What about the simpsons??? What did they do?

Jesus Wept

Not even Edward and John can save The Simpsons.

Why are these fuckwits given so much exposure? Are the general public really THAT stupid?

I guess Dannii Minogue is spinning in her grave

I think they're auditioning for the Trolls....

I saw Jedward t-shirts on sale yesterday.

Auvers

why are people so begrudging to these two young lads?

they are chancers and doing quite well for themselves

so good luck to them and I hope they get the parts

According to The Sun, representatives for producer Peter Jackson approached the twins about auditioning for the parts of Fili and Kili in the 'Lord of the Rings' prequel.

I stopped reading after that who still reads

Yesterday The Sun said Quantum of Solace grossed €1.2billion worldwide, which was only wrong by ....oh only €800m!

Silly question.

Of course they are.

Good luck to them!
Two lads who have a chance of making some money - who will return at various times and spend it here, who will employ Irish people and so on...

Fair fcuks to them!

I hate this attitude "Ah sure aren't they doin' well for themselves, fair play to them for it"

Just because they are doing well doesn't change the fact they are idiots with passable singing voices and stupid hair.

Fago!

DOH!!!

It'd be fookin' epic.

Tolkien would love it.

Good for them, I wish them luck in the future. They may be annoying, but at least they are using what they have to do something.

Good luck to them.

..before someone else comments, no, John and Edward will not save this country from recession.

They will be forgotten in 2-3 months.

But they may save Middle Earth from Smaug.

WindSock

Ahh fair play to them if they get it. Hopefully they won't make a balls of it like Stuart Townsend.

What's this about The Simpsons?

Spastafarian

Jedward as elves in The Hobbit?? I don't love or hate them, but this I wanna see. I can't imagine they have the necessary acting skills though.

so what?

you can always change the channel or turn the page, I personally have only seen them once in passing on the x-factor and your right they are useless but then again I don’t know them personally and I take it either do you.

so how can you be so arrogant and call them "idiots"

You might be right but others (including PR Professionals) think different.
Time will tell if your knowledge of the entertainment industry proves them wrong.

I wouldn't get too excited about this just yet, it looks like they have an Achilles Heel:

From what Ive seen of them they dont appear to have the acting skills necessary to get past any first round of auditions.

But if they prove me wrong, fair play to them.

You're correct, they have stupid hair and passable singing voices, but what makes them idiots?

Simon himself, who didn't like them at all throughout the audition process and at the start of show (and made no bones about it, calling them annoying and repulsive etc.) stated that as he got to know them they were genuinely nice guys, they never let all the bad press got them down, they worked very hard and always had a nice word to say about people.

So barring your obvious jealousy and resentment, please back up what makes them idiots?

It gripes me that the begrugers give out about them.
What the hell do the begrugers want? Another two extra sitting on the dole!
For fcuks sake. Don't like them - turn off!

Me? I wish them well before I see a GENUINE excuse to start wishing them to be on the dole line.

So what IF they are idiots? We have then two idiots still then with enough drive to get their name out there, get possibly hired in the tight entertainment sector, earn serious money and still remain genuine.
What the hell is wrong with that at all?

"...but O' no, lets knock them from the very get go!"

A sad and depressing mentality from some.

Well without extensive testing I can't prove their intelligence, but in my opinion, they come across as idiots

I didn't ask you to prove their intelligence, I sincerely doubt you calling them idiots was to do with their intelligence. You seemed to be attacking them as a person - to belittle someone because of their intelligence is an awful thing to do.

So stupid as to have opinions that are different from yours? Apparently so.

Personally I couldn't give a damn about them or that singing programme but at least they're doing something I suppose. Good for them, hope they have a bit of craic. What else is on?

If you hate them so much you'd be doing yourself a favour by ignoring it. The only time I ever hear about these lads is when somebody's talking how much they hate them.
