Oh where to start..

It obviously doesnt take a couple of sales as your obsession Jedward have very conclusively proven. Joe's at no5 theyre at...God knows where I got bored scrolling past the top100 mark. Both released same time.

As for your comment about being desperate enough to do certain shows...oh my oh my! Do I really need to point out the glaring irony?

At least the shows he wins actually involve TALENT and are relevant to what he does. He has a top 10 hit album on the back of it but it was a bad move? K, good luck with that effed up logic.

Seriously, you talk no sense whatsoever.

Oh really?

From the Daily Mail re Joe:

In April 2011, after 16 months, his contract with Syco expired and was not renewed, due to low sales of "Someone Wake Me Up". A source at Syco said, "Simon gave Joe the best chance possible of success by making sure he worked with some of the world's top producers. Joe's a lovely boy and it is a pity it did not work out."

That is what I call......... blowing it.

You are obsessed with chart sales when most people regard them as an irrelevance. Jedward's fanbase are far more likely to download MP3s from P2P sites.

I really hope Joe's exposure on Operastar will help him.

Ultimately money talks though. In financial terms Jedward have been incomparably more successful than Joe. It may not be what you want to hear but it is a fact. Sorry!
