John and Edward are consitently annoying and irritating with their poor performances and their confidence just comes off as arrogance and cockiness.

Clearly the public as a whole disagree. The public are notorious for voting out people who they find arrogant and cocky. Daniel this year is a perfect example. He was in the bottom two one week because the public do not like him due to his confidence, despite his talent. John and Edward are continually voted in by the public because the public like them. If they were truley annoying, then the public would not keep voting them safe.

On one of the shows, John and Edward forgot the lyrics to Queen's We Will Rock You during their live performance, which they had hours to practice. How can you expect them to be successful pop stars if they cannot remember lyrics to songs?

Humans are not perfect, they are prone to mistakes, and this is true of singers aswell. Many good performers have forgotten their words on stage at one point or another. John and Edward have to remember so many dance moves that it is hardly surprising that they forgot their words. What John and Edward did, which is very professional, is continue with the rest of the song. That is truley the sign of great, resilient performers.

John and Edward are purely entertainers. They have no talent in singing or dancing. Their vocals are no where near as good as the other contestants in the competition.

Entertainers - that is precisely why they are still on the show. There are many people who cannot sing who are performers and so are popular. Robbie Williams is a great example. His charisma and ability to entertain is what brought him fame as a solo artist in comparison to Gary Barlow, who is undoubtedly a better singer.

Another case in point is the difference between Brittney Spears and Christina Aguilara. Whilst Christina is a far better singer, Brittney is more entertaining and is therefore more successful. That is the X factor - which is what the show afterall, is named after. It is this X factor that the show is in search of. This is why it is different from Britain's Got Talent.

We think that Jedward are a disgrace. We, as young people, need someone to look up to. We admire people for their talent like Beyonce and Barack Obama. We can't look up to Jedward because they are immature, useless and talentless. Some people say that they are entertaining but we think they are just annoying. In our class of 19 students, not one student supports them.

Although they canot sing, they are good at entertaining and some people find them funny to watch.

Yes, they are terrible at singing, but as they are good entertainers, many people tune in to XFactor to watch their poor performances.

John and Edward do not take themselves seriously. Every week they get criticised, every week they are hounded in the press, however, they do not lwt this effect them. Surely this is the mark of people who can deal with being in the spotlight. Daniel on the other hand, a great singer, yet cannot deal with the criticism. He has had a new look given to him to make him more likeable. He is allowing what other people say to change him. John and Edward have not changed. They are strong characters and deserve to be on the show for that reason.
