John & Edward X Factor update

They're baaaaaaaaack
Lock up your daughters!
Okay, that's it. I'm now convinced that John and Edward Grimes should win The X Factor. Singing talent be damned. THESE are the contestants bringing the goods.

As if last week's slice of perfection "Oops ... I Did It Again" wasn't the best thing ever, the Grimeseses - who have now had "makeovers" that seem to consist of them both having the same hair as Kid of Kid 'n Play - have almost outdone themselves with their breath-taking rendition of Ricky Martin's seminal hit "She Bangs".

It even features one of the twins' trademark key changes, in which the music changes key, but their singing doesn't.

The girls dancing with them (especially the one in the middle) deserve medals. Or their therapy bills to be paid for.

Watch now and be taken straight to heaven.


PS: I love when Louis compares them to Zig and Zag and says "these boys are better than them!" Better than... puppets. Thanks Louis!

It's the Grimes' time to shine o'clock

AMAZING VIDEO: The X Factor's John and Edward

Putting the "why?" in The X Factor
Ireland's got more talent than this ...
Ever since Susan Boyle wowed the world with her combo of impressive warbling and bag lady chic (sort of), people haven't been able to get enough of Britain's Got Talent and now its de facto sister show The X Factor. The X Factor discovered the likes of Leona Lewis, JLS and Alexandra Burke, all talented you may agree, but for mine this year's best discovery have been Irish twins (as in twins from Ireland, not siblings born within a year of one another) John and Edward who are possibly the worst act to have ever made it to the finals of "reality" talent show. And yet, they are so bad they're amazing.

You MUST see the below video of their performance of Britney's "Oops ... I Did It Again" to understand.

Get ready to laugh.



PS: As you may have noticed (just pretend), due to what I'm calling "technical difficulties", I haven't been on The 'Brain for a couple of weeks. Apologies and big thanks so much to CS for her awesome updates.
