Former X Factor contestants Same Difference have revealed that they enjoy watching John and Edward Grimes on the show.
Sean Smith told Live From Studio Five: “I think they’re a good laugh every time. I just think they’re all much of a muchness, the other guys, and then all of a sudden they come on and it just seems to light up the screen and puts a smile on your face. What more do you want on a Saturday night?”
X Factor stars Same Difference are reportedly in talks to front a children’s TV show.
The sister/brother band were dropped by Simon Cowell’s record company earlier this year but have other projects underway.
“It’s an obvious route for us and we have a huge fan base for the under 10s,” Sarah Smith told The Daily Star.
Same Difference have admitted that they believe being dropped from their record label may have been a blessing in disguise, thought they think Cowell’s company gave up on them too quickly.
The sibling duo were signed by Cowell’s record label soon after X Factor ended last year, but axed in April after their debut album failed to set the charts on fire.
Speaking about the decision in an interview with The News, Sean Smith admitted: “We still think there were four or five more great songs on the album that could have been singles and helped to sell a lot more copies of the album, but that’s the music industry.”
Same Difference, the cheesiest siblings in town have released their debut single and album titled Pop
Same Difference made it to the final three X Factor acts in 2007 and returned to the show on Saturday night to perform their new single We R One.
Rhydian Roberts also returned, and in my opinion blew Same Difference out of the water! He sang live, perfectly and powerfully. Same Difference mimed, pulled really silly faces and lets not mention Sarah’s weird hairdo.
Same Difference, the cheesy pop duo, who almost won last years X factor are finally releasing their first single, which you can watch above.
X Factor runners up, Same Difference, have been offered a £1 million record deal by Simon Cowell’s record company, Syco, according to The Sun.
The brother and sister duo had originally been offered a one single deal, which had been delayed, but reports now suggest that they will now release a full album which will include songs that have been written by previous X Factor winner, Leona Lewis.
Same Difference’s Sarah said: “We were on the train to London when we got the call.
“I think we probably deafened all the passengers because we were screaming so much. Read more & comment »
Being an X Factor runner up isn’t all its cracked up to be. You go from having every minute of every day planned out for you before the shows final, then the day after the show ends the staff are nowhere to be seen, and no one wants to know you.
A journalist from Same Difference’s local newspaper happened to be with the duo on the morning after the grand finale, and told us that Sarah and Sean looked completely lost. They didn’t know if they should stay in the hotel or get ready to go home, and the X Factor crew that had been constantly with them for months had all suddenly disappeared.

X Factor runners up, Same Difference, have scored a record deal with show judge, Simon Cowell.
However, the deal is a bit of a test, as the brother and sister group will only be signed for one single at first and will go on to record an album if the first track sells well.
“We have to sell loads and hopefully make number one before they will sign us for an album,” Sean Smith told the Daily Mirror.
I am so excited about this weeks X Factor that I might just wee my pants….OK, too much information I know, but the X Factor final is always one of the best nights TV of the year.
We have been provided with the contestants song choices for Saturday night, and based on those alone I think that Rhydian Roberts finishing in top position is almost a certainty. O Holy Night is one of those songs that touches peoples hearts when it is sang well, it was one of Leona’s best performances last year and Rhydian is sure to follow suit.
I’m not so sure about Jason Donovan singing with Same Difference. I think that out of all the acts, Simon Cowell’s remaining group have drawn the short straw. I love Jason, but when was the last time he had a hit record? I think I was about 13 at the time, and let me tell you, that wasn’t recently. And how many songs are written for three people? Jason and Sarah could sing especially for you while Sean does a groovy dance, but I don’t think it would be a vote stealer.
You’ll notice that I haven’t mentioned Leon. There is a reason behind this. I’m afraid that if we mention him too much, we may attract more attention and therefore more votes to the worst X Factor dancer ever. Therefore I am going to keep my lips buttoned and hope that there is a breakdown in the Scottish telephone network on Saturday night.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings…….here are the songs: Read more & comment »
Aw, how sweet! The former Neighbours love birds will be reuntied once more as they both give performances on this weeks X Factor final.

X Factor finalists, Same Difference are starting to feel the pressure as they get closer and closer to the end of their journey on the show.
Sean in particular seems to be suffering, as he revealed to The Sun
“I hyperventilate before every performance and I can’t sleep on Friday night. The pressure’s really on.”
X Factor finalists Same Difference, or rather Sean from Same Difference has been talking about the difficulties he is experiencing in upholding the sex ban which Simon Cowell imposed at the beginning of the show.
Speaking to The News Of The World, Sean said:
“I can’t go out and be a lad because we have this image. I don’t want to risk ruining it for us. I can’t do the things that I used to associate with pop stardom. I have to be very careful about one-night stands. I can’t have sex with a girl at the moment,” said Sean, 21.
He added: “Simon would be disappointed. He’d wash his hands of us because he’s worked so hard to create something so amazing.
“I don’t want to ruin it for my sister. I’m a great believer in lust being a bit of a sin—it never comes good in the end.”
X Factor finalists have been known to get up close and personal, just look at Leon Jackson and Emily Biggs, and recent stories would suggest that Sarah from Same Difference and Rhydian Roberts may be more than just friends.
Sarah is said to be singing the Welsh singer’s praises to all her friends. She told one friend: “He is so charming and we share so many passions. We were drawn together by our love of God. Rhydian has been so supportive to me and I really admire his strength.”
She added: “He really is very sexy too.”
Sarah’s friend told The People newspaper: “She has become very close to Rhydian. They have a good laugh and share the same Christian values. They have been inseparable.”
Ohhhh, don’t you just love a good romance!
The X Factor final three have been decided and next weeks show will be a battle of Britain.
We have a finalist from England (Same Difference), one from Wales (Rhydian Roberts) and one from Scotland (Leon Jackson).
Here’s hoping that England or Wales win out, if Leon wins the X Factor, he will have been forgotten by the time next years series comes around!
Niki Evans has just narrowly missed out on a place in the X Factor final as she was booted off the show tonight.
Niki was visibly gutted and has stated many times tonight that she believes the X Factor is her last chance. It was sad to see her go.
However, I am thrilled that Rhydian Roberts and Same Difference are through to the final. Not so thrilled about Leon, and if he wins this years show I will be furious. Wouldn’t it be cool if all the phone lines in Scotland went down on saturday night. If that happened I think Leon would be lucky to get two votes.
Come on people. There must be some sympathetic BT worker out there who could help us out….
