The X Factor: Stand Up And Be Counted

Right, own up. Who is voting for John & Edward? Who are you? Who is stupid/tone deaf/humourless enough to keep them in this TALENT show?

Gruesome twosome John & Edward are car crash telly. Which amounts to a certain amount of TV gold - I am aware of this fact.

But I would never actually pick up my phone, spend my hard-earned cash and vote for them. I have my pride.

And I'm willing to bet that all of you who think it's funny to keep the poor deluded boys in the competition will NOT be rushing out to buy their Christmas single. Well unless it's for someone you don't like very much.

The British public will boost them up, only to knock them right down again as soon as they get close to the top.
They will keep them in week after week before finally saying, when the prize is just within reach: "Only kidding, you're rubbish!" and voting them off. I guarantee it.

But I don't feel sorry for them. They'll be ok. They'll get their own Jedward TV show. And then you'll all be sorry.

They absolutely slaughtered Queen's We Will Rock You. They use too much hair gel. They can't sing. Or dance. And the matching outfits will only get them so many brownie points.

Meanwhile, poor Rachel (one of the few who can actually sing) was sacrificed at the altar of the terrible twins.

What else do they need to do to convince you to put your vote to better use? I don't understand.

So come on then. Don't be shy. All you secret voters out there, come forward now and explain yourselves. It's the least you can do...
