X Factor bosses accused of ‘fixing’ after they ordered soundmen to drown out twins John and Edward
Love them or hate them, X Factor twins John and Edward have caused an almighty stir in recent weeks.
Each show they've surprised us with bizarre dance moves and mad styling, but many have accused the terrible twosome of lowering the standard of the competition.
And now it has been revealed that X Factor bosses ordered soundmen to drown out the twins' singing - with backing vocals! SEE ALL THE X FACTOR PICS HERE!
Last night X Factor chiefs revealed that every act gets ‘technical support'.
But it seems that some get more of a helping hand than others.
A show insider said: ‘Every week session singers record backing tracks to some songs.
‘But soundmen are told to turn down the levels of the twins' mics so their vocals are mostly covered by the backing singers. Often mics are so low the twins' singing would be barely audible.‘
The source also added that Jedward's Saturday performance of Queen's Under Pressure was lowered to a ‘ridiculous level', only being raised for the rapping part.
No doubt this news will leave fans angry, after thousands complained when the public voted to keep the pair in.
But it seems John and Edward are ratings gold, and with Mr Cowell in charge, we can't help thinking they're here to stay.
Do you think it's time for the twins to go? Or are there any Jedward fans out there? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below.
