The X-Factor Delivers a Double Dose of VFTW This Week

While we don't really care about the British show The X Factor, we have to applaud 2 performances from this week because they just can't be missed.

First, John and Edward perform "Oops I Did It Again". Yes, this is a real group of contestants on the show. It's like Sanjaya had a twin. They made it past this week too. Why doesn't American Idol realize that we want entertaining train wrecks like this?

And speaking of train wrecks, Whitney Houston's performance of "Million Dollar Bill" helps ease the pain we feel from missing Paula Abdul. Whitney's clearly messed up. The best parts are when her dress breaks in the middle of the song and she looks bewildered, and then when she can barely speak at the end.
Bravo this week, X Factor.

Who is that woman in the second clip? She's awful! Did she get eliminated this week?

Those brothers are amazing, and I love that they attempted the whole talking portion of that song.

Whitney Houston may not be the singer she once was, and I never was a fan of her kind of songs (this one is particularly stupid) or the group dancing thing, but she's still pretty damn talented. And she wan't lip-syncing or using an autotuner. But yeah, if she laid off the drugs and got a little aerobic exercise it would help.

The last time we saw Whitney performing she looked like this:

Personally, I am just glad she survived that and is still singing, albeit in a lower register.

Talk about singing in the low register! She might as well be a baritone, and even there she ain't singing particularly well.

The twins are awesome, they suck ass and didn't stay in tune at all, but they are cute and entertaining, made me laugh so much. I'll be waiting for their underage gay incest sex tape.

Love the twins.  They are pure entertainment.

Let it be known, the Whitney Houston video you posted is the edited version from the X Factor YouTube account, to make her performance look "better" and to remove all the times she paused during the actual performance.

Bye Bel, your constant attempts to be edgy are pathetic. Now incest jokes? Take it to NAMBLA you loser.
