X FACTOR BRATS: WE'LL WIN
The twins are determined to win the contest

X FACTOR is in a deep crisis because both the tone-deaf Grimes twins and the bookies believe they are sure to win.
It is a hammer blow to telly guru Simon Cowell, who fears teenagers John and Edward could kill off the show.
Now the terrible twins, 18, have branded their rivals lazy whingers who are on an easy ride to fame and fortune.
Our source revealed: “They are cocky and arrogant. They act like they have already won the show.
“The twins could be in for a big shock this weekend as the public, the judges and the other contestants have had enough of their antics.”
Odds on the pair have again been cut, according to Ladbrokes. The lads, who have been as big as 150-1, are now 12-1, from 16-1, to triumph. But their rant at their rivals is sure to make them the most hated contestants ever and see them turfed out by furious viewers.
Judges Cowell, 50, and Cheryl Cole, 26, also think they are a joke who should be kicked out of the contest because they cannot sing.
Other acts, including Stacey Solomon, 20, Jamie Archer, 33, and Joe McElderry, 18, have supported the brothers.
But all that is about to change after John said: “Every week the judges give their acts a song. We always take it on board and work the hardest to get it in tip-top shape.
“But the other acts, they kind of go: ‘Oh, that’s not our style...’ We go with what we’re given, even songs we don’t even know. We’d never heard of She Bangs and had to learn the words and a dance routine last week.”
Edward added: “We don’t just stay in our comfort zone. We go that extra bit further than we have to.”
He said others treat the show like “a singing competition” while “we do a full-on performance as if you’re at a concert”.
John claimed that the solo artists had it easy because all they had to do was sing. He said: “We have to worry about dance routines, we have to perform and we have to have confidence in what we do.
“We’re not just doing one thing. We’re doing three things at once. It’s really weird because as the weeks go by everyone’s kind of chilling.
“We have no time for chilling. They’re like: ‘We just have to sing a song’. But us, we have to focus on a dance routine along with the song.We have no time to chill.”
But the show’s choreographer Brian Friedman, 32, warned: “They need medication those two, to calm themselves down. If I could just staple their mouths, even better.”
And he begged TV bosses not to stage a Michael Jackson tribute week. Brian, 32, added: “It would be blasphemous if the twins sang one of his songs.”
