Choreographer Blasts X Factor Twins

X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman has blasted John and Edward's singing. He has said that the twins do not deserve to win the competition.

Friedman told the News of the World: "Listening to them sing is like entering the gates of hell."

Brian, who choreographs all the dance routines by the wannabes, confessed that the siblings "cannot sing" and said that they are "exhausting" to work with.

Brian told the newspaper: "I have one word to describe listening to John and Edward's singing - painful.

"When I think of the twins I think, 'I need paracetamol. They are such a handful.

"It would be bad for The X Factor if they won. It's a singing contest and while they can sort of dance, they are the worst singers."

He added: "They live on Planet Jedward. They're so hyperactive it's hard for them to focus. I'm constantly having to 'shush' them."

The boys performed Queen's We Will Rock You on the programme last night.

Brian added: "They're hard working but trying to get them to do the work rather than a million other things they're interested in doing is difficult.

"The worst is when we are doing group rehearsals. I'll be saying, 'Lucie, you do this, Olly you're here...'

"And then I go to tell John and Edward what to do and they are off talking to the girl dancers in the corner."

Does it surprise me?  Not a jot!  I cannot believe they were actually picked in the first place.  Louis has a lot to answer for.  He honestly believes kids will adore the twins. Most kids think they are nuts!! They are a joke and it is making a mockery of the whole show.  people are voting for them to wind up the judges.  I am a teacher and I know exactly what they think of the twins.  Louis has lost his other groups because of his very poor judgement.

Brian is absolutely right. They are just annoying. They are going tonight full stop.

How on earth did Louis put them there.  The problem this year was there aren't enough groups to pick from.

Hope they get kick out tonight.

X Factor is being ruined. The twins should have gone in the 1st week.They dont sing....they talk the song POORLY AT THAT.

They are only there to upset Simon,who is the only one who knows what he is on about when it comes to music.

Get the manic idiots off the show.  They are giving the X-Factor a bad name.  Why in God's name did Louis choose them, reckon his mind is failing.

Ah for God's sake leave them alone. They are just so young. They probably know they cant win but at least it makes a change to see someone smiling and laughing rather than pouting and crying for being in the last two, twice in a row.

Lloyd hasn't got a great voice either, but he will probably get the votes cos he is supposedly cute, so is it now a cutesy contest too.

It's all contrived to boost viewing figures, and, it's working.

Its crazy that jedward have lasted this long.

Even the people who vote for them can't honestly claim that they take them seriously as singers.

If the twins win it will be a joke. It will also be unfair on all of the other genuinely talented contestants.

It is so annoying that if they go through again its because 'stupid'people are voting them in just to be awkward and because they are young boys,I personally think that they are there to make the other's look better. I think Lois chose the twins because they are Irish.The shows choreographer himself said they were terrible singers. Enough said.

i agree 1oo% with brian they have no talent and for people putting them through over the other contestants is wrong real talent is being sent home they dont have the x factor and never will i cant stand to watch them and its putting me off watching the x factor which is a shame as i love the show.

It seems they are through again tonight (8.48p.m.) Sunday.   Offer the clowns a job in a circus - much more suitable for them!!!

I can't believe that John and Edward are still in this competition. This week they STILL haven't left! If they win, i will never again watch the x factor. It's an embarrassment to the whole show! Rachel didn't deserve to be in the final two this week, although she isn't THE BEST singer in the competition, and there will be a time where she will have to leave, there were others who were worse than her, and deserved to be in the final two. I adore Lloyd's singing voice, but only when he uses it well, and last week i thought that it might have been the end of his journey. But i must say that this week i really enjoyed Lloyd's performance, and i don't think that he should have been in the final two this week. Rachel has left, and i can't believe it. She's an amazing singer, and although it wasn't her time to go, she was eventually going to have to leave, because there are better singers in the competition. i just think that the public didn't like something about her which is why she is continuously going into the final two, and has eventually left. Lucy was amazing this week.

Stacey To Win !
With Her All The Way ! X3

This show is an absolute farce.Its a complete and utter disgrace that these two arrogant, cocky little prats who cannot sing worth a monkeys Fxxx are still in this now nonsical and completely farsical show.No more telephone calls will be wasted on phoning votes to you and we will not be watching this show anymore.

Louis Walsh has a lot to answer for puting these two through. Yes the public are apparantly voting for them, but I think something amiss and the voting is rigged, hence I'm not going to vote this year at all. Louis used to go on about Same Difference but they were miles better than this two and could flippin sing too!!! All a conspiracy this year and x-factor becoming a joke. Was looking forward to it this year as alot of good talent in it THEN we have J&E which does spoil the evenings viewing..

Mrs D ....................................................................................................................

Its actually sad how other people can be. There only 18 and seem to have fun. If they were english there wouldnt be any problem. There giving stupid songs!

Hope they win because they give the show a bit life!
Go John and Edward
