Default Twins: 'We just want people to love us'
Quote:
The Jedward twins told last night how they have become the victims of a "savage" hate campaign being waged by vile X Factor obsessives.

John and Edward Grimes, 18, say the abuse has got so bad they've been left unable to sleep and have been reduced to tears after receiving a barrage of threats from fans in the street.

Last night in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, the pair said: "We get hate mail and vicious letters. Some of the hate mail is so bad X Factor haven'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."

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.

Lol I wonder if Lloyd has seen on here "Lloyd is shite" etc..

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.

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.
