But I felt a bit sorry for <a href=\"http:\/\/xfactor.itv.com\/2009\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jedward<\/a>&nbsp;on Saturday night. Despite their chutzpah, they&#39;re just two young&nbsp;boys and knowing people are booing them can&#39;t be easy. Goodness only knows how their parents must be feeling. And I&#39;d still rather watch the Twins on the X Factor than someone&nbsp;safe and predictable like Lucie. The last thing we need is another Leona Lewis dominating the charts.      <\/p>\n<td width=\"5%\">     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Jedward_101109.jpg\" alt=\"Jedwood\" title=\"Jedwood\" width=\"149\" height=\"174\" \/>&nbsp;           <br \/> \n<p>  So I&#39;m struggling to understand all the fuss about Simon putting the final say on Saturday&#39;s show to the public vote. If more people had voted for Lucie she would, presumably, still be in the competition. The fact she isn&#39;t proves that not enough people voted for her &#8211; which means more people want to see the Twins.   <\/p>\n<p>  If like Cheryl the Twins are your &#39;guilty pleasure&#39; (!), you may like this t-shirt from&nbsp;<a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/Zavvi.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">Zavvi<\/a>.
