Jedward are Deadwood [There is a god!]

[Scarlett.]

X FACTOR twins Jedward have been axed by music giant Sony after just one single.

The lads - John and Edward Grimes, 18 - signed to the label earlier this year in a bid to cash in on the hype surrounding their time on the show.

But their first song Under Pressure, a duet with ageing rapper Vanilla Ice, failed to top the charts or make much cash for the record company.

It was beaten to No1 last month by American band Owl City and the following week slumped to number 12.

An insider confirmed: "We tried our best to make the lads credible recording artists but punters just weren't that bothered.

"They are great lads but haven't got the greatest voices, so they're something to see rather than listen to.

"Record companies are going through major upheaval so we have to be very careful what we throw our weight behind. I'm sure Jedward will be able to make a buck touring as a novelty act."

The news is a blow for manager Louis Walsh who took the boys on after they were kicked off X Factor last year.

He confirmed the axing last night but insisted: "I'm completely committed to Jedward and I know they still have a great career ahead.

"The boys have a sell-out tour in Ireland straight after The X Factor Tour in April and I'm in talks with a major record label about a new deal for them."

The boys demise will no doubt give Simon Cowell a chuckle - he refused to give Jedward a deal with his Syco label.

He signed X Factor winner Joe McElderry and runner-up Olly Murs instead.

love how everyone said theyd be everywhere..theyve been next to nowhere on a large scale really

[Scarlett.]

lol they have flopped just like predicted xD

[Jayson]

YESSSS!!!!

Finally, god these twins are irritating. Hopefully that's the last we'll see of them :)

[bbfan1991]

The deal was only for one album:D, good to see Louis is sticking by them and in a cut throat business such as the music industry not a surprise really:(.

Even people who dislike the Twins can't help but comment on the gossip surrounding them just shows what an effect on people they have;).

[bbfan1991]

Simon needs to sign up Danyl!;):p.

[Scarlett.]

X Factor stars John & Edward have been dropped by their record company Sony after the performance of their debut single disappointed bosses.

The pair's first release 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)' - a collaboration with rapper Vanilla Ice - only managed to enter the UK chart at number two last month before dropping to 12 a week later.

A Sony source told The Sun: "We tried our best to make the lads credible recording artists but punters just weren't that bothered.

"They are great lads but haven't got the greatest voices, so they're something to see rather than listen to.

"Record companies are going through major upheaval so we have to be very careful what we throw our weight behind. I'm sure Jedward will be able to make a buck touring as a novelty act."

John & Edward's manager Louis Walsh confirmed the news last night but insisted that he remains "completely committed" to the twins.

He added: "The boys have a sell-out tour in Ireland straight after The X Factor tour in April and I'm in talks with a major record label about a new deal for them."

Bollocks. That's just a nice, apologetic way of saying people hate the guys guts. It's not because they are endearing characters, it's because we hate them :wink:.

They're the devil's spawn they've done such a bad thing to people:rolleyes:, save the real hate for people who deserve it but disliking is fine;):p.

[Stu]

No, sorry, I hate them. I'm not getting into these silly arguments about the proper use of the word hate. I hate Jedward and Paedophiles just the same, but in different ways.

[bbfan1991]

No, sorry, I hate them. I'm not getting into these silly arguments about the proper use of the word hate. I hate Jedward and Paedophiles just the same, but in different ways.

Hate's a bit strong though they are just people from a publicity fuelled show as the X-Factor the producers knew that Jedward would have the marmite effect, theres couple of celebs I dislike but I don't hate them:D.

[Stu]

Hate is relative to the meaning you give the word. I am casually using the word hate, here. You probably do it yourself every day. I 'hate' Jedward like I 'hate' being out in the rain without a coat.

If I were to seriously throw around the word hate, then I hate the string pullers. The people behind Jedward who willingly push an untaleted act and degrade the countrys cultural standards. Jedward are merely the vehicle. They certainly aren't driving it. Either way, someone needs to ram it off the road.

[hennessy]

jedwood are up there with Holocaust deniers, and will be in the 4th plain of hell.

[Niamh.]

They were never really going to last very long as singers though, lets be honest!

[arista]

Their little irish Manager is now setting up a Deal with Small Label.




Life In The Fast Lane

[Twilight]

About time tbh..

[Jessica.]

Nobody even talks about Joe McElderry any more and he won it! It doesn't mean anything if the record label dropped them, they have a massive tour in Ireland coming up, if they got a presenting job, even in Ireland, that is success. They are doing this by themselves without Simon Cowell holding their hands.

[Jessica.]

Oh ya, Why do people say DeadWood????? It doesn't even rhyme!!!1

[Scarlett.]

Oh ya, Why do people say DeadWood????? It doesn't even rhyme!!!1

it does

Jed = Dead
Ward = Wood

though it depends on what accent you say Jedward in

What a crock of ****

You can't just feign ignorance and pretend a record label dropping them this early doesn't matter. It does. Sure they might still get a presenting job but that's making excuses for them, not tackling the problem at hand. I expect Stacey will do the same once she arrives in this thread. Ignore the problem at hand and look to the future, making yet more excuses.

And Jedward are doing all this by themselves? You don't really believe that, do you? Holy cow.

[Shaun]

They were just the flavour of the weak. :)

[Jessica.]

:laugh2:
"Ward" does not rhyme with "Wood"

[Tom4784]

My opinion is basically the same as Stu's. Thank ***** for Sony dropping them. Let's hope the fade away and are never mentioned again.

[Tom4784]

:laugh2:
"Ward" does not rhyme with "Wood"

He said it depends on the accent.....it'll rhyme for some but not others.

Yes but most TiBBers are from completely different places. It is silly tbh. What is a deadwood btw??

