Unless Mamma Jedward is actually off on her private yacht as we speak

Yeah, all "American Accents" are basically a mash up of various European and a few other global accents, with different influences in different areas, and Irish plays a large role in the standard "Hollywood" (white American) accent. They draw out their vowels in the same way, etc.

[edit] Although... I've never heard an American actor pull off a convincing Irish accent... ever...

Their accent is a pretty typical "D4" accent, Noirins was similar, the "rougher" side of Dublin has a thicker accent like Jade and Marc had

It's quite common for Trust Funds not to be accessible until the Trustee is older, I've heard 30 is a common age for that sort of thing. I don't understand why having (what sounds like) responsible parents ensuring their children's fortunes last is a bad thing

The military comparison seems a bit silly and judgemental. When you are looking for reasons to hate on someone then perhaps it's time to consider why that is.

I played on the Vegas circuit for 3 yrs and my northern Irish accent led people to believe I was part american and they loved it.

True, and they are immature for their age, but that's sort of the point. They would blow through that money. And it really isn't just because they are as childlike as they are - like I said, a lot of people who get famous in their teens have blown through their money (and lost the ability / popularity to make much more) by the time they hit their mid 20's.

And I imagine theres quite a lot of money, considering they got 500k each on their first CBB stint, since then they've done Eurovision, Panto, Tours and lots of TV work here and in American

[Tom4784]

I might make learning to speak American my new years' resolution, I wonder if they do courses for it on Duolingo.
