought perhaps he was just a bit overwhelmed by the reaction - he hasn't performed live for ages and it must be a bit of a trip, mustn't it? The song, however, is SHIT. I'm not surprised he couldn't be bothered to finish the lines.

When Alexandra started hers I thought it was v dull but it grew on me and I quite enjoyed her performance.

John and Edward, for example, are twats.

It's interesting that none of the panel (I think) have children, isn't it? I don't have kids that age, but I can imagine that J&E would appeal to a certain type of teenage gal, in much the same way that Busted did.

My idea for brightening up the show wuld be to

a. sack Dannii
b. Have a guest judge each week, who is a Joe Public person, not a sleb. One week it could be disapproving parent (me: Kandy Rain, you're not empowering yourselves, and now I hope young ladies will see that being a stripper will potentially affect your chances of becoming a high court judge at a future point. John and Edward. GO now.). The next week it could be teenage gal (John and Edward: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhy! Jamie: you're too old grandad) Etc. I reckon I'm onto a winner. I shall email Syco directly.

Robbie def had that "vacant" look in his eyes - quite often seen before they disappear off to some retreat for "exhaustion" iykwim.
John & Edward are sh*e and never be given any inclinication that they possess any talent whatsoever, so whilst I agree - it would be amusing to give the production company a message - the flip side of it would be those two little tw*s would start to believe their own hype.

Lol at 'I shall email Syco directly'.

WHY Cheryl has put through those trogs (the Glaswegian and the south shields boy) when she could have put through that gorgeous american and the young black boy I will never know. The scottish lad has got to go, he is beyond awful.

Agree Stacey potentially very vulnerable, she is like Chantelle from celebrity bog brother, all sweet and naive. And look what happened to Chantelle after the drugs/london party scene/OK magazine got at her.

LOl @ midnight

Don't laugh - I'm deadly serious. I think it's a good idea.

dd is 9 midnight and she says twit and twat are the only interesting ones (because their entrance was coming down on those ropes like circus acrobats and jumping about a bit.

Teenage girls might go more for Ethan

I like your idea of changing judges each week.

what happened to Chantelle?

Ricky gets on my nerves as soon as he opens his mouth to speak. But he's obviously there on the sob-story factor - he was there last year (at bootcamp) and didn't get through so now he's coming back... he's shite though.

South Shields boy had a nice voice though, even if she did only put him through because he's from..erm..South Shields. Agree about the Weegie though - he's rubbish. The black guy was waaaay better than him.

But in the end I think the boys are always a bit meh. Us mature ladies like their men with cojones, and that doesn't go well with the format, which is of course aimed at teenage girls really. Jamie just ends up looking a bit sad for going on it. Give me a bit of Primal Scream any day.

I own a teenage girl - I asked her honest opinion on whether Twit and Twat would get the teeny girl vote.

Her answer: 'mum, don't be ridiculous they are so disgusting even their own mother will be voting for someone else'

Chantelle - think she is a friend of Uncle Charlie. Plus the poor girl used to have such a light in her eyes, now all you see are interviews with her saying how unhappy she is with how she looks etc.

Plus she is rumoured to be having a fling with Peter Andre, you wouldn't wish that on anyone, would you?

Have just watched the Alexndra clip and though Youtube footage a bit tricky, I deffo think she is miming. Have heard the song a few times on the radio and it sounded exactly the same. Which would be difficult to achieve live and shaking her head around like that, surely?

John and Edward are indeed twats but, yes, it would be hilarious if they won. Everyone else is completely shit anyway.

I don't know about Ricky. Is he in a bit of a time warp?

so if not even the teenage girls are voting for twit and twat, how ar they going to win?

Twit and Twat will win on the mothers vote, either mums voting seriously because they look sweet, or mums like us who are spite-voting.

Ricky is very dated looking isn't he - he is like a mid-90s boyband member, albeit minus the looks and talent

Those bloody hats fgs.

someone must be voting for them.

do actually think they will make it quite far in the competition - possibly as far as the semi-finals. Like the McDonald brothers of a couple of series ago.

I thought Alexandra mimed too. Also thought Robbie was absolutely stoned!!

Loving Midnight Express idea

who else do you see in the semi-finals wannabe?
