The 18 year old twins John and Edward Grimes are the topic of most tabloids in the U.K. The twins have been ridiculed and hated for “having no talent” and for making “unintelligent” remarks. The kids have been almost been the subject of the worst ridicule any teen could go through and the ridicule doesn’t come from peers but adults and newspaper journalists as well. Their fault could be that they look crisp and fresh, and sing less and talk less and look good on stage.

The X Factor experts have come down heavily on the twins but their popularity only seems to be rising. It is a different thing to be able to sing or not, but to rip two kids apart in tabloids and make fun of everything they say or do is something that is uncalled for and not expected of a civilized country. Jedward, or how the twins are known, are virtually indistinguishable and you could go ahead and read about them on Daily Mail.

The twins were also abused physically and verbally at school as they always stick to each other. The tabloids do not seem to be treating them any better. If you do not like someone’s singing, you have the option of not listening to them. Or you could be grateful for all the juice they provide for the tabloids to bitch about. Making a pair of 18 year old twins the object of national hatred is uncalled for.
