I suspect that you all have missed the point of all this stuff about the ‘gruesome twosome’.
The object of the exercise at this stage is to keep the show at the front of a media publicity campaign, as well as to make ‘loadsa money’ out of all the phoned in votes for the show’s owners.
By letting ‘Jedward’ go through to the next round, a media storm is once again created, one that will positively encourage voters next week (and the week after etc) to phone in with their votes to ensure that their favourite act doesn’t get bumped off by ‘Jedward’
Sadly, Simon Cowell’s comments to the effect that the delicious Miss Jones could’t have won the final were all too true. She is a lovely looking girl and has a charming and open smile AND she can sing in tune – a combination of which has brought her this far. Problem is that she is still too young & innocent and lacks the necessary toughness to succeed in the pop misic world. Her parents must be incredibly proud of their little girl (and quite rightly so), but at the end of the day she is still a naive 18 year old from a tiny Welsh village.
I predict that Jedward will go through AGAIN next week!
