Jedward Dropped

2010-03-16 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 29 Comments
Karaoke twins Jedward have been dropped by label Sony after their debut single 'Under Pressure' failed to reach top spot in the UK charts.

The Irish duo, John and Edward Grimes, were catapulted to fame last year on the back of their success on Simon Cowell's TV talent show X-Factor. The pair didn't win the competition, but their distinctive haircuts and unique interpretation of harmony caught the nation's imagination, leading the show's sponsor Sony Entertainment to offer them a deal.

Their first single, a cover of Vanilla Ice's 'Under Pressure,' featured a guest spot from the American rapper, but only managed to reach #2 in the UK singles chart.

Manager Louis Walsh is understood to be in negotiations with other labels to resurrect the twins' career.

Good riddance, I can't believe that the Irish were proud of these talentless douchebags, is this really what we want to be famous for?

Great news.

Now we just need Brokencyde and Millionaires to give each other STD's and die, and the musical gods may have mercy, and the apocalypse of 2012 may be avoided.
