Bitchy Article in Sun

[kimmois]

Rather bizarre and bitchy article in the Sun about Jedward today, about how there weren't enough people in the audience to break the world record for the loudest decibal recorded scream at the NEC Funfair at Birmingham. And saw this as a presage to the death of Jedward. I suppose that the Sun has to find something to do when not lauding Joe, a midget with the personality and presence of a carboard box.

However, I thought it might be of interest to list the divine, sublime Jedward's achievements so far:

Signed to Global Walsh.
Taken on by Hackford Jones PR
Signed by Sony
Rights to biography bidding war.
Own show commissioned for ITV2.
Own show on 4music
Offers from BBC, Nickleodeon, Disney Channel
Invited to audtion for Peter Jackson.
Rumoured auditions for Baywatch (there's one to miss) & Simpsons.
Guest on Ant & Dec's Xmas special
Guest on Graham Norton's NYE special
Editorials for Esquire/ iD (significant as these are serious fashion/style magazines)
More column inches than all the other X Factor contestants combined.
Twice as many shows/PAs booked than any other contestant.
17 extra shows added to X Factor tour because of Jedward demand.
Up to £40,000 for PAs


All this after just one month out of the competition. Bitchiness from that august journal, The Sun, aside, it's clear there's only one, or rather two winners of this years X Factor.

Hold on - they were in ESQUIRE magazine? When?

Kimmois, how did you find out about the boys being booked for more gigs than the other contestants?. Anyone seen any pics for Esquire?. I've seen the ID pics and they look really HOT!

I was at the NEC, they make it sound like there was only 10 people or something. There wasn't that little. I'd say around 40 people or something. Not the most but it's not bad considering it wasn't heavily advertised. If it hadn't have been for this site I wouldn't have known about it. They failed to mention that didn't they? Ugh tabloid newspapers anger me, yet I still read them...

Jedward are here to stay so the sun can f*ck off trying to take them down.

I thought Gordon Smart was a fan. I suppose never trust the tabloids!

No, filming of Harry Potter is almost over.

[kimmois]

No Sir Benson, that's the Hobbit Movie for Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro.

The Esquire editorial was spoken about in a recent interview and I read that they have indeed booked more PAs than any other X Factor contestant, even the finalists.

Oh, and I downloaded Rage Against the Machine, Killing in the Name, 14 times.
