I had to post a blog on them because I think the whole thing is hilarious. People are getting so worked up because they keep managing to stay in, claiming it's a fix, its not about talent anymore etc etc.
Well I have news for you, only one person can win X Factor and up until then I'd rather watch the Twins bouncing around on stage than some boring singer that isn't going to win anyway. If they win will I be bothered? No! I haven't been voting so how can I claim its a fix, how many people have actually voted? If they win it doesn't mean the other singers won't get a contract, look at JLS or Laura White, they both now have singles out.
I don't think they will actually win because when push comes to shove and only the really decent ones are left in the final i.e. Olly and Stacey in my opinion, then people will take it more seriously and those that haven't been voting will vote, for example I always vote in the final but never before.
As for Simon fixing it last night by taking it to deadlock, that's his prerogative. He is a judge, he has that choice and he is the one making the money from the show so wants as many people to watch as possible and it is sure working! To be honest I think they put the Twins in on purpose for this reason, an idea probably sprung into Simon's head when he watched the last series of Dancing on Ice.
Does it bother me? No not atall! In fact Pete and I were shouting at the TV for Simon to take it to the public vote as it is so funny! I admit not for Lucy however it's a TV show and not just all about talent as everyone tries to claim.
There are probably alot of things that are set up in X Factor, like the first auditions when they show the terrible people. It is decided who will go infront of the judges, not everyone does. Do you think the 'behind the scene' judges actually think these people are good? No, its for entertainment. I bet they even tell them to make it even worse and be cheeky to make it even more entertaining. Anything to get on TV right?
So my verdict on the matter is LOVE them! However I won't be voting for them anytime soon...!

Agreed!!
hehe they do make me laugh, but what annoys me is, simon would have been so annoyed if say for example danni had the opportunity to save his act over jedward but took it to the vote, then he'd be saying, its a singing competeition etc, i find him a bit of a hypocrite, when he said i'll judge it on the performance right now as lucie was clearly better. having said that the ghost busters song was great!
It never has been about the music! Why does everyone tune in to see a bunch of nobodies singing crap cover versions? Because of the drama, engineered by the protracted format of the show. Cowell's got more publicity out of this cash cow than he dared hope, and we all watch it!
Right, time to lie down...
gemma, i agree with 100% of what you wrote.
