So, John and Edward were finally poised to be out of the X Factor competition, and looked likely to be after being pitted against 18-year-old Lucie Jones, who can actually sing. As much as I've enjoyed the twins' antics, the fact that they did not secure enough votes to stop them from landing in the bottom two suggests, perhaps, that they are not as popular as they once were. This year's X Factor has slowly been losing its credentials as a singing competition, with the twins at the forefront, but Simon Cowell finally had the chance to do something about it. And he didn't. Because he thinks that John and Edward will have people tuning in to watch their antics. And they probably will. But there is also the risk that this attitude will backfire as he is now turfing out talented singers in favour of two boys who are merely there to make a spectacle of themselves. He cannot now blame it on the public, who, it seems, were trying to show tonight that, actually, the twins aren't for them so much anymore. Only next week's show will prove whether Cowell made the right choice.
