I promise not to do too many off-topic posts, but how much fun has the X factor been this year? I've been twittering with like-minded souls during the shows, and it's much more fun with company (Mr London barely looks up from his iphone and grunts at me during the show.)
My favourite act this year has undoubtedly been the Irish Twins, John and Edward. Like two identical malevolent little bundles of ambition they cartwheeled onto the stage, sang over the competition and completely charmed Louis despite having no discernable singing talent by being...well, Irish.
I think this week is as far as they can go though; despite the comic genius of them singing Britney Spear's "Oops I did it again!" in red plastic suits last week, I fear that Big Band week will just be too much for them.
I have grown oddly fond of the boys over the weeks; I blame the absolutely lovely Jenine Creaney on Twitter, who is the first person I remember expressing an "Ahhhh, but they're oddly sweet" for them. If I ever need a PR, I'm hiring her.
If they do go, I hope they go with a bang, singing "Somethin' Stupid" to each other...

I hear they're doing J'Taime this week ... ;)
ReplyDeleteI won't be here tonight to watch it, I'm mega-annoyed!
You're missing Big Band week? Shame!!
ReplyDeleteIt's on TV as I'm typing this. Will be interesting to see what song they'll be singing later. :D
ReplyDeleteCan they get through this week? I wouldn't be surpried if they did to be honest. They are the Chico of it all. Will be interesting to see tomorrows results. I feel embarrassed when the music celebs meet them. "Oh hi Whitney come meet the hopefuls from Britain, packed with talent *cough*". I'd be red faced to say they were my act.

Hi Music and Eliza - well, I think they're getting better, but they're still not what I'd call great singers :D
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone else in the competition should leave before them really. I hope Rachel isn't in the bottom two again, but I think she's just not vulnerable enough for the public, despite the fact that she has a beltingly good voice.
@Eliza - I don't think Louis is capable of chagrin!
We shall see, I suppose :)
Ohh jeez...getting silly now.
ReplyDeleteOne thing though I was really pleased for Rachel.

i gotta say, i hated them at first, but they are having so much fun on stage and have the healthiest attitude to all of it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Eliza - I was pleased for Rachel too, felt v bad for Miss Frank though.
ReplyDeleteHello Maria - they're like fungi - they grow on you! I went through the exact same process with them. Thanks for your comment, and for visiting my blog.
Have become completely Pro-Jedward if only for their impossibly high hair and unwavering self-confidence - how long though til Jedward The Fragrance?!
ReplyDeleteHi BBB - I have complete faith that you'd get the scoop on any JEdward related beauty products ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for tonight's performance.
