John and Edward Grimes (born 16 October 1991 in Dublin, Ireland) are an Irish pop duo. They are identical twins and perform under the name Jedward. Widely known for their blond quiffs, the twins first appeared as John & Edward on the sixth series of The X Factor in 2009, generating a phenomenon described as "the Jedward paradox".[1] They finished sixth[2] and are now managed by Louis Walsh, who was their mentor during the show.[3][4]

Jedward's debut single "Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)", featuring Vanilla Ice, was released on 1 February 2010. They first performed the song as a duet with Vanilla Ice at the 2010 National Television Awards on 20 January.[5] Released by Sony Music UK, it reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the Irish Singles Chart.[6][7] Having only had a one-single deal, Jedward were dropped by Sony Music UK on 16 March,[8][9] but signed to Universal Music Ireland on a three-album deal the following day.[10] They then released their second single, a cover of Blink-182's "All the Small Things", on 16 July and their debut studio album Planet Jedward on 26 July.[11] Planet Jedward reached number one on the Irish Albums Chart and number 17 on the UK Albums Chart. It was also certified double platinum in Ireland and platinum in Northern Ireland.[12]

Life and career

Early Years

Identical twin brothers John Paul Henry Daniel Richard Grimes and Edward Peter Anthony Kevin Patrick Grimes were born in Dublin, to teacher Susanna and computer expert John[17] and were raised in Rathangan with their brother, law student Kevin.[18] John is ten minutes older than Edward.[17] John and Edward's first school was Scoil Bhríde National School in Rathangan. They then attended King's Hospital School for four years, but were constantly bullied for standing out from the rest and their love of pop music,[19] before being moved to the Dublin Institute of Education. The twins competed in school talent shows during their school years and were inspired by Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. John and Edward were also members of the Lucan Harriers Athletic Club and Dundrum South Dublin atletics club and have competed in several Irish athletic tournaments.[20] In addition, they briefly worked as games testers for Xbox 360 format holder Microsoft and support football clubs Newcastle United and Celtic.[21]

The X Factor

In 2009, the twins auditioned in Glasgow as a group for the sixth series of The X Factor, under the name John & Edward. [22][23] Despite being described by judge Simon Cowell as "not very good and incredibly annoying", the twins were put through to bootcamp, then made it to the Judges Houses stage where Louis Walsh selected them for the final 12.[24]

The twins' inclusion in the final 12 was a controversial decision, due to their lack of experience,[25] however mentor Louis Walsh stood by them, saying "I don't know how people can hate two nice young kids from Ireland. They've been edited really badly and come across as the people everyone loves to hate... but they're just raw, naïve and innocent and they have the potential to be really good."[26]

John and Edward became known for their unpolished but enthusiastic performances[27], famously including a version of Britney Spears' Oops!... I Did It Again, with the twins reenacting the "Titanic" monologue.[28] It was during the X Factor that fans of the duo gave them the nickname Jedward, which was popularised by the press.[29] Despite their inexperience, they only made it to the bottom two twice, the first time winning the sing-off against Lucie Jones, the second time being voted off in sixth place, in favour of eventual series runner-up Olly Murs.[30]

Planet Jedward

After their departure from the X Factor, Jedward, now officially performing under that name, were signed to Modest! Management, however it was later announced that Louis Walsh had reached "an amicable agreement" with Modest!, which allowed him to take the twins on.[31] From February until April 2010, they performed on the X Factor Live tour, where they were credited with the boost in demand for tickets, that led to an extension in the tour run.[32]

Jedward signed a £90,000 one-single contract with Sony Music in January 2010,[33] and shortly after their debut single "Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)" was release, a mashup of "Under Pressure" and "Ice Ice Baby", with Vanilla Ice contributing guest vocals. The song debuted at number one on the Irish Singles Chart and number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.[33] On March Jedward's Sony contract was culminated, but the following day Universal Music Ireland signed them on a three-album contract.[34]

In April 2010, Jedward began their first solo tour, a 27-date tour of Ireland called the Planet Jedward Tour, extended, due to popular demand, with a second 43-date leg in the UK and Ireland.vThe Irish Independent rated the tour positively, saying that "Jedwardmania is right up there with Beatlemania."[35]

Reactions

Jedward have been subjects of commentary on social networking websites and in the media.[99] Many celebrities have also commented on the Jedward phenomenon.[100] Their fans include Peaches Geldof,[101] Pixie Lott, Westlife[102] and Robbie Williams.[103] Taoiseach Brian Cowen also backed the singers,[104] while Leona Lewis has said that she worries about them.[105][106] Others have openly criticised them, with Liam Gallagher stating: "How do you not smack them? I know all about annoying fucking brothers, but nobody comes close to them. What the fuck is happening to British music? And what are those things on their heads?"[107] Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have both expressed their opinions about Jedward. On 6 November 2009, Taylor opined on BBC News that "They're not good singers. But you know... eight-year olds love them... you know there's nothing wrong with that – it's entertainment",[108] while in week 6 of the X Factor live shows, when May and Taylor were the finalists' celebrity mentors, May told them "You have something, you really do have something." He also said that "People love them or hate them, that's always a good sign. If they're indifferent then forget it. Some people love you, some people hate you – you got something going for you."

Politicians in both Ireland and the UK have also made their feelings about Jedward heard. The two leading British political parties, Labour and the Conservatives, each released campaign posters parodying the twins.[109][110] Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown came under fire in November 2009 for describing Jedward as "not very good" and later apologised for doing so.[111][112] Following this, Walsh stated "So Gordon Brown and Simon Cowell both have something in common: neither of them know what the public want." Current Prime Minister David Cameron admitted that he enjoyed watching The X Factor and that Jedward were his favourite act. Cameron also bought a t-shirt with their faces on it.[111][113][114][115] The Irish Independent called Jedward "tone-deaf twins", even though the pair were voted more popular than The Beatles in a teenage poll.[116]
