Haven't heard it yet, but I would have liked these two to do well, they were my favourites on the last XFactor and I think their version of Desperado on the show, was very good.

They were my favourites on the show too. I liked almost everything they did. Wish them well with `The Circle'. It took a couple of listens to really get into it, but it does grow on you.
