'X-Factor' contestants John and Edward had only 30 minutes to learn this week's dance routine.

The show's choreographer, Brian Friedman, explained the theme for Saturday's (22.11.09) show was changed at the last minute because the songs "weren't blending well" - meaning he had only a short space of time to choreograph the tuneless twins latest act.

Speaking at the premiere of 'Me and Orson Welles' last night (18.11.09), Brian told BANG Showbiz: "We just got the songs yesterday so it was kind of a rush to get all of the routines together.

We just got the songs yesterday so it was kind of a rush to get all of the routines together.

"For John and Edward I was choreographing them on the spot and they only had 30 minutes in there to learn it. It's a lot for them to learn in 30 minutes.

"It's a huge production number but today was their best day ever which was odd because we had to do it so quick.

"I changed my method of teaching with them and I stopped giving them such intricate moves or things which took a lot of co-ordination and tailoring."

The 32-year-old choreographer also said the twins - who are rumoured to be performing 'The Wham Rap' on Saturday's show, where the six remaining contestants will perform songs by George Michael -believe they can make it to the final.

He said: "I can't see them winning but if they keep doing what they've been doing and entertaining the crowd, that's what's going to get them votes. I think they're really starting to believe in themselves now that they have a shot. It's a big deal."
