Jedward, Olly Murs back 'X Factor' Wagner

Jedward and Olly Murs have voiced their support for X Factor's Wagner Carrilho.

The 2009 X Factor finalists have backed the Brazilian singer, who has been criticised by some fans of the show for his lack of vocal ability.

"I think Wagner's great. He brings an element of fun to the show and I think it needs that," Murs told X Magazine.

"There are too many of the same songs each week. Wagner brings a giggle along and you feel he's having fun up there, at least. I think that's why people are voting for him, I really do."

Meanwhile, Jedward added: "We love Wagner. Like us, he's received quite a bit of criticism, but every week he delivers an amazing performance.

"The show is not just about who has the best vocals, it's also about who can put on a great show, and with the help of Brian Friedman Wagner delivers a great stage show that entertains the viewers each week. What more can you ask for?"
