I'd like to start off by saying "Thank you".
A "Thank You" to Louie Walsh for putting the worst duo in the history of the X-Factor through to the finals.
It might only be me, though it probably isn't, but all the judges spout the phrase "Judging on who will do the best in the live finals, I've decided to put through..." just before they destroy the hopes and dreams of the ones who came so far and didn't manage to get into the Live Show.
Now, forgive me if I insult any of you who like the dynamic, hairstyle-crazy duo, but anyone who votes for them and their reason isn't
"They're the same nationality as me"
what the hell is wrong with you?
I'm trying to understand, as best as I can, why in the world Louie put through two of the most tone deaf, smart-alec, disgusting, conniving people in Great Britain. I couldn't agree more with Simon on the fact that they are obnoxious, slimey and haven't got a hope in hell when it comes to singing, but it's just too unbelievable to be true.
Sure, aside from the strippers and the group of girls who banded together from the solo artists, none of the other 4 acts in the Final 6 were that great. But it's not as if one of the other groups could have developed their sound as the show went on.
They put in a terrible, monotonous performance in the final 6 and, for what seemed to be most of the song, were singing exactly the same melody as each other. It's not the first time, but at least the other guy duo tried extremely hard to make harmonies work.
John and Edward were mediocre at best at the first audition, backstabbing leeches at Boot Camp and spineless melody singing field mice at the Final 6.
For the next series, if the producers plan on making the X Factor any more similar to Britains Got Talent than it already is, I'd love to see the inclusion of buzzers for the audition stage.
It makes it more comforting when Simon can express his displeasure with an act by a loud obnoxious sound that ISN'T the act that's currently up on stage.
So, going back to my original statement:
Thank you, Louie Walsh.
Thank you for making Simon's job, Cheryl's job and Danni's job of generating a winner a hell of a lot easier. Because if it gets to the live finals and these pair aren't voted out first, there is something clinically wrong with Great Britain and I can finally make up my mind to move to a country where the underdog isn't the winner every single god damned time.
It's appalling that these two are allowed more than 2 minutes of screen time on Prime-Time National TV.
Never mind the fact that people will possibly be paying to see these two on the X Factor Live Tour.
