X Factor hopefuls John & Edward have admitted that the negative criticism they receive has hurt them.

The twins told The Mirror that they have been sent hate mail and have had trouble sleeping. The duo also stated that they spend all their time practising for their performances on the show.

"We only stop practising to eat and sleep," Edward said. "The other acts go out on their days off but we're the only ones who never go out of the house. There's no point sitting around when we could be practising.

"We never watch telly. We get up at 7am to start and work through until 7pm. Then we have dinner and go through it again."

However, the pair revealed that they are struggling to deal with the negative feedback.

"We get hate mail and vicious letters," they continued. "Some of the hate mail is so bad X Factor hasn't let us see it. It's hard when we have to go out and perform and be happy and confident and smiley because we know if we slip up they'll come after us."

John added: "I haven't been sleeping for the last two or three nights. Websites say, 'John and Edward are s**t'. I get so upset by it I can't sleep. It goes round and round in my head.

"We were in the street walking to our dance class when a whole family came past in a black car and shouted out, 'We hate you, you're w**kers'. Edward was very shaken and upset. I had to calm him down and tell him not to think about it.

"All we want is for people to love us. It hurts us and our family."

The X Factor results show airs tomorrow at 8pm on ITV1.

Why should we love them - they have done nothing to earn it. People get admired for their talent - but they have none. All the practice in the world won't make them good singers.

How good Danyl/Olly/Stacey/Lucie/etc/etc is as a singer won't make me love him/her, but the way the twins are with their performances and how they take all the stick makes me love them. I really don't care that they can't sing. They are great entertainers and Ghostbusters was perfect for them because there was minimum singing, but plenty of performance.

People find it funny like they would watching kids in a school play - but it doesn't mean that should win the show. They are not deserving of a SINGING recording contract.

It isn't a comedy/entertainment contract - it is a singing/recording contract. One that they are not entitled to.

I have no sympathy for them. If they did not assume they would get hate before going on the show, they really are mentally crippled.

I don't think they should win but I want them to get something... just not a recording contract.

Why should everyone love them?

People are always going to hate them, no one can be loved by everyone.

I personally dont like them, and never will.

If they wanted to entertain people, why didnt they go on BGT? They ruined what used to be a singing show, now its a complete joke!

"There's no point sitting around when we could be practising."

Um, yes there is. Because you're crap and you're not going to get any better.

I like them as people and feel sorry for them, but as singers, they're beyond awful.

If they're going to entertain send them to Britains Got Talent. I'm sure they'll find use of the big production value for the Royal Variety thing. When it comes down to it, the winner of The X Factor is looking to have a recording career not a career of big production shows. John and Edward CAN'T sing and thats why they shouldn't win. When you compare winners such as Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke to John and Edward....it doesn't make sense and I hope you see that.

But the X Factor has never been about singing, if it was about that G4 would have won, Brenda would have won, Rhydian would have won. It's more of a personality and popularity contest.

They have grown on my slightly, but I don't want them to win and I won't be upset if they leave. By growing on me... I mean I can watch them and not get angry now.

I find the booing hilarious though haha.

A bit hypocritical, Britain's got TALENT and people are hating them because people think they are TALENTLESS.

I personally think they are talented and entertaining. They make my Saturday night's interesting.

The twins can sing allright, there has been worse singers in the chart who got to number one. With the right tunes they can end up making successful albulms :thumbs:

That Steven dude was right on the extra factor, the twins are going to make the most money whether they win or lose. Jedmania is already a franchise!

Yeah when their voices have been digitally enhanced. :joker:

I can't wait to hear their bit on You Are Not Alone to see how much they've changed their voices.

Thats your view, I fell sorry for them, I actually think that they think their good...... poor things.

I agree the hate is too much, even know Im a member of most hate grioups decated to them. Lol!

This is hard for me to say, last night was their best peformance, but still bad!

It's the John Sergeant factor, the public has a sense of humour and they love an underdog plus Jedward have got a firm hold on the kids vote which can be quite strong. They've only got a few weeks left though at best.

But john sergant was funny, they jsut make me wont to through my tv out of the window.....

Oh well if children wont to waste their money its up to them.

I can stop them now can I. :bawling:

I never said they were not talented. I said they cannot SING. You don't have to sing to be talented. Talent on Britains Got Talent can be many things...comedy, dancing, acting etc. They can perform, no one has ever denied that. They just can't sing and they're on a singing competition. That's like going on I'm A Celebrity... and not being a celebrity.

If they win they win all we can do is do are best and try so they don't.

I dont see the problem about them staying a couple more weeks.They have no chance of winning because if they make the top 2 there will be a mass vote on the other act(who ever it is!).
They'll kepp things entertaining for a few more weeks and then we can focus on talent for the last few weeks.

As much as I dislike them still being on the show.. I wouldn't boo them. At the end of the day it is not their fault they are still in and they have probably worked hard and it takes guts to get up and sing in front of people. Lmfao. It must be hell of a scary
