American is such a beautiful language

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!

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

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.

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