The Irish twins are set to face off against UK entry 'I Can' by Blue and 23 other countries after qualifying for the competition on Thursday with their song 'Lipstick'.
Speaking to The Sun, Edward Grimes teased that fans could expect a performance as spectacular and memorable as that of Eurovision icons Abba.

He said: "When Abba were in 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."
Jedward's manager Louis Walsh, who mentored the boys during the 2009 series of The X Factor, added: "This is just the start. We've got huge plans to make them stars around the world. They will make their third million this year."
Jedward recently claimed that they will perform for President Barack Obama should they emerge victorious tonight.
