LOVE ’em or hate ’em, every man and his dog have an opinion on John and Edward Grimes — or Jedward as they’re better known.
The terrible twins, who will perform at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on Saturday, shot to fame on last year’s “X Factor” and divided the nation, as well as the judging panel.
Some thought their performances of songs such as “Ghostbusters”, “Ice Ice Baby” and “Oops I Did It Again” were beyond atrocious while others claimed to be gripped by Jedward Mania and the pair finished in sixth place. Since the show, the crazy high-haired duo have starred in their own reality show on ITV2 — “Jedward: Let Loose” — as well as releasing two singles and an album.
The Dublin-born twins also toured UK nightclubs including a packed to capacity Tokyo Oldham.
