Look away Queen fans.. John & Edward to attempt We Will Rock You on X Factor
John and Edward Grimes were spotted going over the lyrics for We Will Rock You as they were driven to rehearsals in London.
It's likely - no, it's a dead cert - that the twins' version will be nothing like the original.
But the Irish 18-year-olds, who have already wrecked a Robbie Williams hit and butchered a Britney Spears song, seem to be unstoppable.
Despite not being able to sing, they have sailed through the first three live X Factor shows.
Yesterday, Simon Cowell admitted he is "praying" they don't win X Factor.
He said: "If they win, it would be a complete disaster. I would get on a plane and leave the country, then sulk for about six months."
Even Gabriela Irimia, of The Cheeky Girls, who found fame on Popstars: The Rivals, took a pop at the boys.
She said: "People shouldn't compare them to us. They are not so good."
It's rock week on X Factor, which should be right up Jamie "Afro" Archer's street.
But after Cowell changed his song at the 11th hour last week, the 33-year-old said he has lost his confidence.
Jamie said: "I'm still smarting from last week."
