I would imagine it's more likely that the accent from Ireland has had an influence on the American one in places where there were large pockets of Irish immigrants, rather than as the OP is implying that Jedward are mimicking a US accent. (Probably a little New York).

Personally I think the Irish accents from both North and South are pretty darn sexy!
