I would rather listen the the music from the Ghostbusters NES game then this.

so someone cloned Adam Glambert and sent a pair over to England to wreck havoc?

videos blocked at work so that's my assumption

Zeus Fucking Shit.

It seems that Twilight related crap and FFF are not needed to make me feel like a piece of me has died...

That was... physically painful. I have no words.

Bad enough they have to shit on the song...but to drag the Thriller dance down as well?! Britain, you're no longer as cool as you were yesterday and the value of your British Gold Pound should decrease because of it.

Wow that was painful.

@King Psyz
It's more like Sanjaya 2 then Glambert

Thank VoteForTheWorst.com. I don't usually pay attention to that site outside of the current American Idol season, but they've evidently been pushing for these guys to win, and the voting sample is small enough in England to make an impact.

The twins were in the bottom two and Simon put it to deadlock and the public vote. They had more votes than the other singer and got through. There's no chance of them winning, but it's fun to watch and see what they try to murder the following week.

Boy, that first reviewer hit the nail on the head. Even Simon's assessment I can't necessarily disagree with 100%.

But the Irish chick and the last guy to speak? No. They are wrong.

Was that letter written by the same person who wrote this?

The fuck is up with their hair?

From the country that gave us the Beatles comes...

They should be ashamed

So, can Americans finally stop apologizing for William Hung now?

I want them dead.

what bleedning anis did this come from?

Hmmm: Ireland and the UK aren't the same country.

Anyway The X-Factor is a (hugely popular alas) abomination and it drives me nuts every year.

I.... I just needed to share the pain....

What a steaming pile of shit. Just goes to show you that American tweenie-boppers aren't the only brainless twats in the world. England is full of them too! And it wasn't entertaining or in any way shape or form 'good.' I guarantee these two dancing turds will wind up with a recording deal and take over the world. Then, my friends, the terrorists truly have won.

Oh, and those two female judges are friggin' gorgeous! WOW!

I smell a Celtic conspiracy here

Those two female judges are bloody awful (well one is annoying and the other is extremely annoying) and wearing enough make up to sink a battleship.

I'm so glad I decided to not watch x factor this year.

Just for all you non-Brits:

The Australian female judge is Dannii Minogue (sister of Kylie) and the other female judge is Cheryl Cole, member of singing contest-winning girlband Girls Aloud and wife of Ashley Cole, a footballer.

The X factor got interesting this year.

Vote for the Worst Victory!

I watched up until the 'who you gonna call?' bit and then I had to call my mom and cry to her a little.

Now I shall go force myself to watch the rest because I hate myself that much.

I had to stop the video twice so that I could take a break before trying to listen again. Then I gave up at around the half-way point and just fast-forwarded to the judges.

It was too much. There is no way I can watch that whole thing without being physically forced Clockwork Orange style.

Just when I'd thought this site was a safe place where they would not be mentioned.

*sobs*

I know it's not their fault that nobody seems to have the guts to kick them off, but we're really past the joking period here...

That last dude totally wants to pack their fudge.

after seeing the murder of the ghost buster's theme not to mention stay puff losing what little cool he had left. is what is in the judges drinks to keep letting john and edward through when even Simon stated they can not sing and are in a singing contest. not to mention what is with their hair dos sad to say ghost busters just when it was showing new life has been struck a blow by the name of john and edward.

Can we have Sanjaya join them on tour?

These guys were just awesome.

Go watch their Britney performance. Fucking brilliant.

Dude. Fuck you. Seriously.

Meh. Look at how many of the American Idol winners have not amounted to much of anything? Ruben Studdard was dropped from the record label that signed him. The same is true of Fantasia and Taylor Hicks. Taylor hicks has been reduced to performing at bars. The TV shows make more money than music producers lose on putting out records for these crappy winners.

I rather loved the look of self-loathing on Simon's face when the camera cut to him during the song.

Ah DoctorSmashy, I feel your pain so bad. I felt for sure that when they got to the bottom 2 this week they would finally be gone, but noooooooo Simon has to pussy out and 'let the public decide'. Bullshit. BUUUUUUUUUUULLSHIT I SAY. All last week he was very publicly saying shit like 'if those 2 win then I'm going leave the country' and he finally gets the chance to get rid of them AND HE PASSES IT UP. Such utter crap.

