Lucie Jones: 'John & Edward can sing'

Lucie Jones has expressed her support for X Factor contestants John & Edward.

The singer, who lost out to the twins on Sunday's results show, told BBC Newsbeat that the suggestion that John & Edward cannot sing is unfair.

Jones said: "It's not called 'The best singer in Britain', it's called The X Factor and it's the performance aspect as well as the voice.

"The twins have definitely got the voice, no matter what people say about them. They might get nervous, I don't know, but they can sing, they're not all over the place, they perform well, they work hard."

She added: "Dannii was upset and angry last night but so was I. We're close and it was just upsetting.

"I think the twins could win it, I think anything could happen this year. They're immensely popular and being in the bottom two doesn't mean anything because Danyl's the favourite, always has been and he's been in the bottom two."
