Jedward: 'We're the Obamas of X Factor'

Jedward have compared themselves to US President Barack Obama, saying that they have "brought change" to The X Factor.

The Irish twins claimed that this year's finalists are copying their style in their performances.

According to The Mirror, Edward Grimes said: "Me and John were the Barack Obamas on The X Factor last year. We made the change and this year there have been loads of changes on The X Factor. It's all about Jedward, it's all about Jedward-esque performances.

"Wagner's been compared to us, Diva Fever, Katie Waissel, they've all been compared to us, Gamu, everything."

John Grimes added: "It's kind of cool that each of those contestants know that they have to do something different, that is doesn't just come down to singing. Because everybody in The X Factor is here because they can sing."

The X Factor airs Saturday at 7.30pm on ITV1.
