Like for example, Belle Amie. Do you know their names as seperate people? I only know Rebecca..

They were known as John and Edward originally but so popular were they that the fans they amassed from the start of the series as in auditions and bootcamp that by the time of the 'live' shows those fans had formed the Jedward tag which has stuck since, just more evidence of the pulling power they have.

I can't recall any act on other X Factors having such an influential fan base so early on that resulted in a new name for the act too.
