Jedward confirmed to new deal. :cheer2:


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8573139.stm

X Factor finalists John and Edward Grimes - otherwise known as Jedward - have switched record labels and signed to Universal, it has been confirmed.

The announcement comes a day after it was reported the duo had been dropped by Sony, with whom they released their first single, Under Pressure.

However, it is not clear whether the duo had ever signed to Sony for more than a one-off single.

Manager Louis Walsh said he was "completely committed" to the twins.

Walsh, who mentored the 18-year-olds on the X Factor added he was "delighted" to have secured a new deal.

"I know they still have a great career ahead of them. The boys have a sell-out tour in Ireland that they start straight after The X Factor Tour in April." he added.

The twins divided X Factor fans when they made it through to the final 12, despite a general inability to sing in tune - or in time with one another.

However, their energetic performances of Ghostbusters, We Will Rock You and Oops, I Did It Again, combined with their outrageous outfits, made them, arguably, the series most memorable contestants.

In January when they signed their first deal, the pair said they were "living our dream".

Their first single Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) - a duet with rapper Vanilla Ice - was beaten to number one by US band Owl City in February, despite a high profile performance at the National TV Awards.

The track dropped out of the top 10 after a week.

:D

Louis Walsh has announced that Jedward Easter eggs will be launched soon.

Walsh, who manages the twins, explained that he is exploring various opportunities outside of music.

"I have TV ads lined up for them here and even Jedward Easter eggs are going on sale," he told Now.

Earlier this week, it emerged that the former X Factor stars had been dropped by Sony, but they later signed a deal with Universal.

Walsh has claimed that the change is "Sony's loss and Universal's gain".

LMFAO

I'd buy one.

:D woo!

Louis reveals Jedward album plans :D

Louis Walsh has revealed details of what John & Edward's fans can expect from the pair's debut album.

The X Factor judge recently arranged for his protégées to sign a record deal with Universal after they were dropped by Sony after just one single.

Speaking on Justin Lee Collins: Good Times about the duo's future plans, Walsh explained: "I'm making a record with Jedward. We've got a new deal with Universal and we've got some good songs."

He continued: "There's going to be a lot of samples on there - samples from great, great classic songs. We're going to sample MC Hammer, Kris Kross and House Of Pain."

Walsh also confirmed that the brothers' cover of 'Ghostbusters' will feature on the disc, but the other tracks will be ones that the public have not heard them sing before.

John & Edward's first single release 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)' entered the UK chart at number two last month before dropping to 12 a week later.

They're coming to my town some time in April :|

Jared Leto has revealed he is a huge Jedward fan.

The Fight Club star, whose band 30 Seconds To Mars performed an exclusive live session for Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show on Absolute Radio, confessed he thought the best thing about Twitter was it had helped him make friends with X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes.

Jared said: "One of the pleasures of Twitter is that someone introduced me to Jedward."

O. M. F. G.

Stacey Get the gas & air ready

What won't they do for a bit of Publicity :bored:

oh look, my boy jared is now a jedward fan. hope you're happy. :|

oh i am!!!! :D
Sensible, he is.

is it wrong that i want to see them naked on peta?

Nope, perfectly normal. :D

Yes, very very very very very very very very very very very very wrong!

no - its only you that doesnt want to. :nono:

umg :|

lmfao!

Hardly convincing. He was probably being sarcastic.

Why the hell would he be a fan after just one crap single? Can't even imagine. Unless he's a naff prat with the musical taste of a 13 year old girl. :joker:

:bored: varied people like them btw.

I can't imagine why somebody who didnt watch X-factor would remotely care about them. Jared saying he's a fan makes no sense and I don't believe it.

He's a fan after seeing the Vanilla ice video? :joker:

hopefully he was. xD

and nah, he has good taste. he likes sigur ros, placebo and alien ant farm iirc.

:D lol.

X Factor twins Jedward have hoovered up a new role - as the new faces of Shake 'n' Vac.

John and Edward Grimes, 18, who shot to fame on Simon Cowell's talent show, will star in a tongue-incheek remake of the famous 1980s TV ad.

They will also record a new version of its jingle "Do the Shake 'n' Vac, and put the freshness back".


It is part of a six-figure deal with cleaning firm S.C. Johnson - makers of the powder sprinkled on carpets before hoovering.

A Jedward source said: "Just like in the original the boys will sprinkle Shake 'n' Vac on a carpet while dancing around."

The original commercial, starring actress Jenny Logan hoovering in high heels while singing the famous jingle, was voted best TV ad of all time in a 2007 poll. The Jedward version will be on TV screens in early summer.

They have signed up to do panto at Christmas time this year, they will be fairy god bothers :D

Yeah, lmao.
saw that :D
they`ll be great!!

:dance:
