X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman has compared listening to John & Edward to "entering the gates of hell".

In an interview with the News of the World, Friedman claimed that if the twins won it would make a "mockery" of the show.

"They don't deserve to win," he said. "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."

Friedman explained that working with the brothers is difficult because they lack concentration.

"They live on Planet Jedward," he said. "They're so hyperactive it's hard for them to focus. I'm constantly having to 'shush' them. I've had to assign them each an assistant to keep them on track - like they're little kids.

"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."

Friedman added that he hoped viewers would stop supporting the twins, saying: "I don't know what the public are voting for. I hope viewers got the wake-up call they needed with Danyl and Miss Frank being bottom two last week - they have to get voting for people who can sing.

"John and Edward's singing is basically unbearable. Every week I listen to their track for the first time and it's like entering the gates of hell. By the time they get on stage they can pull it off because there is loud music, dancing and backing vocals."

However, Friedman did praise the twins' personalities, describing them as "kind, lovable young men" who are "fun to watch" and would make good television presenters.

"You've got to hand it to them," he added. "They've taken everything in their stride and they're living the popstar dream."


Interesting everyone is going against them, do you think its Simon doing this or is it really Brian saying theese words..
