They seem to be taking themselves rather seriously these days with their guitar, moody stares and model-style images - but their singing is still distinctly average.

The terrible twosome first won our hearts/irritated the hell out of us back in 2009, when aged just 17, they auditioned for 'The X Factor'. Last week they celebrated their 21st birthdays and this is their present to us all.
Take a listen to their 'Skyfall' cover above and let us know if they've made a huge mistake in the comments below.
And here's the original sung by Adele:

John: "We know what look is cool and we have to be cool for our fans and have the right attitude and look like pop stars. We're not the kind of people where it's all about us. It's about everybody around us."
Edward: "There's these little girls who are, like, under 12! And I'm like 'Why do you want to marry me?! You should be looking at Dora!'"
Edward: "L'Oreal, if you're watching this, I'm worth it too."
John: "Me and Edward are such players in our outfits. Only joking, we don't play with girls ever. We're cool guys."
Edward: "Once I was like 'Look, John, that's you on TV!' Then I realised... it was me..."
John: "When they were going 'booooo' they could have been going 'woooo' "
John: "Justin Timberlake would play me when I'm older and Britney Spears when I'm younger, because she kind of looks like us."
Edward: "Stop picking your nose, or else your nose is gonna be like, pregnant."
Edward: "The weird thing about Christmas is that you go to your dogs and say, "It's Christmas!" and they don't even know the difference. They think it's any other day, even though you've given them Christmas cards."
Edward: "I never ever wear t shirts, I always wear shirts and ties so our fans are going to be really really excited about seeing my neck. They'll be like 'Oh my god, look at Edward's neck!' and I'll be like 'Yo, check it out.'"
Edward: "If I had a girlfriend I'd bring her back to my hotel room to watch dvds and.... what else can u do in a hotel room?"
John: "I thought a feminist was, like, people who think, like, that woman are, like, I don't know, like, think that woman are... the women or girl is better than a guy?"
Edward: "Fashion is our big passion and our collection will look hot on the catwalk."
John: "It's not called The Singing Factor, it's called The X Factor. X could mean anything. We never do what's expected of us. If everyone thinks John and Edward are weird, it's because we don't follow the crowd."
Edward: "Basically we’re doing Eurovision because we don’t like going on holidays where people don’t recognize us. So now we wanna conquer the whole world so people can recognize us in every single country. But people do still recognize us, but we want it so we won’t be able to go anywhere."
Edward: "Our favourite thing about Eurovision is... we get to use foreign toilets."
Interviewer: What will happen when the two of you get married, will you see each other as much?
"We cant get married because we're brothers."
John: "The only people, ok, who don't know who me and Edward are, ok, are all the new babies who've been born."
John: "I think I’m going to do what Robbie Williams did and become solo, and take over the world. But don’t tell the other members of Take This, they don’t know yet."
John: "No, we don’t have pet names for each other, I call Edward ‘Ed-erd’."
EDWARD '“Okay, guys. We’re in London. If you don’t know, it’s in the city of... erm... England.”
Hi, my name's Greg, and I'm embarrassed to be English... Now, before you say anything, it's not just because of Piers Morgan. Alas, Britain is a union under threat, and if Scotland withdraws in 2014 then that union will likely collapse. Under such circumstances, I will be forced to call myself English. This will cause me acute concern, partially because Americans will confuse me Hugh Grant, but mostly because of this... I am ashamed of the St George's Cross flag. I'll pause there, so you can fetch the kindling for my pyre...
Tomorrow sees the first eviction of the series, and my money is on Georgia to leave, and her one man fan club cannot vote to save his Princess Jasmin. Kirk continued his master class in flirting, by asking if she had a drink would she kiss him; it's lovely to see romance is alive and kicking.
In essence, the X Factor UK isn't a singing competition anymore. In fact, it's become something of a freak show. A farce. And ironically, nothing highlights that more than Simon Cowell's brand spanking new baby, the X Factor USA.
While other judges may come and go, X Factor without Louis Walsh would be like peaches without cream, Laurel without Hardy, John without Edward. Louis, you really are what the X Factor is all about - I salute you!
Like it or not, there is always an underlying competitiveness lurking in there smuggled in amongst the bonhomie and international solidarity. It is like the Eurovision song contest with the same potential for bitchery, but without the voting.
The Eurovision Song Contest demonstrates not that "Europe hates us" but that "we", the inventors of pop music, are way behind the rest of Europe when it comes to the Grand Prix de Chanson. And, perhaps significantly, that we simply don't understand our near neighbours.
The harsh reality isX Factor won't be around forever. Reviews still need to be given, new talent needs to be found and the future of ordinary people being given the opportunity to be discovered needs to continue. So, The Voice UK, for a few months, I am all yours.
I'm still holding out for Frankie's TV moment, as he has to do something to cling on to his 15 minutes of fame, or maybe he thinks he will be the next X Factor judge like Andrew did. Come on Cocozza, crack on with those birds and let's 'av it!
