Jedward caught up with NME to start “beef” with Coldplay and Oasis, and deliver us a cover of ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’. Watch the footage below.The pair spent a considerable amount of time on the red carpet of the Manchester ceremony at the Co-Op Live Arena, despite not being nominated or involved in the ceremony.Speaking to NME, John Grimes of the former X Factor contestant duo explained how they’d “been writing so many songs” and were “in our emo era, we’ve been in our emotions”.Brother Edward then admitted “I know we’re not Coldplay, I know we’re not Oasis,” before John interjected: “But you know what?
Coldplay could have done with some of our songs on their new album [‘Moon Music‘].”Edward then replied: “But we can sing Oasis – can Oasis sing Jedward?”A post shared by NME (@nmemagazine)John agreed that “you’ve got to be versatile”, before laying the gauntlet down to the Gallaghers: What we’re saying is: Liam and Noel, there’s some beef here.

Actually, I play guitar so I’m maybe a bit more of a Noel.”As well as teasing a Christmas single, John and Edward also spoke about “crashing” the stage at Thirty Seconds To Mar’s London show back in June.
