X FACTOR creative director Brian Friedman, has claimed that if John and Edward Grimes won, it would ‘make a mockery’ of the show. He went on to plead with the viewers to stop voting for the teenagers.

In an interview with The News Of The World, Brian has admitted that while Dublin lads John and Edward are great entertainment but their vocals are so bad that Brian said listening to the boys sing is like ‘entering the gates of hell.’

Brian also admitted that Simon has dedicated more time to Danyl Johnson’s song choice this week, after he was left in the bottom two last week.

He said Simon’s initial worries about a Grimes victory have been eclipsed by the thought that Danyl – one of Simon’s favourites to ever appear on the show – could be next to leave.

Brian said: ‘There is no way to figure out exactly what the public are voting for.’

“But I really hope the viewers with actual music taste got the wake up call they needed with Danyl and Miss Frank being in the bottom two last week – they have to get voting for people who can sing.”
