27/08/2010-->"X-factor' hopfuls compared to Jedward"

French twins Samir and Mehdi explain before their audition on tomorrow's show that they picked the name Twem because it means "twins" in Arabic.

"We started singing when we were babies in the kitchen on the table with our mother," they say. "We [have] come from Paris for the X Factor auditions.

"To sing in English is a big challenge for us but it's also a very beautiful language. I really don't know what Simon, Cheryl or Louis will think of Twem. I hope that they will like [us]. We are determinated [sic]."

After performing Lady GaGa's 'Just Dance', Cheryl Cole admits that the pair do not have the best vocals but says that she "really enjoyed" it because they are "likeable and infectious and cute".

She adds that they are like the "Parisian John and Edward" but Simon Cowell tells Louis Walsh: "This is the effect you're now having on Europe and that is a terrifying thought... The two monsters you created are spreading across Europe."

However, Walsh agrees that the pair have the "likeability factor" and says: "They're entertaining. Everybody loves them here."