SOMEBODY PLEASE KILL ME NOW!

I beg to differ, Smashy: "Top of the Pops" is a singing show. "X Factor" is a talent show. The purpose of talent shows, since long before the days of television, has been to allow village idiots to parade around on stage and allow the locals to jeer at them. Looks like that mission statement is being upheld to the letter here.

Anyone who tunes in to X Factor or American Idol expecting to discover a homegrown vocal savant is indulging a fantasy about good ol' fashioned HEART winning out over multi-million dollar production and decades of hard work. Such folk deserve the Sanjayas they get.

Someone said, "Village idiot!" Someone said, "Village idiot!"

¿!¿Que Demonios es esto?!?!

Where is Susan Boyle when your need her?

It's universal: everyone loves to watch fail. Also, Joss Whedon rules. That is all.

They can't sing, they can't dance, they can't act. Why do people love them? Do they sparkle in the sunlight too, with edward cullen? I think that's why.

is nothing sacred?

man, listen to the new Aaron carter, these guys are awesome, if you think they suck, you're major jealous

As an Irishman I have to apologise to the world. In our defence theyre hated here in Ireland. Iam so so sorry.

Can't believe no one has invoked WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS just yet.

Where is your meme now, Topless Robot?

I'm British, so I was already familiar with these guys, and I have to say that I'm praying that they win the whole competition. I know they won't, but I really want them to nonetheless.

I love watching them murder songs, because it's SO. FUCKING. FUNNY.

I'd much rather see these guys win (who i'll admit are tone-deaf, but who are also massively entertaining), than suffer yet another carbon-copy factory produced warbler (which is quite frankly what all the other contestants are).

I know it's a singing competition, but no one with an iota of musical taste would take ANYONE on this show seriously, so I'm just revelling in the hilarious awfulness of the twins.

Take these guys out of the show, and it's just a boring procession of drones.

Jedward to win!

dont worry, we hate them too in our little town

What if they were deliberately kept for the show to increase ratings? I mean, there're probably more people talking about the show now than ever before = free publicity.

In all fairness though as much as they are crap...there is worse...that idiot Lloyd Daniels...he can't sing high notes, his version of Stand by me was far worse than these two fools.

Just to jump on the bandwagon...

I'm shocked Dannii Minogue didn't call them "boggy cunts" or something equally offensive.

Ah, not everyone in the UK likes them.

My family tend to like the contestant Danyl Johnson for example, due partly to him being my sisters' dancing and singing teacher.

Here's a link to him singing Purple Rain,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAfCjj1vRQ4

Funny fact: the judges to keep Jedward in the competition are the ones who repeatedly attempt to get Johnson out, even though he can at least sing somewhat.

@Asat: I would say Britain's Got Talent is the talent show. You can audition with any kind of act - magic, dancing, opera or whatever, whereas you can only enter for the X Factor if your act is singing. And I know it's a sham. They put the bad ones all the way through to the end just to get people talking, then let the predictably mediocre singers win.

But there are, or at least have been, decent singers on the show, and it's unfair to those people that acts like Jedward keep getting a chance. My email wasn't 'jeering'. I don't phone in and tell them they suck. I just wanted to show like-minded people the massive fail that is Jedward because, in my opinion, it is unfair.

I was going to point out that the English gave us 8 centuries of oppression, Cromwell, the famine, and so forth. Then I was going to throw back that Louis Walsh, Boyzone, Bono and Jedward were a small price to pay. But then for jesus sake I watched this.

Fucking hell. Do you know these two cunts grace the front page of the tabloids over in England at the moment? Daily? On several papers.

And here's the best bit they're only popular because english fuckwits vote for them. It's like self inflicted syphilis.

English Idiots.

DrSmashy: True enough, X Factor is a limited-scope talent show, and I can see calling it a "singing show". I just meant to emphasize that there are venues (like TOTP) for singers who came up through the traditional ranks, as opposed to these "overnight fame" contests.

Not to defend tradition. The music industry is notoriously corrupt and lots of good singers get nowhere while pretty nincompoops sign three-album contracts. But televised contests don't remedy that problem. They just promote a new strain of nincompoop.

My money's on the Internet for giving real artists a fair shake. YouTube + Paypal = a chance at earning a living.