Quite a good cover, although I have seen them doing better ones. Not a fan of Adele or her songs, but can appreciate it is really hard to be compared vocally to her. Don't have any of Adele's albums/singles, but I do have Jedward's and I do like their style of music. For all those who say they 'can't sing', they obviously haven't heard their albums and have just being brainwashed by the media.
From a 40 something fan.
JediOfSuburbia: Quite a good cover, although I have seen them doing
listening to the acoustic version its not a bad attempt it also depends whether it was a one off recording in which case they have done a very good job in the pas i have always prefered Bond theme songs to be a bit more punchy and faster pace not the slower almost ballad style.
slb1967: listening to the acoustic version its not a bad attempt
I love this JEDWARD cover! They definitely are better, and if you write something about them that means you are not indifferent! This is fine, because you can not be indifferent to these great guys! =) @SannyRayAtNight
SannyRayAtNight: I love this JEDWARD cover! They definitely are better, and
John and Edward did an amazing job with this cover. Personally I absolutely love it, it's great to see them develop and mature whilst they still are the same guys we first fell in love with years ago. Adele's songs aren't easy but they covered it well. Many people have discovered how talented they actually are after just giving them a chance and I really hope more and more people would leave their prejudices behind -John and Edward are brilliant two young men and I love them to bits! :)
KatarinaJedwardKatariina: John and Edward did an amazing job with this cover.
i think they did a great job its really a hard song to cover but they always put twist on their version. i personally dont like adele shes an amazing singer really but her style makes me want to fall asleep. Jedward always try their best. how on earth, bloggers pick up only on their youtube covers that they think readers will dislike or insult them more/ and dont pick up videos of them where they really did a great job like hall of fame. their luminous song is good as well.
Ed_Hunyo: i think they did a great job its really a
The problem is that when they were the wacky Jedward, they were popular for being different (bad, mostly). Now they are trying to be the serious Jedward and they are just average singers and nothing more, and there are teeming numbers of average singers around.
Arkleson: The problem is that when they were the wacky Jedward,
I really love this cover, their voices are beautiful, I really like hearing them sing separately too.Its a very different feel to their current single Luminous which is an awesome dance anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmhQqbt4gyU It just shows what versatile entertainers they are!
Felinetype: I really love this cover, their voices are beautiful, I
It's not bad. Whilst it's not my favourite cover they've done - that's currently Hey There Deliah - I think this is a pretty good version of a difficult song. I'm not a big fan of the original song anyway but John and Edward manage to convey the emotion pretty well. It's also lovely to see them singing together and to witness their ongoing development and maturity, particularly John's guitar playing. Well Done. Perhaps people will finally realise they aren't a novelty act and are deadly about their careers, whether its in music, fashion, tv or films.
WhoAmI_ally: It's not bad. Whilst it's not my favourite cover they've
Hahahaha Whilst this is true its nice to see he's taking the effort to improve. It appears their taking their music serious and have started songwriting. Ok it's early and the attempts might be rubbish, we don't know, but Max Martin & Andreas Carlson are helping (hopefully mentoring) them. Don't be a meanie. lol
WhoAmI_ally: Hahahaha Whilst this is true its nice to see he's
I think this is a great cover! Adele songs are extremely hard to cover! But the boys have done a great job! I think these 2 boys are great singers and they give this cover something that makes it brilliant! and to be quite honest I think John and Edward's cover is better than the original! I do like Adele's song of course! But like I said the boys give it something that makes it different and great! Just give the boys a chance they are incredibly talented and have hearts of gold! If you want to see more covers by the boys go on to their Youtube channel JedwardTV also! DOWNLOAD THEIR NEW SINGLE NOW ON ITUNES LUMINOUS OFF THEIR BRAND NEW ALBUM JEDWARD YOUNG LOVE! ALSO AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND SHOPS!
Jedicatedmollyx: I think this is a great cover! Adele songs are
Nobody can pull off an Adele song properly, no matter who or how talented. John and Edward aren't the best singers in the world but they HAVE TALENT! Why is it that the press ignore it when they do something brilliant and only take any notice when they do something with flaws. Give them a break, okay? And why has the writer made an album with all the childish pictures of them in disney outfits and being energetic? This website tries so hard to make them look bad just for the controversy, what happened to all the beautiful, mature pictures of them as two 21 year olds? They have changed so much since the X Factor so can people not judge them by their voices THREE years ago? It's pathetic! Listen to their current song Luminous, it's a mature, grown up song with amazing vocals, lyrics and the video is gorgeous. Give them a chance for heavens sake, what have they ever done to you?
SavedByTheJeds: Nobody can pull off an Adele song properly, no matter
Hmm, not that bad, no worse than many an X factor offering, they look quite nice in their new shirts and someone has showed them several chords on the guitar! Hardly the quality of Adele, but probably no need to take the rise out of them quite that harshly.
