Twin sisters Katie and Aoife grew up in Ireland learning to sing and love music thanks to their father, who is a musician himself.

The girls loved singing so much that they made their family watch their performances all the time when they were little girls.

And that was way before they even really knew how to sing.

This time, they take on The Voice.

With supportive relatives behind them, the twin teens took to the stage to sing “Chiquitita,” a popular ABBA song.

The original is hard to beat since it is incredible all on its own thanks to spotless harmonies, but Katie and Aoife somehow managed to make the song even more beautiful.

And the moment they stepped into the spotlight, the girls showed no sign of nervousness, looking like they were meant to be on stage.

They began strong. So strong that judge Meghan Trainor turned around within the first 30 seconds after saying she loved the song.

Katie and Aoife are so good, some have referred to them as the new, modern version of The Corrs.

You know who The Corrs are!

The twins ditched their instruments to audition acapella which made this even more special and wonderful.

Aoife told the Irish Sun that it was daunting playing without their instruments, but it was a risk worth taking.

She said, “My guitar is like my comfort blanket and it was weird not having it there. It was our first time singing without a guitar, But sometimes you have to take risks and do stuff outside your comfort zone.”

She’s so right you know.

Katie then explained, “Music is in the family, at every family event there’s a session. We’ve always known we are musicians and singers.”

No wonder they’re compared to The Corrs!

The twins are regular buskers in Grafton Street and Henry Street in Dublin too.

Aofie and Katie are students at Sacred Heart Secondary School in Drogheda, Co Louth.

Trainor was the only one to spin though but the other judges seemed to have regrets not doing so.

Tom Jones commented, “I’m sorry I didn’t turn. I really am. I was listening and I loved it and I couldn’t find any fault with it.”

Even Olly Murs expressed his regret by saying, “I’m sorry I didn’t turn too. I loved it.”

Did you love it? Of course you did!

The twins forgave Tom for not turning though.

Olly then turned emotional as the girls returned to the back.

He had to be consoled by his fellow judges when he revealed that he has a twin brother he hasn’t spoken tin over ten years after the pair had an argument.

Olly couldn’t make his wedding and it just turned sour from there.

Murs says he gets emotional when he sees twins together, causing his fellow judges to hug him as he shed tears.

His confession came after watching the sisters bring the house down.

Let’s hope Olly reunites with his brother in the sweetest way though!
