X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes, have said that their lack of singing talent is not important, because they are ‘current artists.’

John told The Mirror: “I know people are saying we can’t sing, but we’re singing current songs and we’re trying to show that we’re current artists.

“The thing is, we can’t come out and just wail these massive ballads. We want to be doing something people have never done on a show like this before.”

Edward added: “You don’t see artists nowadays just singing, they are dancing too and showing that they can actually put on a live show.

“People don’t want to spend 80 quid on a ticket to see someone just standing there singing.”
