I'm not sure what to think about this story really. I can believe that Simon Cowell might have shown Westlife some footage of James & Edward before they were picked, but what does that really prove? If it's true, it proves that he had noticed them but that's about it. Ah, who knows. I wonder if the whole story will ever come out!
I used to read the Metro with a kind of fascinated horror when I was a commuter, but the Sun makes me depressed!
it wouldnt surprise me and as for cowell saying that he will leave the country if they win I bet he will as he will have made a bundle off them 
I did think he was being a bit too dramatic about the whole thing.. definitely something fishy there!!
But of course he'd keep Jodwood in at all costs, they increase viewing figures and phone ins, why else would he constantly keep asking the audience to decide?!
He's doing two things, 1) Eliminating the talented competiton so that his acts have more of a chance of winning and 2) taking a gamble as to whether his own acts can win against Jedward because either way he'll make money - either from one of his own acts or from the marketing cash-cow that is the Jedward phenomenon. He wins either way, however much he detests them. $$$$!
Didnt everyone say the same thing last year with Diana.
She was the only one to sing the Hallelujah song in the boot camp and the song only really suited her voice (even tho my opinion is that they all murdered it)
The second simon picked that song as the single everyone thought they had set her up to win and subsequently voted her out. So think the same thing will happen here.
Same will happen here and those twins will be added to the extensive list of people Simon Cowell has exploited for financial gain.
I would feel sorry for them if they were not so bloody anoying!
Interestingly, complaints have been made to Ofcom this time:

Methinks this is getting out of hand!
I'm cynical enough to believe it is fixed to expand the bank balance of Simon Cowell - he set Alexandra Burke up to win last year (Her duet was with Beyonce; her rivals lumbered with Westlife. Suspicious no?) because she was an inferior version of Leona Lewis. As Leona was actually good and made Cowell money, he saw a winning formula.
But what are Deadlife doing telling the Metro this? Shouldn't they be "behaving" like good Music Corporation Puppets?!
I know, I'm surprised to hear them breaking ranks about it, especially since Louis and Simon are best buddies. Simon will be like, "Louis, for god's sake keep your Westlife biatches in line. Or you will feel the back of my pimp hand."

Thanks for this! I am left with the impression that Cowall might well have been on the graasy knoll that day!
Thanks for a great blog.
Ha ha, maybe!
There are an awful lot of conspiracy theories flying around about this show on the internet now. Simon Cowell is going to have do some some serious PR work to redress the balance I suspect!
Surprise Surprise!
Can't be arsed with shit factor anymore the only entertaining thing Ive seen on it these last few years IS jedward (well tbh ive only seen them do rock dj n ghostbusters!) For me theres much better things to do than watch it like getting a life!! N I think Leona Lewis was also known by simon etc beforehand The year she was on it she was claiming she was just a secretary now in her review interview of her book turns out she was at acting school or the likes! (I could be wrong but Im sure thats what was said in a recent interview) Bring Back Dusty Bin n Strike it lucky yay the excitement of saturday nite tv - not
Ah, you don't fool me - you love it!!

I thought it had always been rigged in some way so this doesn't surprise me. Cowell is all about the money and media coverage = viewers = big bucks so of course he's going to try and influence the votes to ensure the media keeps reporting on X Factor.
Mind, I do like the Metro paper... And the Sun... I'm a gossip whore, I can't help it!
