Bejesus. Have people not got ears?
Quote: Adamjk "Probably due to the whole of Ireland voting for her, as happened with Jedwood'"
Actually, The Irish couldn't vote in Jedward's series due to phone competition regulations. Irish voting returned from last year. So I guess the rest of the Great British Public should take the blame for keeping them in...

>cough< Rhydian, Olly, Matt Cardle?
To be honest, despite never having won, the groups have probably enjoyed the most success. G4 went massive until they split, and JLS are the hottest X Factor property now, followed by Jedward. >s<.
Journey South and Same Difference had briefer but successful careers too, certainly longer than say, Joe.
Quote: Adamjk "I actually thought Amelia sang really well on Saturday, probably one of the best performances of the series. She never should have been kicked off in the first place and I hope she goes on to win the whole thing.'"
Not even close to the best of the series. The verse started off well, it should have picked up and gone to another level for the chorus... but it didn't, it went completely flat and dull. Agreed that she shouldn't have been kicked off in week 1, but at that time Janet was still pulling the wool over people's eyes and fooling judges into thinking she could sing, Misha and Sophie gave decent performances too. One week's live performance wasn't enough to gauge a proper opinion. Likewise Jonjo unlucky to have a bad week there, and James Michael given the presence of X Factor's worst ever finalist, Frankie. 2Shoes were definitely the best of the groups, but a terrible song choice for week 1 and the amazing lipstick smear from hell didn't help their cause any. That and Tulisa didn't put them together like the rest of the groups. Oh, and the pregnancy.
Its amazing that so many people continue to be scammed in this way.
