Same Difference are possibly the cutest, cheesiest and most lovable brother and sister in pop. In fact they are preferably the only people in pop at the moment�

But after coming third in the X Factor in 2007 they are finally ready to let their bubblegum pop loose on the world of music - just in time for Christmas! I caught up the with gorgeous Sean and the cute Sarah to find out just how exited they were!

Hey Sarah and Sean, what are you up to?

Sean: We�ve been doing the X Factor and GMTV and a kid�s TV show, it�s been really really good.

Up really early then?

Sarah: Yeah, really early! We�ve been up at like six in the morning for the past two weeks.

Yuck! So good things now�how has the reaction been to your debut so far?

Sean; it�s been really good and people seem to be loving the song and what we�ve heard back so far is looking pretty good.

What have you been getting up to over the past 12 months?

Sarah: Well we went on the X Factor tour which was just incredible and we played to thousands and thousands of people. Then we went to Sweden to record our debut single album and then we went over to LA to do our video with the same people who were behind Britney Spears� Hit Me Baby One More Time, so we have actually had the most amazing year of our lives.

You also have a new album in the pipeline; can you tell me about that?

Sean: It�s out on Monday and it�s just pure pop and brings back all the best of the nineties and it�s an amazing album and we�ve worked with someone of the best people who have been behind Britney and Backstreet Boys and it�s really upbeat and great for all the family.

Who do you look up to within the music industry?

Sarah: It�s weird because there aren�t really any pop acts out there at the moment that we can say; �Wow, they�re doing amazing and we think they�re great.� [FF: That�s what you�re here for!] Yay! When we were growing up I was really into Steps and S Club & and I always loved Whitney Houston and singers like that but Sean preferred rock music and was brought up on Meat Loaf and Bon Jovi so it�s a weird mixture but it works!

Who do you think is the best artist around at the moment?

Sean: I love listening to Kings Of Leon at the minute, I think they�re fantastic. I also just bought Leona Lewis� repackaged album and that cover of Run is just amazing and I love it and can�t stop listening to it. Oh, and The Script, I like listening to them too.

What was the last CD you bought?

Sarah: It was yesterday and it was We R One by Same Difference! We went into HMV and bought our single.

If you could go on tour with any band, who would it be?

Sean: I think we should have a Steps and S Club reunion and us go on tour with them and we�ll do the biggest pop party ever.

There�s a S Club reunion on at the moment but there are only like 3 of them, make up the numbers!

Sarah: I know, it�s dead sad, when I heard that S Club were doing it I was like: �That will be amazing!� and then it�s just the three that people don�t remember.

Have you been watching this year�s X Factor?

Sean: Yeah, absolutely.

Who do you like best?

Sean: I have to say Alexandra, we met her the other day and she was just so lovely. People keep saying that she�s quite similar to Leona and that could go against her but I really wish her all the best. And Eoughan too; he�s really good.
