'X Factor' twins perform for British fans

'X Factor' twins John and Edward were back on song tonight as they performed a private set to hundreds of fans in west London.

'X Factor' twins John and Edward were back on song tonight as they performed a private set to hundreds of fans in west London.

The brothers sang four of the tunes they performed on 'The X Factor' for employees of the show’s sponsor Talk Talk, at the communications company’s head office.

“Jedward” wrapped up in a pair of puffer jackets and kept themselves warm on the cold evening with an energetic set that included the 'Ghostbusters' theme, Robbie Williams’ Rock DJ and Queen’s 'Under Pressure'.

Speaking before their performance the twins said they were now backing Stacey Solomon to win the ITV talent show.

However, they confessed they did not see Lloyd Daniels’ exit this weekend because they were on stage performing at the time.

The pair also had a message of congratulations for Susan Boyle, who topped the album charts this week with record-breaking sales for her debut record 'I Dreamed A Dream'.

Like the twins, Boyle also failed to win her reality show 'Britain’s Got Talent' and the significance has not been lost on the pair.

They said: “The thing about Susan Boyle is she proved she was good and didn’t have to win it at the end of the day, she didn’t have to show what she can do.

“It wasn’t like ’Oh my God, I’ve won’ because it wouldn’t have added much. There would have been more pressure on her, more expected of her but then when she didn’t win it she could go off and do her own thing.”

The twins joked their 'X Factor' highlight was getting their quiffs highlighted for the live show and their biggest regret was not getting to meet R ’n’ B star Rihanna, who performed on yesterday’s results show.

They said: “I wanted to go up to Rihanna and say here’s an umbrella, or get under your umbrella, ella, ella, ay, ay.”

With a busy schedule the twins have not yet decided what their next move will be, but they admitted they have not been short of offers.

“People are saying we can do movies and presenting and all sorts of different things,” they said.

“It’s kind of weird because we came into this competition and it was all about getting a single and getting your album.

“But now there’s all these doors open.”
