The Irish pop duo, who are identical twins, rose to prominence after appearing (and losing) on Britain's X Factor program where contestants showcase their 'talents' before a panel of judges. They released "Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)" featuring Vanilla Ice earlier in the year, which attracted immense criticism and controversy. Both covers will reportedly appear on the group's upcoming album "Planet Jedward".
