The twins, John and Edward, recently represented their home country at Eurovision and will now show off their singing and dancing skills to the President of the United States of America when he arrives in Dublin today, May 23.

Speaking to the BBC about the honour, they said "We're very excited, it's an honour to perform for the most famous man in the world, after Simon Cowell that is."

Watch Jedward's rendition of 'Lipstick' at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest, in which they came a respectable eighth, here:

Although the competition in Dusseldorf was viewed in the UK as a battle of boy bands, with 00s group Blue behind the Union Jack and twins Jedward up for Ireland, Europe seemed to disagree and voted heavily for power-pop duo Ell and Nikki’s romantic duet ‘Running Scared’.

Favourite to win, Amaury Vassili of France, came in 15th place while outsiders Italy managed to shock everyone by landing in at second place.

Check out the music video for the winning entry ‘Running Scared’ below:

Twins John and Edward Grimes are second favourites to win the competition tonight with their track 'Lipstick', only coming in behind France’s entry, tenor vocalist Amaury Vassili. Irish fans have even been seen in Dusseldorf this week sporting cardboard versions of the pair’s famous quiffs.

Megastars ABBA famously won the contest in 1974 with their song ‘Waterloo’. The Swedish foursome went on to become one of the most successful acts of all time.

Speaking to The Sun, John Grimes boasted: "We want to be bigger than Abba."

Edward added: "When Abba were on the contest it was all about the outfits, and we want to do the same. We can't wait to be really successful all around the world."

The twins, John and Edward, explained that despite being at the mercy of throngs of female fans they can't react because the press would be all over it and would use the stories as entertainment:

"We know all these girls but we can’t go out with them because it’d be a huge press story"

The pair also addressed rumours about their sexuality, and explained:

"It happened to Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers. You’ve got to realise what comes with being in the public eye. We don’t mind if people call us gay; it’s not a big deal. We like girls."

In addition to talking about their abstinence, they also debuted a new, edgy look in the magazine which will be available from Wednesday, April 20. Watch Jedward's latest home video here:

The duo are set to replace the well-known mascot Coco the Monkey on boxes of Kellogg's Coco Pops, according to the newspaper which quotes John Grimes as saying:

"When you walk into the shop all you will see is our faces and kids will be begging their parents to buy us. That's going to be cool."

Jedward are continuing to raise their profile ahead of 2011's Eurovision song contest, at which they will represent their native Ireland with a song called 'Lipstick', and you can watch their newly released home video that features an homage to Katy Perry here:

The twins, who are representing their native Ireland at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, revealed that after a bit of convincing they persuaded mentor Louis Walsh to hand over the single:

"We persuaded Louis to give us a song written for Westlife. It's more of a pop ballad than anything we've done before."

Edward added:

"We're gonna prove we can sing."

Twins John and Edward Grimes outshone four other contestants on last night's The Late Late Show with their performance of song entry 'Lipstick'.

The brothers will be performing at the song contest in May, which is due to be held in Germany. Speaking with Digital Spy, the pair said: "We are so happy to have been chosen to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest.

"It's the most amazing honour and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for the song tonight.

"We'd also like to thank our mentor Caroline Downey-Desmond for all her support and the song writers for writing such an amazing song that we are really looking forward to performing in Düsseldorf in May."

Twins John and Edward Grimes have enjoyed successful careers since appearing on the talent show and they released their debut album, 'Planet Jedward', last summer, which consists entirely of cover songs. 

ESC Daily revealed that the competition, which is set to take place in Germany's Düsseldorf, will include other Irish talent in the form of Nikki Kavanagh, Don Mescall and The Vard Sisters. 

Check out Jedward's recent interview here:

The twins have been mostly known for their novelty cover versions of other artists’ hits, but this time around, the pair are looking for some original material for their follow up to this year’s ‘Planet Jedward’.

In an interview with the Daily Star, Edward Grimes said: "We’re thinking about the next album and the next single.

"We’ve got people writing them who have written for JLS, Backstreet Boys, Westlife and Take That," he revealed.

When asked about this year’s ‘X Factor’ joke act Wagner, the twins insisted that they will still reign supreme over that special brand of ex-contestants.

John Grimes said: "We’re only 19 and Wagner’s about 50. I think we’re the real winners because we’ve got Louis Walsh and we’ve got a really great team around us."

Watch John and Edward's video for 'All The Small Things' below:

Irish pop duo Jedward have received an official apology from BAA after launching a formal complaint after a series of incidents involving security staff at Heathrow airport.

The pair, who fly out of Heathrow at least three times a week, complained about “rude and unprofessional” staff.

Jedward, who finished in sixth place on last year's 'X Factor', have gone from strength to strength since appearing on the talent contest, and recently announced that they are to buy each other Ferraris.

“The Ferraris are on order!” revealed Edward. “John is having a yellow one and I am having a red one. Now we need driving licences!”

The cars, which will cost the pair around £250,000 each, will be capable of speeds of up to 202mph and come with a massive 4.5 litre v8 engine.

You can catch Jedward, and maybe their Ferraris, at their nationwide tour, which finishes off at London’s Indigo2 on 29 November 2010.
