Trouble at the mill... - The X Factor

Glorfindel · 06-11-2009, 23:28

...according to this article:

Quote:

"John and Edward have their most ambitious performance of the series tonight and have needed lots of rehearsal time to get it right but it has gone down like a lead balloon with some of their competitors, who feel the boys are getting special treatment," says someone in the know, perhaps one of the ghosts they'll be eliminating. "Some of the acts think it gives them an unfair advantage in the race to win the X Factor recording contract and have been bitching and moaning about it. In fairness, it isn't Jedward's fault. It is their most elaborate routine to date and they need to practise but the others are getting pretty fed-up."

And it's not only the routine itself that's rubbed some of the others up the wrong way - there are scheduling issues too. "Simon Cowell isn't an idiot," the ghost goes on. Really? Do explain why. "He realises that many viewers will be tuning in specifically to see them. He wants to keep them watching right until the very end. But this has upset some of their rivals. Everyone likes to perform towards to end of the show as it is closer to when the voting lines open and their performances are obviously fresher in the minds of the voting public."

Play nicely, kids!

YEY ALL THE MEGA BITCHING NOW STARTS

x factor this year is all about jedward

they should rename the show jed factor

lisa1972 · 06-11-2009, 23:35

OMG even that bloody article blames Danyl how ridicuous. Funny, it said contestantS

Kimmoiserie · 06-11-2009, 23:36

Oh sweet Jaysus, it's painfully obvious that the Cowell machine, aided and abetted by the Emperor of trash media, Max Clifford, have something in mind for the boys which extends beyond X Factor.

I'm not surprised the others are jealous as all hell, but seriously did it really take them this long to figure it out?

And they can't mention a name unless it was indeed he who said it, I'm not surprised that it would be Danyl, he entered thinking the whole thing was in the bag and the public just don't like him, why should they he's a douche, I don't hate him, or bear him ill will but if he spent more time concentrating on performance and less on how everyone's been so mean to him then perhaps he'd be doing slightly better in the comp?

Dreamer27 · 06-11-2009, 23:39

Doubt it's very true probably just another fabricated story to make Danyl look like the bad guy but I think it'd be fair enough if they were peeved off especially if the boys keep performing at the end of the show.

What's to be gained from attributing a name to a highly contentious quote in print apart from a class libel action?

lisa1972 · 06-11-2009, 23:42

oh come on, of course they can say that. It said contestants, and you telling me they cant imply who may have said it without really knowing thats what the press does all of the time

InsomniacParade · 06-11-2009, 23:43

Jesus Christ they could have at least tried to get some actual quotes from contestants. Even innocuous quotes twisted to serve the purpose of the article would have been better than nothing.

We wonder who's the most pissed off? Can't possibly imagine who *coughdanylcough* would take such a thing so seriously, can you

you telling me this is just Danyl? Get real, it says some of their competitors and then says "we wonder whos the most pissed off" thats them implying there is NO QUOTE from any of them just this mysterious insider

I kind of knew this was going to happen sooner or later... the twins have far better choreographed dance routines and props so have far better stage presence then the rest but they need all of that to make up for their lack of good vocals.

They're also getting all the limelight (tabloids/media coverage) so it's bound to stir up resentment. The contestants seemed to all get along in the earlier weeks perhaps now they see the twins as a threat so the bickering has started....

They don't seem to like Danyl on the 3am section so the mention of him is par for the course (although partly tongue in cheek, I think).

Did it blame Danyl? Like you I thought it was just all of the other contestants.

Actually if I were them I too would all threaten to walk then SC would not have a show.

Sib69 · 06-11-2009, 23:51

What is there to be gained from making up a story about a show that attracts 13m people other than increased traffic to your site and more ad revenue?

actually · 06-11-2009, 23:52

i wonder - due to jamies threat to quit again

maybe its him

...... just a thought .....

That is not very nice of them is it to insert the Danyl piece.. I suppose the others just said nothing. Still I now expect the 'boys' to come out looking absolutely fantastic, and their routine to be so well executed that it will take the shine out of Fred Astaire.

I love the song they will be singing so that is ok.

Now will the others comeon the stage in jeans and T shirts as the show could not afford to pay for the other acts costumes.

Queen Maeve · 07-11-2009, 00:02

Jedward could rehearse all week and they'd still look half cocked, the just cann't seem to co-ordinate the dance moves and the singing at the same time.

When they are stars they can mine and no one will care.

Michelle12 · 07-11-2009, 00:10

Oh I didn't even read it properly. Why are people constantly picking on Danyl?

Oh for goodness sake, the article said coughdanylcough, do you actually think he said that? Even if he did, good on him, why are these two idiots given so much preparation to perform, well I know why, because they are crap!! Friedman has said they are a joke to work with. They are useless. It has been on the radio tonight, Jamie is considering leaving, it did'nt give a reason, what's the betting it is to do with the idiotic twins who have absolutely no talent and people are only voting for them for a laugh. If Jamie does walk, I would like to see all the others walk, it is a complete travesity and is making a mockery of those who can sing watching these two go through week in week out

Agent F · 07-11-2009, 00:13

Oh well, the rest are dull. Jedward are the only reason I'm still watching.
