Irish twins wooing 'X-Factor' voters with treats

‘X Factor’ finalists John and Edward are trying to win over fans by handing out sweet treats.

The Grimes twins, from Dublin, impressed devotees who have been waiting outside the London house where the show’s finalists are staying, by “waving and grinning” from windows and performing their “high kicks” to entertain them.

A fan told The Daily Mirror newspaper: “John and Edward also gave out biscuits and Coca-Cola and put their coats round fans’ shoulders so they wouldn’t get too cold.”

However, despite their efforts, devotees still do not believe they have what it takes to win the show.

One waiting schoolgirl said: “Realistically, they’re going to end up being TV presenters, not singers.”

Fans cite Stacey Soloman and Lucie Jones as the nicest contestants, but have not been as impressed by girl band Miss Frank.

Another fan said: “Miss Frank just did the car window up instead of saying hello. They didn’t smile or say ‘hi’ when other guys approached them either.”

Meanwhile, it has been reported that on the live show this Saturday, John and Edward will sing Britney Spears’ classic track ‘Oops I Did It Again’, while Miss Frank will perform Whitney Houston’s ‘All the Man That I Need’.

Lucie is also believed to be performing a Whitney track after she was pictured carrying a CD with “Lucie week 2 – ‘How Will I Know” – written on it, referencing another of the singer’s hits.
