John and Edward are memorable...and in my opinion, they are entertaining. There is a certain uniqueness about them, and I bet there's a lot of people (myself included) looking at websites seeing what song they're going to try next...
Gut feeling : even if they don't win (and don't rule them out), you will hear more of John and Edward...

I certainly don't want to sound catty here, but I find it actually alarming when we find things like that entertaining in a positive sense (everyone is entitled their own opinion of course

) .
They are unique of course, but every of the contestants is. The nimbus that surrounds John & Edward is certainly more the one of betting on the black horse or, even worse, wanting to see them fail/do badly to be entertained. I can live with the former, although it is a slap in the face of every musician out there (not talking about X-Factor contestants here) who spends years on honing their skills and then sees that people with no talent whatsoever get a chance they will never get. They wouldn't be the first however
As for "we will hear of them" - wasn't that what they said about that weird brother and sister duo as well? They are back to Butlins or the like, well done for building them up and then letting them fall ...
