Auditions
The brothers' audition performance, of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, including a twist; during the chorus, the brothers decided to take a burst of rap during the session.[1] The audition video had been the third most watched video in Ireland during 2017.[citation needed] The brothers advanced to the boot camp.
Bootcamp
For the bootcamp, they decided to go with a song by Bob Guadio and Peggy Farnia called Beggin' but halfway through were abruptly stopped by Simon Cowell, saying that "It was my least favourite performance" and asked to perform another song. They decided to go with Sing by Ed Sheeran which then blew away the judges, giving them the opportunity to advance to the next stage.
Six Chair Challenge
For the Six Chair Challenge they decided to pick a song called Something in the Way which then again Simon Cowell disliked, and asked for another song. They then chose Time, which then earned them the seat they needed to pass, which Simon substituted seat number 5 for them.
Judges Houses
During their time at the judge's houses they wanted to go with a song called What About Us? by Pink. Feeling confident,[citation needed] they began to sing the song, which they aced[citation needed] and gave them the clear passage to continue to the next stage.[citation needed]
Week 1
Week 1 was a big week for the boys when they first saw the stage; just a week before they were in class and now they're on the big stage.
They decided to sing the song Strong, and the judges gave them the green light to advance to the next stage.
Week 2
It's week two and the brothers went with a song by Sia called Cheap Thrills with a twist of Spanish in the song. Their take on it was loved by Louis Walsh,[citation needed] and were given the go-ahead to advance to another stage.
Week 3
Week 3 and they've chosen to go with a song called Freedom! '90 made by George Micheal. The brothers passed.
Week 4
It's the Quarter Finals and they have chosen Issues by Julia Micheals. Shortly after, they were outvoted and eliminated from the contest at 8th place.

Following their elimination, they made several appearances on talk shows. On 28 November,[when?] it was reported that they would be taking part in the Olympia Christmas pantomime.[citation needed] They also released three more singles, Be Like You, Get Lost, and Quit.
