UNbelievable: When Did The X Factor's Eoghan Quigg Become a Jonas Brother?

16 year-old Eoghan Quigg from Northern Ireland was a very popular contestant on the past season of The X Factor, the British talent show that bore Leona Lewis. He just barely missed winning this show in December, but his huge fanbase helped him score a record contract with RCA Records.

His self-titled debut is reportedly out next week, and his first single (minus charity single "Hero") "28,000 Friends" has been making the UK music channel circuit for the last few weeks or so.

Now, if you happened to press play above and close your eyes and listen to the first minute or so, you might just mistake Quigg for either Nick or Joe Jonas.

Why?

Because this song, about a girl who has 28,000 friends on all of the social networking websites and doesn't know who any of them are, could've been a castoff from either of the Jonases albums. In fact, considering their "musical growth", this song is even too lame for them. Which means that there should be no reason on Earth why Eoghan Quigg, who actually has a really good voice, should be singing this kind of crap (incidentally, the song was written by a former member of pop/rock band Busted, who the Jonas Brothers were inspired by).

He said that this is the direction he wants to go in for his music. If I was him, I would simply buy a map and turn right back around.

Eoghan Quigg will be released on April 6th.
