I DON’T know why the young girls of today scream with excitement whenever they see the boy band One Direction.

Not being a great lover of boy bands I just don’t see anything to get excited about. If they are the best in the world the rest must be very poor. In my opinion, they’re nowhere near as good as Take That, Boy Zone and West Life etc.

And what about Justin Beiber? What do young girls see in him?

But I reserve my greatest approbation for Jedward.

Now these twin boys from Ireland, who made their fame on X Factor, really are the pits.

They can’t sing or dance, and act like a couple of 12-year-old boys larking about.

It makes my blood boil that they have made a fortune without any talent whatsoever.

They make the Chuckle Brothers look good. Personally, I would rather watch Pinky and Perky.

At least they were slightly amusing.