[Shaun]

deadwood = a word for describing something that's useless and can be just got rid of quickly.

Give me strength! Does it ****ing matter if it rhymes or not? That's not the point of the thread. You're a real pain in the arse sometimes, I hope you know this.

[GypsyGoth]

First the Beatles break up, and now this!!!!!

[hennessy]

how does she pronounce Edward Woodward?

[Shaun]

I'm glad to see Sony have dropped their "How much wood could Jedward chuck if Jedward could chuck wood?" approach.

...I'm done now.

Because they're on tour and he hasn't released anything yet? Jedward released a single, which puts them at advantage because they're keeping themselves in the spotlight, whilst Joe has to withdraw himself from it. Were people talking about Alexandra and Leona months after winning? No.

They were dropped because they're a pile of ****. Get over it.

Joe released a single too though!

[Shaun]

No Jessica, god, you're forgetting the routine. Male popstar wins tv show. Gets a number one. Year. Releases album of **** written for him. Flops.

Not forgotten yet ;)

[MeMyselfAndI]

Then Leona comes along and gets 4th most brought album of decade and brakes through America and gets over 40 number 1s worldwide and sells billions

[Shaun]

And 12 year old girls join forums and make up bull**** statistics about her and base their musical taste off what they perceive said statistics to mean success.

[MeMyselfAndI]

err no what i said is true

[Shaun]

She has not sold 'billions', or had 40 number ones.

She's had one or two number ones in a number of countries.
Spirit's sold 2.8m in the UK - a billion is one thousand millions.
Echo's sold 1.2m worldwide.

[Stu]

[Shaun]

spirit sold 7m worldwide

No, she's had 3 songs go to Number One in a number of countries.

Only 3 here.

Better in Time was sooo close it was less than 300 sales so thats unfair

Not according to this list she's not.

That's just Amazon though. Spirit is the fourth highest selling of the decade alright, unfortunately.

No it really is, the gimmick's worn dry and the best they can hope for is Z-list celebrity reality shows. They bombed horrifically.

[Sarah.]

I like them too.

I'm not sad about this because they won't just disappear and there is tons more stuff they can do. Maybe even get signed to another label. They have a LOT of fans and this is just the beginning.
:)

[Smithy]

If Jedward are still on Tv within a year i will say the best thing ever to come from X Factor, if they arent you say they are the worst thing to come out of it

[Stacey.]

[Smithy]

What do you mean how,
What I said was a simple deal

[Stephanie]

thank **** for that.

[Stacey.]

They'll be on Living TV Reality Shows in a few months time and you can't get lower then that.

how is that low?
its better than nothing!

[Stu]

Fact of the matter is if the fanbase was sizeable and commited enough they wouldn't have been kicked from the label, would they?

[Stacey.]

Louis is commited to them :D in talk with a major record label and a new deal for them!
he wont give up!!!!

[Smithy]

Want us to go back and trawl through the numerous threads from months ago where you declared not only Jedward longevity, but a long lasting music career?

What happened that?

lol! i cant wait to bump this post in a few months time! :D

Yeah right..

[Smithy]

omg, they're a headline on ITV news, its not even news!

[Stacey.]

Channel 5 talking about it. they can go onto anything really, as Ian said.
Jayne <3

[Zippy]

I said this would happen. So obvious.

Getting to number 2 dont mean sh*t these days. Its about sales and potential. Their sales were weak and music potential non existent.

I mean, who the hell would listen to a whole album of that cr*p?

Oh yes. This was a good move. They are free to explore other avenues now.

Your so full of **** it's unreal.

[bbfan1991]

Just been reading they've been signed up by Universal on DS:shocked:.

[Enid]

Denial.

Stacey just can't bring herself to admit that Jedward have failed. Their single flopped, Sony threw them to the gutter and now all they can really do is make z-celeb appearances in shady nightclubs out of desperation. They were and always will be a poor novelty act for 13-year-old school girls and the mentally challenged.

[bbfan1991]

Are people not allowed to like Jedward then?, I liked Danyl too another person who people just couldn't help but have an opinion on whether good or bad.. anyway I love the entertainment the Jedward threads have people just go round in circles;).

Shame Danyl, Lucie and Stacey haven't been signed up because Simon and Sony are refusing to sign them up:(.

[Stacey.]

Just been reading they've been signed up by Universal on DS:shocked:.

Where??

[bbfan1991]

Where??

On the Jedward dropped by Sony thread;).

[Sarah.]

Wow. Don't categorize their fans as '13-year-old school girls and the mentally challenged', because I am neither, and neither are many others. Just because the majority of people on this forum don't like them doesn't mean that they have hardly any fans or have failed. So a sell out Irish tour is a fail? A #2 in the UK charts is a fail? They would've probably got to #1 if the single was promoted and distributed properly. All this Jedward hate has gotten really old now. Maybe they aren't the best singers, but people like them because they're fun, nice guys, who care about their fans and are just following their dreams. Seriously, all the hate has grown tedious now.
And with the news that they have been signed by Universal, I guess we'll be hearing more from them. :)

Good. They are talentless ****s.

[hennessy]

I'm sorry but the reason they're so hated is because they're about as useful as Anne Frank's drumkit.

[Kerry]

Now that was quick. Is it a record? :shocked:

[Tom4784]

Theyve far from failed!

Explain that one to me please. They've got dropped, They've failed and everybody's ultimately shrugged because no one really cares apart from ITV News (Just when they couldn't dumb down news any more....) and Live From Studio 5 (completely Brain Dead). Their 15 minutes is over and the more you deny it the more ridiculous you become.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Thank **** for that. I was scared for a moment.... but this has brought faith back to me.

[InOne]

They should become Monks and go live in the desert.
