Dannii says Jedward win would be a 'disaster'

'X Factor' judge Dannii Minogue has said that it would be a "disaster" for the show and Simon Cowell if John and Edward win the competition.

According to The Mirror, Minogue said: "It would be a disaster for 'The X Factor' and Simon Cowell if Jedward won."

"Simon has to give a £1 million recording contract to the winner. How can he give it to John & Edward when they're not singers?"

"They're entertainers. I wouldn't quit if they won but it would make me question the show's validity. I worry what would happen."

"After Leona Lewis won, the programme turned a corner and became a genuine singing contest, discovering genuine talent."

She said: "If the twins were to win then I would worry that it would go back to the old days, and not be about discovering an amazing act. And that would be sad."
