X Factor star John and Edward Grimes have released their debut single `Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)'. The Irish twins performed the duet with Vanilla Ice for the first time at the National Television Awards (NTAs) last month.
The boys told Digital Spy about their performance, Edward said: "Going on the NTAs was a massive deal for us.
"Bringing Vanilla Ice back to the UK for one special show was a great thing.
"Having performed his song on X Factor, it was just really cool getting to do it with him in person."
John added: "Doing the NTAs was just like doing the MTV EMAs, but instead of Justin Timberlake being in the audience there were loads of other famous people.
"We took the show up to another level. It went from polite rounds of applause to everyone standing up and going crazy."
The 90's rapper has said that he did not know who the boys were until he watched their performces on YouTube. Vanilla Ice then travelled to the UK to duet with Jedward.
Edward revealed: "We hung out with him on the Tuesday before and the Wednesday. He was just really normal and joking about."
John: "It's such a huge track that everyone knows. To have him teaching us how to pronounce words like 'burnin' and 'nimble' was really cool."
Jedward insist that they are not concerned about releasing a cover version of a song and feel that it was the right song for them.
Edward: "You know, we were on The X Factor and there were loads of different things we could have done, but I think this was the right song for us to release."
John: "We've got loads of songwriters writing new songs for us, but for our first release we thought we should do something that people are familiar with."
